    In the wake of American Sniper, I thought it would be prudent to reaffirm that Eastwood can do neutrality. I passionately consider Letters from Iwo Jima to be one of the best war films of all time; with the refreshing viewpoint and heart-rending sensitivity being the tip of the iceberg. It is intrinsically even-handed, movingly reasserting the notion that the enemies are not the foot-soldiers but the puppets masters who, out of nobility or vanity, expect their beliefs to be willfully encompassed by innocents. All this thought-provoking pathos and profundity is heavily diluted in American Sniper. It’s there, but it is astronomically inferior to Eastwood’s magnum opus of great spirit and egalitarianism. Letters From Iwo Jima is more important now then ever, it seems.

    It was better than its companion film, mostly because it lacks the preachy American ethos and much better character studies. The focus is solely on the island, through the preparation of their defence, and their ultimate loss. Decent action, great performances, but the pacing was a little off, dragged in the second half. Clint Eastwood ranked

    They were expendable. Cinema and its paradoxes, a movie in which death hangs over everything, but whose ghosts in action are bound to forever endure.

    I think the greatest characteristic of Clint Eastwood’s films is that they revive the highly developed “form“ of early Hollywood cinema (say, from the 1940s) without ever relying on nostalgic elements. His talent is his firm conviction that cinema is storytelling as well as his confidence that with any story, however he tells it, he can capture the heart of the audience. As a result, he has continually tackled various types of stories, and never tells the same story twice. Also, despite his avoidance of any superficial novelty, oddly enough, his films look like no other before it. Therefore, his films always feel like something entirely new beyond just the mere level of storytelling. I would say that right now…

    Letters from Iwo Jima is instinctively my favourite Clint Eastwood directed film. It’s certainly the most evocative. It improves upon every aspect of Flags of Our Fathers, taking the most profound elements and expanding them, whilst having fewer annoyances to let things down. It lacks subtly and is too melodramatic and expositional to be a perfect film, but Letters from Iwo Jima is a masterful piece of cinema. The film opens with a reminder that this is a film of the dead and the deserted, it instantly imbues a sense of history. The skies are constantly grey and the film quickly becomes a colourless haze. No one wins in war, so it is often only films about those on the…

    waited for the right time. Clint’s best of the 21st century. was hoping it would mean the world to me which is why I saved it for so long, but it hit even harder than I expected. have never seen a film shot in colour look so devoid of it. witnessing the ghosts’ stories takes a toll. have no words for how emotional this is really.

    one of the great war films precisely because it refuses to reduce its conflict to a couple of cheap action setpieces — the battle for iwo jima was slow, grueling, protracted, and clint knows to spend that time on the human beings instead of the bullets — i think it’s really telling that this is among the few american WW2 pictures that portrays war crimes without narratively justifying them as ‘necessary evils’. every death here is unnecessary, contingent, and lamentable — regardless of nation or ideology, clint wants us to see all shades of the war, both the insanity and dignity.

    Haunted caves and the forgotten men who still inhabit them. A slow march of doom that radicalizes the Fuller idea that there’s no heroism even in surviving by just postponing death a while longer. An achievement of place, the island as this large symbolic grave at same time very empty and resonant. The film is spare, minimal, very physical, yet packed with mythmaking particularly when it comes to the idea of defeat (Shigehiko Hasumi once compared Watanabe’s character to a confederate official out of a Ford western). It has two clear modes: one tactile recognizing of approaching death, another larger design when devotion to country is equated with same (and it is worth remembering both Eastwood’s Iwo Jima movies are very much Iraq war movies). It also fulfills Eastwood’s career long desire of making a film that is just ghosts and it does so admirably.

