The Pacific Part 8 Watch Along

:( GUTTED

Comments

John Thomas

Th Battle of Iwo Jima began today in 1945. John Basilone won the Navy Cross for his actions at Iwo Jima. There are two great movies, both directed by Clint Eastwood, about this battle. The first is Flags of our Father's, which covers those Marines and Navy Corpsman who rose the American Flag on top of Mount Suribachi....and the second was Letters from Iwo Jima, which showed the fight from the Japanese prospective. Iwo Jima is back in the hands of the Japanese now and every year they allow visitors to come and tour the island, well some parts anyway.

Iwo Jima was the only battle of the Pacific Theater where American casualties exceeded the Japanese. Another aspect of the war in the Pacific unknown to most Americans is the participation of our Allies the British. Britain lost around 40,000 men and the Commonwealth State of India lost 90,000 fighting Japan. Japan also killed up to 2,500,000 Indian civilians. Most of the fighting occured in Burma and India.

Would have been nice to get a Melbourne like post Guadalcanal episode after peleliu and it started out to look that way but nope, the pacific sucked in just every aspect of it and the show really illustrates that well. I remember you mentioning you were gonna try and binge this to get through it. Would be a hard weekend to get through this and the Münster episode that just came out at the same time.

Whew, Ames!! What a tough one!! I loved the continuation of John Basilone's story. Every detail was meticulously crafted and amazingly acted and shot. From the brothers reading their radio scripts to the family dinner table to the scene in the Lt. Gen Vandegrift's office to Camp Pendleton. And then Lena... I got caught up in the beautiful love story. I should have known, for every heavenly moment with Lena there was going to be a correspondingly hellish one on Iwo Jima. I wasn't prepared. What a hero John was on that beach!! Gutted indeed!!

Get the tissues ready for episode 9, Ames. Trust me.

Loved your reaction this episode, especially the lighter moments -- pleasant to see you that way. Basilone being killed was devastating. The 10 minutes of the episode depicting Iwo Jima was some of the best series war filming. By the way, as you may know, the iconic photograph of six United States Marines raising the U.S. flag was taken on Iwo Jima. Became a world-famous statue near Washington DC.

Actual episode (w/o previews, etc.) begins around 4:00

John's widow never remarried, she was buried wearing her wedding ring from their marriage.

Man. You have gotta see flags of our fathers/ letters from iwo jima a duel film of sorts told from the American and Japanese pov. Iwo Jima and Okinawa where absolute hell holes. R.i.p john
