Some believe that the purpose in life is to achieve the perfect death. Perhaps I don't quite believe in that myself, but man do I respect it. I salute all who have fought for their country, their home, their family, for love, and for life.
@kuneng16 I guess you still haven't seen 'Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War'. If you like war movies I don't think there is a better film than this. Strongly Recommend it =)
@BrotundSpiel And for me, this film said, there no heroes on the war - there are only victims.
And, by the Dragovin08: I think, there is such thing as good or evil. There ale righteous wars and there are aggressors, but it isn't, what this film was about.
Whatever - this is one of the best war films I ever saw. And soundtrack brilliant.
there is no such thing as good or evil there is only reasons that we fight there is never a right or wrong never a choice only an outcome and how r we so different if we r the same this is what this movie says
Pay respect to every soldier from every country, whether good or bad, there is no such thing, they just followed the orders of their leaders, and served their country.
Did you ever noticed that people are fucked up in the world. I mean you don't know who i am but if i were some poor guy, you wouldn't be my friend. Fuck that i don't go for looks, i go for what is inside of that personne.
@OnbekendGHC I will die in the defense of my country. The war in the Pacific, was literally a hell on Earth. those who came out alive from fighting i have the up-most respect for, no questions asked.
ppl ppl stop arguying this is not a discussion over a war for 70 years ago lets all rememebr them for their good cause respect to the american soldiers the british,german,japanese,soviet
It was a great movie. Just saw. It brought tears to my eyes. It is really a profound anti-war war film, showing that the Japanese had both fascists and truly good human beings in their ranks (as all armies do). The Japanese war of imperialism was so utterly pointless and tragic, so unnecessary. This film shows that, but also that the men who gave their lives for the Emperor and nation were incredibly brave, even though they knew it was pointless. It is one of the great war films of all time.
Two atomic bomb ? But most of japan cities was carpet bombed just like the german ones. The two nuke dropped did far less harm than what the incendiary bombs did in the Tokyo Fire Raids and in other cities.
You americans like to think only on that two big bomb, and forget the thousands of tons of other you used on Japan, on Germany, and even in my country Hungary.
You blame soviets they raped germans, but you did it too to japanese girls. Your movies about your war heroes make me vomit.
I never watched a movie like this one before in my life, a movie that shows good and evil on both sides in the conflict, a movie that tells the truth, a movie thats historaclly accurate and more...
In one sentense, and perfect movie from an epic director.
I love the beginning of this movie. The music and seeing the real Iwo Jima. You see the sheer hell that both the Marines and Japanese went through.You can see why the Marines who survived sayed they looked older after the battle was over compaired to today.
@Eazy998 The hell does that have to do with this? You come here to write that you and a Japanese woman did it. Is your brain really THAT stupid to only make the general connection that the fact that she was japanese and the fact that 70 years ago, americans and japanese shot at each other? No, if you were that stupid, how the hell did you make a youtube account? Maybe you just borrowed someone else's. It probably took you an hour to write this, didn't it? This was WAR, not some Japanese whore.
Alright. The Japanese and American opinions on who started the war will always be different. Honestly, the Japanese started the war. They wanted territorial expansion. The Japanese were a little over zealous, as they conquered a lot of other countries, with not much reason. The Americans however attacked the Japanese, and put the Japanese on the defense. The Americans and Japanese were both brutal, as this was a time period best to be forgotten for all its loss of humanity it brought people to.
other than what the fukin japs did in nanjing and subcontinet... and to surrendered soldiers... they were fierce in war... this movie reminds me of the sacrifice our soldiers gave in 1965 against india ammo starved when india waged a war at night without any announcement like cowards.our frontline soldiers strapped bombs on their bodies n fuked indian armours and just 60 soldiers who fought hundreds of indians troops for 14 hours not many survived before reinforcements came
I think the japanese deserves respect for their efforts during the 2 world war.¨'
Their morale were always on top, they fought to last man to protect their country.
They rather died then becoming POW's .
Though people said they were brutal, I dont think you would be so pleasant to a soldier who invaded YOUR country. Although they mercieless killed surrendering soldiers, they did only follow orders, dedicated by the will to repell the invaders
@SuicideSilenceLIFTED What the fuck are you talking about? Are you retarded or did you honestly not go to school? They were brutal. And their country was not invaded. They actually started the war in the Pacific, dipshit. Read a book. They were repelling the "invaders" after they attacked us. Pearl Harbor... ring a bell scoot? And they were the ones invading everything. They even invaded China. Read a book, it'll do wonders for an ignorant brain.
@SuicideSilenceLIFTED It seems as though you are an unfortunate product of a corrupt Liberal educational curriculum. No one persuaded or levied Japan into attacking Pearl. They did so because we cut off oil trade with them. The US decided to put sanctions on all goods to Japan. The US was not going to help fund the Japanese slaughter the Chinese like cattle. The Japanese attacked because they were attempting to acquire oil, to fund their War in China and soon to be Australia.
@StonewallJackson26 I couldn't really formulate myself in the way i wanted due to limited use of letters.
Wouldn't you be pissed if the country who sold you oil suddenly stopped? The japs couldn't get thier own oils and they could neither get it from Russia due to previous conflicts. They thought the US betrayed them but USA only handled that way due to a japanese invasion of China.
Im not justifying the japanese massacres of China but they attacked due to their collaborations with the allies
@StonewallJackson26 Why whould any country help each other, in the manner you are speaking of, it is partly implieing that We as Amercians have a clean slate, its bullshit, World war II was not the only sad thing to happen in history, as long as their are humans, their will be war, their will be murder, and their will be mistakes. think about the Romans, they were terribal to many cultures, they commited genocide, but if it weren't for the Romans, most of the world would have never developed.
"Although they mercieless killed surrendering soldiers, they did only follow orders"
They did not just follow orders when they executed captured soldiers or civilians. They thought they were the f-ing masters of the world, part of a superior race and the likes.
Besides, fighting off an invader doesn't involve mass murdering. Bataan, unit 731, Nankin, river Kwai, etc. wasn't necessary.
