The Battalion Classifieds Call 845-0569 It has received reviews from lukewarm to scathing. It has been accused of historical in accuracy and cultural bias. And yet, despite all of this, Pearl Harbor snagged the No. 1 box office spot for the Memorial Day weekend. But in some ways, this movie is not what it has been hyped to be. Sold as a love story in the midst of a tragic war, the love story itself is not the most moving storyline. Affleck plays Rafe, the car icature of an American hero, who gladly volunteers to join the army, along with his best friend Danny (Hartnett). When Rafe decides to join in the fighting in Europe as a pi lot in the British Ea^le Squadron, he leaves behind his nurse girlfriend, Evelyn (Beckinsale) swearing h" e r undying love. From there, the lives and loves of these three, young Americans are woven in a countdown to Dec. 7 1941. WTiile this love triangle provides many heart tugging moments, it is hopelessfv cliched. As expected, it takes a backseat once the fighting be gins, but when the thread is picked up again, it is half hearted, at best. The true impact of this movie can be felt in the actual ' bombing of Pearl Harbor, de spite the heavy-handed special effects. Several people in the theater began crying, whether it was from the dying sailors being thrown from their ships, or from the commercialization of the deaths of over 2,400 American sailors, is hard to tell. Fortunately, the soul searing mass destruction is in terrupted by’ Affleck and Hart nett’s heroic entrance in the only two fighter planes left, guns blazing, and shoutint;en couragement like any good red-blooded American. There are some missing el ements to this story, most no tably the patriotism that has colored most war movies to date. There are a few mention: of the virtues of volunteering, but the flag waving is minimi. Meanwhile, the movie man ages to dance around whetherl the Japanese were right or| wrong in their actions. The Japanese admiral even man ages to sound noble in hisrea soning for bombing Pearl Harbor. And finally, while Cuba Gooding Jr. plays onecS the few nonfiction character I in this movie, Texas’ air.I Doris “Doric” Miller, the end 1 ing credits fail to mention thai ! despite his heroics at Pear ] Harbor.
