This fiction would be more interesting if the Japs had a sneak attack on Hollywood, with love affairs as a main theme

Rating: 1/10 (31 August 2019)

I just can't believe that there would be a legitimate, Hollywood movie with decent actors, expensive special effects - the works - that could be such a gross and reckless distortion of one of the most tragic moments in the history of America. Lousy acting, lousy writing, absurd directing and apparently all done with an attitude of "oh, what the hell. Why even bother following the facts, the truth and events if it interferes with with this love story that's contrived, anyway." The director actually had Jap planes flying low between ships, with sailors on both ships firing deck weapons horizontally at the Japs. Which also meant the sailors were strafing each other. Absolutely no thought to such simple things as this.
I was able to visit Pearl Harbor, including Ford Island, a few years back. My DVD of "Tora, Tora, Tora!!!" had finally worn out. ( I saw the movie when it came out back in the 1970s. ) The Visitor Center had sold out. But I did get a copy at the gift shop on Ford Island.
Neither one even had a slot on the rack among other relevant DVDs for this abomination.
