Pearl Harbor

A few weeks ago I watched the movie Pearl Harbor, but haven't blogged about it because my appendix was taken out. Pearl Harbor starts out with two kids named Rafe and Danny, and they are playing in Rafe's dad's plane. Danny's Dad fought in WWI against the German and he catches Rafe and Danny in the plane after they accidently start it. Danny's dad takes him home and tells him how he never wants him to see anything he saw in the war. 18 years later the two are in the Air Force and always get in trouble because they play chicken a lot. This isn't good because they could crash and that's why the Air Force officials didn't like it. Rafe gets accepted into the Eagle Squadron which meant he was to go to Europe and fight.

This movie has is somewhat of a love story and Rafe falls in love with Evelyn, a nurse who gave him the medical exam. She says she is in love with him and he says the same. They are both really sad when he leaves, and she gives him her scarf so that he will remember her. She gets told by Danny that he was shot down in the Battle of Britian and landed in the English Channel. He was assumed dead, and they were both really sad. The two leave the a movie after scenes of planes getting shot down and they go eat together. In a few days, Evelyn comes to the hangar and they talk and are in love. When Rafe shows up after coming home from the war alive, Evelyn is surprised that he is there and she doesnt know who she loves. Danny and Rafe end up fighting, but then fall asleep.

When the wake up it is December 7th and the Japanese are attacking Hawaii and that is where they are. The two guys get into planes and shoot down 7 Japanese planes and almost die. They then help rescue more men from the harbor. They are then told they will have to go on a secret bombing of Tokyo and they both go. When both planes crash in China, the Japanese restrain them. Danny is hurt and Rafe tries to save him by shooting the Japanese. the Japanese shoot Danny even though Rafe tries to stop them. Rafe goes home with Danny's coffin and sees Evelyn. She is pregnant with Danny's son and Rafe and her raise him and they name him Danny.

  • Oh! I liked the movie! It was kind of a love story, but there was lots of action to equal it out. I've watched it when I was a kid and we have the dvds so ive grown up watching it. Overall a good movie!
