Awful

Rating: 1/10 (9 September 2006)

I saw "Pearl Harbor" a couple of years ago. And today I saw that writer Randall Wallace earned 2 000 000 (!?!?) dollars for the script. What? Eh? Is Hollywood like this? Can you go to California, make a pathetic script, almost totally untrue even if it shall be based on a true story, and make this fat pile of cash out of it? If I'd say Pearl Harbor before this film existed, you'd probably think about the Japanese air force's air raid at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. But now "Pearl Harbor" is a 3 hours long movie, starring Ben Affleck as the main character. If I was a war widow from WW2, I'd require to have Randall Wallace shot by firing squad. Not only because he wrote a romantic, awful film with the title "Pearl Harbor", also because he made 2 000 000 dollars out of it. Why didn't they just skip all romantic rubbish this film has? It could have been a 10/10 without it! If I would be president, senator or perhaps congressman in USA, I'd do everything in my power to forbid the title "Pearl Harbor" and rename it to "An untrue, pathetic love story during WW2". When I saw it, I thought It would be like an interesting history lesson on screen. I was wrong! Go to a library or look for real sources on the Internet if you want to learn something. And for all of you who wanna waste 3 hours of your precious time, looking at Ben Affleck's mediocre acting, I recommend this one!
