The Battle of Midway - A Realistic War Movie

When it was released before, I watched it in a fog. This time I watched it at station B with a few buddies who like military affairs. While watching, I was popularized by science: This thing is true, and the details are also true. The funny point is that Really, that speechless thing is also true... Say what the character himself wrote in his memoirs later.

Not only many big events and characters, but also many small details are real. It seems that the screenwriter of this play is quite worry-free, and only needs to extract appropriate parts from historical events and integrate them. Of course, integration is also very important. This is a more reasonable one. The background before Midway is explained clearly, and the attack on Pearl Harbor was also filmed. Several fronts for the development of the latter crossed.

I'm not particularly good at the military, but seeing my buddies are very satisfied, it seems that the details of the military are still in place. I was a little confused at the beginning, some professional vocabulary was a little unfamiliar, and I probably understood it after reading the second half. It can be said that this film has done both inside and outside. Although I don't know the advantages and disadvantages of various offensive strategies, the diving attack is really cool. It should be difficult to shoot.

It seems that there are always many seemingly dramatic details in real wars that determine the outcome of the battle. For example, the lost team relied on Japan's own destroyer to lead the way to their mothership; for example, the fighter who did not know whether it was a suicide attack brushed the aircraft carrier and affected the judgment of the Japanese generals... Many coincidences are probably any screenwriter. Can't make it up. War movies can say generously, look, this is the truth.

It is also in line with the facts. As a commercial film, it can make the audience watch it with relish. How to coordinate and integrate various elements and tell this war story well does require a strong ability. There are also many important battles in China's anti-Japanese battlefield. I look forward to being able to shoot realistically and watchable in the future~

By the way, last but not least, the main investors are all Chinese companies. Can't you suggest that the film crew find a few real Chinese groups to act as Chinese in the Quzhou episode? At first glance, they are pretending to be from Southeast Asia. Postal people don't look like this...

    Re-tell those things you already know and nothing to remember. Although the war popcorn film with a burnt flavor of history will become weighty because of the appearance of the hero list, the word "true" seems to be printed, however, I still think that "Battle of Midway" is a war scum film. Especially if you think about it carefully, these places just happen to cut corners and do not need to spend any budget. The title is "Decisive Battle of Midway", in fact, it almost tells the story of the Pacific War, let Yamamoto fifty-six memorize some historical lines, or after a period of time, come to the PPT screen of the last round of war textbooks. The cheap CG images make the iron plane crumble like a plastic sheet (the only impressive impact in the whole film is the dive bombing of the fireworks many times). In order to show that the soldier's will was shaken, he gave the same lecture twice, almost like a cutscene where you would guess the next line, balala. The whole film does not see any necessary and emotional foreshadowing of the story of the decisive battle at Midway. As for character creation, don't think about shaping such a thing.

    Fans of military history will be delighted. Since selling the copy of "Pearl Harbor", the world's bitter war film has been in love for a long time, and this film can almost be said to have set things right.
