Review of Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) by Asianpeople — 11 Dec 2006
The movie glorfies the Japanese Imperial Army, one of history's greatest evils.
Ask the 1.3 billion Chinese what they think of 'Japanese Valor' - Specifically the 320,000 killed and 30,000 women raped in Nanking (today's Nanjing)...Or the Koreans and their feeling about the annexation of Korea for nearly 100 years. To produce a movie like this regarding Nazi Germany would be unthinkable; but then again, Americans have little thought for non-whites. - they are not really human anyway and their tragedies at the hand of Imperial Japan is acceptable..Hollywood makes a movie about the enemy killing Americans (the enemy's point of view)- Its just like watching CNN International but with more blood and gore.
Maybe the Japanese will find this inetersting; but the rest of Asia who suffered under Japanese atrocities will not - and if we did watch, we'd cheer on every Japanese death.
