This June 10, 2008 combination image shows directors Clint Eastwood(L) and Spike Lee. The role of African-American soldiers during bloody fighting on the island of Iwo Jima in 1945 has triggered a war of of words between Hollywood heavyweights Clint Eastwood and Spike Lee. Lee fired the first verbal salvo during the recent Cannes Film Festival, taking aim at Eastwood's failure to depict any black US soldiers in his two recent World War Two films, "Flags of our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima." The maverick director -- no stranger to controversy -- accused five-time Oscar winner Eastwood of presenting a distorted historical view by omitting black actors from the two films. "Clint Eastwood made two films about Iwo Jima that ran for more than four hours total, and there was not one Negro actor on the screen," said Lee."In his version of Iwo Jima, Negro soldiers did not exist," added Lee, while promoting his forthcoming film, "Miracle at St. Anna," which he hopes will show the forgotten contribution of African-American soldiers in World War II. Eastwood responded to Lee's comments with unusual candor in an interview published in British newspaper The Guardian last Friday, bluntly telling Lee to "shut his face."
