"Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" are two companion movies directed by Clint Eastwood that tells about the battle of Iwo Jima during the pacific campaign in WWII. "Flags of Our Fathers" shows the American perspective of the battle while "Letters from Iwo Jima" shows the Japanese perspective of the battle. – Film Reviewer

Film Reviewer : I personally like "Letters from Iwo Jima" significantly more than "Flags of Our Fathers." I was born and raised in the US and I am proud to be an American, but the movie with the Japanese perspective was better and more deep. I was getting bored with "Flags of Our Fathers".

In February and March of 1945, U.S. troops fight and win one of the most crucial and costly battles of the war on the island of Iwo Jima. A photo of U.S. servicemen raising the flag on Mount Suribachi becomes an iconic symbol of victory to a war-weary nation. The individuals themselves become heroes, though not all survive the war and realize it.
