Yixianjun was blown up in theaters so cool as to fly~~ The last Hollywood war film released in China on
was the 2016 "Blood War Hacksaw Ridge", but that film excavated a little-known episode of World War II The heroic secrets of the empire focuses on one person, and this "Decisive Battle of Midway" can be said to restore this famous battle in the history of World War II-the battle of Midway in a panoramic manner, which is quite epic.
, like this kind of large-scale war film, is now being shot less and less in Hollywood. First, it is difficult and very expensive, and second, it is not like the current Marvel DC that can endlessly shoot sequels. The director of this film, Roland Emmerich, has been involved in shooting the battle of Midway Island for many years, and this time it finally came out.
Roland Emmerich has a nickname called "Hollywood Demolition Households". In his masterpieces of disaster films "The Day After Acquired", "2012", "Independence Day" and other films, philately has exploded various landmarks around the world. But before it was just an imaginary picture, and this time in "The Battle of Midway", the explosion did happen in history.
From the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 to the naval battle on Midway Island in June 1942, the movie covered all the naval battles that took place in the Pacific during these six months. Even the Coral Sea battle and the air raid on Tokyo did not fall.
War panorama and partial close-ups are taken into account. The thrilling and shocking war scenes such as the assembly of warships, the bombing of the aircraft fleet, the air pursuit between aircrafts, and the launch of torpedoes by submarines are all one by one. What you want is excitement. So military fans and history fans will definitely be very satisfied when watching "The Battle of Midway".
War films have extremely high narrative requirements, because such films not only involve relevant historical and geographical backgrounds, but the clues and characters are often quite complicated, but this time the "Decisive Battle Midway" dealt with very well, and the pre-war preparations for the participating parties The course of the war and the changes in the war situation are all clearly displayed, and several clues from the United States and Japan are also unfolded in an orderly manner.
In terms of literature and drama, the film focuses on the US military’s intelligence warfare. The victory of the US military in the naval battle on Midway Island is considered to be the most important thing for the "intelligence victory", because before the war, the US military had obtained the Japanese military's overall combat plan through deciphering intelligence.
At that time, the Japanese made the illusion that they were going to attack an island north of Midway. In fact, the real goal was to destroy the US Pacific fleet by capturing Midway and seize control of the Pacific Ocean. After the U.S. Army saw through this goal, it concentrated all its naval forces and laid ambush on Midway Island in advance to prepare.
Soldiers are not tired of fraud. The movie even restores a small detail of the US military spying on the Japanese military at the time: At that time, the US intelligence team was not sure whether the Japanese army was going to attack Midway Island, so the people in Midway Island sent a fake telegram, falsely claiming that the island was Shanghai. There is a problem with the desalination equipment and there is no fresh water. As a result, it didn't take long for the intelligence team to intercept a telegram from the Japanese army stating that our target AF (code name) had a shortage of fresh water resources and that we had to prepare enough fresh water during the operation. This confirms that AF is Midway Island. In terms of martial arts, the film intensively demonstrated the heroic feats of American pilots in dive bombing.
did not have radar and guidance systems at the time, so the accuracy of bomb-throwing was a bit poor. In many cases, it relied on contingency. Therefore, US pilots used dive bombing to fly as close as possible to warships on the ground to increase the hit rate. However, if the flying altitude is too low, it is extremely likely to face the danger of not being able to successfully pull the aircraft up later. Therefore, these pilots are fateful. The movie
used a lot of subjective shots of pilots to show the gorgeous technology of dive bombing. The impression was very exciting. I watched them rushing down many times and I felt my heart. I screamed. I was relieved until the go-around succeeded.
War scenes are certainly the focus of this movie, but in terms of character creation, the movie did not lose sight of one another. Although the film is dominated by group dramas, with a large number of characters on stage, the few characters that are emphasized are still simple and vivid, which is impressive. And these people are not fabricated out of thin air. They have a name in history. The key is that the protagonist looks a lot like the prototype (the end credit eggs are shown), which is quite intentional. For example, Dick Bay, one of the American pilots who hit the most Japanese aircraft and warships in this battleAt the beginning, I felt like a strong general. Relying on his good flying skills, he was particularly fatal and arrogant. He played the most exciting operation every time he flew, and scared the little pilot with his partner to death. . The movie uses the detail of chewing gum every time it takes off to emphasize his unruly character.
After a movie, Dick is still growing up. There is a plot in the film. Dick’s wife asked his leader why he didn’t get his husband promoted. The leader said that he was just a pilot with strong business ability, but his leadership was too weak because other pilots felt that they would follow him. Back, so no one listened to him.
Later, because one of his cowardly pilots accidentally fell into the sea, coupled with more and more casualties in the battle, Dick began to realize a sense of responsibility, and his actions gradually became sensible, instead of just being stubborn. Great achievements. The character I admire most in the
film is Bruno. He was originally just a mechanical soldier on a US aircraft carrier, but he was brave and intent. First, on the deck, he stopped a bomb accidentally dropped when the plane landed with bare hands. Then, when a Japanese plane launched a suicide attack, it rushed out and shot down the plane. (There is a story behind him, so I won’t spoil it first)
