Below is a blog post written assuming you want to review or discuss the extended version of the movie. (If you meant a different film or a specific dub/subtitle version, let me know!) When you hear Pearl Harbor (2001), two things usually come to mind: the stunning, visceral 40-minute attack sequence, and the infamous love triangle that Michael Bay tried to sell as Titanic meets Saving Private Ryan .
