To wake a sleeping giant - Pearl Harbor Reviews

Pearl Harbor is a powerful and moving film. Detailing the attack on the US Naval Base bearing the same name, this historical event is brought to life in a dramatic way. Showing the sorrow and pain of those that not only lived through the event, but also rose to the occasion and battled back from the brink of despair. =My Review= The word awesome doesn't begin to do this film justice. At three hours long, it can seem like a long journey, but when the action and drama begins, it is easy to lose yourself in the movie. The actors do an excellent job bringing the characters to life. When the first attack sweeps the base, the shock and confusion of the event is something that can be felt be the audience. Never before have I witnessed such an attempt to capture the raw essence of war and its affects on a people. Watching this movie is like walking through fire - You are re-forged into something stronger then before. Gifted with a new sense of purpose and love for the freedoms that others have paid for in blood. Many have complained that this film is bogged down with elements of a love story B-Plot, however I feel that this element is required to show what the men and women were willing to sacrifice in the name of their country and freedom. I can only hope that you watch this movie and can see the entire message of the film. =Other Movies You Might Like= If you like this movie, here is a few other films that might interest you: FULL METAL JACKET PLATOON THE DEER HUNTER
