Watched Pearl Harbor.
Actually the title should have been Pearl Habor & The Doolitle Raid.
Another movie where a young woman waits for her two most beloved men to return from a seemingly suicide mission where one of them sacrifices himself for Ben Affleck who can return to the beloved woman.
Quite a long (almost 3 hours), patriotic movie with a meaningless sidetrack of PoC placement. Otherwise the movie copypastes themes and tropes from the afore-implied Armageddon and Catch 22. Has that typical shitty camera work and pace which characteristic to many early 2000's Hollywood movies (but perhaps the trend started in the late 90s, Armageddon is similar), like Gone in 60 Seconds.
It was released in 2001 May, the year when another Pearl Harbor level attack happened against the United States. When they had to find their resolve and strike back. Just as in the movie. What a coincidence.

2001 seen other masterpieces worth watching more, such as Pootie Tang and Freddy Got Fingered not to mention Memento and Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back.
