Film: Clint Eastwood interview

Film: Clint Eastwood interview; ENGLAND: Eastwood interview SOT - 'Flags of Our Father' was sort of a detective story for James Bradley, finding out how his father, what his life was like during the war and what made him very silent about it, 'Letters from Iwo Jima' was a detective story for me to find out exactly what the other side was like Reporter asking question SOT Eastwood interview SOT - What triggered it was just curiosity, when I went to Iwo Jima the first time, I stood on the beach and I was very moved about being on the beach for all those marines who came on the shore, much like you would be at Normandy here, and it's very very moving feeling, but then all of a sudden you start climbing through the caves where all the Japanese soldiers were living in the ground like animals and you started thinking how the hell did they do it? How could they possibly have survived this with no food, no water? There is nothing on the island - What I'd read of Kuribayashi [General Tadamichi Kuribayashi], there is a certain nobility about him
