The battle of Ivo IMAIMA, running from February 19 to March 26, 1945, was a key battle of World War II. The Japanese army there were two established bunkers, which the US Army aimed to capture. The cases were difficult than both sides, with Americans eventually suffering more losses than the Japanese. The island of Ivo IMaima was eventually made, and many Americans are familiar with the photo (made by a journalist named OEO Rosenthal) of US troops raising a flag on top of Suribaci Mountain. The photo was used as a model of the Felix de Weldon sculptor to modify a statue used in the military memorial of the Arlington National Cemetery.

The battle is well set on fire by the historians of war and is given extensively in history classes. The battle of Ivo IMaima was also a popular subject for directors, and many features are dedicated to military efforts. Perhaps the most famous, Clint Eastwood made a couple of Ivoima films in 2006, both released in the same year, both telling the Army from a different perspective. "Flags of Our Fathers" were announced on October 20 and detailed the battle from the American perspective, While "Letters from Ivo IMaima" It was announced on December 20 and had the perspective of the Japanese army. The second was nominated for four awards at the Academy, including the best picture and the best director.

Of course, Hollywood has already adapted the battle with the film back in 1949. It was the year of Alan Two "Ivoima's Sands". In that film, Johnon Wayne starred as a hard-to-nocti-noctal army, who trained a line of US troops ahead of the battle. "Sands" was the first time Wayne, Hollywood icon and notorious racist A-holewas nominated for the Academy Award.

Like many World War II films since the 40s and 50s of the last century, "Ivoima's Sands" is in-US propaganda film, emphasizing the greatness of the US military. The film shows three of the military personnel in real life-Reney Ganjon, Ira Chase and Johnon Bradley-which were present to raise the flag of Mount Suribaci. By the way, Bradley's son, Jameseyms Bradley, will write the book "Flags of Our Fathers", which would be based on Eastwood's 2006 film.

Other survivors of the battle of Ivo IMAIMA, including Henry Crow, Harold Schrier and David M. have emerged. Hup. The image of Johnon Wayne, however, was a fictional construct, as well as other soldiers playing the likes of Johnon Agar, Forrest Tucker and Richard Yacquel. Fun Trivia: Wayne, Agar, Tucker and Jacel all reunited Western Kissum of 1970.

It is interesting to see "Ivoima's Sands" and "Flags of Our Fathers" back, as it can be seen as a variable historical perspective of the battle itself. "Sands" is a movie about heroism and bold actions that the military thought they should take in times of war (even if the true tactical value of Iwo Jima had long been arguing). "The flag of our fathers" is a more intense, intergenerational story of the Long Heroes Dead and their calcification in the sterile pages of history.

And the three films mentioned above are hardly that IWIA's only respect in Hollywood history. Ministry of HBO in 2010 "Pacific" in 2010 It covered the events of the battle in its eighth episode. The short documentary in 1945 "Next to Ivo IMaima's shores" recorded real footage of real American troops at work, although the fighting sequences were recreated in Southern California.

Hollywood may return to the battle of Ivo IMaima, but between Eastwood and Twin, we are well covered for now.
