“Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.” MayHas BeensTwoStoriesFilmThreeHoursLinesWalksVisionGraceMinutesSpecialEffectsSurpriseLove StoryAdmireOriginalityPearlsHarborsDecemberStunningSpecial EffectsTrianglesBanalityLove TriangleQuotingRedundantCenterpiecesSurprise AttacksDecember 7December 7 1941 Author:Roger Ebert
“I found Mr. Carter's actions toward the Republic of China so incredible that they defy description by socially acceptable expletives. If December 7, 1941 was a "day of infamy" then December 15, 1978 ranks right up there in international betrayal...The pathetic thing about this whole mess, however, is that it is typical of this administration's conduct of foreign affairs, which could be kindly described as being riddled by ineptitude and hypocrisy.” IfsWarWholeActionFoundColdIncrediblesAffairInternationalChinaBetrayalMessAdministrationHypocrisyDescriptionRepublicAcceptableCold WarTypicalPatheticCarterDecemberInfamyForeign AffairsExpletivesIneptitudeDecember 7December 7 1941 Author:Barry Goldwater