    Clint took Spielberg’s money, tricked him and the audience into thinking he was making a Saving Private Ryan-esque No-man-left-behind O-say-can-you-see (literal) flag-waving propaganda piece, used 90% of it and made an anti-propaganda movie that criticizes all those things, and used the remaining 10% to make a personal, sorrowful, deeply moving character study on the Japanese “invaders” whom were simply young men forced to leave their families behind to die for people who believed they were doing what was right; just like us. All in the tender year of 2006. Clint has a bigger set of balls than literally any director alive.

    Harry Ridgway 8 月 23, 2026

    Letters from Iwo Jima begins in a state of solemn reflection. An examination of the brutality once exchanged at this iconic island. The remains of the battle are flipped through sombrely and in no time we are thrust back to their origins — 1945, right in the thick of the coal-black soil. This particular battle has been explored before, but what makes Letters from Iwo Jima distinctive is its perspective and the films affiliation with it. The Japanese soldiers aren’t relative, but absolute. They aren’t hidden in the shadows like most war epics, but brought to light and sympathetically investigated in depth. From the coarse beaches of 1945 to the remains of present day, Letters from Iwo Jima remembers this…

    Director Clint Eastwood does the unthinkable here for a Hollywood movie and films the Japanese perspective of the battle of Iwo Jima with an all Japanese cast speaking in Japanese. And it’s all the better for it giving it the authenticity it needs.

    Mais uma vez Clint Eastwood imprimindo a fantasmagoria na própria imagem, dai, diferentemente de ‘Hereafter’, esse filme esmirila a história com um apelo ao real que impele esses fantasmas não pro futuro, mas de volta ao passado. O que quer que isso signifique.

    Evidentemente el mensaje es todo lo bueno y antibelicista que podría ser, pero la película como tal es tremendamente aburrida y gris, literalmente. Muestra la crueldad y el “fuego amigo” de la guerra con una frialdad que es lo mejor de la película, pero sus momentos de grandeza moral y resignación patriótica se pierden en una duración prolongada, repleta de detalles que finalmente no acaban sumando a la trama y personajes que solo acarician la superficie de todo lo interesantes que podrían ser, como el general protagonista. Así que bien, pero tardaré alguna década en volver a verla.

    “This is still Japan.” Clint é sensível, inteligente e corajoso o suficiente não só por fazer um filme hollywoodiano sobre a Segunda Guerra na perspectiva dos japoneses, mas principalmente por não centralizar esse filme no ato da guerra em si, e sim, nos seres humanos que infelizmente participaram desse ato. Incrível e de partir o coração.

    영화를 볼 때 사회적 배경 혹은 특정 문화에 대해 영화라는 매체가 지니고 있는 형식에 대해 마지막으로 영화속 주인공에 대한 편견을 가지고 본다. 이 영화는 이야기한 3가지 편견을 모두 부수려 한다. 앞선 2가지는 꽤 익숙하다고 느껴지지만 마지막 경우만큼은 영화를 이해하고 몰입하게 만드는 더 중요한 역할이기에 종종 잘못된 시도가 영화를 난해하게 만든다고 생각하는데 여기서만큼은 그런 어색함을 느끼지 못했다. 영화 속 미군 혹은 일본군이나 특정 장교 또는 병사를 보면서 그들을 독단적이거나 계산적인 사람 혹은 선과 악의 편으로 갈라놓게 되면 이 영화는 그것을 금세…

    Es muy difícil hacer que una película de un conflicto bélico no me guste, pero esta lo logro, para ser unas de las batallas mas sangrientas de la segunda guerra mundial tiene muy pocas escenas de acción, si bien el mensaje de la película es humanizar a los soldados japoneses dando a entender que la mayoría eran trabajadores o campesinos sin ningún tipo de odio alguno que los mandaron a matarse, creo que la película lo hace de manera lenta y aburrida lo cual hace que el film se haga totalmente largo

    Fascinante, uno queda petrificado con lo que era el lado japonés durante la segunda guerra mundial, lideres que estaba dispuesta a mandar a sus hombres a la guerra con el mensaje de que no volverán jamás, ya que deberan morir por su patria. Una batalla que representó uno de los ultimos suspiros de los japoneses por dar pelea.

