This is a thought provoking movie. If you want a movie that doesn't require thought, do not look for this movie. I guess the most important thing about making this movie is the statement used in the movie as motivation: "No more Hiroshima's".
I liked the idea that they weaved newsreel footage in with the movie. Casting was extremely done. Instead of the "Forest Gump" mode, they had actors look like the real life people. There was interviews from people fighting in the islands that was matter of fact. Truly showed the non-glamorous side of war.
Like in Tora, Tora, Tora you have two sides of the movie. Both done extremely well. Any war buff person should watch this movie. I think the directors and actors took particular pains in being as accurate as possible.
