Unqualified Midway Film

Compared with the tigers of the same series, it's really too much difference ~ no wonder, after all, Pearl Harbor is the United States lost, and it is reasonable to be evenly matched. The ending of Japan's defeat on Midway Island made the beginning of the movie's battle layout long and boring. It was simply the US military crushing Japan in all aspects. In order not to hurt the feelings of allies, we also forcibly inserted the strange content of the American soldier’s relationship with the Japanese girl and the American colonel’s plea for the Japanese uncle’s family and the Japanese-American identity... The battle process did not have the excitement that a war movie should have. The U.S. military crushed it almost all the way, and the Japanese were confused. For the audience, if they don't understand the aircraft carrier attack procedures, torpedoes and dive bombing, they are basically in the clouds, and it is not easy to make war films into sleeping pills. At the end of the movie, the US military general summed up the victory of Midway Island and said that this may be luck. But the whole movie doesn't show where the role of luck is... it's really strange. Therefore, in general, this movie is a record movie that restores history, but the details are not logically clear. As an entertaining war film, the excitement is not enough to understand it ~ it is a bit of a waste of good themes.
