It is still difficult to get rid of the temperament of conscription advertisements

6 points, the viewing process is not pleasant.

The first reason is that I was watching Woody Harrelson, not the director and the war. I lacked relevant historical and military knowledge, and it was a little difficult to watch. The various ships and planes were not very clear. I understand their strategic position, so I didn't quite understand the strategic motives of the characters when I watched it. What happened to that submarine? Endless? I feel that when the director was shooting, he assumed that the audience already knew a lot of background knowledge to shoot.

The second plot was too procrastinated, and after seeing it, I even had a feeling of "it's not over yet". Although it was called Midway, it actually started from Pearl Harbor, which made me a little confused, and the main characters kept changing. It’s hard to focus on changing it. I feel that this is because these characters are all important figures in history, so they were imprisoned by real historical events during the adaptation. personal viewing experience.

Third, the American pilots have a Star Wars-style personal heroism, while the Japanese pilots are all anonymous NPC characters. Therefore, although Yamamoto has added a lot of roles, it has always given people a feeling of being scratched, because the United States has The protagonist of the side is actually a pilot rather than a general (my Woody Harrelson, basic soy sauce), but the Japanese pilot is absent in the play, the overwhelming Japanese fleet is anonymous, and the heroic American pilot is in the show. In the case of driving a bad plane, there are often scenes of one enemy and two, which makes the whole film full of "conscription advertisement" temperament. By the way, the portrayal of the Chinese military and civilians is more superficial, although for the sake of having to follow the historical reasons. The story line serving Doolittle appeared, but this depiction can be said to be full of loopholes.

Overall, it is not recommended to watch.
