Hell in the Pacific (1968). American film hero Lee Marvin and Japanese film hero Toshiro Mifune battle it out in this flick whose premise consists of two soldiers, one American and one Japanese, that are stranded together on a deserted isle during World War II. The rare dialogue, sans subtitles, helps the viewer to feel the frustration between these sworn enemies. Some of the scenes, shot in the Rock Islands of Palau, was georgeously splendid. This movie is a great example of how men deal with propaganda generated hatred whilst being face to face, literally, with their "enemy." Ashe.
