The movie I watched was "Letters From Iwo Jima". The movie was from the perspective of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in Iwo Jima to protect the mainland of Japan. In the movie General Tadamichi Kuribayashi was in control of preparing the troops for the attack from the Americans on the island. When he gets to the island he decides not to take the traditional approach on the battle, but instead to put the men into cave-like things. Many commanders did not like this, because they thought the beaches needed troops put on them. When the Americans finally arrive a lot of the men are almost positive they will all die, but the battle lasts longer than everyone expected because of Kuribayashi's plan.
The movie is also about a soldier named Saigo. Saigo wants to fight for his country, but he wants to go home to his wife and his daughter who he has never met before. Him and General Tadamichi Kuribayashi sort of become friends.
I thought "Letters From Iwo Jima" was a good movie, but it was very confusing for me. Especially since it was mainly in japanese and it was hard to concentrate on the picture but also read the subtitles at the bottom of the screen.
