Pearl Harbor (DVD)
-
Director Michael Bay (ARMAGEDDON, THE ROCK) uses a tragic romantic triangle to set the stage for the infamous Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in this epic tale of love, loss, and patriotism. When Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale), a beautiful Navy nurse, meets dashing ace Army fighter pilot Rafe (Ben Affleck), the two fall madly in love, only to be separated abruptly when he is called upon to help fight the war in Europe. Unforeseen circumstances lead Evelyn into the arms of Danny (Josh Hartnett), another fighter pilot and Rafe's best friend since childhood. In the meantime, the Japanese military is planning the surprise early morning raid on Hawaii that will pull the United States into World War II. Spectacular special effects vividly recreate the attack in devastating detail as bombs explode, torpedoes shoot through the water, and bullets fly, shaking tranquil Pearl Harbor to its core. Bay deftly captures the patriotism and the loss of innocence of the young men and women who were suddenly thrust into the war. Cuba Gooding, Jr., Jon Voight, Alec Baldwin and Mako also star in this tribute to both the fallen and the survivors of one of the most horrific tragedies ever to occur on American soil.

One of the best feature's in this film is how the director paid attention to the details as he made this movie. Sounds, images, settings and locations all were giving top focus so we have a movie which gives the world an actual picture of the horror's of December 7, 1941. The romantic triangle of the three lead characters is distracting but the director does a great job of using them to fill in the details of events during and after the bombing so we are able to understand the events and how they played out then and even now. This is a movie we need to show our children's children to pass on the true horror and the struggle this nation faced and over came so the lessons learned will not be lost.
