The Japanese hit us before a Declaration of War was delivered, all because the typist who typed it couldnt type. Yamamoto saw that as a dishonorable act, and choose not to continue the attack. Luckly for us our carriers, the Japanese's true targets were not in the harbor. After a few skirmish's, two carriers steamed towards Japan and launched Doolittle's raid against the heart of Japan, sending a clear message. "You hit us hard, but we are coming for you."
It's amazing how history repeats itself. This happened, we entered WW2 and suffered hundreds of thousands dead and won. 9/11 happens, we enter into Afghanistan, suffer a couple thousand dead, and the elite media is screaming that we shouldn't be fighting.
Actually the first uncut part is right at the beginning. In the uncut part, Red, after seeing the Japs, looks back down to continue pissing THEN raises his head. You know like "Oh...*continues whatever then looks back up*...GASP!"
the Nazi's were on the side the white boys being bombed that's why the US Government told the Japanese the 4 carriers they sent enough planes to sink were in the harbor. they wanted to pump white people in america up to fight to cover up why the Nazi's were punished the Jewish people but that's another example of why.
One of the biggest omissions in every movie that depicts this attack is that most of the damage in the civilian areas was caused by friendly fire, that is 6-inch shells from the warships aimed at the Japanese, landing everywhere. Not to mention cross-fire from 50-cal. when a plane flew between two adjacent ships must have caused alot of friendly fire casulties
@qwertasdcfghjklmo24z Unfortunately the Hospital was on a Military base, so was that suburban looking area. It's gruesome and horrid, I know. But it appeared to me that EVERYTHING in the Military area was a target. Why do you thinking they didn't kill the kids on the hill, the kids playing baseball, and that woman hanging her close? Those spots were not in the Military area.....sorry if I'm not making sense.
@MASSEFFECTfan101 also if word got to the military that a load of civvies had just been shot by planes, they would all be on alert and ready for the Japs
How are people seriously arguing about the politics of WWII?? Yeah, there was racism, POWs were killed on both sides, but it's war and it's imperfect. Oh and conspiracy theorists...shoot yourselves;)
The best, I feel, is the "Strength and Honor" fan edit running 128 minutes, which takes the 184-minute R-rated director's cut but removes the love triangle and silly dialogue. Well worth downloading.
I hate how this movie glossed over some many other heroic acts of this battle. 9:21 on the bottom left of your screen, the USS Nevada was the only ship to get up steam and attempt to escape Pearl Harbor. They could have devoted a good 5 mins to the courage of these men, instead they give time to two horrible characters that never even existed.
Pearl Harbor and 9/11 have a lot in common in that they were both unprovoked attacks. Pearl Harbor was the greatest disaster on American soil until 9/11 and there is speculation that in both cases, there was prior knowledge of the imminent attacks. Makes you wonder why the boys in Washington don't follow their gut instincts more often.
@dtheriault51 i dont believe that usa goverment knew and allowed 9/11 to happen. But for pearl its 100% that they knew. pearl was a bait. and the japs bite it. they woke the giant and that was what roosvelt wanted. if it werent for pearl the Usa would never be the super power they were in the 20thcentury. Usa was the greatest victor in this war. and it was the only country that entered the war with a plan and a specific purpose. roosvelt was a genius indeed
@vonzuchter I agree with some of what you said. Mind you there was only speculation that the government knew of an iminent attack prior to 9/11, I just don't think they thought it would be the WTC or on that large of a scale. As far as Pearl Harbor, I don't think that Roosevelt used it as bait. He was a great man and would not have sacrificed that many people just to enter the war, and I believe we were a super power before this occurred.
@vonzuchter Unlike you, I am a study of military history. While the administration at the time had no idea there would be an attack, the signs were there. They were both obvious and ignored. Also, the ambush could have been discovered before it hit several times, as shown in the movie, but nothing was done because mistakes were made.
@RedneckRapture lol. militrary history my ass. this was 100% political. not military. yanks left those old outdated battleships there for the japs to attack while ALL the aicratf carriers were "away"... lol.. its really pathetic that people believe that this was pure luck. before pearl 70% of the americans against involvement in the war. after pearl yanks were making lines to enlist. Roosvelt wanted so bad the Usa to enter the war that he would sell his soul to the devil to achieve this
