关于珍珠港电影英文观后感(12)
观后感2018-06-23李一老师
Instead of From Here to Eternity's clever dialogues and personal plot
twists and romantic moments dripping alternately with irony and genuine warmth,
Pearl Harbor wastes its first hour and a half of screen time setting up a
sophomoric love triangle that could have been ripped straight from daytime
television soap operas and trash talk shows.The triangle involves two generically glamorous flyboys, played by Ben
Affleck and Josh Hartnett, who have been friends since childhood. Even their
names, Rafe McCawley and Danny Walker, are mundane. Rafe (Affleck) falls in love
with a nurse who Psides over his physical named Evelyn (played by Kate
Beckinsale), who is also generically glamorous. Rafe and Evelyn spend the next
hour or so exchanging pallid lines of dialogue that try too hard to hammer into
the audience that, yes, they are in love. Sort of like Shakespeare or Petrarch
without any brains and about four centuries too late. In any case, Rafe goes to
Britain to fly for the Royal Air Force, where he faces serious butt-kissing from
the Brits in a disgustingly patronizing depiction of both British and Americans,
and gets shot down over London. But (who didn't see this coming) he lives.
