PEARL HARBOR

Despite being a Hollywood creation, the movie's dramatic love story was inspired

by events that happened at Pearl Harbor before and after the morning of

December 1941. Pearl Harbor was released in 2001, with various release dates for

each country, directed by Michael Bay, the script was written by Randall Wallace

and produced by Bay and Jerry Bruckheimer. and it was nominated for various

awards and won them (Academy award for Best Visual Effects, Academy award

for Best Sound Editing…)

Pearl Harbor was remarkably outstanding, the visual and audio effects matched,

the actors' voices could easily be heard, the scenes were genuine, and the

narrative flow was excellent. Particularly the passing of one of the main characters,

the story's narrative twist was so unexpected that I initially found it difficult to

accept. Some of the scenes, which featured numerous individuals dying and

suffering terrible injuries, were incredibly realistic.

The Pearl Harbor is based on the real-life World War II incident in which the

Japanese launched an unexpected air attack on the Honolulu, Hawaii-based

Pearl Harbor. The USA responded by declaring war after Japan launched a

surprise strike. The film served as a tribute to the dead soldiers and provided

information about the reasons and effects of the conflict for the general public,

the political system, and the community.

The movie was eventually one sided, according to what I understand and

searched, the US fleet anchored at Pearl Harbor is what triggers the attack, yet
the war is what brings Japan to its downfall. The movie portrays the tragic impact

of war on the soldiers and residents of Pearl Harbor, where thousands of lives were

lost. If you were to see the movie Grave of the Fireflies, you would be able to

witness how the people in Japan endured as a result of the war. On the other side

of the country, Japan, it was also terrible, especially to the community. Although

both sides had their explanations, the catastrophe, which claimed hundreds of

lives, had a devastating impact on the people and the community.

Although it is really upsetting to watch, you can learn a lot from it. I wish to

recommend this movie and other movies that are connected to historical events

that occurred in the distant past. The historical drama Pearl Harbor is definitely one

of the best; it emphasizes romance and relationships in addition to the war. As I've

already mentioned, the sound and visual effects are excellent. Unfortunately,

some movies have louder sound effects, making it difficult to hear the actors'

voices. I had nothing more to add to the narrative; it was excellently written, and

the entire movie was fantastic.
