Disgusting

Rating: 6/10 (4 June 2001)

This movie goes beyond disappointing, and is downright disgusting. A friend of mine who was a history major laughed all the way through it. It tried to show the Japanese as the "honorable enemy" who regretted their attack, but thought it was necessary. Ha! The movie did not show all the motivation behind everything. We showed that the US intended to block oil shipments, but not why. We did it because Japan had invaded China (which was apparent at the end of the movie, but the link wasn't made clear). Does anyone really think the Japanese didn't want this attack? If they wanted a fight, why not call us out and face us down? It was a low-life dirty attack, and the writer should be fined for presenting such a ridiculously "politically correct" joke such as this.
Oh, but the hour-long massacre of men, women, and children had great special effects.
