Letters from Iwo Jima : Memorial to Baron Nishi

[encrypt777]

War sucks, we loose so may good people at the expense of the elite's inability to coexist. Once we can get rid of greed war will end.

[BaronNishi61]

belle musique takeishi un brave homme qui aimait sa belle patrie

[bruins274]

stupid japped droped dead good. Americans kick ass, get over it everyone

[MrIhatehippis]

for saying that jerk we lost in vietnam

[emiliocommander]

@bruins274

oh quiet you, japan attacked pearl harbors naval base, which was a military target, while the USA bombed two citys with atomic bombs, which was clearly civilian targets. not so mature by the US government.

[Nationsnotregimes]

Ignorant statements.

Read, read, read.

The bread dough must be kneaded first, before it becomes bread.

[TokubetsuKogekitai]

WOOOW Where you found all the pictures?? Thats amazing.

[TheYakasama]

world peace.. defend yourselves for the incoming aliens!!

[dcarrero26]

@TheYakasama yo yak,just buy big guns ,you'll survive.

Great tribute. It's incredible how a movie can bring back forgotten names in history.

[Nationsnotregimes]

January 1945 - MacArthur forwarded to the President a Japanese offer to surrender to which was exactly what we accepted 7 months later. Had it been accepted when first offered, there would have been no heavy loss of life on Iwo Jima (over 26,033 Americans killed or wounded, approximately 21,000 Japanese killed) and Okinawa (over 39,000 U.S. dead and wounded, 109,000 Japanese dead)

[pietoroberettam93r]

天皇陛下万歳！

[MobiusInfinity117]

did he really do the scene where they treated the wounded american guy ?

[ComradeAgopian]

Even though he was the enemy , he did his duty as he saw it . He must be respected for that .

[Pictsac63]

Dear RisingSun1984,

thank you very much for posting this. The video is perfect, the music chosen perfectly.

Honor to baron Takeichi Nishi.

Thanks from Italy

[jakeozzy95]

@danwk7 Moron.

[lol02468]

Rest in peace..... :'(

[princess2narnia]

I love Baron Nishi, because he is the one who wanted treat a wounded american soldier at Iwo Jima. His end is so sad, I still cry when I think about it and when I see the movie.

Stay in peace, Takeishi

[LouAu]

Story only, may not be true!!!!

[brightonhamster]

you do know he never treated a wounded soldier thats just in the film

[tripper85]

@brightonhamster no he actually did treat an american.critics researched on all the facts of this film before critiquing and they were surprised to find out that was actually true

[SadCarnage1224]

Regardless if he provoked it or not both needed to be stop no matter the cost germany was exterminating while japan was enslaving nations eventually would have been attacked and the world would have probably ended with last an final battle between germany an japan

[xxblackyburnzxx]

How does a good person end up on Iwo Jima , well i guess thats not up to us to know.

[helmuthoorn]

How do good men from any nation end up in a war ?

[warstinger1234567890]

this guy is the ultimate roll model ( and yes ive seen the movie letters from iwo jima).

PEARL HARBOR

MOTHER

OF ALL

CONSPIRACIES/search engine]

everything that the Japanese were planning to do was known to the United States ARMY BOARD, 1944

President Roosevelt (FDR) provoked the attack, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn the Hawaiian commanders. FDR needed the attack to sucker Hitler to declare war, since the public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe.

FDR blinded the commanders at Pearl Harbor and set them

[videogamenostalgia]

I know. Hitler told me. He's hanging out at my pad with Walt Disney's brain in a jar, the Roswell aliens, princess Di and Jesus' body wrapped in a linen cloth.

[Nationsnotregimes]

the truthful facts few really want to know

[Nationsnotregimes]

Interesting that facts of What MacArthur told H.S.T. would garner three negs, but what would the motive ?

Enemy Aliens ?

[Nationsnotregimes]

Neg rep, no problem by me, but what is posted about General Douglas MacArthur is fact.

IMO he knew the truth of Dec. 7,1941 from day.

MacArthur is and was one the finest patriots we ever had. R.I.P. General

[Nationsnotregimes]

Historical fact, gets some folk hystrical LOL

Its not an opinion.

[Maierpartie]

I really thank you for this video

[sinnsmd]

Its really nice too see normal common sense responses too a well done respectful video, awesome job, rekindles faith in people and you tubers and the fact peace and respect are still alive and well. Thanks :)

[phiadongtay]

T H A N K S !

[MarcosSoni]

I believed that he was a good man. Even in the midst of so much anguish and evil there are rays of hope. That's what sometimes history or bias fails to capture. That's why I enjoyed this movie and this man's history so much.

[shaymaster17]

so he died in the battle of course

[LouAu]

When I studied about equestrian... BAron Nishi is the only Asian to get gold metalist...Last year, HK was talking part of equestrian...

