	MOVIE REVIEW_Sands of Iwo Jima
		Focusing on Stryker's recruits long before Iwo Jima, the film's feature battle is actually on Tarawa, with Iwo Jima's skirmish seemingly an afterthought in the last few minutes of film.
		Stock footage from Tarawa and Iwo Jima is jarringly intercut with Dwan's footage, and those studio sets that used to suffice for outdoor locations (with more than two shadows giving away the gag every time) just don't cut it in today's greenscreened and special-effected universe.
		Sands - replete with conceptual, military and factual flaws - was as "true" as you were going to get in those days when bigotry was not only politically correct, but encouraged like a national pastime.

	Sadness on the sands of Iwo Jima -- OrlandoSentinel.com
		Iwo Jima was the bloodiest, most arduous contest, according to Kakehashi, in the history of the U.S. Marines.
		Kuribayashi, who could have directed the battle from the safety of a nearby island, instead shared all the hardships he demanded of his men, and he died in combat near the end of the battle.
		It reads in part, "Unable to complete this heavy task for our country/ Arrows and bullets all spent, so sad we fall." A maverick to the end, Kuribayashi parted from tradition by acknowledging the sadness of soldiers, no matter how devoted to duty, when they know they are doomed.

	Letters from iwo jima
		The fl sands of Iwo Jima are stained with their blood, but their sacrifices, their struggles, their courage and their compassion live on in the letters they sent home.
		With this unprecedented dual film project, shot back-to-back to be released in sequence, Eastwood seeks to reveal the battle of Iwo Jima – and, by implication, the war in the Pacific – as a clash not only of arms but of cultures.
		While they tell separate stories from different perspectives and in different languages, “Letters From Iwo Jima” and “Flags of Our Fathers” are Eastwood’s tribute to those who lost lives on both sides of the conflict.

	The Sands of Iwo Jima
		Iwo Jima 1945 : The Marines Raise the Flag
		The Sands of Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal Diary, Wake Island and Bataan are four films that jump to mind that represent this era in War Film history for me. Certainly the movies of the 60s like The Bridge on the River Kwai (a 1957 film) though gritty, were more artsy.
		In fact, they were but slight exaggerations of the men in my neighborhood, men who may very well have been to those heady places, and lived a very inglorious version of these depictions.

	IGN: The Sands of Iwo Jima Review
		The real story behind Sands of Iwo Jima doesn't necessarily have as much to do with the whole squad as it does with Sgt. John Stryker, played by John Wayne, and PFC Peter Conway, played by Wayne's friend, John Agar.
		The movie's populated by other, less memorable characters, like the two brothers who are constantly fighting, or the boxer whose cowardly indiscretion haunts him until Wayne beats a little courage into him.
		For the most part, these extra characters are dwarfed by Wayne and the awesome battle sequences of Tarawa and Iwo Jima.
