關於這部電影

Tora! Tora! Tora! is the Japanese signal to attack - and the movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbor and the events leading up to it. Opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions. Japanese imperialists decide to stage the attack. Top U.S. brass ignore it's possibility. Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it - but never reach F.D.R.'s desk. Radar warnings are disregarded. Even the entrapment of a Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbor before the attack goes unreported. Ultimately the Day of Infamy arrives - in the most spectacular, gut-wrenching cavalcade of action-packed footage ever. You'll see moments of unsurpassed spectacle and heroism: U.S. fighters trying to take off and being hit as they taxi; men blasted from the decks of torpedoed ships while trying to rescue buddies; savage aerial dogfights pitting lone American fliers against squadrons of Imperial war planes. It's the most dazzling recreation of America's darkest day - and some of her finest hours.

評分和評論

Enjoyable, but not true to real events. Fact: certain elements in the U.S. already knew in advance Japan will attack Pearl Harbour. They let it happen so a pretext can be used to move the American public to side with England et al and declare war against Germany in World War 2, since up to this point, U.S. still has a neutral stance against the war in Europe. Remember: history books are written by victors and it's always one-sided. However, like a coin, History always have two sides. Research?!

This incredible recounting sticks to the known facts, and by use of superp cinematography portrays the horrific event in a way, which is sure to teach those who have never been taught this history, and does well. *be sure to check out the last segment!
