Letters From Iwo Jima
A somber and often delicate (even amongst the explosions and carnage) musing on the horrors of war. A terrifying picture of dignity and honor in the face of certain death. I just wish the colors weren't so dialed-down - just like in the film's counter-part Flags of Our Fathers...I find it distancing, but that's probably just me.
Very good film, but not so much of a "good time"
8/10
