The summers most anticipated film, Pearl Harbor, which has opened recently, painstakingly re-creates the Japanese at

20、tack that drew the United States into World War II. But that isnt the films only reminder of the past. Harbor invites comparison to Titanic, the biggest hit of all time. Like Titanic, Harbor heaps romance and action around a major historical event. Like Titanic, Harbor attempts to create popular glo

21、bal entertainment from a deadly real-life tragedy. Like Titanic, Harbor costs a pretty penny and hopes to get in even more at the box office.

25、ific Fleet. Both films spent heavily on special effects. Harbor director, Michael Bay, for example, says he kept salaries down so more could be spent on the visuals. Both movies even shot their ship-sinking scenes at the same location; Fox Studios Baja in Mexico. Harbors makers have even taken a Tit

26、antic-like approach to the soundtrack. The film includes one song. There Youll be, performed by country music superstar Faith Hill. Titanic, which is one of the best selling soundtracks of all time, also has only one pop song: Celine Dions MY Heart Will Go On. “If Harbor becomes a major moneymaker,
