Letters from Iwo Jima
So just now I went to the VCD/DVD rental shop and happened to chance upon this excellent movie that I have been wanting to watch since a long time ago, but I keep procrastinating and so finally now I got to watch it! Hahaz.
For those who want a summary of the movie, can refer to below link:

I don't know why izzit that I just get so emotional while watching this movie.. And I really respect that 20 000 odd Japanese soldiers that defended Iwo Jima even though they knew right from the beginning that they r fighting a "sure lose" battle and WITHOUT the support of the HQ in Tokyo which is so #$%^&*, can u imagine how desperate u will feel? Trapped in an ISOLATED island without much resources left and so much diseases spreading around then still must fight war. OMG lar, so sucks.
But as I watched the movie from sumwhere the middle until the end, whereby the Japanese commanders together with the men chose to COMMIT SUICIDE either by using the hand grenade to blow themselves up OR to use their own rifle to shoot themselves etc, rather then to surrender to enemies. Wah kaoz, really lorz, I think in the World only the Japanese will have such high loyalty and patriotism to their country and their Emperor. And towards the end when the General was badly injured and later he shot himself, the first class private soldier still like defended his corpse trying to KILL those American soldiers with his shovel even though he was like he was surrounded by 10+++ american soldiers pointing their rifles at him.
Okay lar, some may debate that this is juz a movie, so maybe abit "exagerrating", but then arz, the overall battle as well as several of the commanders are based upon actual people and events.
Then as I saw so many of the Japanese National and Military flag (the one at the right side of my blog) being hanged throughout the place, I just feel like GOING to Japan lorz. I think I mad liaoz. Even my family ppl think perhaps my previous life I was a Japanese. -_-'''
Haiz. How I wish indeed I am a Japanese citizen.
