Iwo Jima Movies Clint Eastwood
Watch Letters from Iwo Jima 2006 Full Movie Online in HD. 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. The film is taken from the American viewpoint of the Battle of Iwo Jima, while its companion film, Letters from Iwo Jima, which Eastwood also directed, is from the Japanese viewpoint of the battle. Letters from Iwo Jima was released in Japan on December 9, 2006, and in the United States on December 20, 2006, two months after the release of Flags of Our Fathers on October 20, 2006.
More importantly, 'Letters From Iwo Jima' is the biggest, most propulsive anti-war statement to come out of mainstream Hollywood in years. It’s even more sharply pointed because it comes from Eastwood, long a Reagan Republican and probably considered by most Americans to fall to the right in contemporary politics. But Eastwood has done something nothing short of amazing with 'Iwo Jima.' He’s made the flip side of his own movie, 'Flags of Our Fathers,' which was about the American soldiers who planted the Stars and Stripes on Mount Suribachi when they’d won their battle in 1945. Eastwood literally filmed 'Iwo Jima' while he was editing 'Flags,' too, without a breather in between.

Flags Of Our Fathers
Exec in Japan forwarded Eastwood research during 'Flags' about letters written by Lt. Tadamichi Kuribayashi (played masterfully in the film by Ken Watanabe). Eastwood took the letters, found a screenplay through Paul Haggis ('Crash,' 'Million Dollar Baby') and quickly put together a whole second film that tells the story of the battle for Iwo Jima in reverse, so to speak, from the Japanese side. Significantly, there are no overlapping scenes from the two movies except maybe for one: the very beginning of the battle as the Americans arrive on the island’s shore, and the Japanese army seems to be absent. In 'Flags' that’s the way it looked, but in 'Iwo Jima' we get to see the other side: how the Japanese prepared for the American arrival, and what went into their side of the war. Because of Iris Yamashita’s remarkable screenplay, by the time the explosions and horrific deaths commence, we are very invested in the Japanese soldiers and their lives.
