Pour the color of sulphur, express despair for despair

It's hard to say how I feel after reading the letter from Iwo Jima

The saturation of the whole film is consciously reduced to a rather dark level, filled with an atmosphere of depression, despair

Especially when thousands of U.S. warships and aircraft appeared on the sea, and the isolated Japanese army, who had lost the cover of the combined fleet and air force, could only engage in a hopeless and desperate struggle.

This color is really the death splash of Iwo Jima

Battle Royale

The encirclement shrank a little bit, the hilltops fell one by one, and the Japanese army hid in the tunnels to survive.

From time to time, there is a big bombing, and it is a carpet type, strafing, high-explosive, napalm, in a variety of ways, lest the Japanese army appreciate the splendid fireworks of death.

What should the Japanese army do? Some committed suicide, some gambled their lives on the charge, and some timidly surrendered.

This is the real [Battle Royale], but there is no Jedi survival, only Jedi and Jedi, despair and despair

home letter

This is the soul and the wedge of the whole film, good war movies have wedges, detonating the audience's G-spot

Saving Private Ryan is "rescue", while soldiers approaching the city is "sniper", this is naturally a "letter from home"

There are letters from commanders, letters from ordinary soldiers, letters from U.S. soldiers, and many, many letters left over from the family. After 60 years, they were excavated by geological exploration.

Behind the family letter is the warmth of human nature

Not a belligerent, but in the name of troubled times

Like Captain Miller in Saving Private Ryan

Death, the Desperate Home of Desperate Letters

Kuribayashi Chudao

The main axis of the Japanese army on the whole island is contrary to the second-hand commanders who charge without brains in many films

Have strategy, dig tunnels, retreat and defend elastically; have warmth, cherish the value of every soldier; have blood, fight to the death

Watanabe Ken adds a lot to the characters

It is a pity that he is fighting a war that is bound to be defeated. He has only one purpose, to kill and injure as many U.S. troops as possible, to gain time and space for the homeland, and to increase the cost of the U.S. military’s overcoming infinitely.

Judging from the later facts, it was achieved to a certain extent. Brimstone and Okinawa surprised the U.S. military. The just-right atomic bomb ended the war ahead of schedule. Otherwise, the U.S. military might have suffered millions of casualties, and Japan might have genocide their families.

Positive Three Views

The above are pure videos, videos

Well, the destruction of the Japanese army in the Battle of Iwo Jima was completely self-inflicted and self-inflicted,

When hundreds or thousands of planes bombed Pearl Harbor, you have to do a good job of defeating and despairing at any time once you wake up the giant.

The battle lines are too long, the appetite is too great, the system is out of control, and death is not far away

Down with Japanese militarism!

Anti-war

Anti-war has become a genre trend in war films. What is the true nature of anti-war? It's not spraying blood plasma, it's not advocating sadness, and it's not ignorantly expressing despair.

Instead, it warns the world that war is not fun. If you can solve it without force, you should use less force. There are many ways to improve yourself. Force is the fastest, most addictive and most likely to self-harm. Just like drug addiction, no matter how much happiness you enjoy, it will eventually come back.

In this regard, it is a pity that Iwo Jima's letters are not much written.
