LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA (2006)

Director: Clint Eastwood 

Starring: Ken Watanabe, Kazunari Ninomiya and Tsuyoshi Ihara 

Plot Summary: The story of the battle of Iwo Jima between the United States and Imperial Japan during World War II, as told from the perspective of the Japanese who fought it. 

Telling the story of the famous WWII battle from a Japanese perspective, Clint Eastwood's Letters from Iwo Jima is a companion piece to his own Flags of our Fathers. And, to a certain degree, it's a better film. In Letters, the glossy romanticism of history crumbles before our very eyes.
