Excellent production for those who actually know a thing or two about history.

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2007)

Performances were excellent all round. And where I noticed that someone claimed that no red cross army nurses died at Pearl harbor, he was right. The military nurses that did die were navy nurses, not civilian. I was especially touched by Jon Voight's performance as FDR. When I saw him in the first scene I was "oh no you're not." But as the movie went on I was totally pulled in as it was obvious that he had carefully studied for the part. The love story was a bit over the top, but the impact of what happened and the aftermath of the event was well portrayed for those who were not around in those days.
No picture depicts history exactly. If it did we wouldn't want to watch it. This film caught the essence of it however. If you weren't moved by it then you have a heart of stone.