@RedneckRapture and the usa was allready at war with the axis. both germany and japan. u guys had air squadrons fighting the japs in china. and you were at unofficial war with german uboats in the atlantic.
@vonzuchter Yes, an unofficial war, with volunteer pilots flying RAF planes, using RAF ammunition and fuel. Then we had submarines firing on our own freighters.
You lack any historical evidence to lend credibility to your arguments. If Roosevelt wanted us in the war that badly, he could have released the German papers about a Nazi invasion of South America. Plenty reason to enter the war there, but the documents weren't released. Save your idiocy, we don't need to see you dancing about with it
at 10:18 when i see that i just think of all the men who were deep deep inside that ship who died without ever finding out who had attacked them and why :(
Ok, stuttering boy is wholly unrealistic. He'd never have made it out of fllght school since communication is just a teensy bit important in combat, isn't it? Whoever the historic consultant was should have stood up stronger on this, or quit. The director allowing this kind of unnecessary and distracting storyline to develop should be ashamed at their willful inaccuracy.
Honestly this should've been the theatre version, in a real war and fight, blood shows up and spirts out of you when you get shot, in the theatre version it just seems like when you got shot there was no blood until they show scenes of men who already got shot and hurt
Yes, much better than the PG-13 shit that was served up in the original. Not a good film by any measure, 'Pearl Harbor' is a war movie.It must be portrayed with all the horror of war, otherwise it's nothing but a kids cartoon.
I actually got emotional watching this... when I saw them gunning down the women I got SO MAD! My eyes started tearing up and my muscles got tense. I wanted to shout and yell at the screen. Just... enraged! It made me want to go back in time and fucking kill every fascist who ever lived. Pigs! The American's didn't hurt a fly, and then out of the blue they get THIS? Fucking imperialist animals.
@wasteofspace1234 If it makes you feel better, in the latter part of this film, with the Doolittle raid. When the USN carrier task force was spotted by Japanese fishing boats and destroyers blew them out of the water, there were women and kids aboard. No bullshit, even the actor Rod Steiger said so in a documentary. He was on board of them. War is nothing but slaughter, and the innocent and defenceless always suffer.
@goatboyful You're absolutely right. The differance, however, is that our side didn't start the damn thing, nor did we take the same kind of sick pleasure in the slaughter as the Japanese.
@wasteofspace1234 Well you're about to open a great big closet of skeletons there. Now yes you are quite correct, the Japanese did strike the first blow here, no argument. But you don't really know what was in the hearts of the pilot's and air-gunners here. They are killing the enemies of their country and to them, that's a good thing.And they come from an ancient culture, where killing people was a daily occurrence, and even a good and honorable thing. I would also like to point out, before...
@goatboyful ..you say anything about it being the 20th century and people had 'evolved', that people were being lynched in the United States purely because of the colour of their skin. Or castrated for talking or looking at a 'white' woman.Even being burned alive, for the above reasons, and more. And the perpetrators of those heinous acts loved every fucking bit of it. If you look thru archival photos, you will see all those nice church going, christian 'white' people looking at the camera..
@goatboyful ..there's no horror or disgust in their faces. You'll even see smiles. Certainly, you will not see an ounce of remorse or shame or regret. Killing is easy when you have no regard for other people who are different. Or when you believe in your cause above all else. that's war, it's human nature. and it won't change.
@wasteofspace1234 We took a Countries Oil Supply away from them. They asked for it back in Peace talks, and they didn't want War. However America, in all Her Wisdom, thought that they could hold on without it. When OPEC did the same to Us in the '70's, didn't We almost go to War? I'm not takeing sides. Because both sides morphed into "Slaughter", and "Sick Pleasure" People after Pearl Harbor and then after the Doolittle Raid. The thing is, there is no right or wrong side to War. From an American
