My Light and Shadow Diary, 31.

I actually don't really know much about this history. It's a history lesson for me, Roland Emmerich! A master of disaster films, this film is also full of that sense of apocalyptic despair. Especially in the scene where Pearl Harbor was attacked and the actors climbed from one ship to another, the sea water was as daunting as hell on earth! The whole film tells about a lot of different historical real characters. It may be that there are too many stories and too legendary characters, which led to them not being taken back in the end. We can only rely on the popular science time at the end of the film to let the audience understand the characters, which is a pity. But it's a really cool movie, and I still recommend it!

    Woody Harrelson played the hardest Nimitz, and Layton has a lot of behind-the-scenes heroines. The hearts were almost blown out when the Akagi and Hiryu were bombed, which is one of the few bright spots in the whole film. Yamaguchi Takumi still played the role of a tragic man, but Nagumo Chuichi, the bearer of the blame, was simply photographed as an old stupid donkey. Asano Tadanobu has nothing to play, not as deep as Abe Kuan in the previous Japanese version of "Yamamoto Fifty-Six". And this time, Hiroji Yamamoto replaced Yuyakusho Hiroji with Toyokawa Etsuji, which is quite satisfactory.

    The greatest generals know the fear of death, and the most qualified soldiers never fear death. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life, and the more seductive the task, the more dangerous it is. The biggest intelligence blunder in history, the more bizarre the more real the clues are. The samurai loyal to the emperor sank with the ship, and the warriors defending their homeland saw death as their fate. You can't protect that anxious boy any more than you can stop the attack on Pearl Harbor. War is never fair, but there are worthy opponents and sleeping giants.
