Patriotically Superb

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2001)

When a true story of a horrible tragedy is told there are great expectations hanging in the balance. Will the story be told accurately and factual? Will the individuals and their families who took part in the actual event feel honored in the way that they should or will they be displeased with the way it was told? In this such case a truly inspiring film about a historical event was told in such a way that the shock of the event was felt again. This movie will help innovate the way many people look at the attack on Pearl Harbor who never really grasped the intensity, the pain, and the losses that we suffered during that time, but will also help them come to realize how from such a tragedy came a new understanding of our place as Americans, a new maturity as a country, and finally a more noble and victorious outlook as a nation. This movie was undoubtedly the most moving movie I have ever seen. An outstanding on the edge of your seat story portrayed in a way that you have come to expect from Michael Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. Definitely one of the best must see movies of the year!
