What's Going On?

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2001)

Hello! I am Akshay V. Kulkarni from India .Recently I have been reading various reviews, articles, and notes on Disney's most expensive film ever `Pearl Harbor'. Well I do not know how many stars the movie exactly deserves, but I simply hated the way the critics are making fun of `Pearl Harbor'. I came to a conclusion that if a 100 critics have reviewed `Pearl Harbor', then 80 consider it to be just ** out of *****.Can anyone explain this as I have seen this happen with most movies. The same thing happened with 'Mulan'.That time 'The Prince of Egypt' was credited more even when 'Mulan's' script was better.And with every movie in the past years ,except 'Toy Story'. That really shut the nasty ones. Don't the people at the executive board of Disney think that something is wrong. A tragedy like Titanic,which was a to be mourned and acclaimed more by the British,was acclaimed more by U.S critics .In Titanic,the love story formed most of the film,and the sinking is barely an hour. Well ....what ...is wrong?or Was it just Twentieth Century Fox. Critics are mentioning that the film makers of Pearl Harbor have forgotten the basis of the tragedy at the end of the film and its history. But the narration shown at the end of the movie, when Rafe and Evelyn are with Danny's son in the open fields is lot more than enough to make any American proud of what had been achieved in 1942.And that is what Bay and Bruckhimer and Wallace have done.They have made history.They have shown to the younger generation of America ,what great country is their's. The end part of the movie was enough to make any any hard hearted critic change to a soft one. Only god knows what has happened.Absurd.Where is Americas history heading?.Are they not proud of their victories?Have'nt they sat through 3 hr long movies before?was every three hr movie before Pearl Harbor interesting?OR would it have been a huge hit if it were not produced by the Mouse House.Also someone had mentioned that America was not in a position to have a grand funeral for Danny?Why man,HE is a hero,and he deserves it,even though some call it fictitious. And also the response by the audiences in America was heart breaking.A true American,who is proud of what had been achieved in 1941,should see the movie,no matter what the critics say. Remember AMERICA WON!
