Nothing but American Propaganda!

Rating: 2/10 (6 August 2019)

I hate Muchael Bay movies. It's not a surprise, they suck. And while the "Transformers" films are terrible and nonsensical, "Pearl Harbor" is on a different level of bad, the level of offensive. It was a complete waste of three hours, it doesn't respect history, it doesn't it's audience, and it doesn't respect other cultures. And it's an atrocity to cinema.
"Pearl Harbor" is an incredibly bias historical film, that rather than tell history, decides to be America propaganda. Villifying the Japanese, and feeling more like a wartime propaganda film than a legitemite historical film.
First criticism, the romance is terrible and main characters never existed. And because of that, we never become attached to these characters, or the events. With a movie like "Titanic" (love or hat it) personal I love it, and it's miles better than this. Even though the characters didn't exist, you see them interact with the real people. In this movie, they're away from the action. And when we see the action, there's no attachment to anything, because we didn't get to know the people being killed.
And the Japanese are portrayed as evil villians who shoot at hospitals and kill without mercy. We don't get to know the Japanese, and the film comes across as offensive. I have some strong opinions against Doug Walker and Channel Awesome, but his review of "Pearl Harbor" somed up all my thoughts and criticisms. And frankly, it's one of my favorite movie reviews of all time. So, watch that, because I'm done. Watch the review, not the movie. I'm done.
