In 1941, America found out about Pearl Harbor by radio. The movies afterwards portrayed the deaths of young American boys at the hands of the Japanese, but made sure the country was steeled to fight against the Jap and Nazi aggression.

If Hollywood would do it correctly, then grieving process complete or not, it should be done. If you want closure, then seeing a movie which shows the tyranny behind that day, the Evil which masterminded the deaths of almost 300 people, civilian or not, that day, must be shown, must be confronted, and must be portrayed as the Evil thugs they are. I do not trust Hollywood to do this accurately. But it should be done by someone.

We are losing our Will to Fight for our very lives. We would rather pursue our comfortable pasttimes and hobbies than be confronted by the horrors which our Loss of Will shall bring upon us. It should be done, it must be done, and there is no one worthy of the effort to do so. If there were, we would have movies about Fallujah, movies about Afghanistan, movies about special ops conducted on our behalf against the Evil Men who continue to plan, plot, and operate against civilized society and for our Deaths. There are none. Because Hollywood is full of cowards.

Kris is half right, half wrong. The images are not too raw for Americans, including those who lost loved ones to see. If that were the case, the parents who lost sons at Pearl Harbor would not have wanted to see their movies or seen the death WWII brought. And they were the first to demand revenge.

I fear the movie which Hollywood would produce. But I fear not that it should be made. Only that America will be made the butt of the joke, the hand behind the plot, and the cause of the Evil those men perpetrate in the name of their god.

But we need to see it.

I don’t think that it’s too soon – there are a lot of folks going about their daily lives thinking that the last 5 years of no attacks on our soil indicates we no longer need to be vigilant. That is the wrong way to think, and if this helps to keep people thinking – that it is a great idea.
