how good is it? ... admittedly, i have not seen TTT, but i would assume the use of special effects in PH makes it the current 'best' portrayal of the battle scene ... given how most folks admire the first 45 minutes of SPR, was wondering if there are other movies out there that have gave a comparable effort to PH ...

The part with the guys trapped in the Arizona really hit me.

Well, I'm not by any means knowledgeable on these old movies, but in the past month I've seen From Here To Eternity and parts of Midway. Both, to me at least, looked like they used a lot of actual war footage. So it doesn't get any better than that as far as special effects. Midway is actually pretty impressive and according to Wiki it used a lot of Tora footage.

Probably considered a good portrayal of what it was like during the attack, but from a historical and cinematic standpoint it's a disgrace. There is a great thread on reddit I'll try to find where someone just slaughters it. They show modern American carriers during the scenes where the Japanese fleet is sailing, multiple shots of modern cruisers and destroyers during the attach, and you can see the Arizona memorial in several frames in the background of the attack.

Kate Beckingsdale:

I'm in love with Guy A

Oh no, Guy A goes to war, still in love though

Guy A is dead, I'm in love with Guy A's best friend now

Guy A is not dead? I, um, in still in love with best friend

Best friend is dead, for real though

I'm in love with Guy A again. I'm also carrying best friend's baby. Gonna raise it together.
