The sea remembers immortality - "The Battle of Midway"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Battle of Midway".
Title Midway / Battle of the Midway (2019), alias Midway / Battle of Midway / Battle of Midway.
In 2019, there is a film "Decisive Battle of Midway" that military fans are looking forward to, which details the Battle of Midway, the most important turning point in the Pacific War in World War II.
We all know the result of the Battle of Midway, which ended in the victory of the US military. The Japanese navy not only lost the battle, but even the naval commander Yamamoto Gosoku was shot down by the U.S. military while he was on a plane. If the Battle of Midway is a victory for Japan, history is likely to be rewritten like The Man in the High Castle.
"The Battle of Midway" has an excellent viewing effect. It basically presents the important behaviors of both sides in the war in detail. The full-screen special effects allow the audience to return to the scene of the naval battle, and experience the war from both the macro and micro levels.
The film did not contain private goods like other films, but chose to present history in an almost documentary style. Watching this movie is absolutely worth it, this is the legendary "Family Bucket", which can be seen in "Battle of Midway" in "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! "Pearl Harbor", "Air Raid on the Marshall Islands", "Japan's Longest Day", and related movies before and after the battle can be seen in this film.
Midway Island is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, just 2800 nautical miles away from San Francisco in the United States and Yokohama in Japan, in the middle of the Pacific route in Asia and North America, hence the name Midway Island.
The United States occupied Midway in 1867, built a naval base in 1903, and in 1940 the U.S. Navy built an aviation and submarine base, which became the gateway and outpost of the U.S. military in Hawaii.
In recent years, readers should have seen a lot of news about the "magical craftsmanship of nature", and the appearance of small islands on the sea is of extremely important strategic significance. An island located in a strategic location is an unsinkable aircraft carrier, which has important influence on military, economic and geopolitics.
In the Battle of Midway, which the film focuses on, the Japanese Navy lost four aircraft carriers and the U.S. Navy lost one aircraft carrier. The shocking images are blood-pumping and adrenaline rushing.
The huge loss was unexpected by the Japanese army, which marked the failure of Japan's idea of defeating the US Pacific Fleet. After the reversal of the situation in the Pacific Ocean, the whole process of World War II was affected.
When the war starts, gold is ten thousand taels.
War is not only a technical and tactical competition at the combat level, but a deeper level of national strength competition. As big as the atomic bomb of aircraft, tanks and warships, and as small as screws, they are all manifestations of national strength.
After the originally neutral United States declared its participation in the war, industry turned to the military, and a steady stream of supplies was sent to the battlefield, and the terrifying strength was shocking. During World War II, the United States produced a total of 102,000 tanks, 2.3 million road vehicles of various types, more than 300,000 military aircraft of various types, 140 amphibious ships and aircraft carriers, and 500 cruiser destroyers.
It is not that Japan does not know the terrible power of the United States. Yamamoto Fifty-six studied in the United States and has seen the strength of the United States with his own eyes, and has always advocated avoiding war with the United States.
However, with Japan's energy supply problems, 80% of the oil must be supplied by the United States. Japan can't sit still and wants to defeat the United States in one fell swoop to ensure energy.
Everyone knows that Yamamoto fifty-six is a gambler, and his gambling skills are not bad. He once said that if the emperor gave him a year to gamble, he could win back an aircraft carrier for Japan. Seeing that the battle with the United States was inevitable, Yamamoto Fifty-Six wanted to take a big bet. He bet on whether he could penetrate the US Pacific Fleet this time, and whether he could defeat the opponent in an instant like the German Blitzkrieg, and force the US to surrender before the US industrial machine started.
The soldiers on the front line of the battle reflect their technical and tactical level and personal willpower, while the intelligence personnel in charge of logistics have to clear the fog for the front line.
The direct reason for the victory of the Battle of Midway was the brave and fearless soldiers, and the key element was the intelligence and information warfare behind it. Relying on its powerful deciphering capabilities, the U.S. military even cracked the Japanese navy's action plan, and then used the "freshwater machine failure" as a bait to verify the guessed intelligence and further lay the foundation for victory.
Based on the deciphered intelligence, the U.S. military even deduced the Japanese attack position and attack time. The difference between the intelligence and the real situation is actually only 5 minutes, 5 degrees, and 5 nautical miles. The U.S. military is fighting with the Japanese military's battle plan, which makes no sense.
The sea remembers immortality.
In the vortex of war, everyone can only swim hard and stick to the end to become the winner. War is cruel and ruthless against human beings. This is not the fault of the individual. Except for those who start the war, no one can be alone.
Just like this film, an upright decisive battle is one thing, always remember to respect the opponent, and despise the opponent will pay the price of life.
At the end of the film, thanks to the Chinese people who gave blood and tears in the form of Easter eggs, the subtitles read "I would like to dedicate this film to the American and Japanese navies who fought heroically."
In the era of businessmen chasing profit, there are still people who are willing to invest in a real World War II movie. "Battle of Midway" abandons the popcorn element in "Pearl Harbor", it does not need to be able to show you and me, as long as it presents the war history in its original flavor.
The cast of this film is strong, and the actors use their solid acting skills to hold big scenes and make big productions.
But when I see Patrick Wilson, I always feel a little bit of a play. I always feel that he will bring Vera Farmiga to summon the undead army and use supernatural means to attack the Japanese army.
In addition, seeing Brennan Brown Brennan Brown will automatically think of "The Man in the High Castle". In "The Man in the High Castle", Brennan Brown was humiliated and survived. Now that he returns to real history, he will naturally spare no effort to stop the Japanese attack.
turning point in history,
The sea remembers immortality.
