Why does every recent historical film have to be a romance?
Earlier today I caught a few minutes of Pearl Harbor. Near as I could tell, it was somewhere in the middle. While there was a scene or two that actually seemed to be related to the attack that got the USA into WW II, most of what I saw had to do with two guys and one woman. Something about one of them thought to be dead but surviving, and the other going after his gal.
Has this joined the happy ending as a requirement for modern films? I seem to be seeing it a lot.

Hi,
When you get past the love story [aprox; 1 hour] the attack on Pearl Harbor is worth watching, lots of digital eye candy.

How about TORA TORA TORA & Midway, since I see you like combat movies.

They are ok. I like Midway better than Tora, Tora, Tora. I find them both a bit tedious for the same reasons. The subplot in Midway of the pilot's interred Japanese girlfriend was stilted, and jammed into an otherwise mostly documentary film. I think they over did the cluelessness and bungling on the Japanese side.
