The WWII movie I watched was Pearl Harbor. It showed events leading up to Pearl Harbor and the attack that the Japanese planned against us. It showed pilots and nurses at Pearl Harbor and how they weren't really doing anything for the war. The movie shows the Japanese leaders planning the attack, and US officers trying to figure out what is going on with the Japanese Navy.
The movie starts out with two young boys playing in a crop duster. Then it shows them flying air force planes. One of the friends, Rafe, is chosen to go over to Britain and fight in Europe. He leaves behind his nurse girlfriend, Evelyn. His best friend, Danny, is sent to Pearl Harbor, along with all the other nurses with Evelyn. After some time of fighting, Rafe's airplane is shot down and he is assumed dead. After three months of Rafe being gone, Danny and Evelyn seen each other for the first time in those three months. They realize they like each other. Time passes and Rafe ends up coming back. He finds out that his best friend was getting close with his girlfriend. They end up fighting but the next day the attack happens. They race to an airport that hasn't been attacked yet, and help fight off the Japanese.
For that act of bravery, they are awarded Silver Stars. They then have been offered a top secret mission and they accept. They go to Japan and bomb buildings and make it to China where they crash land. Danny is killed by Japanese troops but Rafe is able to return home to Evelyn. But before Danny dies, Rafe reveals to him that he is going to be a father and can't die. Evelyn is pregnant with Danny's child.
Overall, it was an amazing movie. It had comedy, drama, violence, and showed how the hospitals were stretched for medicine and how many people actually died. A very good movie, especially for the people who like a good romance movie without it being all lovey-dovey.
