• Pearl Harbor es una película de dos horas comprimida en tres, sobre cómo el 7 de diciembre de 1941 los japoneses organizaron un ataque sorpresa contra un triángulo amoroso americano. Su pieza central son 40 minutos de efectos especiales redundantes, rodeados de una historia de amor de una banalidad pasmosa. La película ha sido dirigida sin gracia, visión ni originalidad, y aunque puede que salgas citando líneas de diálogo, no será porque las admires.

• Las películas, en la medida en que glorifican el sinsentido y la falta de atención, son malas; en la medida en que fomentan la empatía con personas que no son como nosotros y nos animan a reflexionar sobre la vida, son buenas.

• Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson star. I neglected to mention that, maybe because I was trying to place them in this review's version of the Witness Protection Program.

• Llamarlo anticlímax sería un insulto no sólo a los clímax sino a los prefijos. Es un secreto de mala muerte, un peldaño por encima de It Was All a Dream en la escala de la originalidad narrativa. De hecho, es tan absurdo que cuando descubrimos el secreto, queremos rebobinar la película para no conocerlo más. Y luego seguir rebobinando, y rebobinando, hasta que volvamos al principio, y podamos levantarnos de nuestros asientos y salir del cine caminando hacia atrás y bajar por la escalera mecánica hacia arriba y ver cómo el dinero salta de la caja registradora a nuestros bolsillos.

• Here is a children's film made for the world we should live in, rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fight scenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. No scary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that is benign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creature in the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap.
