I think it really does us (Americans) some good seeing the other side. He went a step further with this film by having the dialogue be almost entirely in Japanese. In 2006, he uniquely directed both this movie and Flags of Our Fathers which tells the same story from the American perspective (movie was alright). Great actor who is an even greater director, but not someone that you would imagine directing a movie entirely from the Japanese perspective. One is the fact that it’s directed by Clint Eastwood. This American produced film is quite unique for several reasons. The battle pitted a force of over 100,000 American soldiers against 20,000+ Japanese infantrymen. This film tells the story of the Battle of Iwo Jima between USA and Japan during WWII from the Japanese perspective. I know there have been a ton of war movies, but this may go down as my 2nd favorite (Saving Private Ryan #1 of course).
