Movie Review on Pearl Harbour

Hello all, I have just watched this movie with my family a few days ago, and I few that this movie is suitable for us all as it is a little part of history.
Pearl Harbor is filmed based on the storyline of the Japanese’s attack on Pearl Harbour during Christmas’s Eve. This was also the reason which got the United States of America involved in the Pacific and European war. “Pear Harbour” is also a movie on romance as it shows two army pilots and their love interests.
The war film shows two best friends, Rafe and Danny, the protagonists of the film, who are also very talented pilots in the United States air force. Both Rafe and Danny’s friendship started since their childhood days, growing up on a farm, and having the same dream of becoming pilots. Halfway through the show, Rafe volunteers to go to England and fight with the British Royal Air Force against the Nazis, while Danny remains in America, without combat.
Apart from being a war film, it is also a movie on the complicated romance between Rafe, Danny and Evelyn, a nurse Rafe met while going for his fitness test. Rafe fell for Evelyn when he saw her and tricked the young lady into coming for a date. When Danny got word of Rafe being shot in combat and presumed dead, he and Evelyn turned to each other for comfort and fell in love with each other. However, to Danny and Evelyn’s misfortune, Rafe survived. What happened after that? I am not telling, as it would spoil the suspense, so watch the movie to find out.
There are many interesting dog fights throughout the show which was what captivated my attention during the movie. The battle of Pearl Harbor itself caused me to sit on the couch with my eyes glued to the television and my mouth slightly ajar. The visuals are very beautiful and seemed almost real. Itis certainly one of the finest bombing scenes I have watched so far.
The thrilling and exciting show consists of many stunning military manoeuvrings and the attack on Pearl Harbor, and romance. However, I feel that the flaw in “Pearl Harbour” is that it showed too much on the love story and it should have filmed more the dog fights and training sessions the pilots of the United States air force undergo and how Rafe miraculously survived despite being in his plane when it got shot down by the Nazis. This film brings the world war and the men and women who lived through it or died fighting it, back to the people watching it, who may not recall much about or do not even know that such a battle was even fought before. I feel that this movie should be recommended to students our age as we are also studying the second world war history.
