Customer Ratings & Reviews

The story from the Japanese point of view of World War II is to some a welcomed dilemma. Clint Eastwood tells how the Japanese soldiers’ code of ethics comes into play for warfare. Honor is everything to them. It has very graphic battlefields; with a tease of humor, compassion, and respect for the enemy.

The story is strikingly blunt – your orders are to kill as many Americans as you can before you are killed. Recommendation for a better prospective: View this film after your view of "Flags of Our Fathers." An interesting side note: Movie premiered in Tokyo with very positive Japanese interest, reception and reviews prior to being released in America.

Very cool Blu-Ray disc of Letters of Iwo Jima.Very nice 1080 picture and a great surround sound-The battle scenes are all around you. Also the movie is realy good.Clint Eastwood knows how to make great movies.I also have the companion piece Flags of Are Fathers-do note Flags of Are Fathers was released on Blu-Ray by Dreamworks as Letters from Iwo Jima was released on Blu-Ray by Warner,and as Dreamworks has ditched Blu-Ray for HD DVD Flags of are Fathers will soon be gone from store shelfs,so if you have yet purchase Flags of Are Fathers on Blu-Ray and I have been thinking about buying it make sure to get it now.

this movie was okay it gave you a differant way to think
