Clint Eastwood need to be given credit for making an unthinkable movie like this. It would not have been this much praise worthy had it been a Japanese film because Americans making film about Americans and the same way around with Japanese is just usual, but when an American director makes a film about Japanese people and their efforts at war and the perils of war itself, then it's something rare. As a film, Letters from Iwo Jima is ok, with great visual effects and moving performances, but compared to the rest of the Eastwood films like Mystic River, Gran Torino, A Perfect World etc, it slightly lacks suspense and tension.
