Movie spent far too much time with events having nothing to do with Midway and consequently had no time for the real battle itself.
@BillBird2111Ай бұрын
@@gildor8866 Although I do agree with a lot of the criticism here, there was (and still is) a lot about this battle to unpack. Red Parks was honored in the first movie about Midway. It's clear that Emmerich did not want to repeat anything shown in the 1970's, so he focused on other heroes that the 1976 version did not focus on. Right or wrong, that's what he did. Even with that focus, there are still a lot of heroes of this one battle who do not get mentioned. If you really want some in-depth stuff, I urge everyone reading this to read the book The Battle of Midway by Craig Symonds. It is really something. Could this movie have been better? Absolutely. Was it still a pretty good flick? Absolutely!

Indeed, it's the joke which never gets tired or overused - the supposition that theatrical presentations captured to film actually happened and wasn't the result of setting up, choreographing, rehearsing, and finally filming each shot - that it was all real as it happened and the camera ops were actually in the midst of epic war action, as opposed to on film sets and locations.

That put me in mind of that scene in "Tora Tora Tora!" (Was it the bombing of Hickam or Wheeler?) Where you can see stunt extras quite literally running for their lives.
I like the brave cameraman trope. It reminds me of Jack black in Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Bro went into beast mode only when he lost all his footage.💀

I urge everyone to watch a documentary on KZbin about the battle. And how truly brave the American pilots were. Heck, even the Japanese were brave. But, the way most of those squadrons just.... died. Doing nothing. But a few determined squadrons, through insane luck, manage to sink the main strike force of the Japanese navy... in a few minutes, really. Within minutes, 3 of the 4 Japanese carriers were burning bow to stern.

No, that's garbage. They believed the Japanese would likely be attacking somewhere but the conventional wisdom was the Philippines - which they did soon after Pearl Harbor. The fact of the matter is no one thought the Japanese had the capability to move such a large strikes force into range of Pearl Harbor, including refueling at sea, without being detected, as well as imagining they could project that kind of striking power at once and so effectively. The whole "they knew about Pearl harbor" is just the same old conspiracy bs and what the US knew and when they knew it, plus what they understood and expected is well documented.
