Best written and acted movie ever!

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2001)

Okay so when Pearl Harbor came out I wasn't all that excited to see Ben Affleck in yet another movie. But after almost 6 months after it was released into the movie theatre I broke down and decided to see this movie in a dollar theatre (which I might add that the place was packed with people). I fell in love with this movie. It seemed so real to the events that took place, though it was brilliantly censored to the actual happenings of Pearl Harbor. But it was so factual and so close to the way things were like back then. From the way the people acted, to what they were thinking, to the clothes they wore, to the actual events that took place. The only event the movie didn't really emphasize on was that WWII actually was what brought the U.S. and the rest of the world out of the Great Depression. But other than that, it hit the nail right on the head. It was indeed a sad movie, but thats the effect that war leaves on a country. Though Ben Affleck was supposed to be the big star of the movie...I feel that his friend Danny(Josh Harnett) did a much better job at acting than he did. He was more into it, and more realistic. When a ship exploded for example, instead of just running behind a car and squating like Ben Affleck did, he (Josh) seemed more jumping and panicked and kind of fell behind the car and couldn't seemed to find his foot grip. Now that to me seems more realistic. So bravo to all the actors and the producer and director who created such a wonderful movie. And the composer Hans Zimmer for created such an awesome sound track, and to Diane Warren for writing such a beautiful song "There You'll Be" and to Faith Hill for performing the song so beautifully.
