Thou...This is a very good film, almost a great one. Though I can't help feeling that Eastwood cribs too much from Malick's THE THIN RED LINE and isn't quite up to the task of portraying all the facets of the battle and juggling all the characters.<br /><br />I'd put IWO JIMA a close third to two of Eastwood's best directed Westerns, HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER and his only masterpiece THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES. <br /><br />Also agree about THE BEGUILED, an excellent little movie. And disagree a bit about Leone's vision being morally complex. If anything, this is definitely the area where the pupil eclipses his master. Eastwood seems to have matured into a fine man. I just sometimes wish his personal depth made him a more rigorous filmmaker.j.s.noreply@blogger.com
