a love comedy not a real dramatic event

Rating: 5/10 (1 May 2004)

I think this film is only an action movie without a real reconstruction of a crucial event in the USA history. Two pilots and a girl, the old triangle good for anything love novel, is a too poor story for giving support to a real tragedy in the second world war. I believe in the American talent and hope to see a new film on this argument:a damned day experienced through the eyes of a navy commander that isn't in love, but is living the drama of his seamen. and above all,it's useless to amplify the acts of bravery. In war a man doesn't aim to exalt one's exploits, but he wants to save one's skin and, in the same time, to eliminate obstacles. A war film isn't a performance of fireworks, it's a succession of bad scenes of blood and horror.
