[gundam] (OT) Letters from Iwo Jima

[James Boren]

Last night I saw "Letters from Iwo Jima".  I can't get it out of my 
mind. It was one of the most sobering and tragic movies I've ever 
seen. War is a central of aspect of Gundam. In fact, aren't the 
asteroid battles in first Gundam, at Solomon and A Bau A Qu modeled 
on the island hopping campaigns in the Pacific war? But comparing 
Gundam to what I saw in that movie...it makes Gundam seem so 
ridiculous, perhaps even insulting. God, that movie really got into 
my head.
