If you loved Heartbreak Ridge, try Letters from Iwo Jima
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Clint Eastwood, and they sit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to Heartbreak Ridge, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Letters from Iwo Jima is
Iwo Jima, winter, a cave radio crackles. Japanese soldiers huddle, a flag still waves, the invasion begins. Eastwood lensed the other side.
