Attached is a link to Roger Ebert's film article, which touches the themes of Nationalism and Corruption. Ebert writes about how Letters from Iwo Jima is like it's brother film, Flags of Our Fathers, but instead in the Japanese perspective. He points out that not only was pride for the country was strong on both American and Japanese sides, but the propaganda in each nation as well.
"This is the hole that we will fight and die in." (Nationalism)
"The Imperial Headquarters is deceiving not just the people but us as well." (Corruption)
