War is just a chess game, everyone is a pawn

I thought it was an educational film with the main theme of war in the United States. After watching it, I felt that it was sufficiently objective. The film does not describe personal emotions too much, nor is it interspersed with a love triangle like "Pearl Harbor". The whole process of the war is expanded as far as possible, allowing the audience to stand in the perspective of God and see how humans are "played like chess pieces". People "control to fight. The war scenes are very realistic and restrained, and there is almost no scene of flesh and blood when the body is attacked by artillery fire, but the appearance and battle scenes of various aircraft, battleships, and submarines are very realistic, and military fans should like it very much. It is rare that the story of a war movie can be done without obvious bias. Although the film was made by the Americans, the description of the Japanese officers and soldiers of the enemy did not wear colored glasses, and even made Yamamoto Fifty-Six look particularly aura and charming, and one ship was hit near the end. In order to prevent the aircraft carrier from being used by the US military to self-destruct, the description of the captain and deputy captain's voluntary sinking with the ship not only did not deliberately vilify, but revealed a faint sense of awe. The neutrality expressed in the film makes the audience more aware of the sadness that war is useless and everyone is a chess piece. As a film about the history of war, this film is worth watching.

    This one really invites some of the most handsome familiar faces, and the full-screen hormonal lineup alone is worth watching. It is a sea battle, the big scene can stand, the plot is compact and there are no unnecessary emotional scenes, even if the family hates the country, it does not vilify the enemy, and there are strategies for fighting wits and bravery. After watching "Dunkirk" and "Hacksaw Ridge", I became interested in war movies, and I learned to look at historical issues from different angles and in different forms. How can war and human nature be understood in one piece of paper.

    Although it is old-fashioned, but seeing the Arizona that hasn't sunk, I couldn't help but burst into tears. Praise the soundtrack!
