@@randomrazr Pearl Harbor - 2001, Affleck, Hartnett, and Beckinsale. While there are some good scenes, it's less a war movie and more a melodramatic love triangle with a war playing in the background and it's way to long. The more recent Midway is a better movie in my opinion.
@@freddyg1769 Who? Admiral Yamamoto? You had to understand he was under pressure because the navy ministry was being pressured by prime minister and general Hideki Tojo. The then ex-Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro already lost the way to contain the Land Army as they already occupied majority of the cabinet, even the Navy Ministry is filled with pro army people with Adminral Yamamoto as Vice minister of the Navy becoming the only one inside the navy ministry that opposes the war, the only allies he had (during this time) outside the ministry is Shigenori Togo the Foreign minister. So in this backdrop do you know what Yamamoto did? He become the commander of the combined fleet to escape assassination from the pro-army people (people who support Togo). Outside of all of this, Keisuke Okada the old ex-Prime Minister and Ex-Navy Minister, to somehow expel Togo and their cronies from the cabinet. as to help Yamamoto for being able to return to the mainland as the Cabinet member (which he half failed since later Yamamoto died in air battle), but succeeded kicking Togo and their pro war cronies out of cabinet in 1944, after this Shigenori Togo pushed for surrender with the Allies, it didn't work really well, until Konoe Fumimaro met with the Emperor and the Emperor still fond of the army, reject it but will think about it. After all of this, there are shift in the direction of the war, 6 people are appointed by the emperor to direct the war while also prevent the collapse of the government because now the anti war faction has grown large enough to destabilize the cabinet. the composition of the member is 2 pro war and 4 anti war Prime Minister, Admiral Kantaro Suzuki (Anti War) Minister of Foreign Affairs Shigenori Togo (Anti War) Minister of the Army, General Korechika Amami (Pro War) Minister of the Navy, Admiral Mitsumasa Yonai (Anti War) Chief of the Army General Staff, General Yoshijiro Umezu (Pro War) Chief of the Navy General Staff, Admiral Koshiro Oikawa (Anti War) later replaced with Admiral Suemu Toyoda (Anti War) Do you notice something? Each and every Navy Admirals was anti war the same as Yamamoto, but he was pushed around by the now Ex-Prime Minister Hideki Tojo with the blessing of the Emperor, since they are already in deep trouble, they can't pull out. They had to clean the crap The Army created, they were pushed to war not because they choose to go to war, but because The Army is filled with people who can't think really far, yet people from the army managed to occupy several strategic Cabinet Position, including the position of Prime Minister, as if it's not enough, The Emperor had a falling out with Ex-Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro and become to trust Prime Minister Hideki Tojo for everything that is war related. Yamamoto know if he just followed the direction of the Army, the Navy will just slaughtered wholesale, so he had to do the attack on Hawaii or the southern force will be a failure of humongous proportion with the death of Japanese Conscript in a Hundred of thousands. The Navy, or in this case, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, can be said a victim of circumstances, he can not quit or be passive or he will be eliminated or assassinated by the army, not only that, if he did nothing the army will just do more stupid war plan and kill more soldier in a stupid decision.

Billy Mitchell was brash and opinionated, but in 1925, he correctly predicted that the Japanese would attack Pearl. That's right, 99 years ago he wrote a book and described how it would be carried out.
The Japanese saw the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm attack at Taranto in Nov 1940 where the Italian Navy sustained serious damage in its anchorage as clear proof that the Pearl Harbor attack could succeed.
Amazing unless you read that how he actually saw Pearl Harbor being attacked by Land planes and he thought carriers lacked ability. But go ahead and keep calling him a visionary while literally having zero knowledge of his actual writings outside what other people quite while omitting a bunch. So yes, he predicted it but no it didn't happen at all like he thought
It’s wasn’t breaking the 4th wall. That general was very on record about not wanting Japan to attack and piss off the sleeping giant that was the US. They ignored him and, essentially, sent him and his men on a suicide mission to Pearl Harbor. Pretty sure he committed suicide close to the end of the war.
that's why tora tora tora is the best. told from both american and japanese perspectives. directed by both american and japanese directors. factual telling of events.
