Letters From Iwo Jima
The Scene of Battle: Battle of Iwo Jima
Behind Enemy Lines: A companion piece to Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima tells the story of the same battle from the Japanese perspective. It's a far cry from shlocky fodder like Pearl Harbor which saw the Japanese as gloomy, villains coldly scheming over maps.
Trivia: The film did much better in Japan than it did in America, landing the Number One spot for five weeks.
