Louis underway (CL-4).įrom the FDR Presidential Library, Castle Films News Parade brings us the Bombing of Pearl Harbor. Among the many valuable portions of this footage are shots of USS Nevada (BB-36) underway and firing back at Japanese aircraft, USS Oglala (CM-4) rolling over and sinking, and USS St. The original footage has since been lost, and the poor quality of this footage is due to the fact that it is a copy. This COLOR footage of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was shot by CWO4 Clyde Daughtry. This is the only known real color film of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
NOTE: This is all original color film, not B&W that has been colored, or stock footage made by a studio. 7, 1941 – The only color film of the attack Here are 5 Pearl Harbor attack videos to watch on YouTube. That’s why we’ve compiled 5 of the best Pearl Harbor attack videos that we could find on YouTube – to help frame the attack for viewers. Like the film, the music seems recycled.It’s hard to understand how devastating the attack on Pearl Harbor was just by reading about it in a blog post or in a history book. Just before the end, "War" works up some martial pacing, but only to give the score an appropriately majestic sendoff.
Four straight tracks of dirge-like orchestral music topped by the wordless vocals of Julia Migenes go by before "Attack" signals that the fight has begun, and even that track falls off into a becalmed passage before long. Zimmer is no James Horner, either, but his music is relentlessly slow and wistful, suggesting a film in which the action is a long time coming.
Like the Titanic soundtrack album, this one has just the one pop song, followed by excerpts from Hans Zimmer's score. Not surprisingly, however, Pearl Harbor is no Titanic, Hill is no Celine Dion, and "There You'll Be" is no "My Heart Will Go On," though all of them do reasonable enough imitations to get by. Who else to write it but heartbreak ballad queen Diane Warren, and who else to sing it but diva-of-the-moment Faith Hill? Mix the elements, open it on Memorial Day weekend, and wait for the receipts to pour in. And finally, there's the soundtrack album, which had to feature a big end-title ballad in which a woman sang to her dead lover. The hiring of director Michael Bay must have seemed obvious, at least to Bruckheimer, who had him handle Armageddon, which also featured Ben Affleck, here moving up to above-the-title star status. Perfect: That allowed for war footage akin to Saving Private Ryan. Big-budget action film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, looking at the receipts for Titanic, must have had his staff search the history books for another big disaster that could be turned into a similar romance-with-special-effects, and they came up with the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.
