Review of Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) by Teddy V — 14 Jan 2013

This is such a better film than Flags of our Fathers, with a better script, more interesting characters, and a billion times the execution. I know that Eastwood wanted to tell the story from both sides, but this film is actually about the battle not the bullshit politics that should be written down in a history textbook somewhere and shelved for the boring tripe it is.

History is important, but all history a good film does not make...