@@babayaga1767 Tora Tora Tora is also more historically accurate with the ship models it uses. Its not perfect but at least you dont have modern FFG's and Nuclear carriers present in the film.
I think this scene did a disservice to admiral yamamoto. I understand the purpose of this movie was for American propaganda purposes so kind of simplified who he is. He actually was very aware that going to war with america was suicide. He went to Harvard and was keenly aware of American infrastructure and capability to wage war. but he decided to fight this way anyway to raise the chances of being able to win. As a Korean American though thank God Japan lost because they were doing some heinous things all over Asia
very true. The Things that they did to the Chinese with the rape of Nanking and Japan doing terrible things to Korean women with the comfort wives also was sad.
Yamamoto also fought at Tsushima straits against the Russian navy, where, mind you, the Japanese won; the Japanese actually thought they'd be able to claim most, if not all, of South East Asia after Pearl, figuring that it would take too long for the American Pacific Navy to return to strength to challenge Japanese supremacy.
@@woodwyrm And when the challenge inevitably came Yamamoto hoped to initiate another Tsushima, to eviscerate the carriers and whatever survived Pearl Harbor-unfortunately for him, Joseph Rochefort and co. were reading his mail before even Yamamoto got it.
The only thing that's weird is that they are using footage of modern (1980's & 90's) warships, like what appear to be Burkes and Kitty Hawks at 3:59 and clearly Spruances at 4:22 (USS Ingersoll). For a movie that lean so heavily into CGI for many aspects you think they could have created a couple models of period correct ships
Fun fact: The founder of Reiki moved from Japan to Hawaii. The Japanese government asked him to take photos of Pearl Harbor. When he refused, they called him a traitor to his country. He was obligated to ritual suicide.
the only reason why this movie flopped is because they decided to make a movie both for the boys AND the girls and so the other 50% of it is basically a chick flick about a love triangle.
Omg that pissed me off so much! They could have used any stock footage of a ww2 Japanese carrier, but they decided to get footage of a modern American carrier group 🤦♂️
The fact is they where actually converted cargo ships retro fitted to hold places and personnel for war. They wernt built for war the original ships, but Japan new they needed carrier and carriers quick hence the rero fitting if simple cargo ships to become and instrument of war. They had 9 carriers but I think they knew they needed more and four where converted, by the start the pearl harbour attack. Japan had the largest carrier fleet in the workd
@@johnquake1335 The Kido Butai's big six were absolutely *NOT* "converted cargo ships"! Are you, in fact, thinking of the two 'Hiyo'-class carriers - which were converted from liner hulls - or the fact of the 'Akagi' and 'Kaga' being conversions of a then-unfinished battlecruiser and battleship hull respectively? Because the two 'Lexingtons' were likewise adapted from incomplete and cancelled battlecruiser hulls, as was the 'USS Langley' an *actual converted collier* ? You may even be thinking of the mid-war conversion of the two 'Chiyoda'-class light fleet carriers from their original seaplane carrier guise - and if you are, then you would know that a part of Japanese strategic planning was the use of a multi-purpose fast navy auxiliary hull design, able to be finished as a fast fleet replenisher or as an aviation vessel, among other roles; so those two ships were absolutely designed to full naval standards for just such repurposing in the event. Or are you even talking about the small Japanese escort carrier programme (of which the US had a very notable equivalent)?
It was pretty clever that they attacked on an early Sunday morning. The reason? Saturday night, everyone would be out late getting wasted, partying, and having Saturday night fun, especially since it was during Christmas time. You get them early Sunday morning when they are all still asleep and hungover, rendering their ability to fight back virtually useless, and you also have the element of surprise. The Japanese knew what they were doing.
