HACKSAW RIDGE is a great Christian war movie superbly directed by Mel Gibson about Desmond Doss, a conscientious objector, who received the Medal of Honor for his bravery in the Battle of Okinawa in World War II.
TORA! TORA! TORA! is a first-rate depiction of the attack, from both the American and the Japanese perspective. With tremendous production values, this excellent epic movie shows Japanese Admiral Tamamoto telling his commanders they are about to awake a sleeping giant. Tora! Tora! Tora! was the Japanese code for the surprise attack. This 1970 movie deals directly with the attack on Pearl Harbor. Not necessarily in order of recommendation: They show the absolutely horrible price the world pays for appeasing tyrants. These movies show what happens when you lack the necessary resolve before you’re attacked but show incredible resolve once you’ve been attacked.
To avoid World War III, America needs to have the strength and determination to deter those who would consider starting it. December 7, 2023, marks the 82nd Anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a day that will live in infamy.
