Can you say amazing?

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2001)

Danny and Raif have been friends since childhood and now they're in the Army as two of the best pilots in the squadron. You quickly been drawn into their friendship. This is the kind of friendship that lasts your whole life -- a friend that is more than a friend but a sibling of the heart. Soon after you meet them as adults you learn the Raif has volunteered to fight for the British in WWII since the US has not yet entered the War and he's been accepted. Then you meet Raif's true love Evelyn. They have what you think is that meant to be kind of love. Very sweet, romantic and then he breaks the news that he's going to war. Danny is angry that Raif is going but not angry enough to end a friendship and Evelyn is of course upset that he is leaving as well, but he goes anyway. Before he leaves he tells Danny if anything happens to me you have to be the one to break the news to Evelyn. Well as if a sense of foreboding Raif's plane crashes and all believe that he is dead. Sharing a common grief together Danny and Evelyn fall in love. Then Raif comes back, turns out he managed to survive the wreck. But this is months later. Raif obviously feels betrayed and you under go the awful feeling of betrayal, a forever kind of friendship in danger and a woman stuck in the middle in love with both men. To top this all off there is a surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor. This movie has some excellent action scenes, the actors and actresses put in a stellar performance showing us pain in the rawest form. Danny and Raif show the kind of bravery from which medals are earned. Throughout this movie you will experience love, conflict, War and loss. While it does bear some resemblance to Titanic because it re-enacts an epic in history and includes the element of love, this is not Titanic. This movie is like Titanic meets Saving Private Ryan, but much, much more. It is an amazing movie. A definite must see. I can't tell you how it ends though because then why would you want to see the movie? It's worth the ticket and the time!
