Letting down the memory of those who died

Rating: Null/10 (14 September 2001)

While the movie itself is entertaining and as one who rates movies by "Would I want to own this on DVD to watch again and again" I would say yes.
Though storyline is meant to entertain as it shows the lives of 3 characters and has its times of comedy as well as romance which I thought was entertaining. The event that the story comes involved with "The attack of Pearl Harbor" became candy coated so not to offend those who actually attacked us. It was a Special Effect show that was incredible to watch but did not have the emotion and the horror that was going on that day. As an American I am the one who became offended.
I realize Disney wants to make money especially in foreign markets by not showing the horror that we had to endure as "Saving Private Ryan" did (even though Japan was the ones who attacked us) therefore I did not feel the same emotions of watching this film as I did "Saving Private Ryan."
"Saving Private Ryan" raised the level of war films and "Pearl Harbor" fell short. Just as they have fallen short of their predicted 250 million US box office and I think the reason is what I previously wrote.
I feel that if you have not seen this movie go see it for the entertainment value and dont expect an emotional film on the level of "Saving Private Ryan" or "Schindler's List" and you will not be disappointed.
