Journal Article
Awakening A Sleeping Giant: The Pearl Harbor Attack on Film
1997
Overview
Recalls characterizations of American films that dramatized the events surrounding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Discusses the mindset of U.S. educated Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, engineer of the attack, and the effect of the timing and critical elements of the attack on the perception of the attack in American films. Mentions aspects of propaganda and notes that a key persuasive device used might be characterized as the assignation of guilt in scapegoat messages. Examines these messages in films such as \"Black Dragons\" (1942), \"They Were Expendable\" (1945), \"China Girl\" (1942), and others.
