Waterline Action/Drama(japanese side)

January 20, 2006

When Pearl Harbor the movie was released back in 2001,it was a hit.The movie concentrated on the plot of the japanese to attack pearl harbor and the capsizing of USS Arizona and some other ships(Pacific Fleet) in the hawaiian coast.Japanese people looked like they are gruesome killers there..

 
Now..In Japan,They Recently released a film(a Big bidgeted one) about the Battleship Yamato(which is the biggest battleship ever made to date,apart from the Battleship Musashi which really is the biggest but lasted only until 1944 when it sank in Sibuyan Sea here in philippines)..The plot of the story,April 6 1945 is the Last operation of the Imperial fleet called “ten go“(Yamato along with Cruiser Yahagi and 8 destroyers) to attack the US troops landing on the west of the japanese island.It was a desperate suicide mission indeed,but one that would be a landmark in WWII history.Follow day,They were sighted by the US submarines and immediately launched more than 300  warplanes off the us carriers to engage the japanese fleet..The yamato took some super heavy beating before it sank(4 hours long of battle,10 torpedo hits and 8 aerial bombs in the different sections of it)..Lives Lost: More than 2000 men.

This movie seems promising(well at least to me because im really following world war II stories).Pretty dramatic too..It can change the view of many people..Though i doubt if it will be released here or even in US..I will wait for the DVD!

Some Trivia:

USS Arizona=185 meters in length

Battleship Yamato = 263 meters in length

That means more action and firepower!hahaha…There has not been a bigger ship and firepower to match yamato till now..Thats why its a legend.
