i had the chance of viewing the company of heros commercial (which looks great) but i did get the preview of clint eastwoods new movie coming out on IWO JIMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and it looks to be saving private ryanesk.

although ive had my favorite movies for the pacific theatre,none in my opinion have aver effected me as SPRYAN.i have read countless books since i was a young teen and the first time i saw SPRYAN it totally blew me away for the first 10 min,because i had seen first hand what it was like and always wondered.the movie the thin red line tried to do this but failed.

iwo jima i believe was the bloodiest battle of ww2 (could be wrong) and used battleships ,air combat arty,tanks and infantry along with a beach head same as in france.i believe CLINT will bring this one home! weve talked about war movies before and spryan and bob were the favorites of most and should be as theyre the most detailed ww2 movies ive seen!

Woa, I had no idea about this movie. Like pez I also read the book and highly recommend it. The author, James Bradley, is the son of one of the Iwo flag raisers. He also has another book out that i've heard is good called Flyboys. Hes a pretty good author and puts in a lot of research to dispell myths and get down to the truth of what happened.
