No, guessing beyond any shadow of a doubt. :rolleyes:

Not to mention using your blind guess as a basis for trotting out your bias/animosity as well.

You can take the Zulu7 out of the name but you can't take the Zulu7 out of the man.

Check out This Link (http://www.the-pacific-war.com/phpBB2/index.php) . It's based on the book "Magnum: The Pacific War".

From the NYT,

"Mr. Haggis and Mr. Eastwood are also collaborating on an ambitious idea to simultaneously produce a second Iwo Jima film. An unknown writer, Iris Yama****a, has been hired to write the script with Mr. Haggis for a movie that would be told from the Japanese point of view and shot in Japanese side by side with "Flags of Our Fathers."

Damn but I think it's an amazing idea. On of the best WW2 movies had a similar idea, what with the duel-national production staff for "Tora, Tora, Tora". I thought it was extremely even handed.

If this happens, it will make for two "must see" movies for me.

Post by: rpm on April 06, 2005, 12:57:51 PM: That sounds VERY interesting. I like movies that show a different battlefield POV. Das Boot, The Enemy Below and Tora, Tora, Tora are great examples.

Zulu, I thought I explained this to ya once , but here goes again.
If you bury dog crap very shallowly, it will still stink. It will also just be dog crap with dirt on it.

Post by: Casca on April 07, 2005, 12:48:34 AM: It is based on the book "Flags of our Fathers" by James Bradley. HIs father was one of the individuals in the famous Rosenthal photo at Iwo Jima. Hardly a jingoistic screed.

His subsequent book "Flyboys" is also a good read.
