It will be most interesting to see what Spielberg does with his developing movie on the Battle of Iwo Jima. The Marines fought an enemy that through the code of Bushido was prepared to die in battle, trying to take 10 Americans for every one of him, and did so to the last man. Will he truthfully portray the USMC under those conditions, or will he bastardize them in revisionist propaganda? Desecration of the efforts and hideous sacrifices of the USMC on Iwo Jima by Spielberg will truly demonstrate that hollywood hates America.
Well, I have hope. For such an extraordinary liberal, he did give us "Saving Private Ryan", second in quality only to "Band of Brothers". Plus, I know all Spielberg's movies are formulaic, but...I like the formula! I like Jaws, Close Encounters, etc.etc.
