But what "Letters from Iwo Jima" does differently compared to ANY war movie (from what I've seen) is the depiction of themes and struggles that have scarcely been covered in any type of American storytelling. Thus, the film seems to be another emulation of the visually and the viscerally spectacular, "Saving Private Ryan". The color palette, the shaky-cam, death and blood between quick-cuts, and dirt flinging up from ricocheting bullets are all done via "Saving Private Ryan"'s style except with a considerably lacking production value. Yes, visually, you're not gonna find much difference contrary to watching "Saving Private Ryan". That isn't to say, "Letters" was a bad movie - just thought the film did very little to distinguish itself from the rest of the movies within the war genre.Ĭompared to your average war-movie, "Letters" has a bit more depth to it. For a movie that has had an amazing word of mouth, "Letters from Iwo Jima" surprisingly is not quite the punch that I'd thought it would be.
