Spoiler Alert: The most emotionally powerful scene in the movie is when Ira Hayes, a Native American Indian, goes on a journey of 1300 miles to inform a devastated father that his son was one of the six who raised the second flag at Iwo Jima. This act contradicts what the military and government had previously claimed. After delivering this heartbreaking news, Hayes walks away into oblivion, ultimately meeting a melancholic death at the young age of 32. This occurs ten years after he fought alongside his comrades at Iwo Jima, feeling proud of his role in battle but disgusted by the media circus, racism, and distorted history that followed. It's difficult to discern any strategy in that battle other than sacrificing countless teenagers. Despite my efforts, I couldn't find any method in such madness. Mr. Eastwood, your aim was to bring truth to the screen and avoid the pompous and hypocritical rewriting of history by victors (and Hollywood). Your intention was to depict it as accurately as possible. Thank you for your efforts.

These two films are excellent. They provide valuable insights into the events of Iwo Jima from both sides of the battle. The brutality and atrocities committed by both sides are depicted, showing the impact on American soldiers in Flags of our Fathers. The story of Ira Hayes, which was previously told in the 1961 film The Outsider, focuses on PTSD. War is a horrific experience for those involved, and surviving it takes a toll. Letters from Iwo Jima is also an outstanding movie, although it is evident that more resources were invested in its production compared to Flags of our Fathers.

Clint Eastwood's films continue to impress with their efficient storytelling approach. Unlike many Hollywood movies today that drag on unnecessarily with plot holes, Eastwood delivers a solid narrative without wasting any time. It would be great if more mainstream American directors followed his example.

These two films, directed by Clint Eastwood, offer great value and are centered around the battle for Iwo Jima in 1945. "Flags of Our Fathers" focuses on a group of US marines during the battle and explores its impact on survivors, their families, and the US public. On the other hand, "Letters from Iwo Jima" tells a compelling story from the Japanese perspective and is arguably the better film. It doesn't shy away from depicting the brutality of the Japanese but also humanizes them in a way rarely seen in movies. Although it is entirely in Japanese with subtitles, this language barrier does not detract from its powerful storytelling. It's impressive that an American director like Eastwood was able to achieve such authenticity despite potentially having limited knowledge of the Japanese language. Both films incorporate CGI at times, which may be noticeable but ultimately enhances their overall quality.