I've not seen this movie from beginning to end but my gosh, it's so beautifully shot. From the fading of all the names with the camera to focus on the one the actor is talking about, to the contrast on all the technology of both sides. Brilliant work!
The combat scenes including this buildup are pretty solid. But whole storyline is crap. For a film titled "Pearl Harbor" it shouldn't be about triangle love of an unfaithful woman.. rather a film about the war itself. For this reason, "Tora Tora Tora" is superior.
i love the logistics, planning, and training required to undertake massive operations like this that results in overwhelming success. Same can be said with the first 24 hours of Desert Storm's air campaign and Operation Uppercut.
This was such a good movie. I don’t understand the backlash or negativity. The acting, set design, sound design, & camera work seem great to me. It definitely deserves a 2nd look.
Because the rest of the movie was about a stupid love triangle. The actual military stuff was incredible, but the characters were annoying as hell. The first half of the movie is 85% romantic drama.
It's crazy the amount of intelligence the Japanese had on Pearl Harbor. With everything that is happening with China I can't help but think of this movie and wonder if history is bound to repeat itself. China seems to be another pre World War II Japan. One would hope we learned our lesson.
Actually you are not that far off. P.R.China today is using its softpower to use chinese diasporas in Southeast Asia and United States either as spies or at least supporting their cause.
I would have agreed with you pre-Obama, but if China Pearl Harbored us today, half the country would scream it was our own fault for not using the proper pronouns and that we needed to surrender.
That camera is a special edition product requested by japanese government..... as legend said: a secret society gathered to made that request.....the holy grail of camera Kids nowadays know them as sony, nikon, canon, fujifilm, panasonic, olympus, ricoh
The scenes of the American Navy officers trying to determine the Japanese movements are well done. I love scenes where puzzle pieces are more or less being put together to figure out what is going on. It really is a shame we underestimated the Japanese so much.
The ships at 3:57 look pretty modern as well, and the carriers in the background look like they copy-pasted it five times (at least they got the number of carriers right)
@@heitor5784actually if equipped with the same level of technology and economy the ww2 japanese would do in the war far far better than the yankees and their oil wars..you see it is all started when US wanted to play with oil...you don't want other nation going higher above you..we asians know we are capable to outsmart you just like in attack of the pearl harbour...we could make the world better with our bigger brain and calmer nature...
Japan now faces its most challenging opponent yet, the industrial Juggernaut of America shakes off the rubble of the civil war and its war machine roars back to life
@@sallmandar1027 Definitely. He said they couldn't defeat the US in a long way. They thought and hoped our Aircraft Carriers would be at Pearl Harbor, but they weren't. Thankfully. We couldn't afford to lose those carriers.
each general was the grandson generation of the last generation of the tokugawa shogunate. the generals had no knowledge of rational judgments and logic thinking. people outside of japan took it granted that "a heavyweight person is superior to a lightweight person in a judo match". the generals had believed that even "a japanese lightweight person can beat an american heavyweight person" because they seriously believed that japan was a nation of emperors with divine wind (kami kaze).
This is just the usual western ignorance and arrogance. Japan couldn't have done what they did if their generals were not capable of rational judgements and logical thinking.
the japanese national diet started in 1890. their first "voluntary" movement of democracy started around the 1910's. however no one could discuss based on rational judgments and logical thinking, no one could determine who was right or wrong. instead, everything was decided by political power and political games. i would have to say that the japanese government and the bureaucracy lacked an idea of who was a responsible person in charge, who should be elected prime minister. the cabinet ministers changed so often and accordingly the bureaucracy members changed so often. the emperor of japan could not control the cabinet and the military even though the emperor was positioned at the top.