@cuda408 yes but they were using the oil to fuel the jap war machine. Ever hear of Burma and Unit 731, or the slaughter they inflicted on the chinese? No? Well, look some of that stuff up. It might give you an idea as to why we stopped supporting them.
@cuda408 Get your facts straight Japan had been at war with China since1931. In 1937 the Japs sunk the gunboat Panay killing 30 something sailors. Then they raped and killed over 100,000 civilains in a incident called the Rape of Nanking. Then we started the oil embargo.
@bluntman570 roosvelt wanted the japanese to attack first. pearl harbor was a bait and the japs took it. Do u think it was just luck that the aircratf carriers were absent? the us goverment knew the japs were about to attack. they propably knew were japs were going to attack. the could intercept and read and break any code messages of the japs. they knew it. roosvelt allowe d this to happen so that the american people support this war. Roosvelt was the best polititian of WW2.
@bluntman570 read your history. there r so many facts and proofs that roosvelt and the american goverment knew the japs were going to attack ... one of roosvelts assosiates said that after the attack roosvelt was so calm and reliefed like never before. His tactics and political maneuvres paid back. before the attack american people support for the war was less that 20%.
@wasteofspace1234 our side? lol, heres a little history lession for you, we took 1000's of innocent japanese civilians in america and stuck them in concentration camp's were a lot of them were brutally tourcherd and killed, also, America, just like the current war we're in now always need's to play the victom in order to use that as an excuse to go to war, rosevelt knew once the japanese joined the axis and for punishment cut off their oil, that they would attack us, it was the only way to get
@wasteofspace1234 out of the depression, and it worked, factories became alive and America's economy picked up, same thing for the war were in now, bush knew we were going to be hit, both Pakistan and Israel warned him of a terror attack on 9/11 from the air, infact Israel went as far to inform its people working in the WTC to not go into work on that day saving lives while over 4000 American lives were lost so Bush could have a reason to go to war.
@LightStijn You should learn some history before you start mouthing off here. I recommend you read about the Rape of Nanking, the Battle of Hong Kong, the killing and enslavement of Prisoners of War, "Comfort" Women forced into prostitution, the "Kill all, Burn all, Loot all" strategy, and the Japanese state religion of Emperor Worship and Jingoism. Perhaps then you will understand, and then we can have a civilized discussion without any desperate name calling.
@wasteofspace1234 I recommend you read about the atomic bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the attack on Japanese rescue ships during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, the no-prisoner policy during like... the entire war in the Pacific.
I quote: "Allied troops often saw the Japanese in the same way that Germans regarded Russians—as Untermenschen," which basically means that Japanese soldiers were deemed "unworthy" of the normal treatment accorded to POWs.
@wasteofspace1234 You stupid ignorant fool. Do you really think that your government didn't know about the attack? with all your sophisticated intelligence and "superior" military advantage? and it's spelled "difference".
You know Doris Miller actually carried his captain from the bridge to the deck then ran back and got on the 20mm, but another African american steered, in the same battle, the USS Nevada away from 2 Japanese torpedoes and saved his ship from the fate of the USS Arizona which suffered a 200lbs bomb into its munitions room blowing the ship into 2 separate pieces, at which point they both capsized and sunk but not after the bow was struck with yet another torpedo making the total of 6 torpedo hits
Seriously guys why is it that youtube has become a place for people to have a go at each other. If your going to say who won the war it would be neither and both the UK and USA. I dont think either could have succeeded without the other, the amount of aid recieved by the UK is what helped sustain it, Atlantic convoys etc, while later in the war the US couldnt have helped in Europe if it wasnt for the UK's strategic location.
The US and UK are allies, so perhaps we should act like it!
@puttefnask the Japanese raped,tortured,beaten,and starved,POW(prisoners of war) and did the same with babies!!they would boil babys for pleasure and did horrible biological experiments similar to what Nazi scientist did.such as freezing the limbs of a unlucky soul, causing terrible frostbite.they raped little girls and elderly women(mostly chinese) like animals....its disgusting...

