Please ignore the reviews of some of the millennials which are posted for this film; they just do not understand the time period and the emotional atmosphere of the US in 1942. When this film was made, the US was getting pushed around pretty good in the Pacific; it was not until Guadalcanal a year or so later that the US won its first land battle in the area. This film shows the unpreparedness of the US Armed forces in the Pacific at the time. Military units were basically using WW 1 tactics for fighting a modern war, and the Japanese were well ahead of the US technically in several areas in 1942. However, the might of US manufacturing and the will of the US fighting man soon overcame these temporary deficiencies. This film, being made precisely in that time period, along with a few other films of that time period, depict the hopelessness and despair that most US military personnel had to endure privately. Publically, they put on a brave front, as depicted in the film. Yes, there are several corny scenes, and the film is dated in some places. But it certainly captures the atmosphere of the time period. Things were not PC in those days, and the dialogue reflects that. That's just the way it was. So, this film is for adults, not millennials, who want everything to be PC.
