I believe that the movie' historic facts were dead on, but the movie's plot actors and accents were very frustrating

Rating: Null/10 (7 February 2006)

I believe that the facts of this movie were mostly completely dead on. I wonder, however, about the validity of some of the events, such as the first flight that was shot at, and if the Catain really said that they were just sparrows. Another scene that confused me was the one were they shot flares over the ship and the Secretary took them as arms. Besides those two scenes the rest of the movie's historic facts are dead on(in comparasion to my sources) The acting, however, I think was very mediocker. I think that the accents were way off, and the intensity was way off many times. Although it portrayed the actuall events, it frustrated me to see us ALMOST go to war, several times, and then have nothing happen. It was like a child sticking his hand in his face while saying "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you!!!" However, there was no way to make the movie less frustrating without twisting the actuall events of history. I believe the historic portrayal was wonderful, but the movie frustrating, with over dramatic actors.
