>I liked this comment from a review of Pearl Harbour. "This American interpretation of the Japanese invasion is very respectful to the Japanese and doesn't show them as tyrants. I liked that the Japanese were perceived as doing a strategic thing and that they knew that they were awakening a sleeping giant."

IMO, Tora, Tora, Tora was a much better movie, less pretensious, more accurate, and the Japanese commander says the same thing at the end of the movie as the fleet sails back to Tokyo.
