Wake Island emotionally and enthrallingly depicts the harsh

Wake Island emotionally and enthrallingly depicts the harsh reality that the United States Marines experienced in December 1941 as they tried to repel the Japanese Navy immediately following the attacks on Pearl Harbor. Trumpets blare at the outset of this movie as a narrator explains what the year 1941 was like for Marines stationed on Wake Island before the Japanese attack. While the film begins with a disclaimer explaining that all of the characters are fictional and their names are not the names of actual people who fought at Wake Island, it is evident that this movie makes every attempt to depict each violent incident as accurately as possible. There is no glorification; the honest depiction of Marines living, fighting, and dying for their country is enough to evoke admiration for the fallen Marines from the audience at home. Directed by John Farrow with a strong supporting cast this is a very good watch.

The dialogue between the soldiers really brings this

The dialogue between the soldiers really brings this film down...super cringe, even by 1940s standards

This fictionalized telling of the Battle of Wake

This fictionalized telling of the Battle of Wake Island should have stuck more closely with what actually happened and the actual people. The film is well-paced and has a great cast -- but it dissolves into a bunch of cliches by the midpoint.
