I dare you Tom Hanks ...


Hey, I'm British and love you guys but I would like to see the way you portray and possibly direct the Japanese point of view of this story in a similar mini series.

Clint Eastwood did it in Letters From Iwo Jima. I don't know how well it would do as a series on American television.

It would bomb. Everyone knows American audiences need their strong-jawed white male leads. But Letters From Iwo Jima was great.

Not really the issue;
it's just that there is no market for `'other person's armies'...that why British Movies are about British soldiers; Finnish movies are about Finnish Soldiers; Russian Movies are about Russian Soldiers etc....

Now on the other hand if you're talking about minority representation in the US Armed forces well....Miracle at St Annas & Red Tails were both Abysmally made movies. Of course the 1950s movie, "Go for Broke" was well made...perhaps that might work.







Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

I think it would be a very good idea.
But not to be left to Hollywood alone.