[OregonDuck54]

yes but america had cut off with japan and america was the reason japan developed into a dictatorship but the saddest story in japans history was during the american colinization of japan when the samurai were becoming scarce

[vsovereign2]

This was the guy who hang out in Hollywood & Beverly Hills before the war right?

[yooma4]

the music is amazing it gave the whole movie a sadness to it, and ive lived in japan before when i was a kid and japan has got to be my favortite country beside my own, its an amazing country and by far my favorite asian nation, no offence to any other Asian people tho

[marshall9doom]

lol and none taken. Although Japan invaded my country and massacre part of kin(Chinese but I'm half tho') its not to blame all Japanese. Japanese soldiers were instrument, brainwashed and train to kill in the name of the Emperor(well Tojo in fact). Yea and Baron Nishi guy, his just doing his duty as a soldier even if its the extent to kill his American Friends. May him, Japs and US Marines find Peace...lol yea...

[LouAu]

The most important is they received the imperial order !!!

[Easyway1]

great movie. I've always been interested about ancient Japan history and etc., and this movie really touched me.

If i never want to be from other country than Finland, its a easy pick = Japan.

[blygox129]

Yeh same here

[23Erwinrommel]

me too only im a us citizen

[predpis92]

@Easyway1 Till the Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan was one of the most agressive states on the world. Huge affect made by atomic bombs change them to todays image.

[Dogmeat1950]

@Easyway1 Japan really? ancient japan was no easy thing. Japan is a nice place but I doubt very much you would want to live in that time. bound to get your head cut off for saying the wrong thing.

[Shundra]

I read that his horse, Uranus, which whom he won the Olympic game, died 1 week after him...

[FREDMAXXX]

amazing movie that tells a great historic story of real heroes !!!

[kondurperufour]

He is the guy who won a medal in los angeels OG,he killed himself in the movie,great movie with great music

[h3rmana]

can anyone tell me the real ending of the whole movie? my disc were cut off..what happened to Saigo?

[Souw92]

He dug a hole for Gen. Kuribayashi's final rest and then came some US Marines and suddenly Saigo tried to attack them. A marine hit him and at last, he woke up and looked at the sun and sea. That's all.

[Dorumagesu116]

In addition to Souw92's comment. So Kuribayashi shoots himself, and Saigo buries him. When the marines come, they take his pistol (and Fujita's sword) as war trophies. Saigo got angered by this whehe saw the pistol in the marine's belt, and attacks him with a shovel. Then what Souw92 said would happen, and the scene goes back to present day Iwo Jima, where the excavators find the letters Saigo buried. As they fall out of the bag, the voices of the fallen Japanese soldiers are heard.

[killroy9309]

wow i never knew he exsited

[gunzoline93]

R.I.P

brilliant leader

what a waste to dye there

[crazyed66]

Well done. A fine tribute to an interesting man. The exact circumstances of his death are unknown, but the film version was fitting. He was only 42.

[Gongo234]

Erich745 you are a stupid person and you don't know anything.

[Erich745]

The chinkies got what they deserved.

[baltostella]

i give you 5 just for the music

[Nationsnotregimes]

For the FLOX NEWS idiots listen up, it was the very same enemy aliens who SET up the Japanese an US for Dec.7 1941, and then did J.F.K. in Nov 22, 1963, and thate one with the insurance fraud, and mass murder in NYC seven years ago.

[mydogbiteme]

"cures poison by poison"

it's an old proverb of japan.

[mydogbiteme]

american did slaugter colored race by radioactivity.

not japanese, it's own peaple like japanese unit731.

caucasian did discrimination to blacks.

america was did same thing from japan.

or more.

are you still believe america was good country.

and continue it?

[mydogbiteme]

still you belieave that japanese are strange race.

and still americans are racist.

[mydogbiteme]

it's called bushido.

it's a responsibility of a strong person that helps a weak person.

american has the same thing.

[Nationsnotregimes]

Japan was Provoked into a War of Self Defense

Synopsis of Arguments by Lawyers for the Defense

International Military Tribunal for the Far East

By C. W. Porter

[mydogbiteme]

neither the japanese nor the american have the difference.

american says that it is strange the culture of japan.

it's because you do not know the japanese fought for asia.

[mydogbiteme]

you will not believe the japanese to have sacrificed the life for people in asia.

but this is truth.

do not believe the history with which some slaughter events are decorated.

[mydogbiteme]

america had justice, japan also had justice.

american believed that japanese was a barbarian.

japanese believed that american was a barbarian.

american propaganda was "to destory evil country"

japanese propaganda was "to protect asia from evil country"

it made a mistake in both.

[dcarrero26]

@mydogbiteme

[dcarrero26]

@dcarrero26 dude did the us fly all the way to tokyo and bomb them first?

