The extensive work they did shows the weight of this film; it features participants in events, high-ranking officers, politicians, ordinary civilians, and common soldiers. Throughout the approximately 26-hour film, there is not a single repeated shot; all footage is sourced from wartime propaganda films or photographs. The narration is by Sir Laurence Olivier, and anyone who has heard him interpret Hamlet's "to be or not to be" should remember his voice. Additionally, the documentary was sponsored by the British Museum, with each episode formed by independent production teams, each with its own writers and directors, and then reviewed by specially hired historians, resulting in meticulous production. I believe that there has never been, and probably never will be in the future, a documentary that surpasses this film in reflecting World War II. 　　It is quite refreshing to see a documentary translated like this for the first time. However, what lingers in my mind is the shock the film brought me; when I saw the firsthand accounts appearing on the screen, is there anything more persuasive than that? For example, in Episode 7, "The Thousand Days of Japan," the Pearl Harbor incident is narrated, with interviews from Japanese military planners, navy officers from the task force, Japanese spies stationed at Pearl Harbor, Japanese pilots who launched the airstrike, American army and navy officers, sailors, and even civilians present at Pearl Harbor at that time. The brief 20-minute narrative remains unforgettable.
