Letters from Iwo Jima movie!

[G.T.]

Hi Ed, I'm sure it is an excellent movie, and I'm really anxious to see it! ... It didn't get much critical acclaim though... I think there is still a bit of overlap on US war movies. Hard to beat "Saving Private Ryan" and I really liked "The Thin Red Line" although that didn't get much notice either.. The "Letters from Iwo Jima" movie already won a Golden Globe, and was nominated in another category or two? I hope both Clints films do well at the Oscars ... Most of the recent above mentioned films have had a profound effect on my ideas of what was sacrificed, and how payment is exacted for freedom... not just ours, but everyone who claims to be free.. I think the film, "The Longest Day" started me off as a history buff, the film "Platoon" was a ground breaker as in realism and the shock effect on ones ideas of war... Handed down war stories, films, books & history, are what we have to learn with when we haven't been there ourselves... best to all, til....lat'r....GT
