"A couple of other problems: many, many Americans died on the island but we get very little actual killing of Americans by Japanese."Not having seen the film, I can only speculate that the reason for this was because of Eastwood's intent was to view the events through the eyes of the Japanese. Certainly brave, even at this point in time. The Japanese version of events on Iwo Jima would likely be different than the U.S. version. The deaths certainly occurred, but to the Japanese, the deaths were likely not the story and the focus of Iwo Jima as they would be to the U.S. I understand that Flags of our Fathers was the same story from the American perspective, and I suspect was more detailed in the deaths that occurred.
