Wow! I just came back from watching Letters From Iwo Jima with my parents. I can assure you one thing; It is the most meaningful World War II movie. You know usually most WWII movies come from the american point of view? This movie however comes from the Jap's point of view.
Summarised details of the movie:
The movie tells the story of a Japanese soldier, Kazunari Ninomiya acting as Saigo. He was a baker together with his wife, who before the war was pragnent. And when the war came, Saigo was posted to help defend Iwo Jima, an island near southern Japan. As it was so close to Japan, the americans would easily make use of the island for their advantage to stop Japan. (Sorry if this reminds you of your past history lessons. Haha.)
The movie goes on, showing the arrival of a smart general, Ken Watanabe acting as General Tadamichi Kuribayashi who has a lot of battlefield tactics and strategies, which the other japanese officers think its american sympathism, because Kuribayashi lived in America a couple
of years before the war.
I shan't spoil the movie by telling you everthing, go watch it for yourself. It is a great movie i assure you. I rate it 4/5. Battle scenes were awesome. Great graphics and great sound.
However there is one part that is disgusting. (For those who are scared of blood and gore, you better close your eyes during this part of the movie.)
There is one part of the movie where an officer gives a unnessasary command for his troop to kill themselves. And how do they kill themselves? They whip out a grenade, pull the pin, knock the armed grenade against their helmet, put it against their chest, shout (in jap) "For the Empire!", and await their death. When the grenade explodes, it is just horrifying. Blood and body parts fly. If they didn't show that, then they will show the remains of their body on the floor. Just DISGUSTING!! ZOMGWTFHBBQPWNAGENOOB!!
Haha alright, thats all I will talk about the movie, and maybe for this post too. xD
See you!!

I am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone
Stay with me, this is what I need, please?
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard the sound, the sound of my only hope
This time I will be listening.
Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
(My heart, it beats for you)
This heart, it beats, beats for only you (It beats, beats for only you)
My heart is yours (My heart is yours)
This heart, it beats, beats for only you (Please don't go now, please don't fade away)
My heart, my heart is yours (Please don't go now, please don't fade away)
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is yours
(Please don't go, please don't fade away)
(Please don't go now, please don't fade away) My heart is...
