"Tiger Tiger Tiger" is a movie that reproduces the historical reality with a strong sense of reality. It fully explains the causes and consequences of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the United States. In this film, there are not too many artistic decorations and embellishments, and there are not too many plots of characterization. Some are just the true reproduction of the entire historical scene and every step of the diplomatic, military and intelligence between Japan and the United States before the incident broke out. developing. Although there is no atmosphere rendering, the plot is still compact and fascinating. In the process of watching the film, every development detail seems to determine the development direction of the story. It is a good film with a flat surface and an exciting substance.
This film, released in 1970, was at the blockbuster level at the time. For that era, it was very rare to be able to shoot such shocking war scenes. Although it is impossible to have the dazzling special effects of today’s movies, There is a unique sense of the times brought to people by old films. This sense of times is recorded on film, as if time has stagnated, giving people a feeling of reappearing the original appearance.
Old movies include old movie effects, old directors, old actors, old sea and sky, all of which are just right in the context of the historical background of the attack on Pearl Harbor. "Tiger" is faithful to the original appearance of history, shooting this thrilling history from an extremely objective angle. No matter from any angle, it is the most historically valuable film to record this period of history.
The most distinctive part of the movie is its dialogue. This is also the movie with the most dialogues I have seen. From the scene switching, it has a taste of drama. Because it is loyal to historical facts, it is inconvenient to add too much emotional modification, so some people commented that it appears weak in characterization, but I don't think it is wrong, because a piece of history is the result of many factors. The weakening of characterization, on the other hand, emphasizes the plot of the story.
The dialogue in "Tiger" is natural and true. The plain and humorous discourse contains the mystery and complexity of diplomacy, as well as the careful military planning. Secondly, we can also discover many hidden reasons for the success of the Pearl Harbor attack in the dialogue. During the viewing process, we must carefully listen to every word and every detail they say, because it is likely to be the foundation for the subsequent scenes. Enjoy this process of constant discovery and reasoning, which is probably the reason why military movie lovers are happy to be loyal to it.
Another feature of the movie is its use of music. "Tiger" is the first time that Japan and the United States have calmly cooperated on this historical issue after a quarter of a century. Therefore, its performance in both the United States and Japan is in place. What impressed me the most is that whenever the screen is switched to the Japanese side, the background music will naturally add the characteristic music elements of Japan, allowing people to quickly change their thinking and enter the role. The music of American radio is also a clue in the movie. The music on the radio when the Japanese aircraft carrier approached Hawaii, and the radio waves received by the Japanese fighter aircraft when they approached Pearl Harbor. The clues of Japan's positioning of Pearl Harbor, on the other hand, have further strengthened the confidence of the Japanese to win-based on the defenseless state of the Americans.
It's a pity that such a good film was not accepted by the Americans when it was first released. The arrogant, they did not have the courage to put this heavy lesson on the screen, believing that what the film showed was a humiliation to the Americans, which made this excellent film. War epic blockbusters failed miserably at the box office in the United States. However, the classics will always stand the test of time. Today we still seem to be an excellent war movie, and its "old" impresses me. profound.