[dcarrero26]

@mydogbiteme pearl ...nanking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WheelSlip8]

@dcarrero26

Little Rock, Wounded Knee, Little Bighorn, Manzanar, Gettysburg, Trail of Tears--------------- should I go on?

[Cujo19760210]

@mydogbiteme Every country has its propaganda. Even some peace countries like Cananda, Sweden, Switzerland etc...

[neo91787]

@mydogbiteme well maybe so but what Japan left was the confidence and courage in other colored people who had been under rule of white people for over 500 years or so. Even many white historians pointed out so and the Asian nations except China and Korea agree on it. And most Japanese soldiers believed in freeing the enslaved Asia and beefing up them like Japan did to itself in Meiji restoration so that white would let Asia alone.

[Dannavy85]

Let us grieve for the thousands lost from Pearl harbor to the Typhoon of steel of Okinawa if only to create a world which their sacrifices helped to create.

To my Japanese friends whom I came to know and love in 15 years of US Naval Service. Bless your honored dead.

[Nationsnotregimes]

Thanks to FDR and his treason Cabal

[kuiichi]

let us all remember the courageous Japanese soldier or warriors who sacrifices their life for iwojima

or japan

[Ragger10]

I respect Nishi...but I can't explain why. I KNOW it though..lol hard to put it in words.

[Miguelelrojillo]

sin duda los ultimos soldados de valerosos... pero la guerra no tiene nada de valerosa

[kaffeflingor]

he shouldnt have gone to war!? hes country was in war, he served his country and died as a hero.

[predpis92]

This is one of the most beautiful songs which i have ever heard.

And you get to very nice pictures, good job.

[RenaldoLapuzRocks]

cool

[DavidMed58]

he shouldnt have gone to war he woulda been cool riding horses :) stupid jap. goverment

[ngparkse]

whoa

[545lljkr]

An amazing and shocking film This gets an A+.

[soona86]

military men are so (heroes) u know...

[guyfromholland777]

iv seen the movie flags of our fathers to is the flag still standing there?

[Nationsnotregimes]

Read

Preface Culture of Critique

[sliverazuria]

No.

[seiko1965]

I cant imagine losing my husband to war and not knowing how/where he perished or where he's buried. How sad:-(

[erinpilla]

I feel so sorry for you :-( I mean it sincerely.

[seiko1965]

? I was referring to people like Mrs Nishi and Mrs Kuribayashi, not myself:-)

[guyfromholland777]

sorry for your loses sry 4 my enlish but my grand father whas the only dutch guy that served there

[erinpilla]

I cried the most when Baron Nishi died in the movie. Honestly, I was crying throughout the movie

[Nationsnotregimes]

The US, AU, N.Z. Canada along with England should have been mutual protection allies for World Peace and the crushing of Bolshevik/MAOism Communism! Then we would have had World Peace and NYC and London criminals would be in jail and have no power today.

Japanese ruling elite never wanted to war wih the West. Our schools don't even tell just the plain ole truth.

[Nationsnotregimes]

In the End I would bet you Smedley Butler was sorry, very sorry he did not help arrest FDR in 1933, as he should have. FDR Recognized the USSR, first Nation to do so was US. Then FDR bumbed off Huey P. Long, and then 100% provoked Dec. 7, 1941.

[seiko1965]

I recall writing a letter to the son of Baron Nishi. Baron's son said he remembers his father saying he did not wish to fight Americans, as he had many firneds in USA, but he had to fulfill his duty as a soldier. Thank you for this video, it really brought back lot of memories.

Then, either GOOGLE this...

"THE McCOLLUM MEMO"

or go to Wikipedia and look up this...

"McCollum memo"

also known as "THE EIGHT INSULTS" of FDR.

US Government had cracked the JAPANESE CRYPTO CODES since 1922 WASHINGTON NAVAL CONFERENCE, and knew EVERYTHING about Japan... sometimes even BEFORE the Japanese Embassy in Washington DC did!!

"SURPRISE ATTACK" and IJN Fleet "RADIO SILENCE" are both US Government MYTHS for Public Consumption of US People to be FOOL'ed into joining WWII.

[Nationsnotregimes]

In the End I would bet you Smedley Butler was sorry, very sorry he did not help arrest FDR in 1933, as he should have. FDR Recognized the USSR, first Nation to do so was US. Then bumbing off Huey P. Long, and then Dec. 7, 1941.

NOT junk or nut stuff.

Baron Nishi was a man full of the japanese virtues, Honor,Bravery and Duty and free of the japanese vice Cruelty.

He should be remembered.

May he rest in peace.

[Kermoareb]

viva el baron nishi pero también Kuribayashi, que se hallaba en una situación muy similar a la suya, y que luchó por su páís por encima de sus sentimientos. Suena absurdo, pero realmente, no tuvo elección. De tenerla, obviamente habría evitado el conflicto.

