Its the best movie I've ever seen!

Rating: 10/10 (4 August 2015)

The thing is, looking through all of these other reviews, I don't understand why this movie has such terrible reviews! Maybe by watching this, they were looking for a hardcore war movie. This really isn't a war movie at all; its a story of love and friendship supported by the time period of World War 2.
I have never seen a better movie, literally. I cried my face off at the end. Watching Josh Hartnett's adorable character die because he was saving his best friend's (Ben Affleck's role) life is just so heartbreaking and emotional and it makes me want to role up into a ball and die on the floor. And then, on top of that, Ben Affleck tells Josh Hartnett that he's going to be a father (throughout the movie, the female lead changes between loving Affleck and Hartnett and gets pregnant with Hartnett's child) and Hartnett replies with "No, you are," as he releases his final breath and that's when you lose it. Then the end comes with Affleck flying in a plane (he's a pilot) with Hartnett's son that they named after him and all of your heartstrings collapse and shrivel up... K, that's enough with the spoilers.
Anyways, the soundtrack for this movie is so pretty.. I had to buy it on Amazon to get the CD copy. The soundtrack reminds you of the devastation of the film; the joy that comes out of an unfortunate event.
The whole second hour of the film is dedicated to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. It's similar to the opening sequence of Saving Private Ryan at Omaha or the sinking of the Titanic in the movie Titanic. If what you're looking for is a war movie, that's as "war" as you're going to get. You'd be better off watching Saving Private Ryan, Braveheart, We Were Soldiers, or The Patriot.
Looking for a tearjerker about love and friendship, watch it now.
