Pearl Harbor (2001) REACTION

One thing they got right with this film is that it really was a surprise attack. Whole battle sequence is also brutal.

Brutal yes, but the Japanese did not bomb or strafe any hospitals during the real attack.

@@harley2704 The problem is that it's not particularily entertaining either. This is like a love story with a war movie tacked on. And it's possible to get a fairly historically accurate movie while still being entertaining. Midway(2019) is an example of that, where the historical details were atleast broadly accurate.

[@Cosmo-Kramer]

@@TheOfficial007 I'm sure some details are off, but I'm satisfied they got the gist of the attack and our response correct enough. I think the picture is unfairly maligned because of its love story and that the actor some people love to malign, Ben Affleck, is in it. I think he and Hartnett and Beckinsale do excellent work in the film. But beyond that, the cinematography of the attack on PH, and the Zeros flying low over the islands on their approach is stunning and chilling to watch.

The DoLittle Raid took place on April 18, 1942. About two weeks later the Battle of the Coral Sea. And a month later the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. In that 50 days the U.S. went from a purely defensive position in the Pacific to sinking 4 of Japans front line carriers and ending Japan's ambitions in the Pacific.

[@jamesmohan7301]

When news reached Roosevelt that 4 carriers had sunk at midway. Roosevelt's initial reaction was something along the lines of "I thought we only had 3 left" because Midway was merely just a less than hopeful effort to stop the Japanese.

And the Doolittle Raid was actually quite the feat, and we were at war declared with the Japan at the time. They were caught unaware because we were genuinely out of range they totally did not think that we could get planes anywhere close to the mainland. Even though the bombers did you damage it wasn't all that devastating physically but it shook them to the Core especially in their morale. It showed Japan that we are coming. Doolittle would get the Congressional Medal of Honor for it and amazingly a great amount of our crews came home

[@scarecrow108productions7]

The Japanese fighter plane y'all saw Danny and Rafe shooting at were called Zeros and in order for them to fly at over 350 mph they had to sacrifice a lot of armor so with a few well placed bullets from a 50 caliber AA gun or that BAR light machine gun y'all saw once the two pilots were up in the air the Zero would stand a pretty good chance of going down in flames. And in case y'all are wondering AA stands for Anti-Aircraft and BAR is short for Browning Automatic Rifle, the rifles the Japanese patrol men were carrying were Type 99 Arisaka bolt action rifles, the grenade you saw Gooz grab was a Type 99 Kiska, and the pistols being used by the downed bomber pilots were Browning M1911 which are still being used by American service men and women. And if anyone is curious about why I know so much about weaponry from WW2 I have a book on every infantry weapon, armored vehicle, tanks, aircraft, artillery, and ships used by both The Allies and The Axis

[@Commander-vf1lk]

Because most people are in agreement its probably one of the worst "war movies" ever made, so many things are just blatantly wrong, from rafe waring an American military uniform in Britten to help the RAF, to the Japanese bombing the hospital and mowing down civilians in the streets. the only part of this movie that is good is the actual Harbor attack scene on Battleship row, everything else is hollywood Big Boom is Cool garbage, aside from this being the 1940s and yet they are blowing up Missile defence frigits from the 1960s.

@@Cosmo-Kramer Go watch Tora Tora Tora and read some history books that are NOT written by Americans. America made many mistakes on the morning of December 7 1941 and paid a heavy price for it.

In the initial attack at Pearl Harbor, we lost about 3,000 people, which did not include wounded. A lot of what happened in the battle is accurate. We were able to get a couple p-40's in the air, and they were able to do damage, but not a lot. Cuba Gooding Jr. Actually plays Dory Miller, a cook, who manned a gun, was able to down zeros, and got the Navy Cross. A Medal of Honor winner was also depicted in the film Manning a gun, though I don't remember his name, but he was there the entire attack. Saw an interview with him in the 60th anniversary, and he was quite the character, old man still full of life.

The bombs were dropped to end the war. Because if we had landed troops on the main islands of Japan. MILLIONS of people would have died. Japan would have had every one fighting. Every man, woman, and child. It would have been whole same slaughter for both sides. Japan wasn’t going to quit.

[@williambranch4283]

The Doolittle raid was done only once ... nobody had ever flown a bomber off a carrier, or ever did it again. The Japanese Army in China tortured and murdered 10,000 civilians in China searching for Doolittle's raiders. In a subsequent pacification campaign the Japanese killed 250,000 Chinese civilians and tested biological weapons on them. The reaction of the Japanese Navy to their failure to protect Tokyo led to the Battle of Midway, which was a great defeat for Japan.