If only Bay ditched the romance plot and focus on history, people will remember this movie more fondly. Instead of 2 fictional characters with vapid romance bull, make Affleck and Hartnett actually play George Welch and Kenneth Taylor
yeah i know. he was consulted in the 1970 movie Tora Tora Tora, but not for 2001 Pearl Harbor. what i meant is Bay should have grind his teeth and make it a fully fledged Tora Tora Tora reboot@@raymondyee2008
@@raymondyee2008Yep and due to it being historically inaccurate and the romance subplot with it. If the movie had more historically accurate props, storytelling and everything else, it would be remembered more fondly like what OP said.
From what I had read, Bay didn't want the romance plot. He had wanted to remake Tora Tora Tora with modern CGI, and had threatened to leave production at a couple points. While he wouldn't have been anywhere near historically accurate (and had way more fun with explosions as Bay tends to do), apparently the whole romance plot was a Bruckheimer thing. The fact that the best scenes are the ones that have actual historical figures, such as Yamamoto, Roosevelt, Doolittle, and even Petty Offiicer Doris Miller (as portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr), are proof of this. I feel like this movie could do well to have a Phantom Edit where all the scenes with made up characters (other than the Doolittle Raid, and even then focus entirely on Baldwin there) are completely scrubbed from the movie. Would be short and still have glaring inaccuracies, but would be a much better movie overall.
I don't think that's true at all, there's a reason films like this do so well and it's basically it's not solely based on the historical stuff. Titanic for example, Saving Private Ryan. The romantic subplot draws casuals in and makes the film bigger, now that's not the case all the time but pearl harbor is a bigger movie for the romantic stuff. Now is that the case all the time? No of course not but most of the time yes.
8:33 one of my favorite details from this film is when the major mispronounced "Haleiwa." he switched the I and the E to pronounce it "Haliewa" which is how many non-locals from the US have always pronounced it. i don't know if that was done purposely, but it's brilliant nonetheless.
that fleet shot made me laugh and think "well if that had been the force striking out at Pearl Harbor the war would have taken an entirely different course!" :D
I remember this movie when it first came out in theatres when I lived In Hawaii. It was NOt well received at first. But, its one of those that just "grows" on you over time, and I believe, not for certain, that it did quite well financially over the Long run
Nah, the movie overall is still trash because of what was already mentioned - the love triangle. If that was taken out and it was just a war movie, it would have been brilliant. The shame of that is that you COULD take out all of that stuff and still have a feature length film 😂 The movie is 'Pearl Harbor' for those who are asking. Came out in 2001.
omitted here is the reason why the US sanctioned Japan. it makes it seem that the USA is the aggressor. when in fact the Japanese had since 1937 been attacking China and committing genocides
The torpedoes were such a shock to the US that they immediately started experimenting with their own designs. One such design was by Westinghouse, produced in Sharon Pennsylvania and tested in Pymatuning Lake in PA
I'm glad to see this scene out in the open. I can't remember what WW2 book I read it from, but the Japanese didn't believe in the secrecy of "behind closed doors" as much as the West does.
knp saya bisa melihat apa yg diperbincangkan dan mendengar yg direncanakan.? wktu itu? "Pancing smua tentara amerika ke lautan kita" lalu ketika smua sudah di lautan, saatnya kita ke sana..... HAIK
My Grandfather was at Pearl Harbor December 7th. He said that there was a Japanese exchange pilot in their flight group (USN) who committed suicide during the attack by eating the broken glass of spectacles. It took hours for him to die and he could not speak. No one knew much about him or ever would.
I love how Mako’s character is the only one that’s not eager to fight a war with the U.S. It’s like he’s the only one could see that they’re about to step on the toes of an angry sleeping giant.
