Prof. Edwin T. Layton, Jr. was my Ph.D. advisor at the University of Minnesota back in the early 1990s. He told me that his father frequently enjoyed late-night sake-drinking parties with Admiral Yamamoto and other leading Japanese-navy lights when he was stationed in Japan. Invariably, they would trade secrets and strategic insights. This is how his father learned just how deep the influence Mahan’s naval doctrine was in Japan at that time, which proved so crucial for his intelligence reasoning that Midway was the target.

[rolandmiller]

By the way what he says is true. Yamamoto was targeted for assassination. When that conversation happened I believe he was vice minister of the navy. He was later moved to become commander chief of the Japanese fleet Which means he was at sea. That order came directly from the Emperor.

Play something else that also is fairly well known but doesn't get the attention it should.2 different Navy admirals in the 1930s proved that the attack of Pearl Harbor could work. Nobody paid attention.

[bigrich]

Great, straight forward movie, without the stupid love triangle crap in Pearl Harbor.

After watching this and seeing Japanese and US naval ships conduct joint exercises on a monthly basis, I really feel how things have changed. The current Japanese Navy has one of the best relations with the US Navy, and their alliance has exponentially grown in the past two decades. Likewise, we are now seeing British naval ships, including their aircraft carriers, come all the way to Japan for joint training, highlighting the de-facto semi-alliance between the two countries. Multilateral exercises among Japan, US, UK, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines etc. are a new normal now.

Wow! Miss this war movies! Will catch at Amazon, now!😊

[bavariancarenthusiast]

What a great movie - I watched it several times never gets old.

Ending the conversation with sayonara was a barbed/foreshadowing response.

In Japanese, sayonara is a phrase that doesn’t have a direct translation in English. The best translation would be something along the lines of ‘so long’, but even that doesn’t fully work as a translation.

Sayonara is a farewell statement reserved for somebody you don’t think you’ll see again.

Saying it to an emissary effectively means that you’re about to be engaged in war and won’t meet again.

[markp]

Was really done well. I was going to see it alone and my wife said she wanted to go and she actually liked a war movie and learned something.

[mikes]

And the moral of the story is, don't depend on foreign energy supplies.

[jiyushugi]

Those interested in reading a Japanese pilot's account of the battle should read 'The Miraculous Torpedo Squadron', the autobiography of Juzo Mori. Only recently translated into English, Mori's memoir includes vivid descriptions of his life in pre-war Japan, training to become an IJN pilot, flying in China, training for and carrying out the attack on Pearl Harbor, and his roles in the attacks on Wake, Midway and Guadalcanal.

[johntu]

strategically, Japan underestimated the full capacity and resolve of the United States. Yamamoto himself famously recognized Japan couldn't sustain a long war against America. Thus, rather than being literally blind, Japan's leadership at that time was shortsighted or willfully blind regarding the long-term consequences of their aggression.

[Tonysmithmusic]

it was a case of national insanity for the japanese military controlled govt to think they could defeat US and all its allies in a war, once america industry got up to speed their total defeat was inevitable. i’ve just finished reading ian tolls 3 volume pacific war books, incredible detail in these books.

[jedgarren]

I bought this movie from iTunes and I am Damn glad I did.

[caprera]

Too bad for the exaggerated special effects this movie was very good

[jeffreypeterson]

I love the wasn't your empire built on ridiculous traditions line

[ericericson]

Actually, the fuel tanks along with the submarine base were the targets that were supposed to be on the third attack wave. Of the twenty-six planes that were lost at Pearl, twenty-three were shot down on the second attack wave. It was felt that the element of surprise was lost, plus they did not know where the American carriers were. It was better, they thought, to get out with a resounding victory, having achieved the main objective, crippling the Pacific fleet and with their fleet untouched. The submarine Pacific force turned out to be the main reason for the victory in the Pacific.

[ShaneKilpatrick-it]

Yamamoto. Awesome man. Didn’t want war with the U.S. He had seen the might of American Industry. However, when it came, he did everything he could to win. If only the Japanese had hit the fuel tanks at Pearl Harbour. What a difference that would have been.

[longtabsigo]

The houses in this scene, I used to live there. 27 Worchester Ave.

[timothywalker]

Good opening I was late to that movie. Yamamoto talking about an oil embargo from the U.S and the short war Versus long war very true.

[matthewdudley]

Why was there only ONE Medal of Honor awarded for the Battle of Midway if it was so important in U.S. history? So many sacrifices. I will admit I have a bias, as I graduated from the same high school as the only Medal of Honor winner from that battle USMC Capt. Richard Fleming. So many other men gave their lives in a similar fashion...