Just 1 more statement ppl. Haven't we seen enough in Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. The ppl who sacrifice during those times are meant for the good and a more peaceful life for the ppl of the next generation. I can't imagine how the souls of these ppl who sacrificed can be in greater peace when they see the present America and its countrymen in dire straits.These movies are made with a purpose to remind, for when u look back u know how much your earlier generation have done for u.
America was a good country and its people are wonderful beings during WWII. But i can't figure out what really happen to USA in the state it is in and the way its new generation are behaving now. America needs more good people and good folks like the way it is in WWII. I like America, and i hope it will be good.
@revboy75 I agree with you, America is a great country, but our newer generations are starting to ruin it with all the selfishness and carelessness. I am only 21, but I see people everyday that I just wonder what they are thinking when they do things. We spend so much time over thinking things and trying to make everything fair for every single person that we are ruining a nation and causing mass violence. America was built on hard work and courage, people no longer want that, they want it easy.
@Mjr3945 I'm glad you could see things so well at your age. America needs more people and folks like you to make it a righteous country and a better place on earth. Though i'm not American, but i have an American dream. I admire this country since its days of WWII, and words said by your leaders at that time can moved the world with a righteous mind. There's more humanity and values in the older America. I hope God bless your country and your people. Keep it up son.
@ElenaTheMonster I couldn't agree more. Make comments about whether you like or dislike the movie but why oh why must politics be brought up nonstop especially when the movie isn't making any real points and is a fictionalized dramatization? (which BTW I do not care for this film despite some mildly impressive attack scenes)
Hah Americans..."WHY DID THEY ATTACK US? BECAUSE THEY'RE BAD AND EVIL"
hahahaha history repeats itself. Some nations do not let themselfes be fucked with.
Too bad you had the nukes a few years later. Retaliate for an attack on a military target by nuking the shit out of two cities killing only civilians. Fucking monsters.
PS, this commentary is not aimed at Americans that can think for themselves and have the ability to sympathize with other nations.
True, but in the process of shooting down that one plane, he may have killed more Oahu locals in the nearby residences. It was such a surprise attack, no one had time to set the anti-aircraft fire to explode at a certain altitude, so most of the stray bullets went into nearby neighborhoods, and actually killed and injured many people.
Just a little tid bit from my high school history teacher...
Actually there were a little less than 70 civilian casualties, but you're also right because none of those were from Japanese attackers. they were actually from the anti-aircraft shells that landed on houses and in the streets when the battle ships began firing back at the Japs. What you see here is poorly made American propaganda.
no civilians were killed during the attack. I really think that the people who made this movie should've researched that more carefully, because when you put something as big as that into a historical movie, eeeh...
@2007jeep100 You would probably be one of the guys hugging their knees and crying while rocking back and forth so shut up. And learn to spell before you try to insult someone kid.
The producers of this film dont seem to know crap about accuracy. Such as the Oklahoma had a 3-2-2-3 main gun configuration, not 2-2-2-2. Arizona exploded right after Oklahoma sank, the Nevada managed to make underway before beaching itself. The West Virgina's captain (the one who dies) bled to death in the bridge from shrapnel from a bomb which exploded atop of Tenesee's 2nd turret. The black sailor (sorry I don't know his name), did not shoot down a plane, but was still awarded the navy cross.
@KarH95 I noticed a LOT of inaccuracy during this movie too, which actually ruined a lot of it for me that hasn't been ruined by the love story. That's Michael Bay for you...
The scene with the cook getting his game on with the dual M2s is great, but they must have shot it so many different times. Sometimes both tombstone magazines are on, sometimes the right one is missing, and sometimes they are opened up.
@MrEnglishBadman yup lol because its people did want war again, they thought over sea war was not our problem, until overseas came knocking. we should them
America were part of the Allies, they didn't win the war all by themselves. Another thing, America only made such an impact on the Western Front because they'd had two years to build their forces, landing on the Western Front made them look supperior because we'd been fighting for years and we'd taken a beating for 2 and a half years. We stopped Hitler crossing the channel, America seems to forget this, and America seem to forget fighting the Japs on their own wasn't so easy.
@MrEnglishBadman America was part of the allies yes BUT the people said no to war and America could only supply not get DIRECTLY involved which it was being pressured to do so by the allies, it took the war to hit us on the home front to get us to react.
Yes I know the Japs were not easy to defeat, it took alot to defeat them which is y i believe we had to use the Atom, Japan is all about honor so surrender was not a option 4 them, it took the Atom to show we mean biz
@MrEnglishBadman Another thing when America did go ointo the war we were fighting two fronts, the Japs and the Germans. We did not have the full might of the military on the Japs as we were focused on the Germans, but when we beat them Japan knew they would feel the full might of America and her Allies
