Drama about life in the Army in the days prior to World War II. Shows the effect of Army discipline on an individualistic former boxing champion who defies the attempts of officers and men to break him when he refuses to fight on the company's boxing team. Includes actual scenes of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. And Burt at the beach.
Epic treatment of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the attack on the naval base. And Patricia Neal!
A dramatization which chronicles the bombing of Pearl Harbor from both the Japanese and American points of view.
The above summaries do a great job of describing the dynamics of the love triangle that develops between the two pilots that fall in love with the same nurse. The movie also does a credible job of displaying the war from the American side with FDR and our side. It also shows the strategy of Japan as they plan for and execute all facets of the attack on Pearl Harbor. While all details may not be historically correct, I believe that they do the job well - all things considered. Historic events that were altered were probably done so in an attempt to also make this movie the entertaining epic that it is.
After the Pearl Harbor Attack in 1941, 100,000 Japanese living in the United States were forced to move to concentration camps. With family stories and some documentaries, videomaker Tajiri describes the haunting impacts of this ordeal on American Japanese for generations thereafter.
