Watched Flags and I must say it was quite good. So now my hopes for letters is quite high.

[Bj03]

watched tues, i can say it's not as confusing, no multiple flashbacks like flags too... it all focus on the war itself, with onli a bit of parts showing the history of some characters... overall it's gd and recommended !! :)

Spoilers

Spoiler

For those tt watched Flags, remember the scene where the Marines found the jap soldiers who killed themselves with grenades? u get to see it in this movie :)
