I have always been fascinated by both the Titanic and the Pearl Harbour raid. Accordingly, I went to see "Titanic", and enjoyed it reasonably well, although I most definitely was NOT there to see a love story. However, the love story was presented in a reasonably okay fashion...I'd give it a 6 out of 10, I guess. The girl was actually a rather interesting character.

I am not sure I can stomach going to see "Pearl Harbour". It sounds like the most godawful piece of flag-waving tripe since the Reagan era and Rambo.

I hate seeing Hollywood screw around with history. I hate seeing people from other historical eras talking like the smart-mouthed *ssholes in present TV sitcoms, and behaving in ways utterly uncharacteristic of the time.

I wonder if anyone advises anyone else to "get a life" during the course of this film?

If you watch actual films from the 40's, the 50's, or even the 60's you will see that American culture at that time still had a certain sense of dignity...a certain amount of class...a measure of maturity.

Not like the garbage-mentality behaviour that you see routinely in popular entertainment now.

American civilization, like latter day Rome, has lost its soul, and that is nowhere more evident than in big budget Hollywood films.

This is not a civilization that deserves to endure, let alone to dominate the world, and the world will not mourn when its time has passed.
