I’m not a substantial war-movie buff any more (THE SEARCH FOR PRIVATE RYAN cured me) but this is a worthwhile film if you have an interest in WWII. TORA! TORA! TORA! is a documentary-type film. Deem of it as a Stephen Ambrose book recorded live. The film is neither a glorified fifties war-film (IN HARMS Map, BATTLE OF THE CORAL SEA), nor is it a Viet Nam noir-war film (PLATOON, THE DEER HUNTER) . (Neither of which are particularly authentic.)
TORA! TORA! TORA! recreates war from the perspective of news correspondent-participant-observer. The epic is presented from both the Japanese and American viewpoints and it is presented like a History Channel film.
It took the film crew several months to film TORA! TORA! TORA! I was living in Navy housing on Pearl Harbor at the time and a number of our friends and acquaintences found part-time jobs acting in the film. “Staunch” military pilots in-between rounds in Viet Nam flew some of the planes (this was 1969) .

Much of the architecture in Honolulu was vintage WWII era or earlier and the rest of the island was relatively unchanged from the 1940s. The terrain looked very worthy as it had when my father-in-law passed through on his scheme to Guadalcanel and later Iwo Jima.
I cannot allege you the names of the aircraft (my husband could) but I was told that they archaic valid aircraft from the period including the P40s the U.S. flew and the captured Zeros the Japanese flew. We drove up to Schoffield Barracks to perceive at the dilapidated airplanes lined up row on row. During the filming, one of these old-fashioned planes crashed in a sugar cane field and burned up before the pilot could be rescued. The daily flights overhead, the genuine crashes, the reenactment of the destruction in the harbor, the daily flights in and out of Hickam as men and material destined for Viet Nam left and wounded and insensible arrived–was all very exclusive.
Well, this is an obliging film. The fresh PEARL HARBOR relies on all sorts of technology, but if you want to recognize how Hawaii really looked in 1941 and how the planes really looked, and how the crews really looked, and gain some sense of how ghastly it was to be in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 this is the film to examine.
I first saw Tora! Tora! Tora! (Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! in Japanese) in 1974, when I was 20 years frail on Atlanta’s Channel Two. As peculiar as this may sound, I have always liked movies about World War II. My stepfather had served in the Navy during the war and in fact he had joined the service shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which is the subject of this 2 hour and 25 minute-long Japanese-American 1970 production.

This movie was directed by several directors including Toshio Masuda and Kinji Fukasuka, but the American version (yes, there is a Japanese version) gives the credit to former director Richard Fleischer. Based on Gordon W. Prange’s “Tora! Tora! Tora!” and Ladislas Farago’s “The Broken Seal”, the film accurately depicts the events on both sides of the Pacific leading up to the graceful attack on the U.S. Pacific Speedy on Sunday, December 7, 1941.

Even though it covers an 18-month period between Admiral Yamamoto’s (Soh Yamamura) initial planning for Operation Hawaii and the attack itself, Tora! Tora! Tora! (the title refers to the code customary to shriek the Japanese that the Americans had been caught by surprise) never drags or seems tiring,. I learned, for instance, that Japanese Ambassador Nomura was a skilled and beneficial diplomat who did not know what his country’s military leaders were planning, and that he hoped to avoid war. I was also stupefied by how General Walter C. Short (Jason Robards) was so preoccupied by the threat of sabotage from Hawaii’s 125,000 Japanese inhabitants that he foolishly parked all the bombers and fighters in Hickam and Wheeler Fields in smart rows, supposedly to acquire them easier to guard but actually making them sitting ducks.
What amazed me about watching this movie is how clueless Pearl Harbor’s defenders were on that Sunday morning. Though many people assume the first shot of the Pacific War was fired by the Japanese, it was actually fired by the USS Ward on a Japanese midget submarine trying to sneak into the harbor. This happened roughly an hour before the first bomb fell on Battleship Row. I would have plan that the relate of an unknown submarine being fired upon in a restricted spot would have alerted the whole posthaste. Outrageous! American officers in Oahu were so definite that the Japanese would be spotted long before they could start a strike that Captain James Earle (Richard Anderson) asks for confirmation before he tells his superiors. This does not earn Adm. Husband E. Kimmel (Martin Balsam) very cheerful and I idea he was very furious that the Ward’s initial picture did not come him in time.
The movie makes sure to the audience that history often hinges on limited but notable details. Who would have understanding that the fate of two colossal nations would be decided by a diplomat’s dull typing bustle, or that a record of a colossal radar blip off to the north of Oahu would be received with the phrase, “Well, don’t wretchedness about it.”? It sounds like awful fiction but everything in this movie is based on historical fact.
Tora! Tora! Tora! has extraordinary battle scenes. Most of the aerial scenes were shot using either vintage planes or realistic replicas (because there are no flying Zero fighters, T-28 Texans were modified to spy like the celebrated Japanese planes) . The Navy actually allowed 20th Century-Fox to film in and around Pearl Harbor and rented a World War II era carrier that was to be decommissioned to back as a stand in for the Japanese carrier. Clever editing, expedient limited effects and carefully built live action sets give the illusion that one is actually reliving the Day of Infamy.
