no good love story, no good film about war, what else?

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2001)

There have been a dozen previous American films that have significantly dealt with the attack of Pearl Harbor. But only one, TORA! TORA! TORA!, thought to be painstakingly faithful to the facts and is remembered as one of the great big-budget turkeys of all time. The new Pearl Harbor is Hollywood and not history. The film glorifies the American weaknesses and distorts the history at a such high level I have never seen before in another film. For example got no American nurses killed and no hospital was intentional attacked by Japanese aircrafts. American pilots were not as good as shown in the film during the fights between Germany and England. On contrary they were an easy booty for the experienced German fighters. The reason of this desaster is, that American filmmakers are not able to show the truth on WW2, because a nation, that has the most of the casualties related to his time at war, can not be able to make a realistic film based on the true history. There are only a few exceptions: Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket and TORA! TORA! TORA!
