Judging from the description of the war scenes in the movie, it seems that there are more pictures depicting the casualties of the US military. The first bomber squadrons attacked without the cover of fighter jets and all sacrificed, and the enemy suffered no losses. Tomoeijo's attack on Midway Island. Also, US bombers were successively killed by the Japanese. The US aircraft carrier caught fire and the "York City" was hit by two torpedoes. In general, what is shown on the screen is that the U.S. military has suffered greater damage to personnel and fighters. After Baidu, I learned that the US military had far fewer casualties and losses of fighters than the Japanese military. Perhaps this was because the film was made by the Americans.
Japan is indeed a country worth learning, but with so many aircraft carriers in such a small place, its industrial manufacturing capabilities should not be underestimated.
In addition, the love story between Matt Shagar’s son and a Japanese woman is included in the movie to show that war cannot hinder love? However, in the end the young man was carried ashore, and the Japanese woman just looked there and explained something. War keeps love away?

Midway quotes

  • Vice Adm. Chuichi Nagumo: [commenting on the American torpedo bombers] They sacrifice themselves like samurai, these Americans.

  • Ensign George Gay: Red Fox Leader from Kit 3. Red Fox Leader from Kit 3. Skipper? Either my compass is all fouled up or we're not headed two-four-zero.

    Lieutenant Commander John Waldron: There's nothing out there but empty ocean. I know where the Japs'll be, Mister Gay.

    Ensign George Gay: Think you might let us in on it, sir?

    Lieutenant Commander John Waldron: I figure they moved since we launched. East, heading out, away from Midway. OUT!

    Ensign George Gay: Roger.

    Huntington: What good's our orders if the skipper's gonna lead us off on his own? I don't like it, sir.

    Ensign George Gay: Huntington, now you take it easy, y'hear? If anybody can find the Zekes, Waldron can. He's part Sioux Indian, for Christ's sake.
