DVD Reviews of Iwo Jima: 36 Days of Hell
DVD Review: Great Film Footage, But Some Modern Historic Rewrite
Summary: 4 Stars
First the good - This documentary contains almost exclusively excellent color footage from Iwo and several other battles, a rarity even in the best WWII documentaries, and well worth the price of admission for WWII buffs. The actual story is well told, if incompletely. The interviews with the veterans of the battle are good, and are sure to become more valuable historically as the old heros pass away. They remind me of some of the stories I heard growing up as a boomer in a neighborhood populated mostly by South Pacific veterans, who were the dads of my friends.
Now the bad - My problem with this story is mostly with the "Prologue" section, which attempts to present the U.S. and Japan as competing nations who went to war basically to win trading rights with China. China at this time was an insignificant trading partner with the U.S., and the U.S. would have never gone to war for this reason. This a typical modern attempt to shift blame for the war to the U.S. The documentary goes on to state that Japan's expansion would have been complete once it controlled the South Pacific - more pure fantasy. Japanese doctrine clearly states that rule "of the four corners of the earth" was the Emporer's devine right, and the conquest of the United States was the last phase of world domination, as layed out in the Tanaka Memorial. General Yamamoto himself stated several days after Pearl Harbor that he would march his armies into Washington D.C. and dictate terms of surrender to the president. Japan and Germany both openly stated repeatedly that they would conquer the the world, and set about doing just that. To state Japan would be satisfied once they conquered the Pacific is not only historical folly, it demeans the U.S. as just a competing nation for world dominance. The truth is the U.S. was a reluctant participant in WWII and went to war only after attacked. When the U.S. finished liberating half the world at a terrible price in blood and capital, for the most part they went home like the true heroes these men were, and still are.
