Plot
The film tells the story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The U.S. Army suffered heavy losses without guarding and almost wiped out the Pacific Fleet.
Evaluation
1. The film has a documentary style that fully restores the causes and consequences of the Pearl Harbor incident from Japan and the United States. Although his literary attainments are not high, his achievements in history are not bad, and it is worth recommending.
2. The US military was not ignorant of the Japanese attack. According to some intercepted telegrams, some U.S. military officers have suspected that Japan is about to attack. However, their superiors did not pay much attention to it and underestimated this opponent who played cards in an unreasonable manner. So I saw some very ironic scenes. The Japanese bombers had already flown overhead, and some people thought it was an exercise; the bombing of Pearl Island had already begun, and the US military was still over the weekend. Therefore, when you don’t know your opponent, you must not relax your vigilance. The Americans never dreamed that a country would shamelessly carry out a sneak attack before it declared war .
3. Yamamoto knew that going to war with the US was a dead end, but as a soldier he still had to obey the country's decision, so he planned the Pearl Harbor attack. When arrogance within the Japanese army has become the mainstream, Yamamoto can correctly recognize that the terrible United States is actually quite rare.
4. The success of the Pearl Harbor attack was actually due to some accidental factors, namely the paralysis of the US military. Yamamoto’s gambler mentality was still reflected in this battle. The countless telegrams, the mighty battleships, and the dense bombers could not have been detected by the U.S. military. Facts have proved that the U.S. military intercepted the telegrams correctly. The voice speculated that the Japanese army would take a sneak attack, and if the US army took strict precautions, the Pearl Harbor incident would not happen. The US military's carelessness was not because Yamamoto knew enough about the judgments made by the American nationality. Therefore, the Pearl Harbor attack was actually a fluke of Yamamoto's gamblers' mentality . Yamamoto was not so lucky for the subsequent naval battle on Midway Island.
