There is not much artistry at all. I gave him five stars because of respect for historical facts. It's hard to pick a mistake.
Pursue the style of documentary...
This is a movie loved by historians.
A movie highly praised by professionals.
Farago's The Broken Seal: the story of "Operation Magic" and the Pearl Harbor disaster is the original work, and the historical consultant is Gordon Prange, the man who ordered the research by General MacArthur in 46 years. The producer is also the original crew of the longest day, Aylmer Williams, who gave the order to die, and every detail must be consistent with history.
These materials have been translated in Chinese. For example, Plange’s We Sleep in the Early Morning: An Untold Story about Pearl Harbor. There is also a miracle of Midway Island translated into Planch. He spent a lot of effort to investigate and research, and the film also showed these precious details.
I personally think that the biggest advantage of doing this is to avoid controversy, because the wrong use of facts or wrong descriptions has made the movie subject to huge criticism.
Many people know that this film was shot with a model, and it was used in many scenes. But what they didn't know was that some of these models were actually the size of real warships. Although they wouldn't move, all plants and trees were just as they were. Therefore, military experts cannot be critical.
one,
In addition, it was the film that caused Kurosawa Akira to commit suicide. At that time, Zanuk facilitated the joint filming of the film by the United States and Japan. However, a few weeks after Kurosawa took over, Shinji Shensaku took over the film. The reason was Kurosawa is only suitable for making art films
But Hollywood said that Kurosawa may have "mental problems." Kurosawa also found that he was not well-known in the banking industry in Japan, and he had no funds to make movies. He felt that he had to succumb to the American Hollywood system. Art could not be realized and he was very desperate, so he attempted suicide. During this time he filmed Delsu Uzala.
But the biggest reason for suicide is the domineering of the US and they lied to Akira Kurosawa to ask David Lean for joint guidance.
The explanation in the tidbits is that at that time, Fox had a fiasco in the filming of a musical. Seeing the 20 million yuan budget handed in by Akira Kurosawa, he was shocked. This is what little Zanuk said.
He is one of the unsigned screenwriters. Therefore, this film is very important to understand Kurosawa's dramatic changes in temperament.
two,

3 other ships damaged
188 planes destroyed
159 aircraft damaged
2335 deaths (half of Arizona)
1143 injured
Japan: 4 small submarines sank, 1 small submarine touched down, 29 planes were destroyed, 74 planes were damaged, 64 people were killed, and one sailor was arrested.
three,
Let me move a brick below:
The Ward (DD-139) is an old "4-tube" destroyer that served in 1918; the "Finch" (DE-328) is used in the movie instead, which looks very different from the original destroyer same. In addition, in the movie, she fired two bullets from the No. 1 turret. In reality, Ward fired the first shot from the 14-inch (102 mm) turret and the second shot from the 3-wing turret.
✈️ The film shows the use of a rented Essex-class aircraft carrier Yorktown when the Japanese plane took off. It was commissioned in 1943 and modernized after the war. It has a flight deck with a small angle. The Yorktown is scheduled to be decommissioned in 1970. It is mainly used for take-off of Japanese aircraft and combined with model shooting. . Rented by the filmmaker, that's fine too!
It does not look like a Japanese aircraft carrier because of the large bridge islands, and angled flight decks. The bridge island of the Japanese aircraft carrier was relatively small, and the inclined flight deck was not developed until after the war.
In addition, in the scene where Admiral Halsey watched the bombing exercise, an aircraft carrier with a hull of No. 14 was shown. Admiral Halsey was on the Enterprise, not the Ticonderoga, which did not enter service until 1944. This is understandable, but the Enterprise and all six Japanese aircraft carriers in this attack were destroyed and sunk respectively. The Enterprise was abandoned in 1959, and four ships including Akagi were sunk within six months of the Battle of Midway.
In Tora! Tora! Tora! In, the model of the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi Akagi is wrong: Akagi’s bridge island is located on the starboard side of the ship, which is the case on most aircraft carriers. However, the Akagi aircraft carrier is an exception, with its bridge island on the port side of the ship. Nevertheless, the bridge section still accurately presents a mirrored version of the real port side bridge in Akagi.
Secondly, all Japanese aircraft in the film bear the Akagi aircraft mark (a vertical red stripe follows the Japanese red sun symbol), even if the other five aircraft carriers also participated, each aircraft carrier has its own mark. In addition, these marks do not display the aircraft's identification number as in actual combat. Since 1942, the white surrounds on the round objects on Japanese airplanes have only been used. Before that, it was just a red circle.
The stern part of the Nevada was also used to depict the Arizona and other American warships. The lattice mast (or cage mast) of the Tennessee/Maryland-class battleship was partly built next to the stern part of the USS Nevada, but not on a set of decks, but on the ground, because the screens in the movie are only The cage mast tower needs to be displayed. The large model of the stern shows two stern turrets, each with three barrels; in fact, Nevada has two taller front and rear turrets, each with two barrels, and the lower two front and rear turrets. Each turret has three barrels.
