Letters from Iwo Jima Page #2
- About a month, sir.
Taro, America is filled with cars.
I have to be very careful
when I cross the street...
there are so many cars everywhere.
Taro, are you behaving yourself
and listening to your mother?
I miss you.
These civilians need to be
evacuated as soon as possible.
Yes, sir.
Hanako...
we have a celebrity here.
Baron Nishi, the Olympic gold medalist
in horse jumping.
He will lead the 26th tank regiment...
and has just arrived from Tokyo.
Nishi is very handsome, and there are
rumors of his womanizing skills.
But there are no women
left on the island to woo.
Lieutenant Colonel Nishi!
You brought your horse.
From Chichi Jima.
I used to be a cavalryman myself,
you know.
Of course, I know.
I've been looking forward
One who understands horses
the way I do.
When we used to ride horses
through the battlefield...
those were the good old days...
not like these mechanized contraptions.
I could send for another horse...
and we could ride together.
I'm afraid my riding days are over.
But tell me about this famous horse
of yours that you won the Olympics with.
My stallion, Uranus.
Oh, yes, this horse has a fine back.
I bought him in Italy.
They were happy to get rid of him.
He was such a wild horse.
No one could tame the beast,
but I told them...
such a headstrong horse...
Come dine with me tonight.
I feel like having a drink.
I think that can be arranged.
How did you manage to get
the Johnnie Walker?
I drank some already.
I'm sorry. This is all we have.
That's fine, as long as we have this.
What is this empty plate?
I have told our cook that all officers...
will have the same rations
and food as our men.
I'm sorry, but serving three dishes
is regulation.
Oh, but of course we have the right to be
served more than three dishes per meal.
You're absolutely right.
it is regrettable that most of the
Combined Fleet was destroyed.
We still have some battleships left...
but we have very little striking power
from the air or sea.
Nishi, what do you mean?
So you have not heard about
the Mariana battle?
Admiral Ozawa's carrier and boat planes
were destroyed.
The Imperial headquarters...
is deceiving not just the people,
but us as well.
If you want my honest opinion, General...
the best thing to do...
would be to sink the island
to the bottom of the sea.
And yet, you still came?
Well...
I figured your men were going to need
all the tanks that I could bring.
This must be it.
Yes, the enemy must land here.
Run!
Like you were one of the Americans!
Go on! Which direction would you take?
Hey...
