#pearlharborday — Public Fediverse posts

Watching one of our favorite films for December, the tragic Tora!Tora!Tora! Directors Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda, and Kinji Fukasaku. It’s the Japanese version with 2 addional scenes and director commentary, watching it with subtitles. Actors, production values, cinematography are brilliant. When it first came out I watched it for the battleship destruction, but have come to appreciate its political tragedy narrative.

A pop culture reminder that "Order 66" (an "automatic" order to summarily execute a targeted group without conscious thought) from the Star Wars prequels was probably based on "Executive Order 9066," signed by FDR, which sent about 120,000 innocent Americans into concentration camps for the heinous crime of looking like the enemy during wartime.

A reminder on a date which will live in infamy, seeing as how we seem poised to rhyme history again with the promised policies of the incoming administration. #PearlHarborDay #NidotoNaiYoni #ForcedDeportation

Today I watched #TheWindRises , a beautiful animated biography of a Japanese aeronautical engineer in the years before #WWII . It was just a coincidence that it happened to be #PearlHarborDay .

It was a touching story with an amazing cast for the English-language version.

Interestingly, #EmilyBlunt plays the wife in The Wind Rises and in #Oppenheimer , providing both bookends for the war.

#PearlHarborDay: In the early morning of Dec. 7, 1941, the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, was attacked by the Japanese. Here are some facts about the event:

Remembrance for the Day the Cat Jumped.

And, as taught me by Dr. Ginger Wilson at Duke University when I was 13 years old: just as it’s necessary to remember the infamy of Dec. 7, 1941, so too must we remember the infamy of Executive Order 9066, which two months later authorized the forced relocation of Japanese-Americans — #Issei and #Nisei alike — from the West Coast of the United States to internment camps further inland.
