Previously in 1997, James Cameron’s "Titanic" created a box office myth. In the following years, Hollywood companies hoped to replicate its successful model.

"Pearl Harbor" is a failed attempt in this environment. In order to imitate "Titanic", the script was written by Randall Wallace, and a passage was forcibly implanted in the real background of the attack on Hawaii. love story.

is not only the love of the male and female protagonists, but also the love triangle of the male and female protagonists. In the three-hour manuscript, this triangle drama occupies a lot of space. What's even more funny is that the film director bombarded Michael Bay, who is famous all over the world. His storytelling ability is believed to be taught by our mainland audiences. The story of the

movie began long, long before the Pearl Harbor incident. Leif Macaulay and Danny Walker are a pair of good brothers who grew up together. They have a natural passion for flying. In short, the setting is to open. The plane is very 6. When

grew up, they joined the army together and soon became the elite of the Air Force.

met the nurse Evelyn Johnson at the same time during a military medical examination, but Leif had an open personality and soon became Evelyn’s boyfriend. Danny is introverted, although he also has a good impression of Evelyn, he dare not show it because of his brotherhood.

​​In 1940, Germany launched a blitzkrieg, occupying Denmark, Norway, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Belgium, and then invading France.

The United States refused to participate in the war because of its non-aggression agreement with Japan, but the government still decided to send an elite force to assist European countries in resisting the Nazi attack.

Leif actively applied to join the war and was admitted by the British Flying Eagle Squadron, leaving his brother and girlfriend to fly to France.

After that, Leif went through several wars, and his military service was outstanding, but he was attacked by the German army during one mission. The plane was shot and fell into the sea, where his whereabouts are unknown. The army thought he had been killed, so they passed the news of his death to his home.

Leif's good brother Danny and girlfriend Evelyn were naturally heartbroken. In order to comfort each other, they soon got involved!

But Leif did not die, but was rescued by a French fishing boat, and soon he returned to Hawaii.

This is embarrassing. My good brother and girlfriend are getting better. After the three get together, they don't know how to face each other.

Pidge wants to write the screenwriter and can't do it anymore, but I'm not afraid, let the country's righteousness come to the rescue.

has been suffering for more than an hour in a triangle love sceneLater, we finally ushered in the Japanese plane, the attack on Pearl Harbor officially debuted.

​​is famous all over the world by the nickname "Boom Shell", so it is natural to control this kind of scene. The

movie also shows the spectacular scenes of this war from multiple angles. The previous story has pulled the film level to the bottom, and this war can at least save some points.

Many people have recalled "Pearl Harbor" so far. The most impressive thing is still the presentation of these war scenes, which is the top production level in Hollywood.

After the incident, US President Roosevelt quickly issued a declaration, deciding to join the war, and in 1942 reached an agreement with 25 countries headed by China, Soviet Union and Britain to form a world anti-fascist alliance.

After discussion, the US government decided to attack Tokyo, Japan to save face.

Leif and Danny were selected by the military senior pilot Doolittle to participate in this secret project.

On April 2, 1942, Leif, Danny, and the selected pilots rushed to Tokyo on the aircraft carrier Hornet to implement the Doolittle air strike plan. After

bombed Tokyo to the sky, they lost the signal to return home, and there was not much gasoline left, so they could only choose to fly to China for landing.

​​However, after the plane made a forced landing, the pilots were attacked by the Japanese army. As the second male, Danny could not survive to the end, so he chose to die to save Leif.

Leif returned to Hawaii alone. He also likes to be a father. He lives happily with Evelyn, who is pregnant with Danny's child, and the ending is pretty bloody. The

film was released in the United States on May 25, 2001. It was introduced to mainland China on August 10 and became popular. The film length was not 183 minutes when it was released, but some bloody shots were deleted. The $140 million investment of

was the highest in the world at the time, but the score on IMDb was not enough, only 6.2 points, the freshness on Rotten Tomatoes was only 24%, and the burst index was a little better, 66%. The fictional love triangle forcibly included in the

film is the most criticized aspect, and even caused a collective protest from the Pearl Harbor veterans of World War II that the film does not respect the heroes who died in Pearl Harbor.

Pig feels that director Michael Bay’s ability to control rhythm is also an aspect of word-of-mouth, and his ability to tell stories has always been a big problem.

and movie word-of-mouth also directly affected the box office. It earned 199 million US dollars in the United States and 449 million US dollars globally, which fell short of expectations. In the end, this "3-hour movie disaster" was based on the Disney production chairman Peter Shi Ned was forced to resign.
