GREAT MOVIE OUT OF GREAT HISTORY!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2001)

"A date in which we will live in infamy". Spoken by Roosevelt, these words were the words of war for America in 1941. Today, these words bring back memories, of when America became strong. This movie, "Pearl Harbor" brought back those memories for the veterans of that day, and also gave the citizens of the US a glimpse of that tragic day. Special effects gave this movie it's realness in every way, and the intentness became real to every viewer. Telling the Pearl Harbor attack, the way many saw it, and the love story between soldiers and nurses, and the life of flying of two best friends, this movie became a memorial to many. Brought tears, almost no laughter, and pains for all veterans. This movie touched me deep, as the memory of Pearl Harbor does. The plot was rich with life, and history. As a teen, I'm not fascinated by history, but I do love Pearl Harbor. The movie told every view, from nurses, to soldiers, to citizens. Sadness reached me at the end, as did many. This 3-hour movie (it needed to be!!!) shows life briefly before and after, but with great context about Pearl Harbor attack. Showing views from Japan and US, it tied in history very well. Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett worked very well side-by-side, along with Kate Beckinsale. The duo made out to be great working together. The romance story between them made in Hollywood, but Pearl Harbor made it history. I agree. This is a blockbuster, of history!!! Touched me deep, as I saw it yesterday, but forever will I remember this movie. THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!
