"Letters from Iwojima" got a technology award

The film won the 79th Academy's, Sound Effect Award.

The scene a Model 99 machine gun shot and someone recording the sound of the gunshots at the shooting range, was shown in the TV program

This film is very impressive for Japanese.
We do not know what happened there truely.
Because most of the men did not returned.
So General Kuribayasi and Bron Nisih, how they died , no one knows.

Clint Eastwood thought that tiny island both Japanese and U.S. total 30000 men died is a special place.
Why Japanese fought without no escape.
There were many words sporken about this subject in the film.

The sound of Model 99 light machine guns were OK, but Model 92 heavy machine guns were those of Browing guns. A Model 92 had short intervals between shots and it sounded low.
(In the film "Thin Red Line" it was a real M-92 sounds.)

I would like to tell this fact to Clint Eastwood and the technicians.
