Clint Eastwood's next film is supposed to be Iwo Jima from the Japanese perspective. Think he'll be taking the same risks?
"Hey, ya pansy! Can't take a little napalm burn? Sheesh! Get back in the cave!"
I heard there is a Japanese Director on board and Eastwood's role will be "co-director" - correct?
If that is the case, who knows.
If you read the book you'll find out that Bradley's best friend was captured by the Japanese. Knowing they were going to lose they cut off his balls, stuffed them in his mouth, and left him to bleed to death to be later found by Bradley. Is that the perspective of which you were thinking? I hope they put that part in the movie.
Seriesly? I was hoping for something from the European Theater that no one's done an historically accurate movie about...
The Battle of the Bulge, for example...
Titled Letters From Iwo Jima, it's supposed to be in Japanese with English subtitles.
Out of the 22,000 troops they had there, 21,000 were killed. They were told they wouldn't be going home, they were there to die for the emperor ...
If you look at the trailers you'll see they share footage. Also note the voice of a Saving Private Ryan character and actors from Band of Brothers.
