The movie "Pearl Harbor" obviously portrays the real life event Pearl Harbor. The movie starts with the 2 main characters Danny and Rafe are pretending to kill the Germans in WWI. Then 18 years later, Rafe was accepted to do a mission in the Battle of Britain. Rafe leaves his girlfriend Evelyn and best friend Danny and goes to fight. Then Danny gets word that Rafe was shot down and killed. He tells Evelyn and she is devastated, later, Danny and Evelyn start getting close to each other. Then the night before the attack comes, Evelyn finds Rafe standing outside her door and he tells her of his experiences and how he survived. He then finds out that her and Danny are seeing each other so he drives off to a bar but Danny follows him and they get into a fight. The next morning Pearl Harbor is attacked and the airstrip is ruined. So Rafe, Danny, and the other still living pilots drive to the next nearest airstrip to try to get in the air. They both do and they start shooting down Japanese planes. The next day the U.S. declares war and Rafe and Danny are selected to go on a secret mission to bomb Tokyo. Evelyn tells Rafe that she is pregnant but she doesn't want Danny to know, so Rafe tries to tell Danny to stay home but he doesn't. While on their way to Tokyo, they are spotted but they still survive and bomb Tokyo, but they have to land in China but where the Japanese are so they are fighting for their lives. Danny gets shot and killed at the end of all the fighting in China. Then Rafe goes back home and tells Evelyn of the news. When the child is born Rafe and Evelyn are together again but name it Danny.
I liked this movie for the action it had in it but also how real many parts of it are. What I didn't like though was how Danny had to die and leave his pregnant girlfriend alone.
I give this film a 9/10 rating.
