The International PEARL HARBOR Trailer Done Beautifully in Quicktime
Hey folks, Harry here... If you saw that GERMAN trailer for PEARL HARBOR the other day you know how the International trailer is even more beautiful than the Domestic American Trailer... but all the dialogue was dubbed in German and the video quality wasn't the highest...
Well, never fear... The French have come to the rescue with a GORGEOUS QUICKTIME version of the trailer with subtitles (in French) but all the dialogue in English.... (The way all foreign films should be treated... language of the original film and subtitles of your own domestic language) They have it digitized in three sizes... the large one is exquisite...
CLICK HERE TO GO GET THIS BEAUTY!!!

These guys at Premiere.fr are doing a fantastic job lately.

What was that music from, anyway?
-
I'm talking about the music in the first half of the trailer. It's driving me crazy! Any help?
-
I think maybe the music is from another film originally, but the song was featured at least two or three times in the movie The Crow. I don't know the name of the song or who performs it, but it's pretty cool. Fits the mood perfectly in the trailer. Anyway, that's the best I can do. I have ladies to pimp.

Could it be? Has Michael Bay grown up? That was so kick-ass!
by lenny nero
I'm so happy that a Michael Bay movie can be appreciated by more than just people wanting a big loud action movie (just saw Rock Criterion Edition last weekend). I thank French Premiere for always having the best trailers, and I thank people for actually speaking up for this movie. Could this be Best Picture 2001? I hope so.

I agree completly... it seem the more they tweak this trailer, the less appealing it becomes... the one we saw in the theatre opening at movies like Unbreakable... it has the music from Hans Zimmer "A Thin Red Line" score, song called "Light"... the deep strings... they play throughout the movie... but even going back to watch that movie again, the strings where they were placed in that movie aren't even as fitting as they were in this trailer...
They start off soft... and layering... and when they get to the "think we are a bunch of weaklings and playboys who hire.." and they show the faces in the theatre... the strings come up a notch... building the intesity... then when they get to the closeup of the bomb dropping and you hear "A day which will live in infamy!" the string hit the highest range and the whole thing comes together... the shots all have more impact... it was golden...
That trailer was the best I have seen in a long long time. Then a bootleg version hit the nets and all those people made that petition to disney to release it on the net. Then they released that trailer but with different music, the music you hear now... which doesn't pack half the emotional punch as the orginal music. And now they are even cutting different scenes in there...
All I know is that first version of this trailer, had the whole theatre stunned... it felt like you just watched a whole movie in 4 minutes... these new versions feel like just a regular trailer...
IMO they have butchered a great trailer. I can email you the bootleg version of the original trailer if you want. -
Excellent. Now I can finally take frame grabs from the trailer using Adobe Premiere and use them as my desktop wallpaper. I think I may have to use a certain scene, let's say, the "follow-the-bomb" scene as one of them. I just hope that the Pearl Harbor website stops showing that tired, old crap on there now and puts up some sweet wallpapers like Final Fantasy is doing. Later.
-
The first versions released to the theaters (Teaser and the version of the Trailer music I liked) both contained Thin Red Line music called "Journey to the Line" from the charging of the Biovac scene, a great scene and a great piece of music. The Crow music to me doesn't fit but thats just my opinion.
-
I read somewhere that Touchstone was forced to change the trailer music because of copyright problems. Possibly because 20th century didn't want Touchstone to use it for some reason.
-
It was from THE THIN RED LINE. And, personally, I think that that music suited the trailer better.
-
My work here is done.

If you ever want to know what the trailer music is...
by paulsgrandfather
It's Carmina Burana. You need know nothing else.
-
Ask a simple question, get fifty answers. Thin Red Line. Got it. Now, about the movie...
-
I'm surprised I haven't seen much on the AMAZING job the Makup people did on Jon Voight to make him look like FDR! Holy Huevos, he doesn't come close to looking like Pa Jolie....does anyone else agree?
-
As far as I know, it's pretty common for movie trailers to borrow music from other films, as the score is often one of the last things to be finished. I swear I've heard the soundtrack to "Stripes" used in a number of trailers. Oh and, the Carmina Burana, while it is an amazing piece of music (thanks, Mr. Orff), has to be the most overused orchestral piece in cinema today; that, and maybe Beethoven's "Ode to Joy"...

Protest Against "Pearl Harbor" Movie: The lie perpetrated upon t
by no2pearlharbor
...continues?! I hope not! As a History teacher, I get angry when history textbooks have inaccurate or totally false statements about historical events. We deserve the whole truth and nothing but the truth. It will be very disturbing to see this movie if it tries to rewrite history with the false claim that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack when our government knew about it way in advance and we had radar data showing the Japanese planes approaching Pearl Harbor. Read "Pearl Harbor Attack No Surprise", "December 7, 1941 . . . a Day of Deceit" and "The Myths of Pearl Harbor" at the following links for more info:

[http://metalab.unc.edu/pha/myths/index.html],
[http://www.ibiblio.org/pha/myths/].
This event in history is similar to how the U.S. government lied to their citizens in order to enter the Vietnam War. Read "30-Year Anniversary: Tonkin Gulf Lie Launched Vietnam War" at the following link for more info:
[http://www.fair.org/media-beat/940727.html].
May 25, 2001 will be a day that will live in infamy if we continue to lie to the public and the world about Pearl Harbor and other historical events. It would be a great disservice to the memories of all the men, women and children who died around the world during WWII. We should make every effort to boycott this film if it continues to perpetrate the lie. -
Wonderful trailer.
But, about the revisionist "no2pearlharbor"... Don't spread those lies, okay? Some of us know better that to listen to your crap. -
I agree with Jack Hammer.
The theory that FDR knew in advance about the Pearl Harbor bombing is a bunch of crapola. -
This theory was, I think, first proposed by John Toland--a reputable WWII historian--a few years back; but whether or not FDR knew of the attack, it was certainly a sneak attack to the men and women who were AT Pearl Harbor, and it remains a national tragedy. (I'm from Arizona, and the state has always solemnly remembered what happened to the men who served on the ship that bears its name.) Why should we boycott the movie because it doesn't fit into some historical revisionist/conspiracy theorist's view of the "truth?" My concern about the movie, though, is that it may sacrifice emotion for kewl special effects: every time I see the TV trailer, with the camera following the Japanese bomb all the way down to the deck of the ship, I imagine a theater full of 14-year-old boys shouting, "Dude! This ROCKS!" That's what scares ME!

About the trailer music, and of ALL people in this TB, i should
by xthecrovvx
I just spent 20 minutes arguing with somebody ignorant and full of denial about where the music in the Pearl Harbor trailer comes form(btw, the movie does look like it'll be great)....and it's NOT from the first Crow film, but from the SECOND ONE, The Crow: City Of Angels(In the film, it plays during the credits, and after Ashe comes back to life, finding his son's painting). Does it fit here? Sorta...at least they didnt use the "used-to-kick-ass" piece of score from Crimson Tide like they seem to do with every military based film since 1996(they even used it in an Independence Day trailer, for cryin' out loud!!!)....and on the other end of the spectrum, at least they didnt use The Crow's music in the trailer for something stupid (read: the trailer for Beverly Hills Ninja)....Revolution is my name...
