I finally watched your Strength and Honour edit of Pearl Harbor.
Congratulations. You did very well and definetly made this a much better movie than it was before. This is exactly what fan edits should be, an improvement over the original, a new view, a pleasure to watch. i was very well entertained and could almost forget about my watching experience of Pearl Harbor, when it was in the cinemas. The story unfolds well and nothing is missing to badly, especially not the love story. Still the movie is not th ebest war movie ever shot, IMHO there is way to much about praising heroes, especialy when slow motion is added. Those scenes are hard to bear. A little language excursion here: the word pathetic and the German pathetisch (both with he same greek roots of pathos which in greek means emotion, feeling) are very different. The English one means pitiful, poor and the German one means way to much emotion. The German meaning is one of my still existin problems with Pearl Harbor, even in your edition... The Cuba Gooding Junior scenses as well as most Alec Baldwin scenes are kind of overweighted with hero emotion. Beside that this has become a great movie. As for the editing I hardly ever realized you edited anything at all, which is jsut great. Picture quality and sound are fantastic, ther is no flaw or break there (that I realized). Still some scenes seemed a bit strange: how did Ben Affleck get to Hawaii and how long did that take (because it all seems to happen within a day or two)? Why did Kate Beckinsale and Josh Hartnett leave the newsshow in the theatre? And why do Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett look so strange at the nurse, when they are giving blood? And finally jsut a few more things I thought being worth improved: a nicer menu would have been great, especially no pink markings. The DVD cedits are too small. I was not able to read them clearly (which is not a matter of screen size but of sharpness). Subtitles would have been great (but I have already realized that no one likes to type them at all).
Anyway, keep up the great work, I really enjoyed this and I am hopeful to watching some more of your talent soon. Thank you.
