Hope for much Oscar recognition

Rating: Null/10 (20 June 2001)

I think Pearl Harbor was a terrific movie. The actors did a great job of bringing the love story and entire movie to life. Bruckheimer and Bay make an awesome team. The attack of Pearl Harbor was so tastefully done and wasn't too over the top, just right. Also, the creators have to be credited for giving a somewhat objective and not a "we resent you" attitude and look towards the Japanese. I was a big Titanic fan and didn't think any movie could come close to or beat it. However, I believe Pearl Harbor is a huge blockbuster, ranking right up there with Titanic. Hans Zimmer composed some beautiful music for the movie's soundtrack. Faith Hill's song reflects the attitude of the whole movie. To me, the difference between Pearl Harbor and Titanic, the difference that makes Pearl Harbor better to me, is the various movie genres it represents. There's action, (war), drama, powerful love story, and portrayal of an historical event. The love story doesn't get too intense and is just enough to make it a powerful love story. This movie can't be said to be a chick flick because of these various aspects. Titanic was a chick flick because the love story consumed the whole movie, even during the sinking. Regardless of what the critics say or what others may say about this
