    i should qualify my response.

    i am not twisted up by these films that are built on sorrow, bad luck or tragic incidents. i am sickened by the drive to produce those pieces riding on waves of nationalistic, pro-attack heartstrings to make a buck. i do not think that making the latest Pearl Harbor film was to honor or memorialize the incident for those who fell from it, or the world to pay homage by seeing it- it was to make a dollar.

    I applaud great films that hold those values (albeit sad ones) in honor and make the pieces to honor those values, feelings, ect. we seem to be pretty much inline with the thought that this film looks like a commercialization of an event that disheartened many of the U.S. My twisted-upness comes from the driving moral behind a film like this and it's guise as a memorial to those who do not critique it, like we are here. .
