Watch “Tora! Tora! Tora!” if you want a classic (and good) war movie about the Bombing of Pearl Harbor. It’s three hours long though, with most of it as setup, so be prepared.

The things this movie got right: 1. We were attacked at Pearl Harbor 2. The Arizona did sink 3. A Flight of 16 US Army Air Corps B-25 bombers did perform a raid on Tokyo by flying off the deck of the USS Hornet (the 17th Bombardment Group originally out of Oregon) 4. Petty Officer Second Class Doris Miller (Cuba Gooding's character) was real and did take up a anti-aircraft gun position during the battle.

Both of my grandparents were Pearl Harbor survivors. My grandfather was in the navy and heard the continuous ringing of a church bell that morning. He saw the planes in the sky and ran on foot to his navy ship. He said he ran through a large field and could see the pilots grinning at him while trying to shoot him because they were so close to the ground. My grandmother went with her two sons into an underground tunnel and witnessed the USS Arizona sinking before she went in the tunnel. My grandparents didn’t know if each other had survived for 6 weeks.

The ship that blew up at 23:52 was the USS Arizona. Of the 1,512 people onboard when the Arizona exploded 1,177 of them died. I'm planning to travel to pearl harbor next year in July to pay my respects to those lost their lives. May all those poor souls rest in peace 😔

USS Arizona(BB-39) Accounts For Close To ½ The Casualties From December 7!!

A good movie about Pearl Harbor that is historically accurate is Tora, Tora, Tora. You should watch that movie sometime.

Funny Story: Back when this came out on VHS my sister was working at Blockbuster and had a disgruntled coworker pull one of the funniest stunts I've seen. He found out that morning he was being let go at the end of his shift so he spent the entire shift checking out the hordes of excited customers looking for Pearl Harbor. You see, Pearl Harbor is a 3 hour movie and VHS copies of film usually got about 90 minutes of good quality footage, but it can be extended to 2 hours with lower quality. Anyways, suffice to say Pearl Harbor came with 2 90 minute VHS cassettes. This coworker spent his shift making sure he gave everyone doubles of the same VHS. That way they would be at home watching the new Josh Hartnett movie and are devastated to watch the attack on Pearl Harbor, and when they go to watch the exciting conclusion it's just Pearl Harbor being attacked again. Or maybe folks would get part 2 and be a little confused why we are starting with a Japanese victory and the aftermath of Pearl Harbor, only to reach the end and wonder why the main actors are dead halfway through and then the credits roll. Honestly one of the funniest yet shittiest tricks ever IMO. I have no idea about the complete aftermath, all I know is my sister and her co-workers spent the next week fielding refunds and angry customers. So kind of a dick move on his part.

War veterans saw this and they got really pissed off at Michael Bay for turning a real world tragic event into a love story, as well as being inaccurate.

“I guess Pearl Harbor sucked, just a little more, than i miss you.”

The definite movie about Pearl Harbor remains "Tora! Tora! Tora!" from 1970 (the same year "Patton" came out, which you already reacted to). It was a US-Japanese co-production with two entirely seperate crews (under directors Richard Fleischer and Toshio Masuda/Kinji Fukasaku respectively), each covering one of the opposing sides, both given about equal screentime. Its way more historicall accurate than this one. The 2001-Film has enjoyable action, is undoubtly well made and certainly looks good, and features a great Score by Hans Zimmer. And I really like the preperation scenes showing both sides preparing for war (having Mako (who would go on voicing General Iroh in the first two seasons of "Avatar: The last Airbender" before passing away) as Admiral Yamamoto certainly helps). But it would have been better off if it had concentrated on the War more and ditched the Love Triagle.

I used to really like this film but iv come to realise why everyone doesnt like it. it really is only good for the action, the love story isn't good at all and doesn't make sense and the amount of historical inaccuracies too, not to mention how our main characters fought in Europe (well only one did), defended Pearl Harbour AND attacked Japan in the Doolittle raid? nah

I think it’s because everyone wants a movie where the good guys win. That’s why so much if this movie focuses on AFTER the Pearl Harbor attack. You really need to dedicate the whole movie to the attack, and then it’s hard to have a movie with a happy ending.

My high school librarian was in Pearl Harbor.

