With regard to the plot of Pearl Harbor mentioned in the film, we have to compare it with Titanic again, because there are too many similarities between the two films: both are based on real historical events, both are based on love, both have devastating disasters (and both are shipwreck scenes), and both adopt the organizational model of "fictional protagonist+real supporting role". Like Tai, the three heroes and heroines in Jane are all made up by playwrights, and the supporting actors around them are all real people in history. Dolly Miller, a soldier played by Cuba Gooding Jr., was a fighting hero in Pearl Harbor. After the attack on the warship "West Virginia", he took the lead in fighting the enemy with anti-aircraft machine guns and rescued many officers on board. Captain jimmy Doolittle, played by alec baldwin, is also a real figure in history. He led the Air Force to successfully complete the battle plan of raiding Tokyo after the Pearl Harbor incident, which gave Americans a bad breath (Spencer Tracy also starred in a movie "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo", which was devoted to this battle). Of course, President Roosevelt played by Zhuang Voith comes from real history. However, history is history and movies are movies. In order to attract audiences and earn more money, Hollywood can adapt its history or add or delete it at will to suit the public's preferences. Therefore, before the film was released, a group of American veterans who had experienced Pearl Harbor stood up to protest. Pearl Harbor distorted history and damaged the image of American veterans. Instead, they promoted the film for free from the opposite side. The combination of film promotion and mass production is of course an overwhelming and bombing propaganda offensive-this is also the best explanation for the title of Pearl Harbor. It is said that the film was once named "Tennessee" when it was filmed (this is the name of a warship sunk in the Pearl Harbor incident, but it sounds like copying Titanic), but for the sake of publicity, the producer finally named the film "Pearl Harbor", so that the audience can grasp the general content of the film by smelling the title, which is much better and louder than Tennessee. The modification of the film title is only a small part of the film promotion strategy. In fact, from the moment it was turned on, the news coverage around the film almost never stopped. A few months before the release, the film has launched various posters, and at the same time, the trailer was released in advance on the Internet, in order to adjust people's enthusiasm to the highest point when the film is officially released. In order to increase the attention of the film, Disney not only used a huge poster design (Jane's poster is three times as big as ordinary films), but also specially released the film stills on the anniversary of Pearl Harbor incident last year, and arranged for filmmakers to participate in the commemorative ceremony held by the US military, making a splash. On may 2 1 day, Disney will hold a movie premiere at the pearl harbor memorial hall in Hawaii. At that time, more than 2,000 special guests will enjoy Pearl Harbor and extra fireworks on the deck of Arizona, which may include former US President George W. Bush who participated in World War II. This kind of ostentation and extravagance is unprecedented. Having introduced so many aspects about Pearl Harbor, I just want to tell you that if you are a loyal Hollywood fan, Pearl Harbor can't be missed anyway. Remember the shock and emotion that Titanic brought us? Three years later, Pearl Harbor will probably be another Titanic-if we still need and expect the shock and emotion of that year. References:
