George Meany
I have always enjoyed watching action/love movies. I have been scouting out for these kinds of movies for the last 4 years. It was early morning, December 7, 1941. As the sun was just beginning to rise in Oahu, Hawaii, a fleet of Japanese naval air forces were taking off to the Pacific Ocean. No one was prepared for what was occurring. Pearl Harbor, the United States' center for military action in the Pacific Ocean, was almost completely destroyed. The anger led the United States' to enter into World War II. Then 60 years later the movie "Pearl Harbor" makes it to the big screen. Was it really the history of what happened that morning on December 7 or another love story with the wrong title? Calling a movie Pearl Harbor puts a certain responsibility on a filmmaker to tell the historical event's story more fully. Selling a misleading title seems like a studio is trying to take advantage of an event's memory. I feel that the movie Pearl Harbor should have focused more on the historical tragedy that happened that day rather than being based on a love triangle story. The first half of the movie concentrates on three characters and very little about the historical facts leading up to WWII. We are led to th
Only that Japan starts working on their plan to attack Pearl Harbor. It's a love story that takes place during that time that Pearl Harbor was being attacked but it actually has a story of it's own. By focusing on Danny, Evelyn, and Rave just threw the whole movie off. If instead of making the movie on three characters falling in love, it could have been on a commander and his soldiers or maybe even on President Roosevelt. Instead the ending was about how Evelyn and Rave stayed together and named their baby Danny after his father. For example, "Saving Private Ryan" focuses on the soldiers that were in the World War II. It had begun to rely more and more for raw materials from outside sources because their land was lacking in these. From there we move to how Rave and Evelyn met. Others might argue that because the movie was named Pearl Harbor doesn't necessarily mean it has to focus on Pearl Harbor. By this time we are not thinking much about that, we are thinking "how can Danny do that to his best friend?" It's like every ten minutes they'll just show that Japan is getting ready to attack Pearl Harbor, but lets get back to what is going to happen with Danny, Rave, and Evelyn. They grow up together and enroll in the military. Again what does this have to do with Pearl Harbor. It does not go on and on about two or three people falling in love. Japan had many other problems to deal with.
