Title: You should really stop reviewing this as a documentary
Review: First of all, Pearl Harbor is a good movie. I thought it was a tribute to the "Greatest Generation." The Pearl Harbor battle scene is the best war scene ever. It bests the Saving Private Ryan D-Day by a wide margin, also when the R-rated version comes out next fall, it will leave no doubt as to the absolutely astounding quality of the battle scenes. The love triangle is a tad overwrought, but so what, it is adequate, just like Titanic was adequate. The atmosphere created by the filmmakers greatly overshadows the inadequacies of the plot. You could spend all day pointing out little historical discrepencies in every war film, Saving Private Ryan involved a mission that never happened, I won't name others. Basically, Pearl Harbor was a movie that got canned by critics who love their films pretentious and self-serving aka Waking Life or Memento. Anyway, it's entertaining and it does justice to the Pearl Harbor attack, not much else can be said.
