Title: Not your typical WWII Fare
Review: These are two beautifully crafted stories showing the same major battle (Iwo Jima) from both sides. Eastwood has truly done an amazing job of capturing opposing perspectives. Additionally, the underlying personal struggles of the main characters on both sides ads a truly human element. For all the touted struggles of later generations in dealing with the tragedy of combat, we see that the "Greatest Generation" dealt with the same demons.Don't watch one without the other. But prepared to read, as "Letters" is all Japanese dialogue with English subtitles. The cinematography, attention to detail and choice of locations are awe-inspiring.
