A personal view of Peaerl Harbor

Rating: 8/10 (13 March 2005)

Everyone who is so eagerly writing in to say that this movie is awful because their is this love story this is for you. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT. This movie was not made to teach you guys about Pearl Harbor, if you want to go pick up a book. This movie was made to humanize the attack on Pearl Harbor, to give the event a face which would teach people the horrors of the attack. For the people who say this movie is an anti Japan movie then you guys have no idea what your talking about either. Although I do not have any prejudice towards Japan the fact is that on Dec. 7th 1941 they attacked us with no cause and killed many Innocent people in the process. No where in this movie does Micheal Bay depict Japan as anything other then a country that attacked us, nowhere does he purposely depict them in a bad light and certainly not a some second class nation that the US will just crush, he actually if anything shows the genius behind their attack and shows them as a military force that should not be written off. If you guys want to see a movie that shows the US as a big bad force that is needed every where then go watch The Last Samurai where Zwick felt it necessary for the US to take credit for training Japan's army when in reality the US never sent any military officers over to Japan during that time period.
