PEARL HARBOR.

Hi everyone, this week I would likely to talk about Pearl Harbor, a movie released in 2001, that is an American action war film directed by Michael Bay and produced by Bay. It features a large ensemble cast, including Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Alec Baldwin, Jon Voight, Kate Beckinsale, Cuba Gooding etc.
Pearl Harbor is a dramatic reimagining of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Some of its scenes were among the last to be filmed in Technicolor. Despite receiving negative reviews from critics, Pearl Harbor became one of the highest-grossing films of 2001 according to Wikipedia. (copy, paste)
Production

The main budget of this film was about $208 million. In order to recreate the atmosphere of a pre war like it was as Pearl Harbor, the producers had the advantages of staging the film in Hawaii and using the current Naval facilities, although for the sake of expediency and due to the present use of the base. Rosarito served as the ideal location to recreate the death throes of the battleships in the Pearl Harbor attack.
According to Wikipedia the film grossed US$200 million at the domestic box office and US$450 million worldwide. The film was ranked the sixth highest-earning picture of 2001.
As the movie is being presented, this has several shots, specially Master shots, to show us the main scenarios of Japan and US, also to show us the mayor scenes of attack and also medium shots of the characters, to show us the moods that they got towards decisions or problems that they had to face. Most of the scenes were filmed during day.

At the 2002 Academy Awards, Pearl Harbor was nominated for four awards, winning one for Sound Effects Editing. Its other nominations were for Best Sound, Best Visual Effects, and Best Song.
