Title: Forget Pearl Harbor Watch this "Gem" instead
Review: The new released PEARL HARBOR took pains to be "politically correct." and unoffensive to the Japan's film market. If they really wanted to make a great movie on the subject, they would have studied this film. The performances are great from Martin Balsam's Admiral Kimbel to Toshio Mifune's Admirial Yamamoto the action is believeable and the story told from both the perspective of Japan and the US hits the nail on the head. We see the development of the plan, the mistakes leading to the failures of Kimbel and most importantly we see the film in such a way that we understand this battle on both side was fought by Men, not monsters. The all star cast delivers, the battle scenes deliver and the message delivers. Instead of dropping dough on dinner and a bad movie, Get takeout and see a really good film.
