Only for the romantics out there...

Rating: Null/10 (26 April 2002)

If you've read even 5 of the reviews here, you'll know by now that this film is NOT as historically accurate as scholars would like for it to have been. So, if you want historical accuracy and would like to know how the battle really happened, go rent "Tora! Tora! Tora!", which was done in 2 halves: the American view as directed by Richard Fleischer; and the Japanese view, put into the hands of Kinji Fukasaku and Toshio Masuda. However, if you don't care about historical accuracy and are looking for a romance set in a perilous time, then this movie is for you. You will be absorbed by the triangle of affections that takes place and the plot-twists that come about throughout the scenes. This Film Is Not For Everyone, so decide which category you belong in before you spend the money on it.
Oh, and all you wives and girlfriends who think this would make a good Father's Day Present... think again. If your significant other is more interested in Facts than Fiction, buying him this movie won't make him smile. Buying him "Tora!Tora!Tora!" will.
