Movie Review | Tora! Tora! Tora! (Fleischer, Fukasaku & Masuda, 1970)

Because I’m still under the weather and still in need of some cinematic comfort food in the form of old big budget war films, I decided to give this a rewatch. Now, I haven’t seen this in at least ten years, and my vague recollection of the thing was that it was mostly a little boring until the big battle scene at the end. As of this viewing, that’s likely an accurate if not especially generous assessment, but I’d argue that the movie is doing something interesting with the relative dryness of the buildup to the climactic event. What it’s giving you a sense of is the way the war machine operates on both the American and Japanese side, the slowness or speed with which the wheels can spin, and the difficulty in reversing course when the wheels spin so adamantly in one direction.

De-emphasizing the human element and downplaying the screen presences of the actors probably makes it harder to have any real emotional investment in the proceedings, but it does help give you a sense of the importance of information in military strategy, the way it can be collected, transmitted, misinterpreted or outright dismissed to disastrous results. I did find interesting the contrast with which the American and Japanese are depicted on a basic dramatic level. On the American side we mostly see the brass, more interested in dinner parties and golfing trips than in taking the impending threat seriously. On the Japanese side, we spend a decent amount of time with the pilots who will fly the mission, and see them bonding over a guessing game of the American ships they are supposed to destroy. If anyone in the movie has actual blood running through their veins, it’s them. If there’s a provocative idea in the movie, it’s that the Americans faced disaster at Pearl Harbor because they viewed it purely as a speculative exercise, while the Japanese viewed it as a matter of personal stakes.

Of course, the real reason to watch this is for its spectacular recreation of the attack on Pearl Harbor. I can’t find the exact quote at the moment, but Roger Ebert once observed that prior to CGI, every movie was essentially a documentary of its own making, and in this case, you are to some extent watching a large scale restaging of the attack. I say something like this pretty much every time I watch one of these old big budget epics, but you take all these planes swooping through the air and all these ships getting blown to smithereens and all these extras scurrying about, and the cumulative effect can be overwhelming. (The verisimilitude is enhanced somewhat morbidly by a number of close calls during production.) Compared to Michael Bay’s depiction of the event a few decades later, the presentation here is less giddy, but maybe not entirely, as we still follow a bomb dropped by a Japanese fighter all the way down. And it’s no less tightly assembled, giving shape to what must have felt like a chaos from the ground, even when it cuts to bursts of handheld when the action moves to the ships’ decks. And maybe the dryness of the earlier sections was an astute calculation in another respect, as it makes these scenes feel all the more visceral.

The Last Days of Planet Earth (1974)

Directed by Toshio Masuda

Given the current headlines, honestly this movie could have made today. A very different kind of Toho movie. Originally called Prophecies of Nostradamus. I stayed up late to watch it in 1987. I still have the VHS. Sorry, this movie has been on my mind a lot lately.

Scanned by me.

I don’t think she ever wears this outfit in the movie, but it’s what she’s wearing on the poster, too.
