Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)

Cast: Ken Watanabe (General Tadamichi Kuribayashi), Kazunari Ninomiya (Saigo), Tsuyoshi Ihara (Baron Nishi)
For complete cast info, see IMDb's Letters from Iwo Jima page.

Letters from Iwo Jima is definitely an intense movie. Not for those who can't handle subtitles (though David chose the movie from the Netflix DVD's we have, he wasn't prepared to have to read it). I heard that this movie was better than Flags of Our Fathers. I don't agree with that, though it was very well done. I'm a big fan of Ken Watanabe and he and the rest of the cast are amazing, but for me it wasn't quite as good.

If you liked Flags of Our Fathers, I definitely recommend renting Letters from Iwo Jima if you haven't seen it yet. If you didn't like Flags of Our Fathers, you should probably skip the second movie in the set.

Grade: B
