I feel that the biggest problem with the film is that the plot is too scattered and the final battle is insufficient. It should focus on describing how difficult the U.S. Navy was at that time. York City, which needed major repairs, rushed for repairs and joined the battle within 72 hours. If you include the land airport on Midway Island, the Army is a group of rookies, and it is difficult for the Army bombers to move targets on the sea. For effective dive bombing, the US military crammed together to produce four aircraft carriers (including the airport of Midway Island). It can be regarded as a force that can compete with the four aircraft carriers of Nanyun's mobile force. The middle part of the film should focus on explaining these preliminary preparations and Leiden's code-decoding work. And at the end of the decisive battle, the Japanese ace pilot of the Flying Dragon Shangyou Yongjoo City should be photographed for the last time. After the airstrike on the Yorktown, he did not return. In this way, when the protagonist was driving a plane with a stalled engine, at twilight, everyone thought he was not. When I would come back, I staggered and landed on the deck of the Enterprise. This way of laying the groundwork would be a lot more powerful than saying "Many people can't fly back" by a group performer on the flight deck. Finally, the theme is also clear, that is, never give up hope. As long as there is a little hope of winning, you will be able to win in the end. In this way, the US Navy's final victory and the protagonist's miraculous survival also echoed. More importantly, this war was the result of persisting until the final victory. The fact that McCluskey's flying team suddenly appeared over the Japanese fleet was also an inevitable accident. It was the Hornet and Yorktown. The pilots on board and the Army Aviation on Midway Island started ineffective but continuous air strikes from the morning. As a result, the pilots of the Zero Fighter escorted did not even have time to eat lunch, while Nan Yun’s eager mentality was eager for success. A devastating decision was made to exchange torpedoes for bombs and bombs for torpedoes. And McCluskey and the protagonist finally seized the hope laid by the lives of countless US military pilots and won. After all, it should be made into a story waiting for hope in the trough. The protagonist’s mental journey shouldn’t be the one that once disregarded life and finally woke up and cared for life. This is not at all compatible with the special effects scenes shot by the director. The rhythm should be closer to the Pacific Rim like a spinning top, and it feels right. Also, the plot of the film made by the director of Funny Bi on Midway Island can be removed, which is totally unnecessary.
Finally, I’m very happy to receive so many replies when I write a comment for the first time. It may be that my title is a bit heavy and it will cause some disgust. Forgive me, I didn’t know about John Ford before, thank you for correcting me. At that time, I really felt that it had nothing to do with the main plot before I complained. I'm just a general audience to watch a movie. I'm not a senior military fan or expert. I just judge this movie on the question of whether it can attract a general audience. After all, the movie is for the public. I think the perfect criterion is to be able to Restoring most of the historical facts can attract passers-by. Only if you attract more passers-by, will more people be willing to learn about this magnificent Pacific War. In writing novels, Alexandre Dumas also wanted to change the historical arrangement. Kurosawa Akira’s battle of Naga Shino in the shadow warriors didn’t fit much with history. As film literature, after all, there must be primary and secondary, and it’s art. There is necessary artistic processing. I don’t get rebates, and I don’t make money by writing official accounts. I didn’t compare with Green Hat Harbor, which sells copies. I didn’t say that I would add a love scene. In order to become a better person, it is your happiness to see this film as a documentary. I also admit that restoring history is the highlight of this film (except for the 5 Yamato), but you have no right to use your standards. Others, they are not photographed for you alone, don’t come close to me if you don’t understand respect
