Review of Sands of Iwo Jima (1950) by Evelyn M — 24 Jul 2007
Really depressing WWII movie that mixes schmaltzy father figure elements with the demonization of the Japanese, portraying them as an amorphous sinister pack of sneaky violent predators. John Wayne perfects his hard-ass cowboy schtick, and there are lots of sub-plots involving the rest of the "ethnic platoon" cliche present in so many war movies.
