Thibault Derese Yamato believed he could get the US to the negotiating table, if his full plan was executed. That means the third wave had been launched and was successful against the repair depots and the above-ground fuel storage tanks. Pearl would have been unusable as a refuelling and repair base for years, if the third wave was successful. That would have cut off every American/Allied base west and Australia, from Mainland US support until 1943 at the earliest. Both Midway and Guadalcanal would have fallen in that scenario, because everything would have been put towards rebuilding and safeguarding Pearl from invasion or another attack, and we lose the listening posts that intercepted Japanese communications in the Far East.

T D it’s actually a very, very, old saying/belief, that dates back to before the unification of the Greek city-states. Hitler was also a methhead by the beginning of the war, so any sayings attributed to him, after that point, have to be taken with a grain of salt. As likely it was Gobbels just spreading more propaganda to make, corporal hitler, appear as a (military) genius to his followers.

“We’ve had one, yes. What about second romance?” “Don’t think he knows about second romance, Pip.”

And one of the most memorable scenes in Tora Tora Tora happened completely by accident. When the Japanese fighters are attacking the airfields, it was a somewhat windy day when they were filming, and one of the radio-controlled P40s got blown sideways and started heading toward the camera crew, so they blew it up prematurely. And in a completely unscripted occurrence, the prop came off and started cartwheeling across the runway.

Here's an explanation of NC's rant. Not everyone could swim at Pearl Harbor. What Doug was so angry about was the fact that Michael Bay didn't properly show the issue. He explains this in an editorial, I forget which, where he compares it to Titanic where the problems caused by the lack of enough lifeboats was shown and explained unlike here where it's a throwaway line by one random guy. Titanic respected the titular event enough to show the smaller problems and how they caused more deaths unlike Bay who more or less used Pearl Harbor as a way of filling seats with people looking for a romance set against a tragedy like Titanic. Doug was angry and couldn't put his thoughts into words but that's what he meant by that.

I personally hate this movie. I wrote a three-page long review for History class describing all the ways I hate this movie and why it was so terrible. ... If I could direct my own version of this to correct all of the mistakes, for starters, I would cut out the romance entirely. Bye-bye, stupid love interest, stupid cliches, and just STUPID! Then, I would have the prologue show the boys planning to join the military in their youth, one wanting to be a pilot and one wanting to be a member of the Navy. I would choose likeable actors and give them likable personalities and quirks that would make them more relatable to the audience, along with drives for joining the army. I wouldn't make these characters the best in their particular group, just average or slightly above. I'd have them be separated for training them have them reunite when they' were both stationed in Pearl Harbor. I would give the Japanese fighters respectful portrayal and honestly describe their reasons for the attack, not demonizing or villainizing them. I would station the friend in the Navy on the Utah or Nevada, so that when the attack came (showing what actually happened, no images of American innocence dying or lies, just facts and accurate representation of the tragedy), he could be one of the soldiers trapped in the sunken wreckage. A good portion of the movie could go to AirForce guy demanding the government to save Navy guy only to be faced with the fact that nothing could be done to save his friend from the wreckage, and Navy Guy's thoughts and experiences while trapped in the wreckage before his death. I would dedicate the first half of the movie to this, along with character development and development of the relationship between these two childhood friends who took different paths to achieve different roles. The AirForce guy, after the death of his friend, would sign up for the air-raids, go and attack Japan with revenge on the mind, then have a crisis when he realizes that he's doing to them exactly what they did to him. He'd crash, get captured by the Japanese, and nearly get killed before the Chinese arrive. The movie would end with an elderly version of AirForce guy visiting a memorial to those who died at Pearl Harbor, running a hand over Navy Guy's name. No words, no music, no evidence of the life this man has lived since Pearl Harbor (romance, family, flashbacks), just silence and facial expressions on the mourners. End the movie on a quiet, respectful note that leaves an impression of how the tragedy still hurts and affects people today. ... I know I sound preachy and these changes may suck, but hey: at least it wouldn't suck as much as this. Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to go and rant somewhere about how much Transformers 3 sucked.