The easiest way to describe how the movie is is the very beginning of the movie up when its all happy then goes to shit

It drags on with a 3 hour runtime, and only 1 of those 3 hours actually is the Attack on Pearl Harbor.

The part where Alec Baldwin informs Rafe about being accepted into the Eagle Squadron never happened. In real life, he would have to leave the USAAC and live as private citizen in Canada then train for the RCAF before being shipped to Britain. When he shows at the British airfield wearing his officers pink and green, he would’ve violated the US’s neutrality. Lastly, the markings for the aircraft are wrong and are that of Polish squadrons.

Act of valor and tears of the sun are all Great War movies too.

"Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you!" Que piano medley

It’s both a war movie and a love story and it’s a great movie

So yeah..this is a movie and not a documentary. I LOVED history class throughout high school and no I don’t really remember a lot of details anymore, lol. However, this movie is and will forever be one of my favourite movies along with “Titanic”. Key word earlier being MOVIE. It’s history mixed with a love story--my MOVIE weakness. It’s not that we movie lovers are trying to belittle/glamourise actual events…there are documentaries available for more accurate facts. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I forgot this movie existed. But yea the “romance” plot or whatever is pretty lame, I think the only part I liked of this movie was when the harbor is attacked and they fight back. Everything else is just kind of meh

This movie pulled a “Hunger games”, it’s supposed to be a war tragedy, but they turned it into a spectacle where one woman plays with the heart strings of 2 best friends since birth, basically brothers.

You'd love the movie Red Tails

The song from Team America is all anyone needs to review this movie.

I know a lot about History, world traveled, visited all 50 States, before I was 36. I did not serve, valid health issues, yet my Dad (Cold War, USAF) and other relatives and friends have or are in our Military service. (I’m 54 years) One of the first things that annoyed me, seeing this film 20 years past in cinema: the open montage on “the war” - there is a clip of a US Sherman tank, firing, end of the street, a very distinctive two towered Cathedral…in Koln/Cologne Germany where our military would not reach and fight until Spring 1945…I know Koln, several visits - and, the montage verbal goes on about the War staring in 1939…Which moron didn’t research their film clips??? The two boys, in youth, and the red plane at the farm…the plane would have been cloth and wood structure not metal, if the boys who turn into the “Heroes” in 1941, few metal planes like that in the early 1930’s. The actual pilots who did get off the airfield near Pearl Harbor, and did Ariel-combat with the Japanese, their names and skills are known -not these two! Cuba G’s character was real, noted and heroic!! General Doolittle, President F.D.R. and some others are real… And, as a blood doner, 98 pints of O+, if you donate blood,…you can feel fine, if you are used to doing - I tried to mow my lawn in an Ohio summer after donating, I had to stop, half the yard; you are cautioned not to stress, after. These Guys, take a pint out, I’m going out to the wrecked fleet and save the day… Yes, I have some issues with this film. Visit actual Pearl Harbor. Visit battlefields, and military cemeteries. Donate blood if you are able. Serve in military, if you are able. I was annoyed by Michael Bay’s film, I have avoided all his other efforts.

You have to react to this movie called tron.

If anything its a tragic love story For a half decent little known Cuba Gooding Jr film you should check out Gladiator (1992) and for probably his best role Men of Honour (2000)

I love this movie its one of my faves ❤

This is one of the dumbest films i ever watched, but one good thing it did was nail the tone of the attack. The shock, awe, grief, sorrow, desperation, etc was done fairly well actuality. Just not very accurate historically

It's a bad, overly dramatic, historically inaccurate film is what it is. If you want to see a much better film about the attack on Pearl Harbor, watch _Tora! Tora! Tora!_ (1970).

It’s such a bad movie with one of the greatest war scenes lol

This movie is nonsense, you come way from it thinking the US won at Pearl. Good movie about Peral Harbour attack is Tora Tora Tora

Hey man check out the movie Black Rain (1989) by Ridley Scott It is an underrated gem Like his magnum opus.

Battleships at the time was named after the US States many returned to service, repaired and upgraded excluding two; Arizona and Oklahoma. This movie was filmed at my home city for the funeral scene and for the launching of B-25 Bombers and Japanese planes. Should check out Midway (2019) that ones a enjoyable watch.

Bro why are you watching the worst old movies?😂 You got so many classics see. Here are a few: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966) Cool Hand Luke (1967) A Clockwork Orange (1971) Papillon (1973) The Sting (1973) One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)

Say what you want about the movie but I love this movie.

