could have been good

Rating: Null/10 (7 June 2001)

I got this idea, you know, making a movie called "pearl harbor".
It needs to have big budget, great effects and good direction. With Jerry B. and Michael B. it all seems to turn out very nice.
I then decide to save a lot of money in getting supported by the Navy. I may have to change a few details here and there, let the Navy-guys appear to be very brave and heroic, and emphasize who won the war in the very end. But that's not too bad, is it?
I eventually remember that I have to SELL the movie as well and think of all this teenagers longing for love-stories. So I do this nurse-the-pilot-and-his-friend thing, blur the gore-scenes after the bombing and dont show any smoking at all. That's worth the effort, is`nt it?
Perhaps its a little too easy to see through my concept. Well, I might show how SERIOUS I take this love-story in lengthening the plot to nearly three hours.
I wanted to make a movie called "pearl harbor". I think I messed it up.