My father had a good friend who was in the army during Vietnam. His job was to train the drafted soldiers for battle. One day one of his boys fell off the boat with his pack on. When he didn’t pop up he had to go in and get him. He found him on the bottom of the lake walking toward the shore with the pack still on. When he pulled him back onto the boat he found out the recruit couldn’t swim. He looked at his entire group and asked “how many of you can’t swim?” To which over half raised their hands. Soldiers and sailors who couldn’t swim were a real problem at one time. But this is a bigger issue Michael Bay simply glossed over by having the one guy yell “I can’t swim” when the ship was going down. That’s the point we should discuss

Actually, the guy brushing his teeth was a very clever scene. It shows us how unprepared people were for the attack, the guy was near naked when it hit and ran outside rather than follow correct military protocol because they were so complacent and relaxed about a potential threat. Scenes like this DID happen during the actual Pearl Harbour attack. Its good use of the visual medium to 'show, don't tell' and a lot better than having someone step outside and have a five minute soliloquy explaining the fact that they were unprepared for the attack in a bland monotone, like what would have happened in had Shymalan directed this movie.

mach6247 I agree with you, but I'm still undecided about who's the best live action Batman.

My grandfather was a Merchant Marine for decades, from the 40's - 70's, and he didn't know how to swim. It's been 20 years, we can have someone make an accurate film of it again. My brother always said it was a story about how the Japanese bombed a love triangle.

"How close are those Japanese planes again?!" Pulls out the map. Priceless moment! I saw this movie when I had just turned 16, during which the film was having its last run in theaters (bizarrely, just over one week before 9-11 happened) while two other contenders that I saw weeks apart, JURASSIC PARK III and Tim Burton's PLANET OF THE APES remake, were still having their day at the box office. With the exception of the dogfights and Pearl Harbor sequences - and being the hormonally charged teenager and aerial warcraft fan, I was fond of such while only getting an inkling of what makes a good film work, I was quite naturally at the edge of my seat - I didn't really think the rest was so hot, and it would be years before I would recognize how an even bigger piece of shit it was than when I first saw it. Although, strangely, there were a few things I liked about it apart from the action: Josh Hartnett as Danny actually turned out to be a WAY better actor than Ben Affleck and I WAS moved by his final scene, and some of the Hans Zimmer music was good (I at one point got the soundtrack on CD). Also, you have to realize at that point that there was a resurgence of classic Hollywood themes going on at the time, notably historic romance and WWII epics, and it's pretty clear that this movie was attempting to fuse the elements of films like FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, TORA! TORA! TORA! and THIRTY SECONDS OVER TOKYO (a number of which I happened to watch on Turner Classic Movies before and after seeing PEARL HARBOR). Even more interesting, later in May 2002 (after 9-11 when airport security was beefed up and military barricades thrown up at the terminals), I actually visited the REAL Pearl Harbor with my family as part of a Mother's Day vacation to Hawaii. My old man and I visited the actual dock where the Arizona memorial was. We were told that we could take pictures of the memorial and out-of-service destroyer and submarine exhibits, but not the contemporary destroyers because of the 9-11 war (the military personnel didn't want to risk any of their technologies being compromised by tourists I supposed). I even picked up a book titled PEARL HARBOR IN THE MOVIES by Ed Rampell and Luis I. Reyes, which also covered Michael Bay's film among the countless movies made following the attack (a large number of which were filmed at Pearl Harbor itself) and was actually published in May 2001 to coincide with its release (complete with plot synopsis and spoilers). But this book turned out to be FAR more accurate and entertaining than the film itself, to say the least. Speaking of which, I noticed something very interesting that this shit movie and the vastly better, criminally underrated and far more historically accurate TORA! TORA! TORA! have in common (not so sure that it's just me): the Japanese scenes before and during the Pearl Harbor attack actually have more REAL drama than the American scenes!!! Also, just love the dramatized re-enactments climaxing with "PORN IT!" 🤣

The historical accuracies, characters and how actual civilians(a flight teacher)saw the Japanese invasion an hour before the actual attack instead of symbolism of America's innocence was better and an explanation on why America was so unprepared(tl;dr no one believed an attack would happen even after the mounting evidence of an attack.)

