Summary from imdb.com (in case you have no idea what the movie is about)
The classic story of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor is told through the eyes of two boyhood friends, now serving as officers in the Army Air Corps. Rafe is an energetic young pilot who is selected to fly with the British in Europe while America is still not at war. After Rafe is shot down and presumed killed, however, Danny comforts Rafe's former lover, Evelyn, and the two draw closer. But, when Rafe turns up alive, the two former friends become enemies, and it is through the turmoil of Pearl Harbor that the two may reconcile their differences.
I really can't see why these people fell in love. I only remember the heroine said "the guy's butt is cute." and the hero said, "you're so beautiful."... I agree looks are an important part of the attraction, however, for a 3 hour movie with not much plot, frankly, I think I expect more than that... You don't spend the rest of your life with someone because their butts or looks... Am I getting really old to think like this??
As for the plot, the movie felt like a 2-hour one being stretched into 3 hours, unless we can get to know more about the characters (which we don't), then it may be ok... Luckily I was doing MCQs while watching it last night... =P
So you may ask, anything good about the movie??? well... Ben Affleck looks really gorgeous in the military uniform... HAHA!!

i didn't watch it last night, but many yrs ago. what is the ending? i forgot.. =p
Well, I don't think it's the matter of "becoming old". I agree that attractions start from appearance, but not end there. The most attractive part of anybody is their character, their heart etc. But the so-call "love" in the modern time is so...... sigh!
Michelle, (spoiler alert) The other guy died while protecting Ben Affleck, and the girl is pregnant with the other guy's son, and so in the end Ben Affleck ended up back with the girl + his best friend's son.
(The middle part is quite messy with the girl sleeping with Affleck's friend, and then he turned up "undead"...)
Fiona, that means we're not modern...?? I think even in "modern" movies/books, love can be portrayed deeper than that, but this movie is really superficial...
