Changes

I've been thinking about putting letters from Iwo Jima on one of these lists. If you truly understand it, it is a film that, while it paints the rank-and-file Japanese field soldier in a sympathetic light, it depicts the higher Japanese leadership in a negative light. For instance, it depicts Japan's "Kenpeitai" (the Japanese equivalent of the Russian Commissars) in a very negative light. The impression given by the movie is that young Japanese men are being drafted against their will to fight in a war that they don't understand. With all of the anti-war films that Hollywood makes, I think this one is different in that it shows the terrible battlefield conditions faced by the country that actually really started the war in the first place.
