Customer Reviews of Pearl Harbor - December 7, 1941 (Commemorative Edition)
Two Discs-- Two Different I deas... When I purchased this DVD I was particularly interested in bonus material that is on Disc 2. With that said, lets start from the beginning. Strangely enough, the discs seem to be in reverse order, The title of the Package says PEARL HARBOR!
Disc one contains 2 Featurettes: A. KAMIKAZE Which was a documentary filmed from 1951, about an hour long with a mixture of footage from various sources which seems to dance around the subject of "Devine Wind" with talking about EVERYTHING ELSE. Still with this in mind, this has some great footage of Japanese planes and pilots from the IJN and IJAAF film cans. The second half of Disc 1 is a feature B. "KNOW Your Enemy" Directed by Frank Capra which is a Glaring example U.S. Anti-Japanese propaganda from Early 1945 ( They reference Harry Truman as the President) This is something for a Mature well grounded adult audience with historical knowledge as it is so slanted and racist, and there are several pieces of film that are meant to shock the viewer, particularly about death and dead bodies of Chinese children and others dead with their hands tied behind their backs -so be prepared. A good insight into the political machinery of the time. Great Cartoon like illustrations of the "Japanese Octopus" taking islands...
Disc 2. is the treat, With 3 Featurettes A. Pearl Harbor Newsreel ( Great Footage !) B. Formal Japanese Surrender ( So-so) And --The coolest thing, C." Recognize the Japanese Zero" with Ronald Reagan! Playing a pilot that learns how to identify a Zero vs. the P-40 Warhawk definitely and early war classic and worth the price of admission. The discs also have some neat scans of a couple of Newspapers from December 41' with interesting news stories.
It's kind of neat
When I got this DVD I was completely unaware that both documentaries were produced in the 50s. The audio/visual aspect was terrible due to it's age. The material ,though was facinating. There was some incredible footage thad I'd never seen before. The majority of the material seemed more like a recruiting film rather than a documentary but again, that's partialy due to it's age.
Bottom Line: It's old but it's interesting.
It's a great movie
It's really thrilling and exciting. It makes you feel like your almost in the movie. It makes us remember who fought for us in Pearl Harbor and all those people who lost their lives in Pearl Harbor
