It was brave of Clint Eastwood to make both films, but in particular Letters given how the Japanese are generally seen as brutal heartless monsters during WWII. That's not to say that what they did during the war was correct, but this movie definitely humanises them and gives a completely fresh perspective of that stereotype. Unsurprisingly it was controversial when it came out in the US. I also recommend Stalingrad, made by a German director.
