With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of Iwo Jima itself, the unprecedented tactics of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe, The Last Samurai) and his men transform what was predicted to be a swift defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic and resourceful combat. Their sacrifices, struggles, courage and compassion live on in the taut, gripping film Rolling Stone calls "unique and unforgettable." It is the powerful companion piece to Flags of Our Fathers. | | | Product Details: | | | Actors:

LETTERS from IWO JIMA Blue-ray DVDJun 26, 2010
I try to purchase all movies Clint Eastwood has any thing to do with. The problem with this movie is I do not speak nor do I understand Japanese. I feel AMAZON.COM should have printed in large type along with the movie advertisement that the dialog for this movie is all spoken in Japanese. Therefore for my use this production rates ZERO stars, but you force me to pick at least one star in order to submit my comments.
PS - I notice one of your criteria for submitting a review is "are you over 13?" I am 72.

 nothing specialJun 24, 2010
I was intrigued to watch this, as seeing a movie about the Battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese perspective seemed promising.
Alas! I don't feel the director or the scriptwriter had any insights into that battle, into the the lives of their characters, or into the mind of the Japanese that anybody else doesn't. It was all so stereotypical.
Plus: couldn't tell the characters apart, as they all look the same and Eastwood does nothing about this. The guy who was taken from his wife? I thought he died like 3 times! Was he the guy with the shovel at the end? (Before branding me a racist, bear in mind I had the same complaint about the companion movie, "Flags of Our Fathers.")

 Its clint eastwoodJun 18, 2010
This movie deserves every award it recieved and more. Clint eastwood is able to bring a perspective of WWII that many others have tried but in a spectacular way. Covering many things that happened and even showing you the family side of japanese life during the war. This movie will open your eyes, and teach you things you never thought you would learn.

The only Enemy is fear and ignorance...May 14, 2010
"If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm any hostility." (Longfellow)
Eastwood's masterpiece certainly humanizes the WW II Japanese military in a way that few movies ever have. I would however suggest watching Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (Oshima) for an insight into their appalling treatment of Allied prisoners of war, which cannot be ignored.
An immensely talented Japanese cast, headed by the superb Watanabe and Ninomiya, bring these characters to life in a way that renders this an unforgettable movie.
In a career filled with excellence, this to me is Eastwood's finest hour.
Outstanding.
