As regards Pearl Harbor and From Here to Eternity, the comparisson might
help illuminate what is interesting in Pearl Harbor. From Here to Eternity,
if I remember correctly, has the event intervene in peoples lives as if from
outside. Pearl Harbor, on the other hand, catches all the elements up as if
part of a single event, an event which has no outside and is one with its
own ground. (This marks a difference, but I'm not sure its a reason to
prefer one film to the other.)
