First of all, the soundtrack Tennessee at the beginning gave me a strong sense of familiarity, and the picture is the pinnacle of aesthetics. From Hawaii before the sneak attack to the USS Arizona that sank to the bottom of the sea after the bombing, both the plot and the shots are full of exquisiteness. Some people say that this is a love movie. Pure love movies are too boring, and love is sublimated when it is mixed with war. It is not war to sublimate love, but human nature to highlight love. The friendship between Danny and Rafe, and the love with the heroine are very deep. I still feel that this film is relatively objective. From any angle of the war side, there is a certain part that stirs people's hearts, and it does not promote a certain nationalism. Great movie, worth rewatching!

Pearl Harbor quotes

  • Rafe: Earl, I said get some guns in that goddamn tower

    Earl: Right, guns in the tower, ten stories high. It's a long son-of-a-bitch

  • Admiral Chester W. Nimitz: So, sir, you would have us mobilize the entire fleet, at the cost of millions of dollars, based on this 'spine-tingling' feeling of yours?

    Captain Thurman: No, sir. I understand my job is to gather and interpret material. Making difficult decisions based on incomplete information from my limited decoding ability is your job, sir.
