Hoping to create the most balanced view of World War II yet brought to film, Clint Eastwood is releasing a two-part drama, with Flags of Our Fathers telling the American side and Letters From Iwo Jima lending the Japanese perspective. Never have right and wrong been so clearly laid out. Starring Ken Watanabe, Letters is based on actual letters sent by General Tadamichi Kuribayashi to his family, including the now infamous postscript, "I see some Americans holding their flag over yonder. Where do they think they're going to raise that thing?" If you liked the trailer to Flags of Our Fathers, you'll like this trailer even more. Otherwise you're a racist.

Wow, a single trailer for two movies!
I wonder if they are going to use alot of the same footage for both movies.

Didn't we raise it, like, on Hirohito's *face*? *Jesus*, I don't understand where the Japanese get their ingrained sense of cultural superiority.
