Pearl Harbor (Michael Bay's Titanic) - Caravan Of Garbage

Michael Bay may be commonly known for producing borderline unwatchable Transformers movies but did you know in 2001 he directed a borderline unwatchable Pearl Harbor film with Ben Affleck? So in preparation for Roland Emmerich's Midway we revisit and review Pearl Harbor in all its glory. The action scenes, the love triangles, the golden skin and the way it's trying very hard to be James Cameron's Titanic. Caravan Of Garbage Thanks for watching.

Not only did Japan NOT target civilians in Pearl Harbor, the ONE Japanese pilot who ever killed anyone on the mainland US was so wracked with guilt that he eventually visited the town the people were from, donated a family heirloom to the town (which is still on display at the local library), was made an honorary citizen of the town, and some of his ashes were scattered there. After his death, his diary was found to contain a passage that read “If we knew each other. If we understood each other as a friend, this foolish war would never have happened. I sincerely hope that a day would come where everyone could overcome their differences through talking and not fighting”

[@liamcullins]

Watched this film in middle school as part of my history class, and looking back, Ben Affleck’s character is legitimately a terrible person. He breaks the news to his girlfriend that he volunteered to go to England to fight the night before he ships out before telling her that her wishes didn’t matter in this supposedly serious relationship. Then once he gets shot down and his girlfriend moves on and finds happiness with his friend, he returns and beats the snot out of Kevin Hartnett’s character for “stealing his girl”. Like, dude, you chose to go and risk your life elsewhere, even saying that your girlfriend’s wishes didn’t matter, and now you’re back and you have the audacity to be mad when she moves on? Also, there’s that little detail of him withholding the news of the pregnancy from Kevin Hartnett’s character until he’s about to die. I can’t imagine what his last thoughts must’ve been. “My kid that I’ll never meet will grow up with this phenomenal a-hole as their father. I wish he really had died in that plane crash.”

I feel like "Saving Private Ryan" might have served as some inspiration for the funding; it came out in 1998. The movies are nothing alike in tone, but that's because Michael Bay can't take anything seriously. I wouldn't mind seeing a Spielbergian version of Pearl Harbor.

[@v-trigger6137]

My dad is friends with Daniel Martinez. Martinez told me that he spent the entire shoot telling Bay, "That's not what happened," and Bay completely ignored him. There's also a story that Bay and Affleck had personal drivers on-call 24 hours a day while they were in Hawai'i. At the end, Affleck gave his driver a gift of 50,000 USD. Bay gave his driver two Pearl Harbor hats. The point is: movies aren't the only thing that're bad about Michael Bay.

You should maybe do some Caravan of Garbage episodes on classic war films. Films like Bridge over the River Kwai, Battle of Britain, Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare and my personal favourite A Bridge Too Far

[@mapesdhs597]

And "The Longest Day"; if you watch the opening sequence and baring in mind there was no CGI & suchlike back then, what they achieved was quite remarkable (and the cast is mind blowing, it has everyone famous from that time): kzbin.info/www/bejne/maG6iquMgp1jg9k Btw, for a revealing perspective on the Normandy invasion, read the book, "D DAY Through German Eyes", by Holger Eckhertz: www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1539586391/ Also re movies, there's "Patton" (which won 7 Oscars), "Kelly's Heroes", "Battle of the Bulge", "The Guns of Navarone", "Ice Cold In Alex", "Cross of Iron", "Das Boat" (1981), "Stalingrad", and so many others. Hmm, though not a factual movie as such, "White Tiger" is intriguing, more a take on the notion of war itself (ie. war as a kind of evil which seeks to sustain itself), though note there's a weirdly slow section just before the final ending: www.imdb.com/title/tt2318405/ Reminds me of the film, "Deathwatch" (2002), set in the WW1 trenches, but it's a somewhat more conventional film (I found "White Tiger" more interesting): www.imdb.com/title/tt0286306/ And I guess when it comes to the sheer horror of war, it's impossible not to mention, "Come and See", depicting events in Belarus: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ7bopR9friSp9k Oddly enough btw, "A Bridge Too Far" would be at the top of my list too, probably alongside, "Patton". I think, "The Keep" (1983) is also good, but I can't recall much about it now. On the lighter side, there's, "Hannibal Brooks" (1969): www.imdb.com/title/tt0064403/ Oh, and though not WW2, I highly recommend, "The Bedford Incident" (1965), a Cold War submarine tale, with Sidney Poitier in one of his best roles. Of course some of the above are not exactly an easy fit for the generally comedic tone of this channel series, but hey, war is hell. :}

Fun fact about Titanic: every single shot in that movie is of a scale replica. I believe it was built to 1/6 the size of the actual Titanic. So every shot of it, the cap sizing and such, is all practical FX, the only special FX in Titanic is the distant shots of crowds of people on the deck of the ship as it's sinking. The giant wave caused by the ship crashing into the water, also part of the practical FX. James Cameron really pushed the industry to make that film in the way that he did, and no one has made a movie with practical FX to that degree since.

