Re: (OT) Pearl Harbor was; Re: Final Fantasy

Derek,

I completely agree with you.  I hope the film is well made and not just
a
macho american can do pic.  Though I do not hold high hopes <G>.  I
would
not mind seeing a portrayal from the Japanese side.  Would make an
interesting change from most of the Pearl Harbor coverage I have seen.

I seen the trailer for Pearl Harbor and can only hope the movie isn't
just
a bunch of Americans 'sucking it up' after being 'surprised' by the
faceless Japanese, the movie poster I've seen shows no names of actors
who
I might guess portray 'Japanese characters'. Since it's a Jerry
Bruckheimer, Micheal Bay effort and based on their previous efforts I
don't
hold out much hope, if they run true to form expect to see lots of well
presented, big budget style encouraging the audience to wave the flag
with
a lump in their throat.

Me, I don't dislike/like  Americans or Japanese, I just dislike 'crap'
film
making.
