The 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Fascist War will soon arrive. There are many films reflecting the Second World War. The United States and Japan co-produced "Tiger! Tiger! "Tiger" is undoubtedly one of the classics, a panoramic description of the ins and outs of the Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor. It reflected the entanglement of the Japanese emperor, the arrogance of militarism, and Yamamoto's calmness and worries. His worries later became a reality. I later learned that Japan was the first country to build an aircraft carrier, earlier than the United States, and the number of ships. many. A small Japan has only so much energy. In the special film, the comparison of the preparations of the two sides in combat shows the gap between the two sides. The United States lost its carelessness, overestimation of its own strength, and diplomatic trust. When then said that the United States deliberately did not notify, let the Japanese army succeed, and then aroused the anger of the people, to achieve the purpose of Congress agreeing to participate in the war.
The feature of this film is that the two warring countries are co-produced, taking into account the interests of both sides, showing the bravery and bold discipline of the Japanese army, showing the seriousness and perseverance of the U.S. intelligence officials, the soldiers fighting bravely, and there are irresponsible and stupid behaviors, etc. Don't favor anyone, line-drawing technique, the loser is not sad and painful, on the contrary, it arouses fighting spirit. Those who won are not excited but a little heavy.

    A good beginning is half the battle. It was made into a documentary, Japan's only complete victory in the war against the United States, and the United States had problems with information processing, but Japan practiced every detail.

    8. The classic work of panoramic war movies. In fact, the movie makes one thing clear. How the United States was successfully attacked by Japan, all the characters and events revolve around this one center, so although the movie has many characters and complicated threads, but instead There is no sense of tediousness. It is a small narrative under the big picture, basically the same type of theme, Hollywood looks at the tiger tiger tiger, the Soviet Union looks at the liberation.
