Cool story. Let’s hope this gets preserved.
What WW2 movie would you like to see made?

Speaking of low-budget movies about famous WWII battles, the world record for cheap production values (and story brevity) probably has to go to the “re-enactment” of the Battle of Pearl Harbor which appears in the Monty Python movie “And Now for Something Completely Different”. The re-enactors are old ladies (actually the Python actors dressed as old ladies) who are members of a historical society, and they start by introducing their re-enactment project to the audience with a serious and sweet and low-key verbal presentation delivered straight as the camera. Then we see the re-enactment, which consists of about twenty seconds of high-speed footage of the “ladies” clubbing each other with their handbags while rolling around in the mud. To its credit, I really enjoyed this sequence, whereas I’ve never seen the apparently atrocious Pearl Harbor movie with Ben Affleck.

If you want to see Pearl Harbor done right, check out the Japanese film on the subject, “The Admiral”… I have it on Blue Ray, very well done… you can see some of the footage here (it’s also a newer film then Ben Affleck’s).

Ya, no problem, I have other links to really good unknown films on the page 2 of this thread… you can get any of these films from Amazon… I have “The Admiral” on Blue-Ray from Amazon, great film.

I assume you got the single disc release? Does it have an English language track, like the trailer? From what I have seen, it looks like all versions only have English subtitles.

English subtitles… but if that is a problem, you can always just learn fluent Japanese.
(kinda funny, but it reminds me of my parents old living room TV back in the 1980s… it was a very old TV and cut-off the bottom of the screen… I used to like to watch WWII movies, and when the Germans were on speaking in German, the subtitles were always cut off… it annoyed me so much, I took several years of German in school so I didn’t have to read the subtitles!).

Gotcha. No thanks. I have barely passable German as-is.
