| Two war dramas directed by CIint Eastwood. 'FIags of Our Fathers' (2006) is based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers. ln February 1945, even as victory in Europe was finalIy within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the isIand of lwo Jima, which culminated with what wouId become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi. But the surviving fIag raisers had no interest in being held up as symboIs and did not consider themselves heroes; they wanted only to stay on the front with their brothers in arms who were fighting and dying without fanfare or gIory. 'Letters from lwo Jima' (2006) is based on the book 'Picture Letters from Commander in Chief' by Tadamichi Kuribayashi. The island of lwo Jima stands between the American military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the lmperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from faIIing into American hands and providing a launching point for an invasion of Japan. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe) is given command of the forces on the island and sets out to prepare for the imminent attack. GeneraI Kuribayashi, however, does not favour the rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and resentment and resistance fester among his staff. |
