Pearl Harbor 1941

This was a propaganda film, full length about the attack on Pearl Harbor. I found it quite interesting. I thought I'd share the link to the movie here for anyone who may be interested. It is 1 hour 15 minutes in length.

Much better than the Ben Affleck version.

Uncle Sam at his peevish best.

He needs to get back into the PSA business. He should also ditch the star-spangled vest for a tropical shirt.

Don't remind me, that movie is so bad I have trouble watching it even getting riffed on

And with this one, up to a point I was actually really impressed at how well it was treating the subject of Japanese-Americans.... and then it jumped the propaganda shark

Understandable given when it was made I guess, but still makes me sad - there's never been evidence of any significant collaborationism among them, while the heroism of Japanese-Americans serving in the armed forces during WWII was vast and undeniable.

I think after that one, watching this documentary should be mandatory to fix up perceptions:
