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

AUSTIN (AP) — Robert
Springsteen was living a quiet life
in West Virginia in 1999 when
police came calling — again
Living with a wife nearly twice
his age, the high-school dropout
had bounced from job to job as
investigators continued pursuing
one of Texas’ most sensational
unsolved crimes — the slaying of
four teen-age girls at an Austin
yogurt»shop on Dec. 6, 1991.
Police had questioned him be
fore without any break. They
tried again in 1999. This time, he
confessed.
On Wednesday, a jury con
victed Springsteen of killing 13-
year-old Amy Ayers while rob
bing the I Can’t Believe It’s
Yogurt Store.
Springsteen, 26, now faces
life in prison or the death penal
ty when sentencing begins
Thursday.
Two other suspects, Michael
Scott and Maurice Pierce, await
trial.
Ayers, Eliza Hope Thomas,
17, and sisters Jennifer and
Sarah Harbison, 15 and 17, all
were killed at the shop. The
girls were bound, gagged and
shot in the head before the store
was set on fire.