When Rafe ( Ben Affleck ) crashes his plane into the sea during the dogfight, it's daytime. When he comes to the surface of the water, it's night time, lol.

[@jinxysaberk]

Hell yeah I also agree you should never feel guilty about doing something you enjoy when you’re not hurting anyone. Plus when you’re open about the things you love it’s much easier to find people who like the same stuff

Oh my god Mason! I can't believe you didn't see Titan... oh nevermind.

Can anyone from the UK confirm that the "WW2 just started line" was initially dubbed over here? I had this film on VHS as a kid and could swear it was always "WW2 just hit us". I've seen it on TV since and the line is back to the original version. Does anyone else remember this or am I going insane?

[@lexman7179]

I worked in a cinema when this film came out it was the only film that had a screening that 0 people turned up for.

[@EhFrank]

I've done the "I'm going to watch the 40-minute battle sequence from Pearl Harbor today" thing before, I can confirm, I am a creep.

[@DavidWilliamsaz]

You missed Clint Eastwoods Sons of Iwo Jima.

[@the503creepout7]

As soon as this video started i couldn't help but keep remembering how terrible & cheesy this film was. Then at about the 12 minute mark, James mentioned the Transformers movies & all of a sudden i thought to myself: "y'know - Pearl Harbor isn't really all that bad."

[@Brandonhung95]

7:16 was the first F to pay respect

[@clark82]

This movie wants to think it’s one of the big 1950/60’s David Lean style blockbusters, but falls well short. Imagine it’s a case of the people behind it thinking how could they combine Titanic and Saving Private Ryan into one movie, and this is the result

AKA How not to make a war movie.

[@ciarandodrill3562]

Forced to watch this film repeatedly in history class a long time ago.....I can confirm it is a guilty pleasure but I've not watched in some time

[@Thecuriousincident1]

Why would they show a film in History class that is not very accurate?

[@ciarandodrill3562]

When your teacher doesn't show up to class due to illness so they wheel in the old clunky TV with a selection of Ben hurr, A Knights Tale(awesome) Pearl Harbour, and downfall

This is like the equivalent of a physics teacher putting on Star Wars when he's hung over.

[@mrsb50]

The Latin teacher at my high school was notorious for repeatedly showing the movies Shrek and Remember the Titans in his classes. I don’t think I need to specify this but just in case anyone’s wondering: the movies were not in Latin.

I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark when he made Pearl Harbor.

[@Tymbus]

Hard to know who's worse, Michael Bay or Roland Emmerich? I could feel my brain cells dying during Independence Day, they haven't grown back. Dunkirk (2017) by Christopher Nolan is quite good.

[@Ian-oe9wp]

definitely Michael

[@ButchersNailsEnjoyer]

At least michael bay tries because he likes the military (13 hours) but i get the feeling emerich is going to make yet another disaster film but just pearl harbor

[@jamstonjulian6947]

I can't believe I'm saying this but Michael Bay probably has more talent, it's just that talent is filtered through his garbage sensibilities.

[@ciaranmcloughlin7165]

I can't wait for the extended version of this for 2 reasons. I get to hear all of this again with some bonus stuff. And 2 I get to hear The Weekly Planet rip into Pearl Harbor!

[@FabulousKilljoy917]

As an American, who grew up in American public schools, everytime you learn about WWII in school your middle aged male history teacher will ALWAYS show parts of this movie😂without a doubt. And you do feel sappy during the actual Pearl Harbor scene but at the mention of the film otherwise it’s a groan.

[@flagassault9715]

Should do a review for Band of Brothers

Big ups for the Thin Red Line recommendation. Fantastic movie and a great Hans Zimmer score.

[@danielireland8628]

The FACT of me literally just finishing up a great bowl of smooth greenery and walking into this going.. ' hey.. this might be interesting. And then you mention not only The ROCKETEER ( my 2nd all-time Favorite movie ) but then The Great Escape ( a movie I ONCE passively mentioned as my Favorite McQueen movie to my then just started dating girlfriend 8 years ago ) and my now wife just bought the VHS copy for me for our 9 years together 1 year married anniversary. Long story short those two mentions totally got you a new subscriber. Lol. Cheers 👊 😎

probably the most historical accurate film of Michael Bay, after Transformers the last knight

[@jakewhit9000]

This was definitely beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the movies of all times...it had a beginning, and an end, and lots of footage in between. I have never in my life have seen something like this and NOT be able to think " that was definitely alot of things put onto film I got to watch at a later time " ... best recorded events put on film to watch at a later time in history! ..thanks guys !!!

[@CREECHERFEATURE]

I wouldn’t mind them reviewing Big Red One, that’s a rough war film to watch.
