Letters from Iwo Jima

Time Magazine's Richard Schickel names Letters of Iwo Jima as the best among the Top Ten Movies of 2006 . He writes: This is perhaps the most daring creative act of the movie year, if not of this still-young century: An American director (Clint Eastwood) makes a film almost entirely in a foreign language...

Re: Letters from Iwo Jima

from their point of view then directed by an american? this is going to be interesting. but if this is based on a true story then i think this will be one-sided. who's the hero and who's the enemy? i wanna watch this.

Re: Battle Royale & Battle Royale 2

Nope, you didn't miss anything. It's just that despite all the gore, some people just found something *unique* in the BR movies. Unlike us. But I have to agree, it was well made. I even enjoyed the sequel. I'll try to compare this with the book if I can get one *hint, hint*

Have I missed something in BR? Many people like it but I think I am not in the same like-level as them. They sounded so excited. But when I watched it, it was too violent. I guess the plot has made it popular though. Japanese stories are so unique that Hollywood is making their own versions.
