The film itself deserves five stars.
Subjectively, Japan launched a war of aggression, which directly led to the death of Lieutenant General Kuribayashi and his soldiers on Iwo Jima. The so-called poor people must have something hateful, deduct one star;
Objectively speaking, the all-American production team invited a group of Japanese actors to shoot such a film from a Japanese perspective. It talks about human nature far more than war, and highlights the truth with small ideas; the one that runs through the film. The melodious and low-pitched music that accompanies the family letter is a highlight; in addition to the commoner baker actor and Shimizu who was expelled from the gendarmerie, the other two focus on the 1932 equestrian Olympic champion Nishimura and Shimizu. The leader of the Japanese army on Iwo Jima, Tadashi Kuribayashi - both of them have been to the United States and are relatively famous in the United States. It is also convenient for the production team to start the plot from these two people.
Of course, this is an obvious anti-war film. Even in the eyes of the Chinese, the military madman who often shouted "Jade Shattered" and "Long Live the Emperor" in the Anti-Japanese War had no brains and charged onboard. The American director borrowed the help of Nishimura and Li Lin The image of the two senior officers almost completely overturned this - no one wanted to die or commit suicide for no reason.
Finally, the screenwriter in this film is Lieutenant General Kuribayashi Nakamichi. Does it mean that someone actually dug up the notes hidden by Kurulin on the battlefield of Iwo Jima and made this movie based on it?
