Im prolly gonna go Friday afternoon to see this movie...I read the book two years ago, and I was enthralled when I heard about the movie!  You heard correct!  The movie is called "Letters from Iwo Jima"- The story of the battle of Iwo Jima between the United States and Imperial Japan during World War II, as told from the perspective of the Japanese who fought it.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Taking my 10 year old son to it. He's a WW2 fanatic (gee, wonder where he got that from...) and he's seen Saving Private Ryan, so blood and gore aside, he'll get a look inside the historical side (albeit hollyweird version) of Iwo Jima.

Hehe, they did a lot of it here. I was in it :D
Even found a scene I was in on the trailer. Guys diving into a trench under heavy fire, one rolls over his head into the trench. That is either me or the guy in front, - we shot this 3 or 4 times if I recall right. I saw this done, so I copied it in the scene.
I'm drooling for that film, I tell ya ;)

I have a feeling that this movie will be as good as (or better) 1998 Saving Ryan

A friend of mine (same "platoon") was looking over Eastwood's shoulders when he was viewing some part of the combat scenes that had been put together from the footage. (It's both film and electonic I belive). He said it was absolutely awesome awesome and ,,,, AWESOME.
