      Tora! Tora! Tora!--This is a Bland Movie

      It turned out to be "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!" Yeah, it's been copied from elsewhere for so long, and the name of the folder is "New Pearl Harbor". Someone must have made up this name, or the 2005 one is old. The version I watched is a Mandarin-dubbed version, which tells the whole story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. What makes people remember is that the Japanese side of Yamamoto and the pilot are impressive. I remember seeing a similar old movie, "Battle of...

      Take it off, take it off, take it off

      I remember watching it twice when I was a child, it was very beautiful, and now I still remember the scene where the pilot of the devil was excitedly shouting into the walkie-talkie, shouting three times, take off, take off, take off, that is, tiger, tiger, tiger, this is to launch an attack The code name of the smashed up the Yankees. Later, according to the information, it was fortunate that the main ship was not in Pearl Harbor at that time, otherwise the loss would have more than...

      Tiger Tiger Tiger after watching

      More than an hour before this old film, I mistakenly thought I was watching a documentary. It took me a little bit of concentration to start the bombing. The narration is too monotonous, but many of the shooting of the small details will be recalled after watching. (For example, the Japanese fighting spirit compared to the American bureaucracy, and various mistakes that led to the final success of the sneak attack) Compared with the shooting era, it is not easy to restore the authenticity so...

      Untouchable historical destiny

      Whether it was a defeat of defeat or a defeat of victory, the discussion of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor itself is now meaningless. There is providence in the dark, and history has its own destiny. Human will and strength can only move forward passively in the tide of the times. The greatness of politicians is not to compete with the times, not to move against the trend, but to make a decisive decision at the right time and place. Yamamoto's tragic nature is not his ambition,...

      Japan-US co-production, Akira Kurosawa and Shinji Fukasaku are both here!

      1. It's so well made. Akira Kurosawa screenwriter, director Shinji Fukasaku, and of course American directors, at least in the film industry, the United States and Japan can have such productions nearly 30 years after the war. Throughout the film, the shots of the Japanese military are very clean, tidy and orderly, which is a good practice of the essence of the Bauhaus. The American side is very casual. Although the Japanese army is short in stature, the clothes are neat,...

      1970's movie, really good, very rigorous and stylish old movie

    • By Wellington 2022-03-28 09:01:08

      One of the most classic war films in my childhood, compared to the later copy-selling "Pearl Harbor", this kind of documentary showing a series of actions of both Japan and the United States before and after the incident in a panoramic manner seems to have a much weaker visual impact, but it is not. Can make people think more about Pearl Harbor...

      The US military and political life and military power in 1941 stated by the United States and the Japanese military and political life and military power in 1941 stated by Japan, the clue is the Pearl Harbor incident. Such films are helpful for a sound view of history. In addition, there is a minute for Kurosawa to direct the...

      Yamamoto's general style and Nagumo Chuichi's conservative style are all distinctive. Yamamoto, who won the battle but was like a mourning wife, walked on the deck alone and looked into the distance. This ending is amazing. Reason tells him that he will wake up the sleeping giant, but as a soldier he still designs outstanding campaigns. What I liked very much were the two episodes, the panic of the plane driver's license instructor when they saw the Japanese plane, and the peasant women seeing...

      When I watched it again with Lukeson who was sick, I remembered that I never watched it when I was a child. The scene where the old man had a meeting an hour ago was really hard. The next one is pure play for an hour. Fortunately, it is a G-rated film, which is suitable for recommending to children who are interested in World War...

    Movie plot

    In the early 1940s, in order to establish the so-called "Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Circle" they dreamed of, the rulers of the Japanese Empire provoked wars everywhere, and it was their important strategic goal to go south to the Pacific. However, the United States has become a major obstacle to their realization of this dream. At the beginning of 1941, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Joint Fleet Commanderやまもといそろく; General...

    Piercing lens

    When the captain ran into the building to inform him that it was "not an exercise," the Pearl Harbor Memorial flashed in the background.
    The Japanese characters in the film always mentioned "December 8" when they mentioned the date of the attack. Although the historical date of the air strike on Pearl Harbor was December 7, 1941, due to the time difference, the date in Japan was exactly one day ahead of the United States. However, the...
