Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) 
Hole Men

Eastwood has been criticized for overhumanizing the Japanese soldiers. While a couple of the guys were extremely good-natured, I like to believe that people can be patriotic and fair-minded. A lot of the important drama was how these guys interacted with the more dogmatic, suicide-culture Japanese soldiers. Eastwood chose a really rich topic and did a good job at relating the story.
Don’t watch this movie if you have issues with violence. This is no Apocolypto, but when he does go gory, it is intense. I know one person who reportedly watched half the movie with her hand over her eyes.
