*Spoiler/plot- 1943, A documentary that discusses and shows the many US military command and government war actions during the WW2 Pacific theater.
*Special Stars- Director: John Ford
*Theme- The US will win against any obstacle.
*Trivia/location/goofs- Documentary made up of recreation with actors from narrative films and live action combat or newsreel footage. John Ford was a command naval officer.
*Emotion- An enjoyable and this is really an impressive war documentary. It suffers from the staged or fake reenactment scenes to complete the narrative. Once you've seen this you can understand what all those war films have been trying to achieve. However, there are the unpleasant shots of injured Americans and some blatant racism in the form of the word use of 'Japs or 'Nips'. But it is extremely educational and does what a narrative simulated war film can do. You do have to put up with the blatant propaganda but this actually helps put the documentary in its war era context, providing an insight into social and political opinion of the time.
