Letters from Iwo Jima

LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA (2006) - Feb. 26, 2007
About the battle of Iwo Jima, this time from the Japanese point of view, this was a really well made but slow-paced film. The performances were all really good, and Clint Eastwood's direction was what you'd expect (very good). There were some scenes that were quite powerful, but overall I think Flags of our Fathers was the slightly superior film (and I didn't notice all that much overlap, but it would be interesting to watch the two movies back-to-back). ***