The Japanese did not mean to sneak attack, that would have been against the Bushido code ingrained in them from the feudal times of the Samurai. Secretary Hull kept the Japanese Ambassador and staff waiting in his waiting room out of arrogance. A storm blocked the Navy radio network, and the Army and Navy were not allowed to use each other's Radio networks and the message had to go by Western Union from Alaska. Meanwhile, the Ambassador from Japan did not get to inform the USA that Japan had declared war and the attack that was to happen thirty minutes later was done a little late but still before Ambassador Nomura Could pass along Prime Minister Tojo's declaration of war. It was an accident caused by Hull.

You can’t please everybody. I’ve heard several people (all guys) diss on the love story. Glad you liked it. A few historical notes: The Japanese did want and hope for peace, but they were preparing for the worst. Their declaration of war was intended to arrive just before the attack began. But they had reduced the staff at their embassy, that was to deliver it. By the time they had decoded the message, the attack had already happened. The explosion on the Arizona is thought to have killed over 1,000 people. I was bothered by the part where they couldn’t cut the guys out of the ship in time. I have learned, since then, that it didn’t happen. They were just able to get the men out in time at the one or two holes they made. According to one author, there were 9,834 ships sunk in WW2, including military and merchant. I completely agree with you about thousands dying due to other people’s ambitions.

Saw this in theaters with my dad and we both loved it. I've seen Tora Tora Tora and Midway but this one is my favorite because it tells a story alongside the historical facts, and while the events may not be entirely accurate it still hits home the tragedy of the attack and the resulting strike back. I like that this story is told through the eyes of two childhood friends and the love story felt like a completely believable one. The love triangle was a direct result of war and not any of them being unfaithful; it's an all too common thing to have two people get together while trying to support one another with their grief over a shared loss. Seeing this happen in the movie makes me think of how many soldiers have gone through a similar situation throughout history. While these characters may be fictional, their story can easily represent hundreds or even thousands of people that history has forgotten.

My favorite thing about the attack scene (minus the counter attack by our MCs) is trying to ID what ships are CGI and which are real, modern warships. Like at 22:50. The ship in the foreground, with 1062 painted on its side, is I believe the USS Whipple FF-1062, a Knot-class frigate. It would match up too because just a year after the move released, the Whipple was sold to the Mexican Navy, where she still serves. Leave the hospital alone ? Girls, you don't want to know what the Japanese did to people in hospitals.

One of the aspects of Pirl Harbor many mis is how lucky America was that the fleet was in port. Had they been at sea Every ship would have sunk to deep to be recovered and taken their entire crews with them. As it was, they had sunk in shallow water making salvage possible and crew members could swim ashore.

The doolittle raid was done solely as a psychological impact on japan after the attack of pearl harbor. Showing that the US also had the capability of striking their homeland, as suicidal as it may seem, it was a huge moral booster to the American people when they needed it most.

For me the true and most beautiful love story of Pearl Harbor is Danny & Evelyn ! Forever ❤

[@thomasluke-wp8or]

I loved the amount of real footage used

[@sibarra417]

last February I was on a family trip in Honolulu at the disney moana resort me and my brother visited the pearl harbor memorial to pay our respects...and took the tour it was something I will never forget, especially the memorial over the U.S.S Arizona and seeing the ship submerged just underneath the surface I never felt so much emotion of sadness, reading the list of the casualties that happened. I recommend to anyone who visits Honolulu should visit the pearl harbor memorial.

[@ccink3931]

OMG!!! I've been telling ppl to react to this movie for months finally someone did it! 😂

[@javix2013]

First reaction of this movie in KZbin.

[@ccink3931]

@@javix2013 for real? You would think it would get requested lot more. Everyone has the same #1 fav war movie which is obvs Saving Private Ryan but my 2nd fav is this one Pearl Harbor

[@Cybertron-cs7sk]

I love this movie beautiful score, amazing battle scenes incredible acting awesome visual effects so underrated.

[@ЕленаПономарева-о6о]

You forgot say dumb)))))

[@javix2013]

Old school effects are the best effects

[@leepagnini6273]

I am pausing @24:25, He will NOT be good at shooting the gun! Blacks were not trained on the guns. He was a cook (notable apron and white pants and T-shirt) During this attack at Pearl Harbor, a Black Cook Second Class Doris Miller, got on a machine gun and manned it until he ran out of ammunition. He recieved the Navy Cross. @25:14, The Japanese were not signers of the Geneva Convention and they DID NOT avoid hitting Hospitals. Now you know why we hated the Japanese. Great Triangle Love Story, (great screw- up love story) I loved your tears, you are awesome.

