Battle of Midway

The attack on Pearl Harbor, the Doolittle Raid, the Battle of the Coral Sea and the Battle of Midway, a film that fluently recounts several very important key battles in the history of the Pacific War. This film does not have too many emotional scenes, nor does it have too much American-style personal heroism. Not only the American side, the Japanese side, but also the Chinese side, the content of the film is a figurative and abstract expression of the cruelty of war and the destruction of human nature. It also emphasizes the importance of information intelligence and key leaders' decision-making in war, and for civilians or military and civilians, they all exist in a series of chain reactions after the order. All of us are a drop in the ocean under the torrent of history, and we are all ups and downs on the background wall. Some heroes just fill in a heavy stroke. There are many characters, and there is no absolute protagonist that fits this theme. This film is a very good film for military fans or friends who are interested in the history of war. The scene scheduling of the whole film did not use an absolutely large amount of money to do CG special effects, nor did it use real ships to fake bugs. , the historical restoration of several battles is still very real and exciting.

    The Americans' "if they are far away must be punishable." The disadvantage lies in the fact that the storyline is stretched too long, it is said to be "Midway Island", in fact, the Pacific War is almost finished, and trying to portray as many characters as possible, so that the narrative seems out of focus, plus a lot of war scenes The dilution is even more lax. However, we also have to admit that the director Roland Emmerich is an experienced "Mr. Big Scene". The scheduling and editing of the war scenes in the film are very good. They are all available, including extreme details such as diving bombs. , There is also a battle of fighter groups in the sky. Or because the old version of 1976 was controlled by the level of the film industry at the time, so that the war scenes in this film are as many as deliberately show off, whether it is the sorrowful Pearl Harbor at the beginning or the raging and tragic Midway Island at the end, whether it is imposing. The amazing aircraft carrier is still a fleet of fighter jets that shuttle at high speed. Some people may see aesthetic fatigue, but I believe that more audiences are still happy to enjoy this passionate and hardcore scene. Generally speaking, the scene is OK, the story is average, and it's enough to watch popcorn.

    The Battle of Midway was one of the few battles of World War II that qualifies as the "Battle of Destiny." Both sides tried their best, regardless of sacrifice, steel, courage and luck converged into the final decisive battle of fate. The U.S. Naval Air Force's dive bombers bombing the Japanese aircraft carrier one after another is the best war scene I haven't seen on the screen in a long time. It may be steel and technology that determine the outcome of a battle, courage and luck are the factors that determine the victory of a battle, and faith and strength determine the outcome of a war. In the Battle of Midway, all steel and courage are just notes of faith, luck is only the inevitable result of those sacrifices, and luck is always on the side of strength.
