precious home letter

The old cowboy Eastwood uses the skillful technique to show the story behind the Japanese mind. Letters from Iwo Jima is moving in my opinion. The film tells that the Japanese army headed by Subayashi Nakamichi adopted a stubborn resistance strategy against the US military, but behind the war is forbearance, expressing their tearful sympathy to several soldiers who were forced to join the army (including Subayashi Nakamichi) through memories and family letters. The oath of affection and love. But they had to be loyal to the emperor, and their conflicted moods were intertwined with the smoke of the battlefield. When they were resting, their main thoughts were pinned on the precious family letters, including their concern for their parents, and their longing for their wives and daughters. In fact, not only Japanese soldiers, but also American soldiers.

The word "humanity" is best expressed in war. Oliver Stone's "Field Platoon" won him a golden statue through his profound reflection on the Vietnam War and the exploration of human nature. Although "Letters from Iwo Jima" has fallen, its intention is also here.

Looking at the precious family letters, everyone can look forward to the return of their loved ones. The war brought people a cup of dust and one monument after another. In the face of the war, both Japan and the United States lost.

  • General Tadamichi Kuribayashi: [Tadamichi turns up in time to stop Ito from beheading Saigo and Shimizu] I don't want you to kill my soldiers needlessly. Put down your sword. Put it down!

    [Ito sheathes his katana and salutes]

    Lieutenant Ito: These men ran from Suribachi.

    Lieutenant Ito: [embarrassed] I am very sorry, General. It's just... Suribachi... has fallen.

    [firmly]

    Lead Woman: We have all sent our husbands and sons to war. We all have to do our part.
