Through the eyes of the fliers, the film then showed, albeit briefly, the destruction the Japanese had wrought on Hawaii. In particular, it showed the suffering of the civilians and the losses the military had suffered. At the same time, as propaganda, the film portrayed fifth columnists attacking one of the B-17s, and later an officer at Hickam Field described how saboteurs, driving down the fightline, had destroyed the planes lined up wing tip to wingtip. Not true, of course, but the images undoubtedly produced the intended anger within audiences.
Apart from John Ford's 1942 documentary, December 7, mostly a recreation of the surprise attack filmed on a studio back lot, Hollywood did not again portray Pearl Harbor until after World War II. December 7 appears very briefly in the 1949 film, Task Force, an epic rendering of naval aviation and in the 1953 film, From Here to Eternity, which well captured the initial shock of the attack among the soldiers at Schofield Barracks. The 1965 potboiler, In Harm's Way, next portrayed the attack in a short sequence that lays the framework for the portrayal of how the Navy turned the tide in the Pacific.
Stars Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Elijah Wood, Benicio del Toro and Josh Hartnett; Directors Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. 124 Mins.
SIN City is probably the most stylish Hollywood movie since Citizen Kane - but it is also one of the most brutallyviolent Based on a series of comic book graphic novels by Frank Miller, it retains the hard-edged look of Miller's drawings with amazing backgrounds, exaggerated characters and tough guy (and girl) antics.
At times the visual look of the film is so intense that it almost becomes a strain on the eyes, every shot, every scene filmed in a high concept, amplified look with crazy angles, curious settings and bizarre action.
