Evelyn: Rafe I'm pregnant... I didn't even know until the day you turned up alive... and then all this happened... I haven't told Danny... I don't want him to know. All he needs to think about is how to do this mission and get back alive. Oh Rafe, all I ever wanted was for us to have a home and grow old together, but life never asked me what I wanted. Now I'm going to give Danny my whole heart... but I don't think I'll ever look at another sunset without thinking of you... I'll love you my whole life.

A Wonderful Film

I just came home after watching Pearl Harbor. The movie was great. The hour long scene of the bombing at Pearl Harbor was wonderful and was shot greatly. The directing of the film was excellent. Ben Affleck did a wonderful job in his role. Michael Bay also did a wonderful job.

Almost everything was great. The only bad thing in the movie was that the Love Story was a bit too dragged. The first half of the film was basically about the love story. But the 60 minute bombing scene that came after that covered that small negative up.

Most of the story was based on a true events that occurred during the war. This film is wonderful. I cant wait till it comes out on video. Go see it, u will not regret it.

Even with that small little negative I give it 10 out 10.
