Pearl Harbor (2001) - Poster - Ben Affleck

Pearl Harbor is by far the swelled film that I ’ve forge on . And I was trepedatious about it . Because I was very happy with the amount of work I was fix and the type of conductor I was work with .

You take the playscript , and you know it ’s not going to be a direct historical film . It is a romance . And you know , a few years after Titanic had come out , and they want to capitalise on a interchangeable type of audience . And that Michael Bay make big , spectacle films . He ’s interested in large aspect of filmmaking and it ’s not necessarily about the familiar moments . That order , I got along with Michael really well . I think a raft of people at that clock time were pronounce he ’s a very unmanageable director to mould with , and like blah blah blah blah claptrap and watch out . And I did n’t have that experience at all . I guess Ben took some of the brunt of Michael ’s unhappiness at times when things would go incorrect , but they already had a relationship . But I did n’t have that experience , I think maybe because I was so green , that he just took it easy on me .
