Worth watching several times.

"Tora! Tora! Tora!" (1970) is a recreation of the events leading up to and the Day of Infamy, displayed from both sides of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Naturally, there will always be people who are not satisfied with the accuracy of this recreation. There is a little controversy due to the collaboration between American and J-a-p-a-n-e-s-e filmmakers, causing some compromise in having both sides of the story in one film. Other than a well-paced film that keeps your attention, the real surprise is all the DVD goodies. The most important is the running narrative. It does some of the explaining of the differences between this film and reality without making excuses. After watching it first without the narrative, then with the narrative, it is time to watch it again and notice the points made about how the scenes were shot, the people picked, and how they attempted to make the bulk of the film comply with history as we remember. It does not make sense to repeat the narrative or the story in this review. Let's just say you will not be disappointed with the movie or all the DVD goodies.
