Review of Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970) by Gaius J — 24 May 2007

Throughout movie history, we have great movies, that become just another box on the shelf. I was born 5 years later than this movie was filmed, and didn't see it until I was well in my 20's on Turner Classic Movies. But I feel like this is one of those undiscovered gems you run across in the video store and not think twice about.

DON'T!! Take it and watch it. Not for the realism of the attack scenes, because the technology didn't exist to the extent that we are accustomed to now, but for the screenwriting, and acting of both the AMerican and Japanese crews. It has become a movie I watch over and over again, and trust as authentic re-telling of history.