[yampikike]

que viva el baron nishi en los corazones de quienes luchamos con nobleza y respeto al enemigo

[yampikike]

baron nishi es un ejemplo a seguir de npbleza y entrega a su pais en los momentos dificiles

[diareah1234]

ok heres the thing there is a simple fighting unit and then there is a unit behind the country

the simple fighting units of the axis comit no attrocities but the ones behind the country such

as unit 731 and the shuattstaffel they were the ones behind the country they commited the attrocities not the fighting units

[Kermoareb]

We are humans:americans,frenchs,japon­eses,spanish(like me).The experience of Milgram cannot be the only asnwer(read about it).I've seen Letters from Iwo Jima, and I didn't know before that anything about this extraordinary man(like Kuribayashi). What a shame...

[Kermoareb]

Politicians decide,soldiers fight...what a shame,what a silly thing.I don't understand why people obeys when they are pretended to kill other people.There are twi kinds of person:the aggresive and the "normal".Why the latter obeys?Why not to refuse more killings?

[dinokatsaros]

dude wat do you expect of world is really screwed up like that old "wise men" declare wars and young men fight them then the fathers are left to dig the graves

[andresguerrero2804]

Baron Nishi, pure honor. The thing is that he and general Kuribayashi, did their duty. Defend his nation. Japan was in danger, and they knew that their cause was lost.I read the preparation of the actors for this movie. They visited the families of these heroes. Mr Eastwood is a genius. I know that the first movie was very type Hollywood, but the second movie, is marvelous. When the general heard the chorus of children of his city. Oh my God!

[aznxtacy25]

i think all of them were. the main character is actually a boy band singer. sort of like the japanese back street boys. the characters that had lines in the movie are japanese.

[Tonahuac1989]

Awesome guy. Between him and Kuribayashi - The actors in this film were really quite a bunch of Japanese actors.

[anniemihn]

War is a tragedy and a ignorance. Even those who do not agree with such absurdity have been killed because of tribal and primitive conflicts. What a shame that such a charming guy have been killed...

[LouAu]

War is all god-damned politician game!!!They all enjoyed to manipulate and dominate the foreign sacred lands...Too much greed, Ambitious, jealousy and selfish!!

[SuperstarNR1]

Japan and USa were friends before the pearl harbour attack why did japan attack america when they had sp close relations..

[japanrocks1]

japan was just trying to win back Hawaii which many natives are actually japanese from the americans

'A guy like him should shut his face' - Clint Eastwood on Spike Lee. Photograph: Nicolas Guerin/Corbis

Clint Eastwood has advised rival film director Spike Lee to "shut his face" after the African-American complained

In an interview with the Guardian published today, Eastwood rejected Lee's complaint that he had failed to include a single African-American soldier in his films Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima, both about the 1945 battle

[545lljkr]

Meaning?  I don't know whether Clint is racist or not.

[Nationsnotregimes]

The Japanese and Chinese will and would never put up the C--p from the low I.Q. savages like White idiots have.

[Nationsnotregimes]

Japanese and Chinese would never put up with C--p from low I.Q. savages like the Whites have in the last 40 years.

[545lljkr]

What are you talking about?

[sleazyfellow]

There were black men there, but they werent put into combat roles....although Im sure more than a few perished on that island.

Talking to black americans from that time alot are bitter that they didnt get their shot. Alot felt white men wanted all the glory.

[Nationsnotregimes]

B.S. and this post shows the projection and pathological hatred of Whites

[sleazyfellow]

Nope, watch that ken burns doc called "The War", one black even says that. I dont really think theres pathological hatred of whites either...

[killajoy714]

Nice vid.

[Sammyoak]

Nishi and Sam. that was one nice part in the movie it shows us not all Japanese were bad. I think if Japan had more men like Nishi Japan would have been fighting against Nazi Germany.

[Audril]

And not all germans were bad. And not all americans...

One thing are a goverment and other thing very diferrent is a soldier.

If you was a German in 1939, Could you say that you fought against your own country?

Sorry for my english, I´m Spanish...

[Gangstadaime]

Baron nishi was a great man i loved him in the movie

[yowatsaywat7]

There are those who say Baron Nishi would've made a great diplomat for negotiations between Japan and America.

[Sammyoak]

I think Nishi was one of the greatest equestrian ever.

[Sammyoak]

In fact he was a tragic victim of the War.

[linan801024]

Baron Nishi is a cannon fodder.

[Sammyoak]

Baron Nishi was a great person. I saw the movie I loved how he and the wounded american Sam talked to one another.

[LouAu]

That's the movie's story, may not be the real situation!!!

[yowatsaywat7]

A Japanese author wrote in his biography on Takeichi Nishi that it may have been based on a true event.

[JGBcrash]

yes,it is the only olympic medal in Japanese history of equestrian event.
