JJ: Do you know people who served in wars? Have you ever visited any army bases around the world?
R: When we were preparing for this movie, I had to do a lot of research. I ended up boarding a destroyer [warship] in San Diego. We filmed a lot of the film in Pearl Harbor itself, so just being there was a really crazy moment for us. And being on board the U.S.S. Missouri, it really blows your mind that you’re there on the actual ship that this stuff happened on years ago.

It puts a lot [of things] into perspective when you really get to talk to those guys.
