I read the book and saw the movie. Both were excellent.

Being the son of a combat vet, I understood where Bradley's son was coming from in alot of ways.

Eastwood did a movie right after this one from the Japanese point of view. It was called Letters From Iwo Jima. You see it?

The Japanese actor stole the show. Pop star with real talent. I like his face, a gifted actor like Motoki.
