Was Matt Damon in Pearl Harbour I thoght he was connected to somebody called Bourne. How could he possibly be at Pearl Harbour when he probably wasn't born, or was that a special affleck like saving ryan's private parts.

you suck

PEARL HARBOUR IS SUCH A PIECE OF MELODRAMATIC CRAP THAT I WAS PUKING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FILM. GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS THOUGH RED THIN LINE IS A VERY GOOD ONE AND SAVING PRIVATE RYAN BUT NOT PEARL HARBOUR. NO PLEASE

The funniest part of this whole post is that Matt Damon isn't even in Pearl Harbor.

Dants says -
'The O.P. isn't too far off though; this movie is pretty awful. The DVD cover art is plastered with over-the-top superlatives about how amazing and earth-shaking, blah blah blah this movie is, but it's overlong and pretty sophomoric. This movie's not even as subtle as the Star Wars prequels. The constant long close-ups on Florya's face are such a weak and transparent device to show how the war is affecting him and it's just littered with so many ham-fisted metaphors.
There are piles of better anti-war films out there (Stalingrad, Paths of Glory, All Quiet On The Western Front, Joyeux Nl, Full Metal Jacket hell, even We Were Soldiers is more subtle than this).'
I prefer to reply to this than the moronic dribblings of the original poster.
How can you be so negative and critical of this movie? I can see what you are saying with some of your comments but you go way too far in my opinion.
The close-ups on Florya's face are not 'weak and transparent' but are one of the major devices in the movie that help to make it what it is:
a moving account of one boys war experience, from child to man in a few unnerving steps.
You can criticise it of course,
all films are flawed
but you can't say this film is
'pretty awful'
.
No.
Your point based on the DVD cover is weak at best - what relevance does the marketing style of the retailers have to do with the content of the movie? Everyone has experienced a DVD that has an irrelevant cover on it, it doesn't affect
my
opinion of the film. You shouldn't heed advertising if it affects you so deeply!
As for the metaphors being 'ham-fisted'well I beg to differ. I just need to think of this movie and it stirs emotions in my mind, it brought me more than a lot of films I have watched and, for sure, Full Metal Jacket and others are good but not quite
that
good.

But yes, Pearl Harbor was terrible. Come and See was better, but not by a whole lot.

To OP. What drives you trolls anyway? You're not even human in my opinion. Posting gibberish makes you happy? Could you be any more useless?

Agreed. There are so many threads on Imdb that begin with a sarcastic post that is taken as being a real opinion, resulting in wannabe intelligentsia art film whores taking hissy fits and crying into their Fassbinder print pillows.

Gutworm, I salute you good sir! You have shown once again how many gullible people there are in the world. Great thread.

Way to take the bait.

Man, pardon for my english, but I think you are the typic yankee that thinks that the US Army was the hero of the WWIIthe war in east front was full of bloodthe movies of Hollywood have been lying to us probing that you were the real combatantsits lie manI agree with another comentarythe latin american soap operas are perfect for you

Matt Damon wasn't even in "Pearl Harbor".

I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And thats an awful lot girl
And now, now youve gone away
And all Im trying to say is
Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you
I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
Hes way better than Ben Affleck
And now all I can think about is your smile
and that beep movie too
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you
Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
Just a little bit more than I miss you
Team America

Go watch propaganda films
So you're telling him to go watch "Come and See"? It's not an American propaganda film, but a propaganda film nonetheless!

Please don't refer to the most realistic Holocaust movie ever as silly and annoying I understand your'e trying to be funny but I REALLY take offense to that, especially since the very things that are displayed in this film really happened. What's more it happened to my own family too so please joke about something else allright?
Allright
