Michael Bay’s "Pearl Harbor" (2001) is less a historical film than a case study in cinematic memory.

It explores:

– The real timeline of Dec. 7, 1941
– Composite characters vs. real people
– Ethical questions in representing real tragedy
– How spectacle reshaped WWII memory in the 21st century

Just published a deep-dive critique of "Pearl Harbor" (2001) — a film that blends blockbuster spectacle with one of America’s darkest days.

I explore how the movie reimagines the attack on December 7, 1941, where it stays grounded in history, and where it drifts into Hollywood melodrama.

Richard Jewell’s story is a case study in how misidentification spreads — and why narratives built on assumption can destroy real lives.

“Share first, verify later” isn’t new, but it’s more dangerous than ever.

“Based on true events”… but how true?

‘The Order’ tells the story of a violent neo-Nazi network in 1980s America — inspired by real crimes, real victims, and one fiery standoff.
