This movie goes way out of proportion to what really happened that day in Pearl Harbor, but it is a MOVIE! Get over it. It's not supposed to be real."Pearl Harbor" is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack. Pearl Harbor is a movie and a damned good one at that. The actors in Tora, Tora, Tora were wooden and detached. I remember thinking that as a child too.