Betrayal of our men. Ever had someone else take credit for your work? assigned blame for someone else's wrong? That's the best thing you can say about this movie. Shamefully denies the REAL heroes 23 year old George Welch of Delaware and 21 year old Kenneth Taylor of Oklahoma, did NOT grow up together, neither volunteered for RAF. Btw Americans who did volunteer, on pain of arrest by FBI returning to America NOT assigned or encouraged, like my great uncle, not just had to become Canadians, passport all in case capture, but hide different accent if any. They actually trained in Canada before hopping over, including a couple of women(Canadian/British relatives who flew as Wrens, so short of male pilots we had to use women even boys, youngest 13, to fly our builds across to Britain). Nitpicking? No. Why REMOVE the heroics of real men? real patriots and their families? Even our sons complained Hollywood must've AVOIDED researching the story too. Since 1993 our Secrecy Act Records released, American historians too revising our history, FDR LIED and hid behind Generals and Admirals blameless as shamed and humiliated(one suicide) as scapegoats. The CIA, OSS back then, actually we asked the British to help us create, James Bond author Ian Fleming and his Canadian spies, no joke. The tapes released, everything in Oval Office recorded by Law(or supposed to be, Watergate), FDR and his psychophant Bush(no relation) KNEW the letter from Japan's Emperor himself ACCEEDED to ALL our demands a week BEFORE Pearl. 40 year old HIrohito actually siding with the Peace Party Prime Minister Konoye AGAINST the militarists, rarely risked 'ordering' them to postpone war until his personal plea to FDR was known. FDR and Bush kept hiding the letter, and NEVER admitted its existence even after opening it. It was WE, 13 times we attacked, invaded and usurped control for our puppets (Nicaragua Samoza family didn't even speak Spanish fluently), WITHOUT declaration of war or warning. 1940, farcically Japanese allowed our American mercenary pilots like famous Pappy Boyington into China as Mormon Missionaries no less. OUR mercenary pilots, German commanded ironically, planned and led the Christmas Day, 1940 raid on the Japanese fleet AND civilians buildings at Shanghai, China. They had already noted American Revolutionary AMBUSH of loyalists and British during the Revolutionary War catching their officers and soldiers on Christmas Truce, literally at dinner even with Revolutionary Officers on Truce. The very same Philadelphia Publishers of American History Schoolbooks published Canadian we also taught yet American omitted such things. Doolittle himself after his one-way land bomber raid from carrier decks on Japan, only his crew surviving, actually escaped because the Japanese took the word of an American Christian Priest allowing him to get back to British Empire and home as heroe. That also propaganda. Turns out we bombed a Catholic School, the Royal Family sent its kids too, and hospital killing 53 teachers and students, priest and nuns, and 51 medical staff and patients. Though fact in Japan, we teachers, especially foreign ESL, forbidden to teach as ANYTHING about what they call the East Asian and Pacific Wars. Ironically Nagasaki had the largest Christian population and with Hiroshima one the largest Korean and Taiwan(Formosa then) immigration ports.(atom bombs). I wish i were making this up. Its why the most adamant anti-Jap S Koreans join Japan and side with Formosans calling America War Criminals and Crimes Against Humanity. But back to the movie. 1. Disrespecting ACTUAL heroes omitting, replacing them. 2. UnHistorical, not just known before 1970 film facts. 1993 FDR illegally kept from his Ultra List that Churchill too knew the Japanese targets and dates too. The Japanese are taught NOTHING of the history of the war but what we rewrote their history books. MOST of the actors in this movie in fact British and Canadian, not American even. Only Mako was born in Japan admittedly knew nothing of Japanese side of the war. 3. Shame on Dan Aykroyd, a colleague a classmate of his in school up in Canada clearly recalls behing taught the actual fact we both provoked the war, not just embargo and blockade but freezing all international assets, but FDR and his inner circle and Churchill knew Pearl was to be attacked. We WANTED any old ships sunk there where we could raise them again instead of out at sea where anything sunk gone forever. The attack was inspired by the British HUGE victory at Italian Fleet, Taranto, but the Italians raising and repairing them in the shallow. Our carriers(never without capital ship escort except here) were actually out, the ACTUAL targets at Pearl; with extra planes reinforcing Midway and Wake anticipating spotting the Japs further south AND the ONLY 3 days outside Pearl so they couldn't be sunk. We said coincidence. Why do i care? Hypocrisy. If its wrong for enemy leaders to lie to push their people to war with us, must be other way around too. Thanks to my husband we no longer teach in China, but they have been teaching not just facts but lies too pushing for war with us upcoming. By teaching these 'documented' facts in school and to their military, we still hiding them, only hurts us more, like 40% of Americans STILL believe the Bush/Cheney Osama-Saddam and Atomic Bomb lies making the 2nd Gulf War illegal and war crime no different than we hung even German and Japanese peace party and underground seeking our help. Its not just Henry Kissinger (Vietnam and 'black ops' couldn't travel even through many nations allied to us wanted as 'war criminals', but today the 2nd Gulf War. It MATTERS to me, even pacificist, that we not start wrong wars, but also we honour our veterans and we their families who love and respect them more today too. This 'toxic masculinity' utterly disgusts me, and like I said, I'm a pacificist. Our military deserves better. Our forefathers suffered and died, our grandmothers worried and heartbroken, must NOT be for nothing. i was actually briefly in military, only for college, until my full ride female sport scholarship came through. My husband was military intel, and history researcher. We both scientist educators. I go with him every year to honor our veterans, and we might have every WW2 war movie ever made. Not just Kelly's Heroes and the Dirty Dozen, but Bridge over the River Kwai, Tora Tora Tora, Midway etc. Having lived and taught around the world over 40 years, he's shown me how propaganda is all our enemy'.