[@waynehatchell6343]

Y'all should watch Midway then watch The Pacific series. I think you'll like it. One another note try watching Flags of our father (USA point of view) and Letters from Iwo Jima (Japan's point of view). Also watch Unbroken, a true story of an incredible American POW held in a camp near Tokyo.

[@Matt-tj7be]

It's very sad that we live in a world that's become filled with war/conflict and hate. I haven't seen this movie for a few years and this is a reminder of one of many conflicts that have happened throughout history and so many lost their lives. If they fought, or were on the sidelines it's still sad.

[@isaiahmetz1341]

I’ve been waiting for this reaction!! I hope Ellie and them can react to it eventually!

[@JedHead77]

If you go to Pearl Harbor today, you must visit the memorials. 🥀🇺🇸

[@Alex.Kaleipahula]

U from Hawaii too?

[@michaelriddick7116]

If you to want to watch an accurate portrayal of the attack, including the Japanese point of view, you need to watch "Tora! Tora! Tora!" :)

[@Manu-rb6eo]

WAY WAY WAY better than this thing.

[@nathangallegos9304]

All I can say is the Japanese deserved what they got they started a fight and we finished it. They just be glad we didn’t invade and nuked the entire island of Japan

[@Eileen139]

i was going to say this!

[@dnvbulletprof7552]

DANNY I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER, this is my favorite movie of all times

[@Dene181]

Damn great reaction, very emotional yet perfectly fitting.👌😊You said that you saw many sides of war, I suggest "Battle for Sevastopol" telling the story of a badass female soviet soldier in WW2 and of course, there is a love story involved. She is also known as "Lady Death".

[@Manu-rb6eo]

This thing is FULL with historical inaccuracies and lies. Watch Tora Tora Tora it's WAY better. Based on real witnesses of the event only and people who were involved were also working in this film. Same as "the longest day" or a bridge to far.

[@ultimategamer1840]

Tora Tora Tora is the best movie out there about the attack on Pearl Harbor.

[@mamarre25]

I love this 53:53 😭🥺❤️ I can see your reactions are so real in scenes like this 🥺🥺🥺

[@davidclark1896]

They couldn't even jump in the water when the boats are going down because the oil that was on fire if they jumped in the water they would have burned up to

[@xxluchianxx]

How does one defend without someone attacking first? No one’s going to send out a courier to tell them “hey we are going to attack at 9am if that’s ok with you” 😂

[@dewidavies9161]

At last people reacting to pearl harbour.. And it's from the best girls out there and Larry 😂😂😂

[@GeekofCinema_LK]

Soundtrack of this movie🥺

[@zandylovesrisk]

Leading up to the Attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan had been able to move about in the pacific and take much control but they were short on natural resources mainly oil. they divisive that a critical blow to the American fleet at Pearl would allow them 6 month to quickly move about the pacific and take what land they needed to win the war for them. the US only thinking that an attack could come by stealth and sabotage, decided to park the ships near each other to prevent that. instead the Japanese sailed northeast of Hawaii and launched their fighters so the US radar facilities would think they were Americans. Luckily our aircraft carriers(primary target) had sailed to sea just before the attack so the Japanese couldn't change their strategy.

[@CaptainDarkFighter]

fun fact: O'ahu is where they filmed jurrassic park

[@SimonSays729]

Finally. Pearl Harbor reaction. :D

[@ronlackey2689]

They crash landed in China (as was the plan) but parts of China were occupied by the Japanese army at the time.

[@rolliepollie94]

The bomb that hit the Arizona was 1 of 10 bombs. Shortly after 8am, at 10,000ft, the first 3 fell and caused only minor damage to the ship, while the 4th glanced off the corner of turret #2 and went through 5 decks into the powder room. The explosion in actuality killed 1749 people. Another 27 drowned as she sank, and the last one was shot from the ship's tower from a straffing attack. There's a clip of the actual explosion and you could see a bomb barely miss the ship right before the explosion occurs. Truly terrible day.

[@nickgillingham5575]

girls you might recognize the actress that protrayed the nurse. She was in Underworld Movie as Victors Daughter. great reaction as always!!!

[@lyndoncmp5751]

The "slice of cake" cliffs are the south east coast of England. The so called White Cliffs of Dover. Royal Air Force Spitfires vs German Messerschmitt Bf109s. Most people think it's supposed to be the Battle of Britain, but not in that time line. It's 1941.
