Re: Pearl Harbor film


Good heavens! I just took another look at the film clip and used the pause button. The dropped-down after deck looks like a Spruance class destroyer (in mothballs when the film was made) - launched in the 1970s.


So much for historical accuracy!

In truth, the movie Pearl Harbor had more in common with Titanyuck (Titanic) and Twister than with reality. As is often the case in Hollyweird, it was simply an epic love story, made epic by having loads of olive drab and haze gray stuff going BOOM! in the background while the star-crossed romance thrashed in the foreground.
