'Letters from Iwo Jima, directed by Clint Eastwood
This is the second film from Clint Eastwood on the Iwo Jima theme. Watch the commanding General Kuribayashi transform a volcanic island into a fortress waiting for the Americans to assault it from the sea. Many battle scenes are directly connected to the ones in Flags of our Fathers and this is a great way to understand the opposing forces and their efforts to fight and survive. The film was nominated for four Oscars.
Much recommended.
