too many discrepancies in my opinion

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2001)

Not in any particular order... 1)Japanese carriers were actually american carriers with angle decks in some scenes. 2)After the japanese contacted their spy in pearl harbor, they put the information on a planning board in tokoyo after the ships left. That information would never have gotten to them because the ships were in radio silence. 3)Guided missile cruisers didn't exist then, however enough of them got bombed (Final countdown anyone). 4)Japanese ambassadors were waiting to see the president on Dec. 7th, the movie does not show this which takes away from the message they were delivering. 5)What ever happened to that flight of B-17's that they were expecting? In real life the B-17's showed up during the second wave and most were shot down by american guns. And one problem that I have with what actually happened at pearl harbor and they showed in the movie: All nurses getting purple hearts. The purple heart is for wounds received in combat. Not all nurses were hurt but, they still received purple hearts. There were still a few I missed but, can't think of right now.
