Japan-US co-production, Akira Kurosawa and Shinji Fukasaku are both here!

This film restores history as objectively as possible, with events interlocking and each character clearly defined. Even without the assistance of computer CG, the war scenes in the film are really shocking. The charms of several famous Japanese generals have been restored very well. It has to be said that Pearl Harbor was the beginning of a Greek tragedy. Even if the morning sun is like the sun of the military flag heralding victory, the spirit of "defeating the enemy bravely" is powerless in the face of the setting sun.

Fabulous! The on-site restoration is very granular. For example, the B-17 of the U.S. military cannot lower the landing gear with its hand crank, and the lack of professional typists in the Japanese embassy in the United States leads to delays in submitting documents. Such rich details bring the ultimate enjoyment to the audience, making people feel Realizing that war isn't as rational as it's written in the books, that there are all sorts of surprises at the technical level, and that the missteps in each chain add up to stupidity, making history itself sexy and interesting. The film is unbiased and vividly shows the mistakes made by both sides, such as the decision-making system of the US bureaucracy, the sloppy and untrained combat scum of the grassroots, the political power of various Japanese parties and the division within the military. The amount of information is large, there are no idle chapters, and the characters' dialogues are used to explain the side, but the rhythm is not cramped. The tension in the early stage of the attack and the strong suppressing power of the Japanese Air Force almost jumped off the screen. The actors are all good, no matter how big or small the characters are. The soundtrack is good, which not only combines elements of traditional Japanese music, but also creates a sense of tension and solemnity of war.
