The cave scenes. The sulfur smell. The letters home. Both films together say: War isn’t won by the brave. It’s survived by the broken.

Just finished Clint Eastwood’s powerful pair— Flags of Our Fathers (American perspective) and Letters from Iwo Jima (Japanese perspective).
• Letters from Iwo Jima (★★★★★) — a masterpiece. Japanese dialogue, subtitled, but emotionally universal. Ken Watanabe gives a quiet, tragic performance as General Kuribayashi. The underground tunnel warfare is claustrophobic horror.

Together, they form one of the most anti-war statements in American cinema.
Just watched Letters from Iwo Jima . No heroes. No villains. Just men writing goodbye letters in a cave. Easily the most human war movie ever made. 😔🎥 #IwoJimaMovie #LettersFromIwoJima #WarMovieReview