    Um bom retrato da linha defensiva do império japonês na II Guerra Mundial alimentado por um patriotismo exacerbado irracional colocado na sua população de forma mecânica. O filme faz um bom trabalho a não romantizar a guerra demonstrando a escassez de recursos e uma moral desalentada suportada por uma ideia de sacrifício e suicídio honroso por parte japonesa.

    Cuando la mayoría de las personas piensan en Iwo Jima, no saben ubicarla en el mapa o piensan en la icónica fotografía de los soldados americanos levantando la bandera homónima sobre el monte Suribachi. No piensan en jovenes desesperados y atrapados en una isla casi desierta mientras esperan a una muerte casi segura, sufriendo silenciosamente por el deseo de regresar a casa y ver a sus familias. Generalmente cuando se habla del frente del pacífico de la segunda guerra mundial…

    Letters from Iwo Jima es una película sobre hombres que ya están viviendo como muertos. Desde que llegan a la isla, la guerra se siente una espera inevitable. Las cuevas, el aislamiento y ese paisaje volcánico casi desprovisto de vida convierten a Iwo Jima en una suerte de prisión de la que no existe salida, donde cada día simplemente se acerca un poco más el final. Clint retrata la guerra con poca épica y casi ningún espacio para el heroísmo…

    I finished Flags of Our Fathers, and said, “They say the other one is even better?” It didn’t take long to put in the Blu-Ray. My heart is with Flags. But this, no doubt, is the better movie. A powerful and harrowing experience – I don’t use that word lightly, either. A testament to Clint’s capabilities as a director. I cannot believe I put off these two as long as I did. I loved both of them.

    Hay que darle todo el crédito a nuestro querido viejo Clint, porque debe ser de los pocos que puede pararse frente a un estudio, tomar la plata, e ir contra la corriente de la tradicional ‘War Movie’ americana, mostrando una misma batalla bajo ambas y distintas perspectivas. Mientras con Flag of our Fathers apela a lo que es el heroísmo bajo el constante cuestionamiento del ser, merecer o directamente fabricar/manipular, Letters from Iwo Jima apunta tanto al honor y el coraje, bajo rasgos de humanidad entre la mismísima mierda de un combate.

    Maybe it’s just that this is the companion movie for Flags of our Fathers, but I like how it’s very willing to portray the pride and honor the Japanese soldiers had, both in admirable ways and to their faults. It was interesting seeing things we’d seen previously from the Japanese perspective as well. Overall I think I liked Flags of our Fathers a tiny bit more even though I think the characters in this were better and more memorable. I…

    a filmografia do clint eastwood é um bagulho absurdo, a cada filme q vejo eu fico sem entender como foi esse veio safado q dirigiu cada um deles. esse filme tem peso sentimental que é padrao do véio, mas é um peso real que realmente mostra como qualquer um de nós estaria no meio da guerra. por isso achei o personagens saigo muito foda, a cada choro por companheiro ou carta q escrevia pra esposa mesmo sabendo q ela nao receberia ele me ganhava cada vez mais. pouquíssimos cineastas americanos fariam oq o esse véio safado fez. genio da bola.

    Japon askerlerinin başarısız olduklarında utanıp kendilerini öldürme fikrini hiç anlamamışımdur,bu filmdede ayrı sinir etti.Kaybedecekleri kesin evet ama böyle yaparak kendilerini daha da güçsüzleştiriyorlar.Modern bir savaş için ilkel yöntemler.

    The film manages to turn individual stories into a serious critique of militarism, nationalism, and the concept of heroic death, while refusing to turn war into an entertaining spectacle. I appreciate the perspective and message, but it didn’t hit me deeply enough nor did it seem particularly complex.

