Stevie the guys who really got starafed in the real PH attack were often decapitated, cut in half, dismemberd, disemboweled and apparently the strafed area streets san red with blood.
The point of our concern is not a stupid viscious blood-lust to see gore and flying body parts, it is the obvious cheapening and "clean up" to earn the movie a PG13 rating so it can maximize profits from the young teenage male "demographic". SPR took itself seriously and pretty much showed what 20mm HE shells do to human bodies and thus earned an R rating and accepted a loss in profits to remain true to realism and respect for the horros of war.
PH on the other hand just sees the Dec.7 attack as a convenient background to:
A. A terrible, pointless, formulaic and soap-opera like love triangle story. (for idiot female demographic)
B. A terrible Bay/Bruckheimer stupid action, blow stuff up movie. (for idiot male demographic)
There is no soul to this movie, no feeling, no respect, no honesty. It is simply a contrived piece of toejam meant to leach modern day idiot Americans' money out of the suffering of thousands of real Americans on that day.
READ THIS PART!
If you dont belive me as to how little respect and how not seriously Bay/Bruckheimer took this movie just look for a little cameo in the movie done by none other than a computer inserted Bruce Willis.
Yep there is a scene during the hospital attack where Bay inserted the character JOHN MCLAIN of the DIE HARD action movie series, in the backround walking by.
This is not a joke JOHN MCLAIN of the action movies DIE HARD is in PH. This is simply so stupid, cheap, pointless, cheap, horrible, god diddlying awful, disrespectful of the subject, its simply unbelivable.
What PH is, all PH is is a calculated effort by Bay/Bruckheimer to exploit the deaths of 3000 Americans and the idiocy of the US public. The premise of this movie is to take the love story, "cute guys" and epic scale of Titanic to draw in the teenage girls, then take the idiotic blow stuff up and idiotic "braveness" and pseudo patriotism of Armageddon to draw in the idiot teenage male.
Thats why this is a bad movie, far beyond the historical travesty and disrepectul nature PH is simply a poorly done film. Its obviously an overly contrived, cynical, souless, directionless monstrosity. Its a giant advertizing campaign rolled into an awful overlong 3 hour piece of toejam not worth the film stock it was shot on.
Its simply awful and I diddlying hate it.
The good news is that it apperently missed estimates for the for day weekend falling well short of Disney's projected 90 million plus. There is some hope after all....