What everyone misses here is Dec 8th at 2am in Manilla, is the exact same moment on the Time/Space Continum as Dec 7th at 8am in Pearl. The Japanese war planners carefully hit Pearl FIRST as the main target, and one hour later hit the other stuff. Exactly one hour, incase Pearl was called off. As for the spying/evesdropping .... Japan had a HUGE fleet, THEY DID MOVE SOUTH. They also moved to Pearl Harbor. They also moved into British Hong Kong, they didn't have to make up a bunch of air chatter, it already existed. THEY MOVED TO THE PHILIPINES AND ATTACKED BATAAN within an hour of the attack on Pearl. NOT THE NEXT DAY. NOT 10 HOURS LATER. Simultaneous air attacks. Pearl, Philipines, Hong Kong. Again, it's coincidence the calender reads Dec 8th. for some and Dec 7th for others. During the same sunrise/moment. they attack hard targets at Pearl. An Hour later they carefully hit radio and communications in Philipines, Hong Kong. The Minor Islands are defenseless so, they just sent bombers to prepare for land assualts. Guam, Wake Island. Boom.
I love this scene especially when the general looks at the kids playing message being conveyed we are doing this for our children to secure the oils this attack has to be done for the future of our children kinda adds a humanizing element to the antagonists

I think this scene did a disservice to admiral yamamoto. I understand the purpose of this movie was for American propaganda purposes so kind of simplified who he is. He actually was very aware that going to war with america was suicide. He went to Harvard and was keenly aware of American infrastructure and capability to wage war. but he decided to fight this way anyway to raise the chances of being able to win. As a Korean American though thank God Japan lost because they were doing some heinous things all over Asia
But in this film, he is indeed shown as being reluctant to this operation.. "awakening a sleeping giant"
朝鮮人=大明帝國and大日本帝國の藩屬
very true. The Things that they did to the Chinese with the rape of Nanking and Japan doing terrible things to Korean women with the comfort wives also was sad.
Yamamoto also fought at Tsushima straits against the Russian navy, where, mind you, the Japanese won; the Japanese actually thought they'd be able to claim most, if not all, of South East Asia after Pearl, figuring that it would take too long for the American Pacific Navy to return to strength to challenge Japanese supremacy.
@@woodwyrm And when the challenge inevitably came Yamamoto hoped to initiate another Tsushima, to eviscerate the carriers and whatever survived Pearl Harbor-unfortunately for him, Joseph Rochefort and co. were reading his mail before even Yamamoto got it.

The only thing that's weird is that they are using footage of modern (1980's & 90's) warships, like what appear to be Burkes and Kitty Hawks at 3:59 and clearly Spruances at 4:22 (USS Ingersoll). For a movie that lean so heavily into CGI for many aspects you think they could have created a couple models of period correct ships

the only reason why this movie flopped is because they decided to make a movie both for the boys AND the girls and so the other 50% of it is basically a chick flick about a love triangle.

全く違和感だらけの映画セットですね~。鳥居に軍艦旗。全く日本をしらない監督が作った作品。
nice supercarriers Japan has at 3:58. I also love that the Japanese use calendars with the English names of each day 9:28
Omg that pissed me off so much! They could have used any stock footage of a ww2 Japanese carrier, but they decided to get footage of a modern American carrier group 🤦♂️
The fact is they where actually converted cargo ships retro fitted to hold places and personnel for war. They wernt built for war the original ships, but Japan new they needed carrier and carriers quick hence the rero fitting if simple cargo ships to become and instrument of war. They had 9 carriers but I think they knew they needed more and four where converted, by the start the pearl harbour attack. Japan had the largest carrier fleet in the workd
They also had some shots up close of modern destroyers/cruisers
@@johnquake1335 The Kido Butai's big six were absolutely *NOT* "converted cargo ships"!
Are you, in fact, thinking of the two 'Hiyo'-class carriers - which were converted from liner hulls - or the fact of the 'Akagi' and 'Kaga' being conversions of a then-unfinished battlecruiser and battleship hull respectively? Because the two 'Lexingtons' were likewise adapted from incomplete and cancelled battlecruiser hulls, as was the 'USS Langley' an *actual converted collier* ?
