With little defense other than sheer will and the volcanic rock of Iwo Jima itself, the unprecedented tactics of General Tadamichi Kuribayashi (Ken Watanabe, The Last Samurai) and his men transform what was predicted to be a swift defeat into nearly 40 days of heroic and resourceful combat. Their sacrifices, struggles, courage and compassion live on in the taut, gripping film Rolling Stone calls 'unique and unforgettable.' It is the powerful companion piece to Flags of Our Fathers. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Too bad I don't read fast! This is a terrific product, IF you speak Japanese or have the ability to speed read. I purchased this item because the advertised spoken language was English or Japanese. Unfortunately, that is not the case. The spoken language is Japanese with English subtitles. A real shame, because I think hearing the profound dialog that I did have time to read would be worth hearing in English. Rating: - Misleading Product Description - not in English I bought this because the Amazon Product Description said that the language was English; it isn't, it is in Japanese.
