Moviegoers may think history is
repeating itself this weekend. The summer’s most anticipated film, Pearl Harbor,
which has opened recently, painstakingly recreates the Japanese attack that drew
the United States into World War II. But that isn’t the film’s only reminder of
the past. Harbor invites comparison to Titanic, the biggest hit of ail time. Like Titanic, Harbor heaps romance and action around a major historical event. Like Titanic, Harbor attempts to create popular global entertainment from a deadly real life. Like Titanic, Harbor costs a pretty penny and hopes to get in even more at the box office. Both Titanic and Pearl Harbor unseal their tales of love and tragedy over more than three hours. Both stories center on young passion, triangles of tension with one woman and two men: In Titanic, Leonardo DiCaprio and B A. The attack on Pearl Harbor and the sinking of the Titanic. B.