Another Nevada model, used in the movie to depict the entire ship, shows that the turret is accurate. It should be pointed out that the reason for this anomaly is that the tail model was used in the film to depict the Nevada and Arizona. The ships look very similar, except that Arizona has four triple turrets and a slightly different stern section. The footage and photos not used in the film show that the mast of the cage was built on the ground. The stern of the USS Nevada/Arizona proved to be an explosion, representing the explosion that destroyed the USS Arizona, despite the fact that the explosion occurred in the magazine, front of No. 2 magazine. The stern part of Arizona remains basically intact to this day.
In this movie, a Japanese Zero Fighter was hit and deliberately crashed into a naval base hangar. This is actually a combination of the three incidents of the Pearl Harbor attack: In the first attack, a Japanese Zero fighter hit the Armory Building at Kamehameha; in the second attack, a Japanese Zero After the fighter jet shot down and damaged the aircraft at the Naval CPO John William Finn at the Kāneʻohe Bay Naval Air Station, it deliberately crashed into the hillside; at the same time, in the second wave, a damaged Japanese aircraft crashed into the water of the Cortese airplane.
In several shots of the attack squadron across Oahu, a white cross was seen standing on one of the hillsides. In fact, the cross was erected after the attack to commemorate the victims of the attack.
Four,
In the tidbits:
Stillwell said: There were 1,100 casualties on the Arizona alone. Green: It is mainly for the oil of the Indy Islands, because the US oil embargo has a great impact on Japan. For the ship commander, the most terrifying thing is to be trapped in the harbor by the sunken ship. The Oklahoma was weaker than other ships due to its ability to resist capsizing and counter flooding. After hitting 7 torpedoes, he sank completely. After being salvaged, many corpses were found.
American revision historians have so far misled the Chinese understanding of the Pearl Harbor incident. They believed that Roosevelt knew all this information in advance, and then deliberately caused the Pearl Harbor incident to occur, thus declaring war on the Axis powers. In fact, as shown in the film, everyone is in a race of time, and the US is negligent in preparations for the war situation, and even unable to crack the Japanese military situation.
They followed the responsibility system of multiple directors at the time. Fox had been filming the bloody battle in the isolated island. The history of bloody battles in the clear sky, in 1967, they asked the US Pentagon and the Japanese military for assistance. So the whole film was censored by the two armies. Especially Harada joined. He was a senior government official at the time. He said that some of the films shot in Japan and Southeast Asia were bad films, but he was full of praise for the longest day, so he decided to join the camp. The Type Zero fighters were destroyed by the Japanese themselves after World War II. Because of the treaty they had to destroy heavy weapons, the aircraft at that time were very rare. So I asked the mechanic Jack Connery to supervise the construction. He discovered that the Zero fighter actually copied the American 86 fighter. This is why the film is replaced with number 86. At that time, everyone was not familiar with this old model, so it was not easy to find a pilot who could go to the sky. Connery also died in the plane crash of the test flight.
They filmed directly at the Hawaii Air Force Base, and also entered Washington and California, San Diego, and Tokyo. Yes, this is a particularly precious place for this movie. And after Pearl Harbor, the buildings here are well preserved, with a sense of historical authenticity, there are no additional buildings, and no illegal constructions.
They also produced full-size models of the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi and Nagato, all of which were filmed on Kyushu Island. Ironically, this was also the place where Japanese pilots were trained in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
I decided not to use a big star because I wanted to make a documentary. There are more character actors. And what Kurosawa wants to use are non-professional actors, who are basically big bosses in the business world. He uses this to please them by offering flowers and offerings in order to obtain more investment. This approach makes everyone very unhappy, because they need excellent acting skills.
The script is 667 pages long, and Kurosawa originally wanted to change the plot of the United States. Harvard University professor Jin Ye Ming said that the film does not involve background, such as the origin of the Pearl Harbor incident, which can be as far as 1931. This film is straight to the point and talks directly about the incident itself. There is also no description in the film. At that time, Japan was basically an agricultural country, and their warships had only 10 aircraft carriers before and after World War II. In the United States, they had four or five aircraft carriers at the beginning and hundreds of them at the end. Ship.
In Japan, joining the navy is the dream of every young person. In the United States, they all want to work in factories. Those who come to join the army are very poor people. Many interviews have confirmed this.
Kurosawa started filming at the Kyoto studio. Even if it was a non-essential conversation, he had to invite three photographers to shoot. It took only three weeks to shoot six minutes of unavailable footage. Initiated Hikawa Hisashi and Atsumi Kiyoshi. Seeing that the budget was seriously overrun and Fox was in great difficulty at the time, they decided to give up Akira Kurosawa with reluctance. Shinji Fukasaku is responsible for the action and special effects scenes, while Toshio Masuda, who has directed 40 movies, is responsible for the literary drama. And Takeo Yoshikawa of the Japanese Consulate is an excellent spy. He observes the ships in and out of the port from the top of the mountain every day, and sends them to Tokyo every week.