You may even be thinking of the mid-war conversion of the two 'Chiyoda'-class light fleet carriers from their original seaplane carrier guise - and if you are, then you would know that a part of Japanese strategic planning was the use of a multi-purpose fast navy auxiliary hull design, able to be finished as a fast fleet replenisher or as an aviation vessel, among other roles; so those two ships were absolutely designed to full naval standards for just such repurposing in the event.
Or are you even talking about the small Japanese escort carrier programme (of which the US had a very notable equivalent)?
"The Final Countdown" - part deux.
Yamamoto was a true military man, a brilliant tactian but understood the reality of war.
It was pretty clever that they attacked on an early Sunday morning. The reason? Saturday night, everyone would be out late getting wasted, partying, and having Saturday night fun, especially since it was during Christmas time. You get them early Sunday morning when they are all still asleep and hungover, rendering their ability to fight back virtually useless, and you also have the element of surprise. The Japanese knew what they were doing.
I've not seen this movie from beginning to end but my gosh, it's so beautifully shot. From the fading of all the names with the camera to focus on the one the actor is talking about, to the contrast on all the technology of both sides. Brilliant work!
Believe me, one of the worst war movies I have ever seen, Mako couldn't even save it.
The combat scenes including this buildup are pretty solid. But whole storyline is crap. For a film titled "Pearl Harbor" it shouldn't be about triangle love of an unfaithful woman.. rather a film about the war itself. For this reason, "Tora Tora Tora" is superior.
i love the logistics, planning, and training required to undertake massive operations like this that results in overwhelming success. Same can be said with the first 24 hours of Desert Storm's air campaign and Operation Uppercut.
It was a massive fail for Japan

well most of the suriving WW2 era ships have been sold or scrapped at this point
I mean, imagine a RIM-7 Missile cell at Pearl Harbor on that day :D
also, modern supercarriers at 3:59
seems they didn't give much shit
This was such a good movie. I don’t understand the backlash or negativity. The acting, set design, sound design, & camera work seem great to me. It definitely deserves a 2nd look.
Because the rest of the movie was about a stupid love triangle. The actual military stuff was incredible, but the characters were annoying as hell. The first half of the movie is 85% romantic drama.
I forgot Mako was in this movie. He was a great actor.
It's crazy the amount of intelligence the Japanese had on Pearl Harbor. With everything that is happening with China I can't help but think of this movie and wonder if history is bound to repeat itself. China seems to be another pre World War II Japan. One would hope we learned our lesson.
Actually you are not that far off. P.R.China today is using its softpower to use chinese diasporas in Southeast Asia and United States either as spies or at least supporting their cause.
Just like the Japanese in ww2, they have a nig navy and powerful airforce plus there aggressive

4:22 is the correct timestamp, but yeah well spotted, there are even box missile launchers on those ships.
The ships at 3:57 look pretty modern as well, and the carriers in the background look like they copy-pasted it five times (at least they got the number of carriers right)

Love the cut scenes to modern U.S. Supercarriers that are supposed to be Japanese WWII carriers. Nice.
I thought the same thing!
each general was the grandson generation of the last generation of the tokugawa shogunate. the generals had no knowledge of rational judgments and logic thinking. people outside of japan took it granted that "a heavyweight person is superior to a lightweight person in a judo match". the generals had believed that even "a japanese lightweight person can beat an american heavyweight person" because they seriously believed that japan was a nation of emperors with divine wind (kami kaze).
合理的なじゃなくて嫌でも戦わないといけなくなったんです。パリ講和会議の時に人種差別撤廃提案を出してから白人国家の日本イジメは限界を超えました。あと当時、支那軍閥は人民を弾圧してました。それらの救出も日本は一部的に行ってました。それらを妨害する為に支援して日本イジメをやりまくってたのがアメリカとアングロサクソンの植民地主義の国々らです。日本は元々ペリー来航から奴隷にされそうに成ってました。それを戦いに勝って大日本帝国は強くなったからアングロサクソン国が日本を潰したいのと、人種差別撤廃を訴えてきた日本から植民地を失うのが怖かったのですよ。だから潰しにかかってきたんです。日本はそれに抵抗しただけです。
This is just the usual western ignorance and arrogance. Japan couldn't have done what they did if their generals were not capable of rational judgements and logical thinking.
