I've watched too many war movies recently, and I'm a little tired of aesthetics. The description of the war scenes in this film is somewhat similar to that of "The Banner of the Fathers". I think what this film expresses is that such a war can really uphold the faith of a country? Does such a senseless sacrifice really make sense? War brings nothing but harm. Saigo, a poor baker who was used by the Japanese military police in the name of the country, was forced to join the army for the country. In the battle of Iwo Jima, his combat ability was slightly poor and he was always bullied by his boss. Fortunately, he was rescued by Ririn, an officer who participated in the Olympics. Shimizu, who was later expelled for not being used to the gendarmes' behavior, came to fight together on Iwo Jima. The war continued, and four days after the bombardment by the US military, a hillside was quickly occupied. The defeat gave the order that he was incompetent and could only commit suicide. Shimizu and Saigo witness the suicide of their colleagues. After Xixiang lobbied Shimizu to turn it over, he decided to flee back to the rear of the war. One of the officers wanted to hack to death the two deserters who had escaped. But he was rescued by Li Lin again. The unstoppable force of the U.S. military, an officer in the war ordered the rescue of an American soldier, and moved everyone by reading his family letter before his death. Shimizu went to surrender to the U.S. military, but was killed. The grief-stricken Xixiang wrote a letter to his family. Ririn gave a speech of anger to the death, and the whole army was wiped out. Saigo went into hiding after sending off the wounded Kuribayashi who committed suicide. The U.S. military found him facing collapse and stunned him. At the end of the film, the deceased found in a cave on Iwo Jima that these warriors had written letters of missing their families.
