Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.It’s the war message of Franklin Roosevelt to Congress the eighth december, 1941
Indeed, I have decided to talk to you of a film which I liked much : "Pearl Harbor".
This movie was directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay, the screenplay is written by Randall Wallace.
On a sunday morning in December, as children played and families prayed, squadrons of Japanese warplanes screamed in the sky and launched a surprise attack on the U. S. armed forces at Pearl Harbor.
"Pearl Harbor" focuses on the events surrounding December 7, 1941, and the war's devastating impact on two daring young pilots (Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett) and on a beautiful woman who is nurse (Kate Beckinsale).
Rafe Mccawley (Ben Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett) are two characters who grew up like brothers.
They first learnt to fly in the dangerous aviation practice of crop-dusting (crop-dusting allows the desinsectisation of the Fields for example) ; now they are pilots in the U.S. Army Air Corps.
Evelyn Stewart (Kate Beckinsale) is a courageous young woman with whom Rafe falls in love. But Evelyn is not certain of his intentions.As like many nurses, she became hardened and she isn’t easy to allure.
Rafe voluntarily joins Britain's Royal Air Force. Over there, he has had a crash after being touched by offensives german. He has been declared like died, but actually he was always in life. Danny announced the news to Kate, because Rafe had said to him to make that. Danny wanted to protect her, and they were often together. They often spoke about Rafe. But Danny will fall in love with Kate. They will have a love story. But after 3 months, Rafe comes back. It’s the shock for him to see that his best friend made him things in the back.To one evening, they will fight. Finally when the police force arrives, they flee together. The following day, they are awaked by noises of planes. They realize at the end of one moment that pearl harbor is attacked by an air force. They decide in their turn to fight these enemy planes. Rafe and Danny will be the only ones to take off. They will cut down 7 planes. The combat then will end. They will receive the silver star and will be promoted captain. This combat will have made more than 3000 died. Roosevelt thus will require of the congress the war against Japan. Danny and Rafe will be called to go to bombard Tokyo, the capital of Japan. They will accept. They will do it, but they will have a crash because of a lack of fuel. Danny will die while wanting to protect Rafe from japanese. Danny learns before dying that Kate is pregnant of him. They will be saved by the Chinese. Of return to the United States, Kate understands that Danny did not survive. Finally, Rafe and Kate live now together. They raise their son: he is called Danny.
In addition, it should be noted that there is an icon in this film and I find that he has an important place in this film from the point of view of the equality of the human beings. Indeed, Dorie Miller (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is one of the real life characters in this fictional story. He was one of the first African-Americans honoured by the United States government for his valour. In the film he is stationed on the USS West Virginia docked at Ford Island as a seaman third class mess attendant.
It’s a tale of catastrophic defeat, heroic victory, personal courage and overwhelming love set against a stunning backdrop of spectacular wartime action.
Splendid film based on real facts and very well scripted. With explosive special effects, actions to cut the breath and actors excellent! A music made up and directed by Hans Zimmer who sticks very good to the environment of film. It's a film to absolutely seeing!
