Pearl Harbor MUST NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2001)

Pearl Harbor and so many other movies about World War II and all other wars are a necessary evil. The knowledge and awareness there is about history no longer seems to come from our public educational system.
We must rely on movies to impart our history to us now, or so it seems.

The knowledge of all past wars and its horrors must never be forgotten. How much better but with such a movie as this?
The ladies and gentlemen who made this movie have provided us all with a great public service. So few realize how important a movie like this is if we are going to remain a free society.
Patriotism and national pride have become laughable pursuits in some segments of society.
To honor the ladies and gentlemen who gave their young lives to war so that we could live ours to their full length and in peace, is a most honorable pursuit.
I was not born in the USA, but as my adopted country, the valor and bravery of these ladies and gentlemen are sewn deeply within my heart.
Take away all your quibbles about formula plots, unnecessary subplots and uneven script-pacing...let us view this film with the solemn veneration and grateful heart which we must provide in order to pay tribute to those who did not come home or are still buried in the Arizona, and in a thousand other unmarked graves throughout the world.
I thank all of those who participated in this film. Yes, this story has been told before... ....but as with so many other stories about wars, we must continue to teach our young people that these wars were not numbers, dates and places in a history book, but about the sacrifices, the blood, maiming and horrors of every human conflict and quest for peace.
May they forever remain in our memories.