Except Yamamoto. He studied at Harvard and was well aware of American industrial powers and determination
the japanese national diet started in 1890. their first "voluntary" movement of democracy started around the 1910's. however no one could discuss based on rational judgments and logical thinking, no one could determine who was right or wrong. instead, everything was decided by political power and political games. i would have to say that the japanese government and the bureaucracy lacked an idea of who was a responsible person in charge, who should be elected prime minister. the cabinet ministers changed so often and accordingly the bureaucracy members changed so often. the emperor of japan could not control the cabinet and the military even though the emperor was positioned at the top.
If only Bay ditched the romance plot and focus on history, people will remember this movie more fondly.
Instead of 2 fictional characters with vapid romance bull, make Affleck and Hartnett actually play George Welch and Kenneth Taylor
You kidding? Taylor blasted the movie as garbage.
yeah i know. he was consulted in the 1970 movie Tora Tora Tora, but not for 2001 Pearl Harbor. what i meant is Bay should have grind his teeth and make it a fully fledged Tora Tora Tora reboot@@raymondyee2008
@@raymondyee2008Yep and due to it being historically inaccurate and the romance subplot with it.
If the movie had more historically accurate props, storytelling and everything else, it would be remembered more fondly like what OP said.
From what I had read, Bay didn't want the romance plot. He had wanted to remake Tora Tora Tora with modern CGI, and had threatened to leave production at a couple points. While he wouldn't have been anywhere near historically accurate (and had way more fun with explosions as Bay tends to do), apparently the whole romance plot was a Bruckheimer thing. The fact that the best scenes are the ones that have actual historical figures, such as Yamamoto, Roosevelt, Doolittle, and even Petty Offiicer Doris Miller (as portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr), are proof of this.
I feel like this movie could do well to have a Phantom Edit where all the scenes with made up characters (other than the Doolittle Raid, and even then focus entirely on Baldwin there) are completely scrubbed from the movie. Would be short and still have glaring inaccuracies, but would be a much better movie overall.
I don't think that's true at all, there's a reason films like this do so well and it's basically it's not solely based on the historical stuff. Titanic for example, Saving Private Ryan. The romantic subplot draws casuals in and makes the film bigger, now that's not the case all the time but pearl harbor is a bigger movie for the romantic stuff. Now is that the case all the time? No of course not but most of the time yes.
8:33 one of my favorite details from this film is when the major mispronounced "Haleiwa." he switched the I and the E to pronounce it "Haliewa" which is how many non-locals from the US have always pronounced it. i don't know if that was done purposely, but it's brilliant nonetheless.
When the leader always think that he's better than his subordinate in every way. The result, Pearl Harbour in history.

Dec 8th at 2am in Manilla, is the exact same moment on the Time/Space Continum as Dec 7th at 8am in Pearl.
The Japanese war planners carefully hit Pearl FIRST as the main target, and one hour later hit the other stuff.
Exactly one hour, incase Pearl was called off.
As for the spying/evesdropping ....
Japan had a HUGE fleet, THEY DID MOVE SOUTH. They also moved to Pearl Harbor.
They also moved into British Hong Kong, they didn't have to make up a bunch of air chatter, it already existed.
THEY MOVED TO THE PHILIPINES AND ATTACKED BATAAN within an hour of the attack on Pearl. NOT THE NEXT DAY. NOT 10 HOURS LATER.
Simultaneous air attacks. Pearl, Philipines, Hong Kong.
Again, it's coincidence the calender reads Dec 8th. for some and Dec 7th for others.
During the same sunrise/moment. they attack hard targets at Pearl.
An Hour later they carefully hit radio and communications in Philipines, Hong Kong.