Is it a war movie or a love story? Neither, it's a cinematic bowel movement. Before seeing this film, I had never walked out of a movie in my life. If I pay for a movie ticket, good or bad, I stay all the way through. But this vile p.o.s. was the exception. I was so disgusted by the tidal wave of stupidity in this movie, that I walked out. This movie COMPLETELY depended on special effects to carry it. The acting, the directing and in particular the writing are abysmal. It is talentless hack movie-making at its worst. "The Room" is so bad, it's funny. "Plan 9" is a joke. "Pearl Harbor" was just BAD.

Love Story easy, it was the most overrated battle in history

The love story wasn't even any good. The two leading men are the exact same character. No wonder she's ambivalent. It's also very inappropriate.

Another thing to think about.. This movie was released a few months before 9/11. And DVD release a little before Christmas. I couldn't afford movies before 911 cuz my husband was in boot camp actually, and then literally right after he was deployed. I saw this movie after he got his deployment so it's always been very emotional. Now it's just nostalgic cuz I'm divorced

I'll never forget when i saw this on DVD for the first time, it really was an audiovisual feast back then.

@@AthenaAthena It's nice to say it is just a movie but a historical event this important should not be fictionalized. I am a history professor and all too often I have had students tell me they learned a lot about Pearl Harbor by watching this movie. I always disabuse them of this notion by pointing out that they know less about it now than before they watched this hideous film. If he wanted to make a fictional version, the title should have been different.

@robin3307 I don't agree with y'all at all. Also, that's a chance to educate younger generations on movies. Let them know that a lot of movies that reference historical events have creative liberties in them.

decent movie bro. not the best but you gotta see it just to say ive seen it if you know what i mean

Great movie

Always felt bad for Afflecks character him coming back to find out his girl is dating his friend after he’s presumed dead. I wouldn’t even know how to begin to process that

Love this movie remember watching it first time in middle in class what a movie

This is easily one of the best movies ever, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this movie because this is my mother’s favorite movie, we probably watched it together hundreds of times, she still has the hard cover disk case to this day. Thank you for the reaction to it.

The movie is bad. I'm sorry. When Affleck is asked by his friend what is going on, and he responds, "I think World War II just started," I can say there are at least two problems in that line. First, the war had been going on for two years. Second, it was not called World War II at that time. I can also point out that women in the military could not wear makeup on duty (unlike Pearl Harbor, the movie) and no medical person was killed in the attack since the Japanese made it a point to avoid the hospital. I could go on and on.

@@robin3307 I respect your opinion.

In spite of some cringe dialogue I actually like this movie. The attack scenes are horrifying and made me understand the reality of that day more than I ever had before. It was my parents 9/11 in that it made them truly realize their world was no longer safe.
