La película muestra la batalla desde la perspectiva japonesa. '''Letters from Iwo Jima''' (''Cartas desde Iwo Jima'') nos cuenta la desconocida historia de los soldados japoneses que defendieron su patria contra la invasión de las fuerzas americanas durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Sin más defensa que la pura voluntad y las rocas volcánicas de la propia isla, el General Tadamichi Kuribayashi y sus hombres, elaboraron una estrategia defensiva sin precedentes, basada en la construcción de una fortaleza subterránea compuesta por un laberinto de túneles escavados a través de la roca negra volcánica de Iwo Jima. Esta táctica transformó lo que se preveía como una derrota rápida y sangrienta, en una batalla histórica que se prolongaría durante casi 40 días de combate heroico e ingenioso. Las arenas negras de Iwo Jima se tiñeron de sangre pero sus sacrificios, sus esfuerzos, su coraje y compasión, perviven en esta emocionate película descrita como "única e inolvidable".

Reseñas
There are no romance, no cuteness, no funny moments to draw a breath. There are no gorgeous sceneries to admire, or beautiful faces to ogle.
This movie is a punch directed at your very stomach. And yet it's so full of heart and intensity it left an indelible trace in my memory.
It's the story of a handful of Japanese soldiers left on guard of the rocky, desolate, deserted but of outmost strategic importance island of Iwo Jima. They are basically left to rotten there and eventually being slaughtered, if not by the Americans, by the obtuseness of high rank Japanese officials.
It's based on a true story, so I have no fear to spoil the plot. Many of you may already know of Iwo Jima, if only for the über-famous picture of the American soldiers planting the stars and stripe flag on a little mountain of dirt. This movie tells the same story, but from the other side of the barricade, in the literal sense of the word.
Western films tend to depict Japanese soldiers during WWII like war machines, ready to die for their country no matter what, cold and determined. Here we see the human side of them, the ultimate meaning of the film being the universality of fear, loneliness, anguish and friendship.
Outstanding acting performances by all the cast, entirely Japanese and terrific direction by acclaimed Clint Eastwood.
This is the kind of film one re-watches sooner or later. A film-library movie. You have been warned as to its content, so I recommend it with a clear conscience.

To my surprise when I started it Ninomiya's face appeared. Same with Ken Watanabe. (didn't look up the cast, just watched it on netflix lol) Ninomiya is a great actor and meshed well with Ken, who is just one of thee best Japanese actors I know. The supporting cast was also great.
The movie mainly shows the Japanese side of WWll for the battle of Iwo Jima. it also showed the horror of the battle but also some good which is weird to say for a war movie. to some people it can be a little..glory but i didn't think it was too bad.
the reason why I rated music so high is because i absolutely loved the instrumental music that was used for this movie. It puts you into a bittersweet mood.
Obviously this movie isn't for everyone, since I know a lot of people could care less about history, but people should give this movie a try.
