good if interpreted well

Rating: Null/10 (10 August 2002)

Many people who watch movies only watch them to criticize. If you did this with Pearl Harbor you would either hate it or not understand it; most hated it.
As some other people have said, you need to look at this movie like you are from the era (1940's) because if you don't, one will see a cheesy romance movie. But, this is not the case if you go into it open-minded. You find find a very well done period movie. All of the romance (sweet-talk, kisses...) is actually normal for 1941.
Many people hate this movie without seeing it only because of Josh Hartnett and Ben Affleck. This should not happen.
Also, people didn't like the ending. I will say that the death of Danny Walker was over-dramatized. In fact, it was a normal "Hollywood ending". But look past that. Look in to everything else in that movie. Not what it IS but, what it MEANS. Despite of what the critics and other people have said, Randall Wallace did an amazing job making each line in the movie reflect the overall them of the movie, loss of innocence and patriotism.

if you look deep into the plot past what other people tell you, you can find an amazing movie.
