After months of anticipation--thanks to a relentless studio advertising campaign and some killer coming attractions--Disney's mammoth $135 million epic "Pearl Harbor" is finally ready to attack the box office and blow the rest of the summer competition out of the water!That's a foregone conclusion,especially with a list of film credits that include producer Jerry Bruckheimer,director Michael Bay,and screenwriter Randall Wallace (who wrote "Braveheart").Unfortunately--but not surprisingly--it's safe to say that the battle scenes are terrific,while the love story is not.
The time is 1941,and most of the planet is embroiled in a brutal conflict unlike anything the world has ever seen.The United States is sticking to its isolationist policy and staying the heck out of it,but hotshot fighter pilot Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) is eager to see some action.He joins the British Eagle Squadron in their fight against Germany,but when his girlfriend Evelyn (Kate Beckinsale) and best friend Danny (Josh Hartnett) receive word about his death,they find solace in each other amidst the paradise of Hawaii.In no time,Rafe shows up in Pearl Harbor alive and well,but all hell breaks loose when a surprise attack by the Japanese plunges them and the rest of country into the heart of World War II.
Like with "Titanic," "Pearl Harbor" is a love story first and a historical disaster second.The problem is that the love triangle feels too contrived to be emotionally effective,and the film progresses slower than a battleship run aground.Also,where the love story in "Titanic" eased into the actual disaster,the transition in "Pearl Harbor" is much more abrupt.As a result,the impressive battle sequences completely overpower what was an otherwise bland love story in the first place.
Obviously,everyone wants to see the attack on Pearl Harbor,and that's where director Michael Bay delivers the goods.Faster than you can say "battlestations," the film kicks into high gear,and the next 40 minutes are filled with some of the most spectacular visual effects to ever hit the big screen.Despite veering into Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" territory at times (with bullets zinging through the water and a somewhat restrained depiction of post-attack battle wounds),the aerial shots of the Japanese zeros and bombers buzzing about the crowded harbor amidst the smoke-drenched skies are nothing short of spectacular.
On the other hand,if you're looking for a detailed account as to why the Japanese attacked in the first place (a la "Tora!Tora!Tora!"),you won't find it here.Then again,that's not what Bay and producer Jerry Bruckheimer were shooting for (no pun intended).Love 'em or hate 'em,their co-productions ("Bad Boys," "The Rock," and "Armageddon") have made a lot of money,and "Pearl Harbor" wasn't going to be any different.Had they stayed true to the facts and the terminology that people were using at the time,then they most likely would have offended some of the moviegoers who make up that all-important foreign demographic.Since they weren't going to see a dime until the picture made its money back,they sure as hell weren't going to risk offending anybody.
As far as the cast is concerned,vague facts are mixed with Hollywood fiction to create an ensemble piece that doesn't always pay off.Ben Affleck has plenty of charismatic appeal,but his arrogant fighter pilot is merely a hollow rehash of Tom Cruise's cocky demeanor from "Top Gun" (which was also produced by Bruckheimer).Josh Hartnett (who resembles a young Jan Michael Vincent) is more understated--and as a result,much more effective--in what will undoubtedly be his breakout role,but the otherwise talented Kate Beckinsale is underutilized as the nurse who captures the hearts of the lifetime friends.
Although their appearances are brief,the more commanding performances are given by the true-to-life characters.Alec Baldwin bookends the movie as the legendary Col.Jimmy Doolittle,and he gives the film the emotional shot in the arm that it sorely needs.Cuba Gooding Jr brings life to Dorie Miller,the heroic mess hall attendant who mans the guns during the attack,and Jon Voight is virtually unrecognizable as the polio-stricken President Roosevelt.
Americans will no doubt see "Pearl Harbor" as their patriotic duty of paying tribute to the survivors of the attack,and at the same time,they'll be blown away by a typical summer blockbuster.Ultimately,the film lacks the emotional impact that would have given Bay and Bruckheimer the respect that they obviously crave,but that's OK.Given all the publicity that the film is getting,Memorial Day Weekend 2001 is sure to go down in movie history as a date which will live in currency.
