An Excellent, Historically Important Movie.

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2001)

I was a six year old boy when Pearl Harbor was attacked. The memories of that day,and the war years that followed, are indelibly implanted in mind and soul.The movie not only has caused me to relive those times but aroused my desire to educate younger generations who,thank God, did not have first hand experience.
My wife and I have now seen the movie twice and will probably see again.This is first time have gone to see the same movie twice in one week since was a teenager.
My passion for history was fulfilled by the accurate portrayal of the events leading up to the attack as well as being right on in every other important event throughout the movie. The love story has been criticized by many as "hokey". I thought it to be very real,moving, and so appropriate for the time,when there was such a sense of urgency with matters of love,and everything else.
The story of Pearl Harbor and Americas entry into the war needs to be told in away so succeeding generations won't forget. Everyone in America,indeed throughout the world, has had their lives effected by the events of December 7th,1941.
Hats off to the cast for a job well done. I applaud everyone involved in the making of this movie. For telling the Pearl Harbor Story in such humanistic ways.An AMERICAN story.AMERICA'S story.
Very easy to give a 10!
