A Story of Love and Friendship During War

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2006)

A lot of comments on this movie complain about historical accuracy... this is a MOVIE not the history channel. If you want to know what really happened at Pearl Harbor and after, there are many good books and documentaries available! This is historical fiction... a beautiful story of close friends, young love, and our men and women in the military around a time when America got involved in the war. There are a lot of fine actors, a beautiful musical score, aerial combat scenes, and some very realistic scenes of that "horrible" day in history (they talked with many veterans that were there during the actual attack and tried to depict some of these stories).
But it is a MOVIE... it is a movie that tugs at your heart; it will make you laugh, smile, cry, and maybe even get you reading about that day in history. So, if you want to see a movie about friendship, love, and heroism around the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, then make some popcorn and watch a good old fashioned movie.
