6/21 Has anyone seen both Pearl Harbor and the old movie "Tora! Tora!
Tora!"? How do they compare? I've only seen the latter. -- yuen
\_ Tora Tora Tora is a classic (together with Midway). I haven't
seen Pearl harbor though. Heard it wasn't that great.
\_ Was Midway like a "part two" of Tora Tora Tora? (Same style,
same cast, etc.) Or was it a separate movie? -- yuen
\_ In real life, it was a sequel. The movie is a separate movie.
Don't know whether it was the same actors, but the production
seems to be done by the same people. I say seems because I
haven't checked for sure.

midway stars Charlton Heston, Robert Mitchum and others.

\_ Yeah, I know about the real life part. I was just
wonder about the two movies. Thanks. -- yuen
wondering about the two movies. Thanks. -- yuen
\_ I thought that Midway happened before the Japanese
surprise attacked the US at Pearl Harbor. Doh! --dim
\_ I know you are being sarcastic, but these days,
you never know what people know about WWII.
\_ Pfft. You call that island hopping WWII? WWII
happened on the Russian steppes.

Watching the film, one would almost think that Japan's actions in that war were blameless. The film is simply wrong when it fails to condemn the violations of International Law that occurred when it attacked Pearl Harbor without warning and when it fails to condemn Japan's barbaric treatment of its enemies and the civilian populations of China and Korea, to name a few.
