Even though the movie was subtitled some things just don’t translate
I saw
It’s Clint Eastwood’s take on the battle of Iwo Jima from the Japanese viewpoint.
It was an excellent movie, but I have to say that it completely failed to help me understand why killing yourself in battle is somehow glorious.
As George C. Scott said in Patton:
Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.
