I saw Pearl Harbor in the theater about 9 or 10 times. In the US that's not a cheap deal! It almost got to be a joke for me. I was hooked on Josh.
No matter how many times I saw it, though, I cried every time I saw Danny die. Josh was brilliant in that scene and it is gut-wrenchingly sad. After seeing the movie 5 or 6 times, though, it was no longer Danny dying, but Josh---then I really boo-hooed. [img]graemlins/sniff.gif[/img]
If I had to change anything in the movie, it would be that Rafe would have died instead of Danny. But, then again, it probably would not have had the same impact if that had happened. Nobody wanted sweet Danny to die. Unfortunately, Danny was the tragic hero in the love triangle.
My second favorite charactor was Evelyn. Kate Beckinsale gave a great performance. I think she and Josh had more chemistry together than she and Ben Affleck. |
