I saw Clint's "Flags of of Our Fathers" and I look forward to seeing the movie that is the representation of the other sides view (Japanese) of the same battle. "letters From Iwo JIma tells the story of Iwo from the Japanese perspective. Word has it that the film is well received in Japan so Clint must have got it right.
The lead actor in that film playing the role of the commanding officer of the Japanese garrison on Iwo is ken Watanabe who also played the Japanese samurai in the Tom Cruise film "last Samurai"
