A pretty good film that portrays the attack with a high level of historical accuracy. (much better than "Pearl Harbor") It was a brilliant decision to make the film using both American and Japanese production teams working separately; this really achieves two "looks" and aids in highlighting the different mindsets from the two nations. The only sins of the movie are those of ommision; the results of the attack, while horrible in loss of life, were not nearly as bad as initially thought. The loss of eight largely obsolete battleships and dozens of aged aircraft forced the US Navy to change to aircraft carrier tactics that would ultimatley win the Pacific war. This was not obvious at the end of the film, but then again that wasn't the intent anyway.
It is difficult to watch the death and destruction of our fleet, especially since I'm a Navy veteran. The USS Arizona Memorial is among the most somber,teary-eyed places that I've ever been.
