So I must see this before Letters from Iwo Jima...


...correct?

reply

No, it doesn´t matter.

reply

not true.
watch this before LFIJ, I watches them in that order and am glad for several reaSOns I did. you'll know why. I hope...

reply

I saw them in that order, but that's only because they were released in that order.

reply

Not really, but its worth doing it. LFIJ is great, and has some tie ins with scenes from this film, but nothing major.

reply

it honestly doesnt matter, i saw letters before flags and it made no difference.. both movies are good but i prefer letters, in my opinion it was deeper because the men on the japanese side knew they were never going to see home again, never going to leave that island, whereas the american boys had every intention of fighting and living to go home one day.. when you know youre going to die, the situation changes drastically

reply

I ended up seeing Flags first and, like you prefered Letters.

Lack of ethnical diversity is not racism. Using common stereotypes isn't racist either.
