Rama’s SCREEN

LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA

Now this… this is way better than Flags of our Fathers.

Letters from Iwo Jima is like the ‘Monalisa’ of war movies…
this is pure masterpiece.

I give most of the credits to Irish Yamashita and Paul Haggis for penning this.. art.

and Clint Eastwood.. o don’t even get me started with this son of a gun.

Clint Eastwood just gets better and better as he gets older… he’s like wine!!

War is a terrible thing.. whether you’re on either side..
we’re all humans.. with loved ones whom we’d rather be with at anytime.
you need to have patience to watch this movie.. but in the end you’ll appreciate the fact that you’ve watched it.

    Clint did an excellent job with this movie.

    Truly a movie that is original in every way that shows the other side, and actually makes the watcher sad for the enemy (or in this case the “supposed enemy”).

    I agree with Rama, if you have the patience this movie can be very rewarding in terms of, that you feel different on how war is no matter what side you believe in. People die, people get hurt, and really, no one truly wins.

    And that right there is a feeling of how a movie can move a you.
