Flags Of Our Fathers + Letters From Iwo Jima (DVD) (The Complete Collector's Edition) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

In 2006, renowned actor/director Clint Eastwood presented two critically acclaimed WWII companion films about the Battle of Iwo Jima, approaching the same battlefield from two different perspectives. On the Japanese side, Letters from Iwo Jima recalls the final days of the Japanese soldiers stationed at Iwo Jima through the letters they left behind. On the American side, Flags of Our Fathers follows the soldiers who raised the American flag on Mount Suribachi in the iconic picture that came to symbolize Iwo Jima in the United States. Both films carry strong, starkly human messages about the devastation of war and the heroes that come of them,

Flags of Our Fathers, starring Jesse Bradford, Ryan Phillippe, and Rene Gagnon, jumps back and forth between the battlefield and the soldiers' no less taxing post-war experience when they are welcomed home as heroes, and then reluctantly paraded around the country on a government public relations campaign. While Flags of Our Fathers covers the cynical politics and psychological aftermath of war, Letters from Iwo Jima, starring Watanabe Ken and Ninomiya Kazunari of Arashi, returns to more humanistic roots, focusing squarely on the individuals who gave their lives on the island.

提名金球奬最佳導演

影片根據二次大戰真人事蹟改編。一九四五年二月，二次大戰歐洲戰線接近尾聲，但在太平洋上的戰爭依然血腥慘烈。而最轟動及決定性一役，發生在硫磺島上。命運安排五名海軍及一名看護兵在硫磺島折缽山(Suribachi)上共同舉起美國軍旗，並被一位戰地記者永遠記錄在一幀照片上。這張隨手拍下的照片傳回美國後，不單令六名美軍頓時成為舉國上下的英雄，亦扭轉了美國人對太平洋戰事悲觀的看法。這張照片早成為戰時美國英雄的象徵，是二戰時最令人難忘的畫面之一。

照片不經意塑造的英雄形象，改變了六名升旗者的一生。當中三人於數天後戰死，三名生還的士兵日後返回美國。他們當天只是順手協助戰友升旗，實是微不足道，相比之下，在戰場上壯烈犧牲的士兵卻得不到應有的光榮，生還者就背負着這份罪惡感度過餘生。

It is the most indelible image of the Pacific War - a moment in time caught on film of five Marines and one Navy Corpsman raising the U.S. flag on Mount Suribachi mere days into the vicious battle for the Japanese garrison of Iwo Jima, a desolate island of black sand beaches and sulfurous caves.

For the men caught in the photo, raising the flag is one small formality in the midst of a grueling battle; but to those back home, the image of these men wordlessly working together to prevail against devastating odds instantly reshapes the notion of a hero. It captivates an American public hungry for hope and weary of a seeming war without end. It gives mothers a reason to believe their sons will come back alive, and meaning to those grieving for sons who won't come back at all.

榮獲金球獎最佳外語片 及 奧斯卡4項提名包括最佳電影

被派駐硫磺島的日本軍人，都知道他們不會再有機會回家。他們當中包括一等兵西鄉昇（二宮和也 飾），一位只想看看新生女兒容貌的麵包師傅；西竹一中佐（伊原剛志 飾），一位世界知名的奧運馬術冠軍；上等兵清水洋一（加瀨亮 飾），一位曾任職軍事警察的年青理想主義者；還有伊藤大尉（中村獅童 飾），一位寧可切腹自盡也誓死不肯投降的嚴肅軍人。

在當地指揮駐守日軍大局的長官，就是栗林忠道陸軍中將（渡邊謙 飾）。曾在美國留學的他，深知這場戰爭肯定沒有機會獲勝，不過親身在西方生活的經歷，令他能對即將入侵硫磺島的美軍作出更堅固的防衛佈署。

美軍原本以為可以迅速攻克硫磺島，不過因為栗林中將和日軍寧死不降的戰意，令這戰役變成一場長達四十天的血腥拉鋸戰。差不多七千名美軍在硫磺島陣亡，日軍方面則有超過二萬名士兵喪命。在硫磺島漆黑的土壤上，染滿了無數死傷者的鮮血；散落在那裡的封封家書，記載了士兵們深刻動人的情懷。

The Japanese soldiers are sent to Iwo Jima knowing that in all probability they will not come back. Among them are Saigo (Kazunari Ninomiya), a baker who wants only to live to see the face of his newborn daughter; Baron Nishi (Tsuyoshi Ihara), an Olympic equestrian champion known around the world for his skill and his honor; Shimizu (Ryo Kase), a young former military policeman whose idealism has not yet been tested by war; and Lieutenant Ito (Shidou Nakamura), a strict military man who would rather accept suicide than surrender.

Leading the defense is Lt. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe), whose travels in America have revealed to him the hopeless nature of the war but also given him strategic insight into how to take on the vast American armada streaming in from across the Pacific.

With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of the island itself, Gen. Kuribayashi's unprecedented tactics transform what was predicted to be a quick and bloody defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic and resourceful combat.

Almost 7,000 American soldiers were killed on Iwo Jima; more than 20,000 Japanese troops perished. The black sands of Iwo Jima are stained with their blood, but their sacrifices, their struggles, their courage and their compassion live on in the letters they sent home.