    Every story has two sides so of course I followed up Flags of Our Fathers with Letters from Iwo Jima. Of the two films, this one was the more brutal for me. You watch everything quickly fall apart at multiple levels from first wave defenses collapsing, disagreements between officers leading to calamitous losses, and most disturbingly how some divisions do what they believe honor requires of them when they think they have failed. It’s also rare to see such an…

    Astounded by the contrasts of what type of movie this is to its sibling film. Kept wandering what this movie was building towards, no happy endings, no catharsis, it’s just people in the face of absolute doom, and one man’s determination to not die. I just haven’t seen a war movie that establishes more we are outnumber and out gunned the movie is just literally watching them lose slowly. It’s so sad. Kinda blown away by it.

    Surprisingly good. I have a love/hate relationship with Clint Eastwood’s movies—they usually fluctuate wildly in terms of quality and overall sincerity, sometimes being genuine masterpieces and other times being director-for-hire slop. Letters from Iwo Jima, obviously, is one of the former. An earnest—though sometimes schmaltzy—exploration of war and the propaganda that drives it. There’s no shirtless testosterone-fueled macho men running around the battlefield in this one, just skinny conscripts desperately trying to survive. Could be a pretty decent companion piece to Terrence Malick’s Thin Red Line.

    Rewatch. For those who didn’t know yet: Japanese soldiers are human beings, too. Apart from that, this could have been a WWI, WWII, German, French or English war movie. I don’t see much that is specifically Japanese here. Very good acting, especially Ken Watanabe, nice camera work and fine battle scenes. The attempt to humanize the “enemy” is probably the film’s biggest strength. On the other side: overlong and at times boring, especially in the first half.

    So much of the love for this film is for the ability for Clint Eastwood/the American myth-making machine to have respect and empathy the other side of a war. And that is admirable. But what takes it across the line is Eastwood’s disinterest in engaging American exceptionalism even when it’s there for the taking. It’s the unifying mother’s letter to the dead American soldier that puts into perspective that both sides are losing lives (in this battle) for little purpose…

Des d’un primer moment ja es preveu que serà dura, una fotografía crua amb colors desaturats i una música que no és l’alegria de la huerta que diguem assenten la base d’una història que, tot i sabent-ne el resultat, déu n’hi…

    Simplesmente um dos melhores filmes que já vi sobre a Segunda Guerra, interessante demais ver como o Clint Eastwood traz dois filmes sobre as duas visões da mesma batalha em Iwo Jima, com esse filme e o Flag of our Fathers … Achei esse daqui bem melhor que o outro e deu pra perceber que tiveram muito mais cuidado com o filme, a cena dos soldados se explodindo com as granadas ou os soldados americanos matando os prisioneiros de guerra japoneses foram algumas das cenas mais perturbadoras que já vi, um dos melhores filmes anti-propaganda com certeza!

    Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) — ★★★★½ (8.5/10) Directed by Clint Eastwood, this stands as one of the most significant war films of the 2000s, and the stronger half of Eastwood’s Iwo Jima diptych. The film recounts the Battle of Iwo Jima from the perspective of Japanese soldiers, framed through the letters they write from a place many of them know will be their grave — a choice that sets it apart, since this is an American production that deliberately…

    Interesante película antibelicista, cuya principal idea es mostrar a los soldados de ambos bandos como iguales, superando la educación basada en el odio al enemigo.

C’est assez original pour une fois on est du côté des Japonais, toujours cette réflexion d’humanisme, de patriotisme. “Est-ce que ça vaut le coup de se sacrifier au combat en grand patriote plutôt que…

    Lettres d’Iwo Jima commence de manière assez différente de Mémoires de nos pères : on découvre d’abord, des décennies après la bataille, les restes de soldats retrouvés par des chercheurs avant de revenir sur l’île, quelques semaines avant l’affrontement. Les lettres deviennent alors le narrateur du récit, donnant son titre au film, mais aussi une dimension intime à cette guerre racontée depuis le point de vue japonais. Eastwood cherche avant tout à humaniser ces soldats avant de les envoyer au massacre.…
