December 7

December 7 was a film that must have been thought of as incredible when it was first seen. The use of miniatures to show what happened during the fighting was used extremely well. A person going to see this film when it first came out must have thought that it was actually shot when the attack on Pearl Harbor took place. A film like December 7, if it was done today, would mostly be special effects. December 7, on the other hand, used models to make the fighting seem real. The shots may not have been completely accurate, but one could easily believe that it was real when the film first came out.

December 7 was not only a way of showing people what happened at pearl Harbor, but also gave a strong feeling of just how great the United States is. Even though many people were killed in the bombing, the film made it seem that the U.S. was barely affected by the tragedy. The film tried to make it seem like the Japanese failed in their attempts to hinder the U.S. People were seen getting ready for any other possible attacks, making it seem like the Japanese should not even bother attempting another attack because the U.S. will undoubtedly be ready for anything they can throw at us. This film was a great way to make people see the greatness of the U.S. and make them think that nothing bad could ever happen to us. Pearl Harbor may have been a horrible tragedy, but the film shows people that the U.S. can overcome any type of obstacle, no matter how large.
