“I plan on going to see this movie today.”
This movie did a great job in its attention to detail. Watch at the start of the movie and look at Yamamoto’s left hand. It is missing two fingers as he lost it in the Russo-Japanese War. Then watch the sailors receiving medals in May 1942. For a second you can see a black sailor in line. That is Doris “Dorie” Miller receiving his medal for heroism on December 7.
He was portrayed by Cuba Gooding Jr. in "Pearl Harbor" . (He's way better than Ben Affleck)
