Product description

Two war dramas directed by Clint Eastwood. 'Flags of Our Fathers' (2006) is based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers. In February 1945, even as victory in Europe was finally 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 island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would 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 flag raisers had no interest in being held up as symbols 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 glory. 'Letters from Iwo Jima' (2006) is based on the book 'Picture Letters from Commander in Chief' by Tadamichi Kuribayashi. The island of Iwo Jima stands between the American military force and the home islands of Japan. Therefore the Imperial Japanese Army is desperate to prevent it from falling 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. General Kuribayashi, however, does not favour the rigid traditional approach recommended by his subordinates, and resentment and resistance fester among his staff.

    Mr. Eastwood directs a grim WWII perspective from both sides of the conflict. A must watch if you are a fan of WWII drama. Watching only one is half the story, so that's why I bought the packaged set. Very different from other Hollywood movies of the Pacific conflict that you have seen before. A heartbreaking story for everyone involved in that battle. Kudos to Mr. Eastwood. A must-see if you are a fan of Ken Watanabe.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Flags of our fathers & Letters from Iwo Jima - 2 disc box set - Clint Eastwood
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 6, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    Excellent films, both of them. Flags of Our Fathers is about the raising of the Stars & Stripes on the top of Mount Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima during World War II and how the iconic photograph was used in the United States to raise money for the war effort. It is a gritty, powerful, and often very moving film. I have just two criticisms: (I) I was frustrated at the film not being clear who was who of the men on Mount Suribachi and the photo, and (ii) people did go to church, especially at that time. Whilst I don't like it overdone, going to church was, and still is, a fact of life.

    Letters from Iwo Jima is the same battle seen from the Japanese side. The film covers very well the Death Cult aspect of Imperial Japan. It fails to cover adequately the sheer brutality of life in the Imperial Japanese Army at that time. There is none of the face slapping and physical violence that went with being in the Imperial Japanese Army. Also the film fails to cover the endless playing with their equivalent of the Ouija Board that the Japanese soldier indulged in, or, indeed, the more sordid aspect of the comfort women.

    Whilst I very much appreciated the absence of nudity and / or sex, I have to wonder if Clint Eastwood, Steven Spielberg, the scriptwriter(s) and others didn't sanitise the Imperial Japanese Army just a bit too much in leaving out the face slapping, the Comfort Women, and what is actually the animist beliefs of the average Japanese soldier at the time. Add in the lack of clarity on who was who in the famous picture of the flag raising on Mount Suribachi and maybe the films are only worth four stars, but, firstly, I have watched both films more than once, so somewhere along the line they were very good films, and, secondly, I am feeling generous, so five stars it is.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comment fait-il ?
    Reviewed in France on August 15, 2012

    Eastwood est devenu une véritable machine de guerre à construire de bons films.

    Pas forcément toujours des films de génie, mais toujours des très bons films.

    Ces deux-là n'échappent pas à la règle. Ils doivent être vus d'ailleurs l'un à la suite de l'autre.

    Le second me semble meilleur que le premier (moins de personnages - les japonais se prennent une pâtée, l'effectif se réduit très vite !) et j'ai failli faire l'erreur d'attendre un peu pour le visionner.

    Ces films relèvent en fait plutôt du docu-fiction et vous atterrirez inévitablement sur wikipedia après la séance...

    Comme j'ai dépensé quelques euros pour me les procurer, je me crois en droit d'adresser une supplique à Clint. Même deux.

    D'abord, je le supplie de pondre un bouquin ou une vidéo où il nous explique comment il fait pour être aussi lucide et énergique à son âge.

    C'est un mystère. A plus de 80 balais, ce type a plus d'énergie que moi à vingt. Vous me direz, "ça sent que ce n'était pas difficile".

    Normalement, il devrait se conduire comme un papy, le chat sur les genoux, la loupe pour faire les mots fléchés et une petite camomille sur la table. Ben non, c'est pas son genre.

    Faut donc qu'il nous explique. Marabout ? Femmes de petite vertu ? Drogue ? Moi je prends sa recette dès maintenant.

    L'autre supplique tient du constat que Clint semblerait se sentir trop vieux pour jouer. Il se donne une mort cinématographique d'acteur dans Gran Torino.

    Alors là, je dis stop. Clint, tu es sur la mauvaise pente. Ta présence est indispensable à tes films. Tu joues ce que tu veux, mais ta sale gueule nous manque cruellement.

    Allez sors les béquilles et viens jouer. Ta présence à elle-seule fais basculer un bon film en film indispensable.
