The shock of history comes from seriousness

I have only watched 5 historical films of this grade. There are also General Patton from the United States, Stalingrad from the Soviet Union, the domestically produced battle and the Opium War. From historical facts, the new version of Pearl Harbor is just a joke, and the theme of the grand war is far beyond the comparison of ordinary personal hero movies. I missed the Cold War period, this kind of film is out of fashion, and there may be no new ones. It is regrettable. Our country has such rich historical resources, but it would be too tainted to shoot some Chibi like this.

The BBC said: “The immortal achievement of the film lies in the impartial depiction of brave and capable Japanese soldiers.” The scene of worshipping God before takeoff made me even think that it is reasonable to visit the Yasukuni Shrine. Soldiers, wars and war criminals should be distinguished.

    One of the most classic war films in my childhood, compared to the later copy-selling "Pearl Harbor", this kind of documentary showing a series of actions of both Japan and the United States before and after the incident in a panoramic manner seems to have a much weaker visual impact, but it is not. Can make people think more about Pearl Harbor incident.

    When the title emphasizes "the film has a historical basis", you know how boring this film should be. The form of the US-Japan co-production seems to play a de-ideological role, but the creators have forgotten that movies and even documentaries are the products of ideology, so this form can only cause one result: "There are only facts, no ideas. ". The anti-militarist remark at the end is so weak that it can't even function as a slogan.
