My teacher has recently showed us 2 movies about the war in the the Pacific and I have decided to do a comparison between the 2 of them. The first movie was called Tora Tora Tora. It shows us how the relationship between America and Japan soured. Pearl Harbour, however, showed us a completely different picture. Being a typical Hollywood movie, it features a relationship which has completely nothing to do with the war in Pacific war...
I felt the Tora Tora Tora was much more educational as compared to Pearl Harbour. It showed us how the Japan betrayed the Americans, also showed us how the Americans were a tad too complacent. Seriously felt that they could have been more prepared for this. Judging from all the warning signs coming from all around the globe. I guess this is price you pay for deciding to stay out of worldly matters. Pearl Harbour as one would expect, is a Hollywood classic. The girl is in the middle of a relationship. The 2 pilots who are fighting for her also starred in Tora Tora Tora, except they didn't have a girl in between them.
If u would like to watch either one of these shows, let me recommend to you Tora Tora Tora. Do Not let your opinion of the war in the Pacific be decided by watching Pearl Harbour first. Hollywood's version is centres around the love triangle more than the War itself. Therefore, make the beneficial choice of choosing Tora Tora Tora. ^.^
