Sands of Iwo Jima

Sands of Iwo Jima is an American black and white film from 1949, set in the Second World War. The last quarter of the film is staged during the battle of Iwo Jima; the film ends with the raising of the American flag on Mount Suribachi. The film outlines the macho nature of the U.s. Marine during World War II. ==The story[ Edit] == Sergeant Stryker (played by John Wayne) Gets the task a squad to train new Marines to a well-oiled fighting machine and packs them with hard hand. In his spare time he bedrinkt himself to the problems with his wife to forget. His polar opposite is soldier Conway (played by John Agar), the son of a decorated Marine officer who out of sense of duty was engaged, but not with his university education at home in the Marines. Gradually the film converted Stryker both his green soldiers as Conway to real Marines. Moreover, Stryker itself better with itself in balance. ==Character[ Edit] == The film contains much historical filmateriaal that is mounted in alternation between the real story or if background serves. This looks not very taken care of. A number of Veterans of the battle of Iwo Jima has small roles.