Just take for exampel the Laha Massacre were 300 surrendering Australian soldiers were massexecuted. That was from an order from the superior commanders them self, to exterminate alle resistence on the island.
I've never justified that the masskilling and rapes were necessary, It was only orders.
Letters from Iwo Jima shows that war is no joke, and certaintly not what typical movies or video games. Also it shows that people who fought for Japan during World War II had hearts too, and proves all those who think that the Japanese were the only ones who were brutal. This song just makes you think...
@SoundReject You honestly could not have understood what I said less. I said that the Japanese were as brutal as we were during the war, only slightly more because at the time, we were abiding by the Geneva Convention, preventing us from being as brutal as them.
I know more about World War II in one finger than you do as a whole.
Everyone likes to think they're not the bad guys. Who's to say which is wrong and which is right? You all say that the Japanese were evil killers. The hell? Americans soldiers or Japanese soldiers. They're all poor bastards told to survive or die. It makes men go to the extreme. All of them were poor bastards staring death in the face. The real enemy is not the gun, but the ones who pull the trigger. In other words, not the soldier, the politician.
I remember my cousin that is in the military and i remember the day he listens to this track.... he broke down.. Love you sean with all my heart... R.I.P
I remember my cousin that is in the military and i remember the day he listens to this track.... he broke down.. Love youy sean with all my heart... R.I.P
man i thought the soundtrack to this movie was lame. their was literally only one soundtrack to the whole entire movie that played over and over again.
I found this video that uses this music perfectly. Its about Iraq I think but it is beautiful. Its called "Remembrance New Version" check it out. thanks for posting
@IMASIAN09 even if you are japanese.. you have to admit germany/japan were the bad side... i understand what youre saying, but your ideals were not right at those times.
i dont care what other´s said about japaneese folks to be evil during WWII they where only following orders so i cant say they where stupid adn cold bloded
@Cmdrscott1701 I agree. This music makes me feel the end of hope, the end of all. Quite depressive but resigned. The dusk of the Empire of the Rising Sun...
@MrWWIIACE yes it is. one of the most beutifully created movies. there was a saying that say you can tell if someone is doing it with their heart, and this movie is obviously all of eastwood's heart.
@MrWWIIACE Dude, no just no. i mean they're both GREAT movies, but SPR just had a better story plot. and it would really be hard to compare two movies if one movie takes place in Japan and the other takes place in Europe.
@MrWWIIACE Mua, the movie saving private ryan was a really nice movie but it has some serious retard in it..the guy that get his friends killed by just watching and doing nothing. I was really angry when i saw that. But yeh, i think this one is slightly better than SPR (soz for zeh english :P)
@REZtastic Saving Private Ryan was too hollywood, atleast compared to Letters from Iwo Jima. The empathy, emotion and authenticity of the actors makes this movie a true masterpiece.
"All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers ... Each one owes infinitely more to the human race than to the particular country in which he was born." -- François de Salignac de la Mothe Fenelon
I dont understand why people keep bringing up the atom bomb. It was a necessary action to win the war in the swiftest way for the United States. Bet you people did not know there was still 1 million Japanese soldiers in Japan. EVEN AFTER we dropped the two bombs Japans war council still split 3-3, the deciding vote was buy emperor Hirohito after the Russians had already almost reached Japan from the north and was moving through the Asian countries. Projected Us Gi Kia for invasion of Japan :1mil
@battlefieldhero22 I just realised how stupid my comment sounded, and I do respect them. But what I meant was that we didn't even live at the same time as those people, and we couldn't affect any of what has happened.
Both sides committed atrocities. There were no good soldiers or bad soldiers. Only soldiers with orders from power hungry leaders. "When the power of love over comes the love of power then the world will be fine" - Jimi Hendrix
no one likes war but it has to happen. i personally think instead of being anti war and wasting your time hoping for somthing that will never happen on this world, you should try to make it easier. writle letters, pray for the soldiers and leaders to do the right thing, and pray that it ends soon with a gud outcome. i respect all soldiers who answere the call and fight for freedom. im sure youve heard it a hundred times before but freedom is not free.
I have watched 'Letters From Iwo Jima' many times and I must say that this is one of my favorite Clint Eastwood films. Although I know what kind of atrocities the Japanese perpetrated against the Chinese and many other nations and peoples, I also know that no attempt was made to glorify the Japanese soldiers or present them in an overly idealised (or villified) way in the movie. And I wish more people would watch it after listening to the beautiful music from the soundtrack..
i still dont get it the japanese cut are dicks of and shoved them in are mouths in ww2 but when we druped a nukes on them they said that was bad ................???? but still bouth sides did bad
honostly i feel like everyone that comments on this video believes that they are standing of for whats right and talking about nanking, internment camps ect..but almost none of you would give a shit about japanese soldiers on iwo jima and would most likely be sommenting on the flags of our fathers sountrack saying how evil the japanese where the hole point of this movie is to show you the perspective of the "enemy" japanese did crazy things just for honor even if that ment killing themselves....
this music makes me think about World War II, it brings back memories, its depressing but makes me happy in a way, like you feel confident after struggling. This movie made me change my perspective about the japanese, they were not cruel, it was their orders they did what they thought was right for their country. Now I know that the Japanese are not savages, they are just like us.
@SuperJuggler123 i a 10 years old i keep on hearing in my head the war isnt going to end beacuse we still have veniswalia and korea i am going to bomb a muslim plane and say before i do it one death can end it all one plane could end it one plane could stop people dying one man will end it all
@seXBOXmods I didn't say that. Read my replay Again. Can a man stop a war by crashing an airplain loaded with bombs on a country? No. He would have killed more civilians than soldiers. The "heroes" you see in games are not real, that's why its called a game. The real war heroes died in WWII.
@seXBOXmods It is pointless discussing this with a 10 year old kid who knows nothing but games, good luck with your life kid it is not to late to change.
@seXBOXmods It is sad to see kids of this generation not being able to control their language. Do your parents speak like that when they talk to strangers?
@SuperJuggler123 Many soldiers in the war are not cruel, some german, japanesse, and other else soldiers are good people just that they have to do the orders gave by their captain...
Thank you Clint Eastwood for being you

