Movie Reviews of Hell in the Pacific
Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I absolutely LOVED this movie! We first watched it without the subtitles, and it made a really fantastic movie because we were like the American - not really able to figure out what was totally going on. Then, after the movie, we watched key scenes with the subtitles on and laughed really hard when we were able to see the other point of view. We want our teenage sons to watch it, and decided we will have them see it the same way.
I highly recommend you watch it without subtitles first.
The only part neither of us liked was the ending. Here was a wonderful movie that had us on the edge of our seats and even after watching the alternate ending, we both though "What dummy couldn't figure out how to end this?!?!" Very jarring. It's like they ran out of time and money and just threw something at the screen. Bummer.
Even with the bad ending (we wrote our own in our own heads), the rest of the movie was so spectacular, we give it 5 stars! Have fun!

Hell in the Pacific
Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune (The BEST Japanese actor ever), are the perfect team for this unforgettable war story from WW2! An American and a Japanese soldiers are stranded on an isolated island... they are enemies, trying to survive each other, the nature, the isolation from human beings. This movie wakes up all the feelings, that a man can feel- love,fear, pity, anger, compassion, sadness, happiness..., hate- one moment you hate Toshiro's character, then you hate Lee's... "It's only the two of you, why can't you just live and let live, forgive..." Very intense,like a roller coaster ride. I saw it as a kid and never forgot it, and at last I was able to find it and GET IT FOR MY OWN MOVIE GALLERY! This movie is priceless and never gets old. And it is too short! You, Lee and Toshiro fighting for survival- you feel this intense movie is over before it even began!

Movie Review: Loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an awesome movie. I'd seen it years ago, but after reading a friend's grandfather's memoir about Iwo Jima, I had to see it again. Did you know that Lee Marvin was at Iwo Jima and won a highly decorated award? He did! My friend's memoir is Walking Through Fire, An Iwo Jima Survivor's RemembranceMovie Review: Hell in the Pacific
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent film with outstanding performances by two great actors. You won't be disappointed. This is not your average war film. It's a conflict of cultures as played out by two desperate men who finally realize that they must cooperate to survive. It takes misunderstanding to a whole new level.
Two thumbs up, three if I had them.
Movie Review: A Treasure
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this movie many years ago when it first came out. Just recently found it on Amazon at a very low price. If you recall, the movie has a sad ending but to my surprise the DVD has two filmed ending. The other is not sad. This shows how fruitless war can be.
