Two of John Wayne’s films, Know Eastwood, the best war that follows the same battle

The Battle of Iwo Jima, which fought from February 19 to March 26, 1945, was a major battle for the Second World War. The Japanese army had two fortified warehouses there, which the American army was aiming to capture. The losses were heavy on both sides, as Americans have more losses than Japanese. Ultimately, Iowo Jimma, and many Americans, were captured with the image (picked up by a journalist called Joe Rosental) from American soldiers who raised a flag at the Mount Suribachi summit. The image was used as a model by the sculptor De Weldon to design a statue used in the MARINE Corps War Memorial Monument in the Arlington National Cemetery.

A battle that the historians of war remember well, and it is widely studied in the chapters of history. Iwo Jima was also a popular theme for the film director, and many features have been dedicated to the war effort. Perhaps the most famous, Clint Eastwood made a pair of Iwo Jima films in 2006, both of whom were released in the same year, both of them narrate from the different army point of view. “Flags of our Parents” was released on October 20, and the battle was detailed from the American perspective, While “messages from Iwo Jima” He was released on December 20, and the Perspective of the Japanese Army was held. The latter was nominated for four Academy Awards, including the best image and best director.

Of course, Hollywood was adapting to the battle with the movie early in 1949. This was the year when “The Sands of Iwo Jima” was released from Alan Duan. In this film, John Wayne played the role of a general in the Niles army who trained a group of American soldiers before the battle. The “sand” was the first time and where, Hollywood icon and a notorious racist openingHe was nominated for the Academy Award.

Like many films of World War II of “The 1940s and Fifments”, “Sands of Iwo Jima” is a Up-Wath-MARICA advertisement, and clearly intends to the greatness of the US military. The film was characterized by three realistic military individuals-Renneh Ghania, Era Hayes, and John Bradley-who were present to raise the flag on Mount Suribache. By the way, the son of Bradley, James Bradley, will continue to write the book “Flags of Our Parents”, in which Eastwood will be 2006.

The other survivors of Iwo Jima, including Henry Crowe, Harrold, evil, and David M. Shop. However, John Wayne’s character was a fantastic structure, as well as the other soldiers such as John Ajar, Forest Taker and Richard Jackel. Enjoyable trivial: Wayne, Ajar, Takir, and all of them did not reunite them 1970 Western “Christum”.

It is interesting to watch “Sands of Iwo Jima” and “Flags of Our Parents”, where one can see a changing historical perspective in the same battle. “Sands” is a movie about the heroism and bold actions that the army felt needed to take the war times (even if the actual tactical value of Iwo Jima has been discussed long ago). “Our Parents’ flag” is more sad, and it is a story between generations for the heroes who have died long ago, and their calcification in the sterile pages of history.

The above three films are barely greeting the only Iwo Jima in Hollywood’s history. 2010 miniseries HBO “Pacific Ocean” The battle events were covered in the eighth episode. The documentary in 1945 acquired the shores of Iwo Jima on real shots of actual American soldiers in this position, although the battle sequence was re -created in southern California.

Hollywood may return to the IWo Jima battle again, but between Eastwood and DWAN, we are well covered at the present time.