That was a badass movie

I swear that rant never gets old. It's one of my all time favorite NC moments, along with his Avatar rant. One serious rant, one comedic rant. Yes I know there were people in the army stationed at sea and in the navy that couldn't in fact swim (due to necessity for soldiers and all that) but people need to stop using that excuse to try and say the rant is bs. That wasn't the point of the rant nor the focus, it was the trigger. The firing on hospitals proves that. Also Is it just me or we're new skits added? I swear those Michael bay skits weren't in the Pearl Harbor video last time it was uploaded...

Wait a bloody minute, when they crash land at 34:39, where are the other crew members, you don't mean to tell me that the only survivors were the pilots, what about the gunners or the navigator or the flight engineer, at least the tail gunner would have a better chance of surviving the crash than the pilots.

Blue Baron the Imperial Japanese Navy scenes were arguably really good too. Just a shame they even got some of the historical details wrong, like the Zeroes in late war colors and Yamamoto being with the carriers except he was actually in the Sea of Japan at the time of the attack.

To be fair The Rock is actually one good movie Michael Bay directed. Unfortunately, i dont believe that he'll ever make a good movie again...

24:25 It is and was surprisingly common for sailors not to be able to swim, perhaps the most horrific example of this is Russia's Second Pacific Squadron. Russia had very few ports that wouldn't freeze during the winter. The Baltic, where the squadron was based, does freeze. Most sailors came from non coastal cities where swimming was just something that few people did. Navy's also didn't tend to teach swimming as its not a useful skill for fighting at sea, where that sailor would be aboard a ship, unless that ship was no longer capable of fighting at which point that sailor wasn't very necessary to win the battle. Even in major navies today it isnt unheard of to have sailors who cant swim. Also its not a battlecruiser its a battleship, the US navy didnt posses a battlecruiser until the Alaska was launched later in the war

How was that scene great? It was one of the most cliche scenes in the movie. "FDR is told that something he wants to do is impossible, so he does the impossible and SHOCKS THEM ALL". It made me cringe so hard when I first saw it, even more then some of the other scenes.

Random Name FDR could still stand up quite easily in 1941. The scene was just another Micheal Bay “America! Fuck Yeah” moment. FDR and his aides were actually able to hide his polio-based disability even past the late war federal election, because he could stand with his custom made(and inside of the pants) leg braces, and the US press actively helped hide the truth from the public. The US press was fully complicit, the entire time FDR was president, in hiding his Polio induced disability. Imagine the entire US media acting like Fox News today regarding Trump.

24:20 - Sadly, it is true that some sailors with the US Navy at that time did not know how to swim. Many of them had been drafted from areas of the USA far from coastlines or lakes, and in any case it was anticipated if their ship came in danger of sinking they'd have lifejackets or craft available to them. There are several historical accounts of these men drowning in the many sinkings and shipwrecks which befell US Navy ships during WWII.

“ but I passed you, and now you’re gonna go fly on a dangerous mission?” “ well... yeah you passed me so I could be a pilot.”

"Someone who's in the military and serves on a battleship can't swim?!" I dunno, maybe he ate a devil fruit.

The hair flipping part killed me

23:48 Not only that, but all the Japanese pilots were throughly instructed in which buildings not to engage at Pearl Harbor, ESPECIALLY the Hospitals and Civilian centers. They were there for military targets, not civilian. So yeah, Michael Bay really disgustedly insulted every single person who was at Pearl Harbor, even the Japanese.

Destitute and Decadent watched this “film” on Netflix back in February last year and I really wanted to stop watching it multiple times, but I figured I should finish it. That was one of the worst mistakes of my life. I hated this “movie” everyone is a selfish a hole, the man is lying to be near the woman, the kid blackmails the man when he finds out the truth, the kid has to deal with bullies because he is living his mom’s dream of singing even though he can’t sing, the mom is a jerk for forcing her kid to sing. The Room was a better film than this garbage!! I have warned people to stay away from this and some have actually heeded my warning. While other have found out the hard way how bad it is. I went into watching this thinking it was going to be about a man who is going to be a dad and suddenly starts to imagine a kid that isn’t there to sort of prepare him to be a dad.
