I watched the movie Pearl Harbor. It starts with Danny and Rafe who are two childhood friends who join the Army because they both love to fly planes. While they are being tested for their pilot licenses. Rafe falls in love with a Navy nurse named Evelyn. Shortly after that Rafe has to go to Great Britain to fight the Germans. While Rafe was in Britain his plane got shot down and he landed in the ocean. News got back to America that Rafe was dead and Evelyn and Danny morn the loss of him. Danny and Evelyn spend a lot of time together and end up falling in love. Evelyn becomes pregnant and while she's on her way to tell Danny, she sees Rafe standing outside her house. Rafe finds out Danny and Evelyn are together and he is heart broken.
The next day Japanese planes start flying over the harbor. They came in the morning for surprise. As bombs started dropping panic was everywhere. Ships were sinking and people were dying. Rafe, Danny and some other pilots found some not yet bombed ships and got in the sky to start shooting Japanese planes, but the damage was already done. Many ships were sunk or destroyed and thousands of people dead. Some people were even stuck in the sinking ships.
The next day congress declared war on Japan. The government had a plan to drop an atomic bomb on Japan but they knew the planes wouldn't reach that far. Rafe, Danny, and some other pilots started training to drop the bombs then set out on their mission.
The carrrier ships got as close as they could to Japanese shores and the boys took flight. They made it to Hiroshima and Nagasaki and dropped the bombs, on their way back to land that wasn't controlled by Japan they started running out of fuel. Rafe's plane landed with only one engine. They got out of the plane and Japanese troops swarmed. Danny came in and shot the Japanese troops so Rafe could live. Danny's plane crashed and danny died. Rafe came home and took care of Evelyn and Danny's baby.
I give this movie an 9.5 out of ten. It was so detailed and I really like how it portrayed the Pearl Harbor attack along with an unpredictable love story. The attack was so sad and the producers showed that wonderfully.
