Clint Eastwood Makes a Huge Anti-War Statement With 'Iwo Jima'

[Swede]

This is from Fox,but it is a positive review.

Clint Eastwood’s new movie, his second release of the fall, is called "Letters From Iwo Jima." It’s a masterpiece — no kidding — considering that it’s over two hours long, filmed in black and white and spoken almost entirely in Japanese by a nearly all-Japanese cast.

More importantly, "Letters From Iwo Jima" is the biggest, most propulsive anti-war statement to come out of mainstream Hollywood in years. It’s even more sharply pointed because it comes from Eastwood, long a Reagan Republican and probably considered by most Americans to fall to the right in contemporary politics.

But Eastwood has done something nothing short of amazing with "Iwo Jima." He’s made the flip side of his own movie, "Flags of Our Fathers," which was about the American soldiers who planted the Stars and Stripes on Mount Suribachi when they’d won their battle in 1945.
