Judging from the description of the war scenes in the movie, it seems that there are more pictures depicting the casualties of the US military. The first bomber squadrons attacked without the cover of fighter jets and all sacrificed, and the enemy suffered no losses. Tomoeijo's attack on Midway Island. Also, US bombers were successively killed by the Japanese. The US aircraft carrier caught fire and the "York City" was hit by two torpedoes. In general, what is shown on the screen is that the U.S. military has suffered greater damage to personnel and fighters. After Baidu, I learned that the US military had far fewer casualties and losses of fighters than the Japanese military. Perhaps this was because the film was made by the Americans.
Japan is indeed a country worth learning, but with so many aircraft carriers in such a small place, its industrial manufacturing capabilities should not be underestimated.
In addition, the love story between Matt Shagar’s son and a Japanese woman is included in the movie to show that war cannot hinder love? However, in the end the young man was carried ashore, and the Japanese woman just looked there and explained something. War keeps love away?

Midway quotes

  • RAdm. Raymond A. Spruance: If it's Midway, I'll *bushwhack* 'em!

  • [Nimitz has received the first reports on the Battle at Midway]

    Admiral Nimitz: Did you confirm it?

    Lt. Jack Reid: Yes, sir. Admiral Fletcher's reply just came in. "Fletcher to Nimitz. Confirm previous report. Three enemy carriers afire".

    Admiral Nimitz: Hallelujah.

    Lt. Comm. Rochefort: Three of their first-line carriers, Admiral. Isn't that worth at least a "hot diggity damn"?

    Admiral Nimitz: I'll take it under advisement, Joe, but there's still that fourth enemy carrier to deal with.

    Lt. Jack Reid: There's also a message fron Captain Buckmaster, sir. The Yorktown's been hit.

    Admiral Nimitz: Badly?

    Lt. Jack Reid: Yes, sir, but she is underway again... operational.

    Lt. Comm. Rochefort: My gosh, our whole force may be in jeopardy if the Japanese located the Yorktown. They still got a tremendous fleet out there, Admiral.

    Admiral Nimitz: But that fourth carrier can't be far off.

    Lt. Comm. Rochefort: We've already won a great victory, Admiral. Maybe we oughta get our people out of there.

    Admiral Nimitz: You mean... break off, run for home?

    Lt. Comm. Rochefort: Before they can hurt us again. Yes, sir.

    Admiral Nimitz: Well, that might be the smart play, Commander. Trouble is, I *want* that fourth carrier.
