Stop the flock mentality

Rating: 10/10 (5 June 2001)

Just because this is the most anticipated movie for the summer, it's not good enough a reason for people to pick on it that hard. Come on, people, let's face it: This movie provides:
1) A fairly accurate re-enactment of what happened on Dec. 7, 1941 in Pear Harbor, good history lesson if kids haven't learned it;

2) brilliant special effects on the attack;
3) yes, a cliched war love story, but why not? Love is after all a very cliched thing. What else matters if it touches our hearts
and make us feel for the heroes?
4) make-believe performance by three leads and supporting actors, esp. young Josh Hartnett stands out as a promising new talent;
5) beautiful music score and excellent sound effects.
What else can you get for nine bucks? Just because some snobbish critics said something, you don't have to be part of the flock.
Go to the theater, and you will enjoy the three hours!
