I must have been 12 or 13 when I first saw this movie. My dad made me watch it with him. It is probably one of the sources that inspired me to love history so much. I probably didn't know it at the time. I have it still on vhs, but it would be great toget it on DVDs to be able to show parts of it to my students to allow them to analyze the Japanese perspective of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Of course, it is too long to be able to show the whole film. It would make a great piece to use after reading some of the biographies from Professor Yamashita's book. The students can compare and contrast the depictions of Japanese perspectives and evaluate which one gives a truer point of view.