Your argument can be applied to the war between the British Empire and the United States. We were fighting a war on 3 fronts. Also, it isn't pronounced America and her Allies, it's the Allies.
And if you're country was halfway around the world, and only 160 years old, would you have unless another country attacked you? Please think before you speak, there are more reasons than just "didn't wanna get involved" as you put it so vaguely.
@MrEnglishBadman The US didn't want to get involve.... well no shit why would they ? their economy was already growing greatly for selling supplies in the war effort and the bias in the US made them not care to extensively about Jewish death camps
@MrEnglishBadman "didnt wanna get involved" uh yeah duh who would want to get involved? i know that us americans couldve helped our allies earlier but it wasnt our probelm yet and why would we want to fight. america was recovering from the depression, we didnt need to go into debt again to fight a war for another country that couldnt fight by themselves i.e. Russia and Great Britain. im not dissing Russia or Britain im just sayin.
Don't try and accuse Great Britain of not being able to fight for itself. I didn't see much help in the Falklands, also, I seem to remember the USA running to Great Britain for help in every war. You asked for help in Afghanistan, Iraq(twice), and it's common fact that USA asked us for help in Vietnam.
@MrEnglishBadman i never said that you couldnt fight for yourself. i said you couldnt fight by yourselves. theres a difference. and im not saying Great Britain or Russia are weak or incapable of fending for yourself. i mean the USA, Britain, and Russia all had there own military advantages over the enemy in WW2. and even if we did ask for help in Vietnam which i dont recall, i didnt see any help. and like i said i wasnt trying to diss the UK, so just calm down
I understand what you are trying to say, I'm not stupid. Great Britain and the United States are cusion's and always have been. After Iraq, our two Nations became close and still are. The US were hesitating to get involved with Libiya but this was all a plot. We knew you were going to help us with Libiya, you just couldn't jump right in or lead it this time because the world will just think "Oh, America invading another Muslim country" but you were always intending to help.
@MrEnglishBadman yeah but with Libya its not really just Great Britain and America its more of a NATO operation. and i thought the U.S. was the first to get involved in Libya?
No, your President made a few statements but that was it. It is being lead by the UK and we asked if you were going to get involved and you said no at first then agree'd to get involved. Like I said before, you were planning on getting involved, this was obvious, you just couldn't lead it or get involved right away or you'll look bad for invading your 3rd Muslim country.
@MrEnglishBadman yeah i guess your right about the last part. but then again why should we care. all those muslim countries over there hate us. thats why i say America should stay outta Libya. cuz even though we are helping the rebels in the end if they win they'll still hate us its kinda like the Soviet Afghan war. we helped the Afghans by providing them with Stinger Missiles to bring down enemy aircraft. but then years later we go to war with them they're using the same damn missles on us!
The United States is in Libya because the UK is and the UK is your biggest allie. One day there is going to be another World War and if NATO sit on their arse, the US and the UK will be the only alliance on earth. This is why our two countries are always working together because we're not stupid and we know we need each other. When you break it down, the UK is your older Cusion at School who defends you when the bully is trying to 'steal your lunch money' and vic versa.
@MrEnglishBadman yeah yeah i agree. by the way, ive always thought of Isreal as the United States biggest allie. but the UK could be just as big of an allie as Isreal
@MrEnglishBadman yeah but why would Isreal help us then. All those middle eastern countries absolutly hate Isreal. they want Isreal wiped off the face of the planet. so it makes sense they would wanna go help fight in Iraq and Afghanistan, it would just stir up more trouble
Don't be so close minded, fool. It was a world war and you all knew it. America was just to scared to get involved. then again you're only 200 years old, don't blame you. :)
@MrEnglishBadman Pretty much sums up America's collective ignorance in one line, thinking the world revolves around them. The irony of it is, it was an American film, made by Americans, about an American event and they didn't even realise. Then again, Michael Bay did make the film.
That is a typical American answer. You're all so backward that sometimes it isn't even funny. Your all so backward that you think the UK is a country when it isn't. It's built up of 3 different countries. Also, you all think you won the war for the entire world when you didn't. Finally, you think you've got to be better than everyone for some reason. Wait until the UK gets its new Aircraft Carrier, its going to be the best in the world, give it a month and America will want one.
@MrEnglishBadman Before Pearl Harbor, it was just a European war, not a world war. Japan was only at war with China, and the only nations in the Americas taking part were British colonies and Dominions. It became a world war when Japan became a belligerent state against the U.S. and Britain, in December 1941. As far as our "not being involved," we had only a small, peacetime army in 1939. It was well into '42 before we were ready to fight, and by that time we'd been dragged into the war.
It s verry gore !!!!!!!!

