Brief Synopsis:
By removing the love triangle this turns out to be a great action and war movie about a day the US will never forget.
Intention:
ADM's Pearl Harbor: Strength and Honor is one of my favorite fanedits but, due to age and availability of source material, has always been trapped as an SD edit with stereo sound. This edit faithfully recreates the original using a higher quality source.
Additional Notes:
This is AdigitalMan's edit of Pearl Harbor faithfully reconstructed using an updated HD source of the director's cut of the film. All editing decisions belong to the original editor. Spence only recreated the edit exactly to create a more up to date version of this great project.

Editing Details:
HBO had the Pearl Harbor Director's Cut showing and streaming in HD a while ago, the only time this version of the movie has ever played in HD. As one of the bigger fans of this movie (It's good! The romance works! The action is great! etc.) I preserved a copy of it for myself. Using this newly available HD version of the Director's Cut, I have completely and faithfully recreated ADM's edit but in HD, with 5.1 sound. This obviously isn't going to be Blu-ray quality, but it's leagues better than what came before in terms of picture and sound fidelity.
I used the original edit as a guide and recreated it as faithfully as I possibly could. I didn't make any changes or use any personal input. This is cut for cut the same edit ADM made, but brought forward into the world of HD edits. It's literally exactly the same length as the old one.
So, not really a "Spence Edit" but a tribute to one of my favorite fanedits by one of the founding fathers of fanediting.

A fantastic recreation of a fanedit that improved the original. Makes you wonder why Bay didn't edit the film like this.

A loving and faithful recreation of A Digital Man's fan edit in HD!
Since this is a rebuild of the original fan edit, some of the original weaknesses remain.
The removal of the Love Triangle works 99%, but there are a few sequences that now play awkward such as Rafe and Danny's bar reunion, the lovelorn looks while giving blood and Danny writing a love letter to Evelyn.
But if you crave non-stop action and John Wayne style patriotism, you can not do better than this fan edit!
