The story of the Battle of Iwo Jima told through the eyes of Japanese soldiers.

In 2005, Japanese archaeologists explore the tunnels of Iwo Jima, a Pacific island where one of the bloodiest battles of World War II was fought. Underground, the team finds something buried in the ground and begins to reconstruct the island's past from that discovery. The excavation brings them face to face with a place that still holds the memory of the soldiers who defended it. Clint Eastwood directs the film, shot almost entirely in Japanese, and Ken Watanabe and Kazunari Ninomiya lead the cast. The movie takes the Japanese perspective, and the story unfolds through the island's underground tunnels.

Trivia about Letters from Iwo Jima

Although the story takes place in Japan, the film was shot mainly in Barstow and Bakersfield, California.

To shoot on Iwo Jima, the filmmakers needed a special permit from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, because the remains of more than 10,000 missing Japanese soldiers still lie there.

Charles W. Lindberg, played by Alessandro Mastrobuono, is the only character who appears in both Flags of Our Fathers and Letters from Iwo Jima.

Despite good reviews, the movie made only US$13.7 million at the box office in the United States.

It was far more successful at the box office in Japan than in the United States and held the No. 1 spot for five weeks.

The role of Saigo was played by Kazunari Ninomiya, then known in Japan as a member of the pop group Arashi, before he built his film career.

The film won the Oscar for Best Sound Editing and received nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay; it was also named Film of the Year by the National Board of Review.

Clint Eastwood directed and co-produced the film, while Steven Spielberg served as producer; the production was handled by DreamWorks Pictures, Malpaso Productions, and Amblin Entertainment.

Quotes by Letters from Iwo Jima

[When the Allied forces fire on him] Why are you always messing with me. It's got to be a joke! [An Allied shell lands right next to him, knocking him over. He sees the shell is a dud] Thank you, God! I take back what I said!
Do what is right because it is right.
[to Nishi before he commits suicide] It has been a great honor to serve under you.
I have failed to hold Suribachi. Permit me to die with my men!
It was your duty, hold your position until death, you should have died with your fellow troop members. You are a disgrace.
[reading letter] From headquarters. We regret that we are unable to send reinforcements to Iwo at this time. We earnestly hope you will fight honorably and die for your country.
