4 Shots From 4 Films: Remember Pearl Harbor

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

4 Or More Shots From 4 Or More Films is just what it says it is, 4 shots from 4 of our favorite films. As opposed to the reviews and recaps that we usually post, 4 Shots From 4 Films lets the visuals do the talking!

Visiting Pearl Harbor and seeing the remains of the Arizona, still trapped underwater and serving as a tomb for many of its crew, was one of the most moving experiences of my life.  It’s not something that you’ll ever forget.  You really don’t understand the full tragedy of Pearl Harbor until you visit for yourself.  There have been several films made about Pearl Harbor, some better than others.  Here are shots from four of them.

It was 84 years ago today that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.  The attack was the deadliest foreign attack on the U.S. until September 11th.  Today, I pay respect to the 2,403 brave Americans who lost their lives that day.

This from the film, Pearl Harbor.  The movie is not that good but the song is beautiful.

A Scene That I Love: Charlie Brown Gets The Seasonal Blues In A Charlie Brown Christmas

Posted on by Dazzling Erin

Charlie Brown isn’t the only one who gets sad around the holidays.

A lot of people do.  I’m one of them.  I love Christmas but I still get sad thinking about those who are no longer with us and that another year is coming to an end.  I know that this holiday, just like last year, is going to be especially difficult for many people around the world.  Don’t be ashamed if you’re feeling down this month.  You’re not alone.

In this scene that I love, Charlie Brown is feeling down for the holidays too but he finds someone to talk to.  Unfortunately, that person is Lucy.  However, sometimes it’s most important just to have someone to talk to.

This year, I hope Lucy finally gets her real estate.
