THE MOVIE PEARL HARBOUR IS BULLSHIT

I guess it's time for everyone to get on my case right now for putting this movie down. This movie that has touched the hearts of so many people over here in the western hempisphere, because I doubt that this movie touched the hearts of any asians in the eastern hemisphere. I guess most people though are probably too blind to really analyze this movie for what it really is. So let me take a few minutes to break it down for you.

This movie is based off of the tradgedy that occured on December 7, 1941 that dragged America into world war 2, with an added twist that apparently most historic movies lately have been deciding to do lately. In the middle of this event, the creators of the film decided to throw in some romantic bullshit, a sissy boy main character, and people crying. To me this is just another movie that's deciding to jump on the Titanic bandwagon. Can't they make a historic movie like this without adding some fictional shit into the mix to capture the attention of emotional people who wouldn't go see the movie if it didn't star prissy boy Ben Affleck and that douche bag Josh Hartnett (That's right. I called him a douche bag. Eat me.) And some kind of romantic prattle that they threw in there just so that the females would go and drag their boyfriends along with them to see. And people are getting suckered into it. They seem to be making a fortune off this. What do they have next in store for us?

I would like to see a movie about an event in history where they didn't add some romantic interest or fictitious characters. I just want to see the 100% truth and no bullshit.

The thing that pisses me off about this movie is the one thing that people just can't seen to get through their heads. No one seems to notice that this movie is just overglamorizing the Americans and their roll (or lack of up until this point) in World War 2. Seriously, people are probably sitting back and thinking "oh I feel so sorry for all of the people who lost their lives" and "President Roosevelt was such a brave leader". Jesus christ, if it wasn't for this shitty president and stealing the oil from the Japanesse in the first place then the attack wouldn't have ever occured. If you notice when the Japanese first come into the movie they explain how they only have enough oil for another 18 months or something like that. But here's this movie showing people getting hurt by a Japanese air attack and I'm supposed to feel sorry for them? If you even look closely enough you can tell that some of the Japanese pilots don't even want to bomb all of these people. And yet at the end of the movie the Americans go and drop bombs on Japan without so much as a blink of hesitation, they fly into enemy territory with nil in the way of fuel, drop bombs on unsuspecting Japanese, and are thought of as heroes? Only because this was an American movie and the Americans are damned if they're going to make themselves ever seem to look like the bad guys.

And here's the kicker. At the end when they have Kate Beckinsale doing her monologue about whatever the hell happened afterwards, she says "when the war's over and we look back...blahblahblah...America saw she could win and pushed forward, Japan saw that it could lose and pulled back" yeah, America realized it could win and pushed forward, but only after they dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which resulted in doing more damage than the Japanese did on Pearl Harbour. But do they mention anything about that in the movie at all? No, because after all of the times that America made itself look like heroes in the movie, they'll be damned if they're losing any credibility. So what if some lives were lost as well as an entire fleet? Why don't they admit that they totally fucked over the lives of millions of Japanese people? Why don't they admit that future generations of Japanese children will have to face the long term damage just because they wanted a quick and easy way of ending a war that could have been resolved with a "we'll back off if you back off"? I mean, they were fighting over oil and Pearl Harbour for christ's sake. No one was invading anyone. They don't add any of this in the movie and it just makes me sick that anyone could feel sorry for the Americans and the hardships they had to go through just because of the agony that a few fictitious characters endured during this shitty movie.

I'd like to finish by asking the following question: If Kate Beckinsale's character in the movie found out she was pregnant some few days before the attack on Pearl Harbour, how come she isn't showing any signs of pregnancy (mainly the stomach) at the end of the movie when the soldiers come back from the Doolittle raid? Regardless of the fact that the Doolittle raid began on April 18 1942, which was four and a half months after she was knocked up by Josh Hartnett the day after they started talking for the first time (She's a freakin slut). Four months later and she's just as thin as she was at the beginging of the movie? Am I the only person who sees this painfully obvious continuity error?

People got suckered into feeling sympathy for America and the dumbass characters in this movie, when really the only people who needs sympathy are the children of the victems of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Why don't they make a movie about this and actually show the Americans in the kind of light where they are made out to be the enemies?
