To make it perish, make it crazy first.

After watching "Tiger Tiger Tiger", I feel that the plot is better than the 2019 "Decisive Battle of Midway". With the participation of the Japanese director, it is obvious that the Japanese navy united fleet officer who initiated the incident has been photographed a bit richer. It will not be as stupid as the latter, and those who have no brains will commit suicide and hit the ship. The early stage of the Pearl Harbor incident was well laid out and very realistic. There is a detail that American intelligence personnel had to report emergency information to General Marshall, but learned that the general would go horseback riding in the park every weekend morning as usual. In short, before the incident, the senior management showed relaxation, carelessness, and even commanding blindly. For example, if you put all the planes together, they will all be blown up when the Japanese planes strike.

In the end, Yamamoto reflected and said, “I originally wanted Japan to declare war first, and then quickly annihilate the US Pacific Fleet in one fell swoop.” From the film’s perspective, this is possible. For example, the Japanese ambassador to the United States sent the declaration of war early, and the surprise attack troops commanded by Nan Yun were able to carry out the second and third rounds of attacks, which may make it a reality. But from the perspective of Zhuge Liang at the time, no matter how the attack on Pearl Harbor expanded the results of the attack, the final defeat of Japan could not be avoided.

First of all, from the perspective of military configuration and weaponry, if the Japanese army wiped out all fleets including the US aircraft carrier in the Pearl Harbor incident, can Japan attack the US mainland? It should be impossible. The US Army is still very powerful, and there are also aviation units in the Army. If the fleet is completely destroyed in a short period of time, self-protection should be more than enough. In addition, the United States has a very strong industrial base, and it should be able to restore its maritime combat capability as soon as possible. In the end, Japan failed.

Perhaps it is precisely because Japan has become fanatical because of its victory over China, its big brother, which has been worshipped for thousands of years. It feels that it is invincible and can defeat any country in the world.

It was precisely because of the fanaticism of Japanese militarism and the desperate spirit of Japanese soldiers that the United States later chose to drop an atomic bomb in Japan in order to reduce sacrifices. Throughout World War II, only Japan had eaten this huge bitter fruit.

Combined with "Goodbye Firefly", the 14-year-old protagonist boy and the 4-year-old sister lost their father because of the war, their mother and home because of the air strikes, and both died because of hunger and illness. It is some crazy people who start the war machine, and it is always ordinary people who suffer in the end.

    The first two hours of the film are absolutely enjoyable for history fans. Although there is too much to talk about, each scene is very short and the dialogue between the characters is also general and simple, but it is completely in line with historical facts. This is satisfying. The military scene is limited by the technological level of the times, and the crew has done the best it can, especially in the AT-6...No, the formation of the 1997 ship attack from the Akagi to Pearl Harbor. It is a pity that the finishing touches were too hasty after the bombing.

    They tried their best to understand each other and achieve restoration, and the depiction of both parties was beyond expectations. It is definitely a precious cultural exchange product.
