Did anybody else think this film was really similar to Pearl Harbor (2001)?
Both films are about two war pilots who fall in love with the same nurse.
Pearl Harbor was much sadder and much, much longer, but I just thought they were still quite similar stories.
The reason you went so long without answers is because your point is so basic. One of the oldest plots in literature is a love triangle with two men after the same woman. It is often in a military context as with Greek epic "The Trojan War" and the Welsh legend turned English poem, "Le Morte d'Arthur."
The triangle may start the war as in the former cited above, or it may be between allies and lead to a collapse of the alliance, as in the latter. If this is your only way to compare the plot of Thunder Birds and Pearl Harbor, it is pretty weak. I will suggest a way to easily differentiate them. Thunder Birds follow the facts of World War II to the extent necessary to relate them to the love story with explicit exactitude. Pearl Harbor is historic sophistry, with the barest veneer of true events slapped on to a lot of grossly inaccurate dreck in order to have a love story around which to cobble up a distorted presentation of the raid on Pearl Harbor, Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, the Battle of Britain, and the Flying Tigers.
I recommend that you crack a couple of books or at least do a little bit of research on the internet.