They're all poor bastards told to survive or die. It makes men go to the extreme. All of them were poor bastards staring death in the face. The real enemy is not the gun, but the ones who pull the trigger. In other words, not the soldier, the politician.

its really sad to see people as they always do,comparing one thing to another and expecting everybody else to agree with them.
Saving private Ryan was just as good of a movie as this was,both showed the horrors of war in an accurate ,realistic and unbiased way.
Just because it is popular to hate everything western in support of the east ,doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

Never Forget the 111 million people that died in the great war of 1914-1945
but also never forget the many more thousands of lost souls of whom we shall never know there names.

I dont understand why people keep bringing up the atom bomb. It was a necessary action to win the war in the swiftest way for the United States. Bet you people did not know there was still 1 million Japanese soldiers in Japan. EVEN AFTER we dropped the two bombs Japans war council still split 3-3, the deciding vote was buy emperor Hirohito after the Russians had already almost reached Japan from the north and was moving through the Asian countries.

Both sides committed atrocities. There were no good soldiers or bad soldiers. Only soldiers with orders from power hungry leaders. "When the power of love over comes the love of power then the world will be fine" - Jimi Hendrix

no one likes war but it has to happen. i personally think instead of being anti war and wasting your time hoping for somthing that will never happen on this world, you should try to make it easier. writle letters, pray for the soldiers and leaders to do the right thing, and pray that it ends soon with a gud outcome. i respect all soldiers who answere the call and fight for freedom. im sure youve heard it a hundred times before but freedom is not free.

I have watched 'Letters From Iwo Jima' many times and I must say that this is one of my favorite Clint Eastwood films. Although I know what kind of atrocities the Japanese perpetrated against the Chinese and many other nations and peoples, I also know that no attempt was made to glorify the Japanese soldiers or present them in an overly idealised (or villified) way in the movie. And I wish more people would watch it after listening to the beautiful music from the soundtrack..

Japanese attack on pearl harbor = Military target & 2300 deaths
US bombing of Hiroshima&Nagasaki = Civilian target & 240000 deaths AND STIL RISING!
Because of the radiation many people still died long after the war was over. A great example is the story of Sadako Sasaki. Look it up @ wikipedia.

this music makes me think about World War II, it brings back memories, its depressing but makes me happy in a way, like you feel confident after struggling. This movie made me change my perspective about the japanese, they were not cruel, it was their orders they did what they thought was right for their country. Now I know that the Japanese are not savages, they are just like us.
