A panoramic naval battle movie that is ten times better than "Pearl Harbor"

Summary

Ten times better than "Pearl Harbor", no one is deliberately sensational like "Pearl Harbor", and there is no ridiculous plot like one-handed dismantling a Gundam. Is there personal heroism? Yes, but this is also the personal heroism under the coordination of the system. After leaving the system, the individual is so powerful, the eggs are not used.

The most suitable audience for this film is beginner to intermediate military fans. If Nimitz, Halsey, Doolittle, Yamamoto Wusixiu, Nanyun Tadao, Yamaguchi are unfamiliar to you, I suggest you make up for the history before going to the movie, because the director defaults You can recognize these people at a glance. (In fact, it would be better to add subtitles like Conan when it first appeared.) If you can instantly report the names of IJN ships without turning over the ship album, you may see many flaws. After all, Tadano Asano's respect is not the navy's courtesy. (You can see how IJN should salute in "Ah, Navy")

Pros and cons

Advantages: panoramic display, hangar operations, deck operations, submarine operations, war chess deduction, intelligence operations, all have close-ups, and the details are still in place. Especially the three long shots of dive bombing are unique in the entire film history.

Disadvantages: Time flies too fast, and the entire process from Pearl Harbor to Midway Island is squeezed into two hours. It is inevitable that one will miss ten thousand, and the transition is too sudden in some places. It would be even more enjoyable if the budget is sufficient to shoot a series or even a trilogy.

plot

This film is from the perspective of Naval Cross Medal winner C. Wade McClusky and Lucky E's Enterprise, so things with Enterprise are detailed, such as Pearl Harbor, such as the Dolittle air raid on Tokyo, and the lesser-known Marshall raid. And the ones without Enterprise have been taken, such as the Coral Sea Battle and the entire TF17 Yorktown. Poor Fletcher didn't even have a chance to show his face.

Due to Chinese investment, Chinese soldiers and civilians have played a lot in rescuing Du Lite, and it has little to do with the main line.

The plot of the Nautilus submarine is also a bit obtrusive, but if it weren't for the Nautilus to attract the destroyer Arashi, the protagonist would not find the Japanese aircraft carrier through the destroyer, which is actually not optional.

The commander personally thinks that Dennis Quaid’s Bull Halsey is the best performer, and the Japanese army is Tadanobu Asano’s Yamaguchi. Nanyun seems a bit mentally retarded, but in general it is relatively balanced. The final film is also A tribute to the combatants from Japan and the United States. After all, it is the naval battle with the largest scale, the most profound impact and the highest technical and tactical level in human history, well deserved.

As for the pilot, I think the protagonist’s younger brother James Murray played well. After the protagonist group returned from the bombing of Kaga, Sipuluensi asked them to fight the Canglong again, but the younger brother said that I didn't want to go anymore. I also have the Navy Medal. I will definitely be a beautiful woman when I go back. I will die again. Nima, I don’t want to go. As a result, the protagonist did work and said that we were eating this meal, knowing that it was a death or something. What about liberalism? ?

Off topic

The Chinese investment filmed an American theme, and this time is very interesting. The U.S. Pacific Fleet killed the emerging forces on the west coast of the Pacific Ocean trying to challenge. Did you say that it alludes to reality? Although PLAN has neither Klut Atoll nor Saipan, the geological situation is even worse than IJN back then. But whether it is experience or lessons, this is the only case that can be used for reference. Among the audience watching the movie, how many nirvanas are there on one ship?

Finally, what about the Great Battle in the Pacific? Just watch it in the movie. Let us pray for world peace together! World Peace! ! World Peace! ! !

    This is a typical "blockbuster" filming method. The arrangement of literary, opera and martial arts has been carefully calculated, and even the plot of "hitting the enemy ship" has been designed with ups and downs: raising expectations, but repeatedly missed, the audience's expectations continue to fall Shen, finally hit, the audience's sense of refreshment reached its peak, and it was really arbitrary. After the bloody battle at Hacksaw Ridge, there was finally another super hard-core World War II war film, and after Dunkirk, there was another exciting air battle scene. All the elements of this film are for the service of "blockbuster look and feel", love and friendship are just embellishments, giving way to the incomparably real air vs sea battle (the first perspective is really shocking), giving way to very convincing details ( Even the format of the Japanese military information sheet is strictly verified). The director, Emmerich, specializes in blockbuster movies. He knows the tastes of the audience too well. This movie is like a big plate of Texas-style barbecue, rough, solid, clear, and squeaking in front of you in the heat, which is hard to resist.

    Five stars give it restraint. The envy of the United States is that they do not need to be profound, do not need to reflect, do not need to excavate human nature, they can have no historical burden, no dispute, no legality crisis, and they simply praise the immortality of their heroes! 387?

  • Bruno Gaido: [to his Japanese captors, last line] You know, I had a lot of friends in Pearl Harbour... so how's about you go fuck yourself?
