3+. The dive view explodes! At least in the climax of the big paragraph, I shut the fk up on both sides of the chat and the candied haws. The knowledge points are quite complete, but the reason why the Japanese army made a mistake in Midway was so critical and sounded very nonsensical was not explained clearly, and the cut was a bit messy, sorry.

This movie should be a good science film about Midway. Although the main point of view is from the United States, it did not demean the other party in the slightest. Even the last two officers slowly sinking with the aircraft carrier made people think cruelly about war. The action scenes are very exciting, and the people watching the dive bomber are always sweating. Countless ordinary people after each battle are the fundamental meaning of anti-war.
