The late 20th and early 21st centuries saw a return to large-scale, epic romances set against historical backdrops, combined with modern cinematic realism. The Patient (1996) used a tragic, sweeping wartime affair as its central mystery, while Pearl Harbor (2001) structured an entire historical catastrophe around a classic Hollywood love triangle.

His death in the final reel is rendered unbearably poignant because the film has spent its runtime building the beauty of what he is losing. The romance is not a justification for the war; it is an indictment of it. The message is subtle but seismic: a man who loves this much should not be on that frozen carrier. Hollywood was beginning to separate the soldier’s love from the state’s goals.