@RedneckRapture and the usa was allready at war with the axis. both germany and japan. u guys had air squadrons fighting the japs in china. and you were at unofficial war with german uboats in the atlantic.
vonzuchter 4 months ago
@vonzuchter Yes, an unofficial war, with volunteer pilots flying RAF planes, using RAF ammunition and fuel. Then we had submarines firing on our own freighters.
You lack any historical evidence to lend credibility to your arguments. If Roosevelt wanted us in the war that badly, he could have released the German papers about a Nazi invasion of South America. Plenty reason to enter the war there, but the documents weren't released. Save your idiocy, we don't need to see you dancing about with it

@wasteofspace1234 If it makes you feel better, in the latter part of this film, with the Doolittle raid. When the USN carrier task force was spotted by Japanese fishing boats and destroyers blew them out of the water, there were women and kids aboard. No bullshit, even the actor Rod Steiger said so in a documentary. He was on board of them. War is nothing but slaughter, and the innocent and defenceless always suffer.

@wasteofspace1234 Well you're about to open a great big closet of skeletons there. Now yes you are quite correct, the Japanese did strike the first blow here, no argument.

They are killing the enemies of their country and to them, that's a good thing.And they come from an ancient culture, where killing people was a daily occurrence, and even a good and honorable thing.

I dont think either could have succeeded without the other, the amount of aid recieved by the UK is what helped sustain it, Atlantic convoys etc, while later in the war the US couldnt have helped in Europe if it wasnt for the UK's strategic location.
The US and UK are allies, so perhaps we should act like it!

True, but in the process of shooting down that one plane, he may have killed more Oahu locals in the nearby residences. It was such a surprise attack, no one had time to set the anti-aircraft fire to explode at a certain altitude, so most of the stray bullets went into nearby neighborhoods, and actually killed and injured many people.

The producers of this film dont seem to know crap about accuracy. Such as the Oklahoma had a 3-2-2-3 main gun configuration, not 2-2-2-2. Arizona exploded right after Oklahoma sank, the Nevada managed to make underway before beaching itself. The West Virgina's captain (the one who dies) bled to death in the bridge from shrapnel from a bomb which exploded atop of Tenesee's 2nd turret. The black sailor (sorry I don't know his name), did not shoot down a plane, but was still awarded the navy cross.

@MrEnglishBadman Why should we??? We had were in Europe only 20 years before. We weren't looking forward to the prospect of having to do it again.

That is a typical American answer. You're all so backward that sometimes it isn't even funny. Your all so backward that you think the UK is a country when it isn't. It's built up of 3 different countries. Also, you all think you won the war for the entire world when you didn't. Finally, you think you've got to be better than everyone for some reason. Wait until the UK gets its new Aircraft Carrier, its going to be the best in the world, give it a month and America will want one.

@MrEnglishBadman Yeah but China now has some sort of Carrier killer missile thing so were all screwed equally.

@MrEnglishBadman Before Pearl Harbor, it was just a European war, not a world war. Japan was only at war with China, and the only nations in the Americas taking part were British colonies and Dominions. It became a world war when Japan became a belligerent state against the U.S. and Britain, in December 1941. As far as our "not being involved," we had only a small, peacetime army in 1939. It was well into '42 before we were ready to fight, and by that time we'd been dragged into the war.

this movie was good but only the fighting scenes. the rest of the movie was ruined because they put a love story in the middle of it
