Product description

Two war dramas directed by Clint Eastwood. 'Flags of Our Fathers' (2006) is based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers. In February 1945, even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. But the surviving flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or glory. 'Letters from Iwo Jima' (2006) is based on the book 'Picture Letters from Commander in Chief' by Tadamichi Kuribayashi. The island of Iwo Jima stands between the American military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling into American hands and providing a launching point for an invasion of Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) is given command of the forces on the island and sets out to prepare for the imminent attack. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favour the rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and resentment and resistance fester among his staff.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Flags of our fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima - 2 disc box set - Clint Eastwood
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Excellent films, both of them. Flags of Our Fathers is about the raising of the Stars & Stripes on the top of Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima during World War II and how the iconic photograph was used in the United States to raise money for the war effort. It is a gritty, powerful, and often very moving film. I have just two criticisms: (I) I was frustrated at the film not being clear who was who of the men on Mount Suribachi and the photo, and (ii) people did go to church, especially at that time. Whilst I don't like it overdone, going to church was, and still is, a fact of life.

    Letters from Iwo Jima is the same battle seen from the Japanese side. The film covers very well the Death Cult aspect of Imperial Japan. It fails to cover adequately the sheer brutality of life in the Imperial Japanese Army at that time. There is none of the face slapping and physical violence that went with being in the Imperial Japanese Army. Also the film fails to cover the endless playing with their equivalent of the Ouija Board that the Japanese soldier indulged in, or, indeed, the more sordid aspect of the comfort women.

    Whilst I very much appreciated the absence of nudity and / or sex, I have to wonder if Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, the scriptwriter(s) and others didn't sanitise the Imperial Japanese Army just a bit too much in leaving out the face slapping, the Comfort Women, and what is actually the animist beliefs of the average Japanese soldier at the time. Add in the lack of clarity on who was who in the famous picture of the flag raising on Mount Suribachi and maybe the films are only worth four stars, but, firstly, I have watched both films more than once, so somewhere along the line they were very good films, and, secondly, I am feeling generous, so five stars it is.

    5.0 out of 5 stars As Haunting as 'Saving Private Ryan'
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2008
    Verified Purchase
    Two films about one battle in WW2 will have the viewer questioning their own beliefs about heroism in war. In 'Flags of our Fathers' the true story of the surviving soldiers who raised the US flag on the important island of Iwo Jima is beautifully told. Plucked from the on-going battle, 3 ordinary soldiers find themselves touring a US that is losing interest in the war. Their mission is to sell war bonds, to whip up patriotism and convince the public that victory is just weeks away. But removed from their comrades and paraded at football matches, rallies and political meetings takes its toll on the men - none more than the Native American soldier who takes consolation in drink as the tour continues. The battle scenes on the sulplur coated island are as memorable as those in 'Saving Private Ryan' as the US forces find themselves fighting an enemy dug into a cave and trench system which gives them many opportunities to pick off the advancing troops. The story is told from the view point of one of the flag raisers and is based on a book with the same title.

    'Letters from Iwo Jima' will turn the viewer on their head. The same war, the same desperate battle - soldiers from a different side of the conflict. Young Japanese troops, on a 'suicide' mission and knowing that there is no help coming, face impossible odds as they fight to keep the strategic island in Japanese hands. We learn about these young men in flashbacks as they are taken from civilian life - and from wives and children - and landed on a desolute landscape which they are told must be defended. The battle rages through tunnels and caves, the tradition of "Honour" amongst Japanese soldiers is tested as their General - a man who lived some time in the US before the war - tries to give his men the best chance he can.

    Clint Eastwood has proved himself as a director before, but these 2 pictures secure his place among the greats. Moving, tragic, inspiring - 'Flags of our Fathers' and 'Letters from Iwo Jima' are a must for fans of war films and also for those who are not always comfortable with the genre.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 January 2010

    ++ Letters from Iwo Jima (2 Disc Special Edition) [DVD] [2006] Review [Contains spoiler!] ++
    Of the two films, I would definitely say that Letters is the better of the two. The themes of the film completely reversed the onlook that I had of the events during the American invasion of Iwo Jima. Lt. Colonel Nishi once lived in America, after competing in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. One of his men shoots an American soldier, and he orders his men to bring the man in and tender him. Also, in a flashback, General Kuribayashi, the commanding officer of the Island's defence, remembers a dinner party that he was the guest of honour at, in which he is given a pistol as a parting gift, which earlier on had been assumed by his men to have been taken from a dead American soldier. A woman at the table asks him "what would you do if America and Japan would go to war?" to which he honestly replies "I believe that they would make superb allies." The film, like all truly great war films, questions the bedrock of your belief of the Japanese soldiers, as the main view that is portrayed in most war films is that of the Americans or Brits.It is a shame that the film did not win more awards, for it is truly briliant. The two twin films, Flags and Letters are interlinked, and are essentialy the same film from two different viewpoints. As a footnote, the entire film is in Japanese, with no other language options, so subtitles are necessary, unless you understand Japanese. This language choice seems somehow fitting, and I would not watch it any other way.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant idea, brilliantly executed,
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 February 2009
    Verified Purchase
    Flags of our Fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima (4 Disc Special Edition) is as I hoped... a brilliant packadge. If you like the old style films given a modern look then look no further, as in the hands of Mr. Eastwood these films leap out of the screen and come to life. Brilliant acting, music, scope and stories... it's only let down slighlty by the lack of a Directors Commentary (as I'm sure everone would like to know Mr. Eastwood opinion on anything). For anyone who likes the old film like the Bridge over the River Kwai or The Great Escape (with a little personal touch). This is a DVD set for you.

    Mr. Eastwood directs a grim WWII perspective from both sides of the conflict. A must watch if you are a fan of WWII drama. Watching only one is half the story, so that's why I bought the packaged set. Very different from other Hollywood movies of the Pacific conflict that you have seen before. A heartbreaking story for everyone involved in that battle. Kudos to Mr. Eastwood. A must-see if you are a fan of Ken Watanabe.
