Pearl Harbor
The movie I watched is called Pearl Harbor. It was pretty long, and I found it hard to pay attention to. It starts with Danny and Rafe playing in their dad's old WWI plane, and he is not very happy with them for doing so. In fact, Danny's father even beats him because he doesn't want him playing with Rafe. Danny's father then tells them about how he doesn't want them to see what he saw.
It then changes to when the kids are older, now in the military airforce. They are both Lieutenants and are under Major Doolittle. They get in trouble by playing a game called "chicken" to pass the time. Rafe later learns that he has been accepted into the Eagle Squadron.
Evelyn and Rafe met when she had passed him on his medical exam although he had trouble reading. The two began their relationship, but since Rafe volunteered for the Eagle squadron he is being deployed to Europe. He tells Evelyn that he would be back for her. His plane was shot down, and was presumed dead.
When Rafe returns unexpectedly, he realizes that Danny and Evelyn are now together. He gets in a fight with Danny, and after the night they are interrupted by the attack on Pearl Harbor. Rafe and Danny find an airfield and manage to take down a few enemy aircraft, then return to the hospital. Evelyn tells Rafe that she is pregnant and doesn't want Danny to know. Both Rafe and Danny are promoted, then sent on a mission to bomb Japan. Their plane runs out of fuel, and they are going to be shot by Japanese military. Rafe was going to be the first shot, but provokes the Japanese to shoot him first.
It ends with Rafe and Evelyn getting back together, and raising Danny's child(Danny) in honor of him. I was expecting a better movie since it's directed by Michael Bay, but wasn't really impressed. I would give it a 6/10.

Good summary! Maybe WWII movies aren't your cup of tea because it doesn't get much better than this one!
