| Bravo, bravo, bravo for Tora, Tora, Tora! |
| The speech of Mr.Hull and the Japanese Ambassador's face at the end... |
Not even Pearl Harbor (the weepy love story) or even Longest Day.
The haunting, beautiful music, the silent ecstasy of the Japanese, their anger in Yamamoto not following up with a 2nd attack, the silent agony of the American Decoder who knows they are going to attack, the urgent need for recognizing the significance of 1 PM in the message not yet arrived, the last speech of Yamamoto as he says nothing infuriates the Americans more than unannounced attack, his loneliness as he wanders out of his Flagship alone knowing he has sowed the wind and will be reaping the whirlwind.
This is a movie far far beyond its time and far ahead of its time.
No graphics, no weepy love story, no crap about heroism of the two pilots, etc.
Plain unvarnished, to the point, kick-in-butt film.
