Tora Tora Tora [Posted on 2008-08-13]
Whilst not having the range of special effects wizardry that we saw in 'Pearl Harbour ' my opinion is Tora! Tora! Tora! is a far superior version of events leading up to and including the attack on Pearl Harbour. I thought the movie was an accurate account of the the attack and gave a good perspective from both the Japanese and American sides. Certainly ranks in the upper bracket of very good war movies and has been warmly welcomed into my movie collection.
After 38 years this is still the best portrayal of the attack on Pearl Harbor. [Posted on 2008-10-05]
If you ever wondered what it might be like to be at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, this film is your best bet.
It is a long, careful, meticulous look, at a monumental event. It is also extremely well balanced. This is no Gung Ho propaganda film. It shows equally how skillfully the Japanese caught the U.S. off guard, how ill prepared the U.S. was for the attack, and how bravely the American servicemen tried to make the best of a horrible reality. It keenly illustrates the ironic tragedy, where Japan is victorious in battle, but ultimately loses the war. The battle scenes, despite their intensity and fury, give only a hint of the carnage both sides were to suffer in the course of the conflict.
As more time passes, and the veterans (both Japanese and American) are lost to us, I doubt that there will be another movie made about this attack. If there is, it will have to go a long way to best Tora, Tora, Tora.
Tora! Tora! Tora! [Posted on 2008-10-18]
Simply put, this is the best movie about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the Historical facts
about the attack.
A CLASSIC STILL GOOD TODAY!!! [Posted on 2008-11-16]
TORA! TORA! TORA! is the Japanese signal to attack and this epic film co-produced by American & Japanese interests shows both sides of the story as it builds to the climatic attack on Pearl Harbor which ultimately brought America into WWII. The film does a terrific job of alternating back and forth between the Japanese and American stories so that the viewer gains a good understanding of the circumstances on each side as well as the sequence of events leading up to the attack. The story, by most accounts almost documentary like, is very accurate in depicting the mistakes made by the U.S. military in being caught off guard but it could have been much worse had any of the aircraft carriers been in port which were the real Japanese targets, knowing they had to try to defuse America's air superiority in the Pacific. In the end the Japanese realize they may have won the battle but 'they had awakened a sleeping giant' which they will now have to deal with. The battle scene is spectacular and even more so when you consider it is before computerized graphics and deservedly won the Oscar for visual effects. This is a history lesson that is both entertaining and family friendly. The commentary and additional documentaries with the special addition are excellent. Highly recommend. [...].
