2. Summary

   Great 4.0

   Letters from Iwo Jima is the stunning coda to Flags Of Our Fathers, this time from the Japanese side. Amongst other revelations, it shows how poorly served were the Imperial Japanese soldiers, not by their gallant and honorable commander, but by the suicidal tendencies of their martial traditions.

   Director Clint Eastwood made Flags Of Our Fathers before Letters from Iwo Jima, so that’s the ideal order in which to view them.
