Just saw the movie Midway - Awesome movie !!
Nov 8, 2019

Imagine, you know someone who doesn’t know anything about WW2, and you had to explain how the US was attacked at Pearl Harbor, the significance of Doolittle’s raid, the odds the US was up against the Japanese, how Intel helped us win the battle of Midway, and just how crazy, non-politically correct, and determined the Greatest Generation was - all in 2 hours.

That’s the movie Midway in a nutshell.

I saw the movie in an AMC Prime theater. The seats are big recliners and the sound system is awesome. My seat did shake with the movie explosions. It was $20 for the ticket and snacks. I think it was totally worth the price.

I am indebted to the Freeper Non Sequitur for recommending the book. As I recall, he gave a short book report and I went to Amazon and bought it.

From the Military Times review:
Finally, the last on-screen wording says, "This film is dedicated to the Americans and Japanese who fought at Midway.”

Liberals just don't understand that evil exists and that there can be people who are dedicated to destroying you. The movie dedication tells me all I need to know.

IMHO, yes. There was no fictional love story plot around this movie - it was about the soldiers and sailors that fought in the battle. Some were just short snippets during the film, but I’ve been told all those things actually happened (I won’t spoil it).

My favorite movie since Saving Private Ryan

"This film is dedicated to the Americans and Japanese who fought at Midway.”

If it was another battle in another century and said, “Dedicated to the Confederate and Union soldiers ...” now that would trigger them.

I wish I had thought of that.

Haven’t seen the new Midway yet, but looking forward to it.

Agreed regarding the classics. I recall watching those epic films on a 13” black & white TV with rabbit ears when I was a kid. Those viewing experiences were no less intense than what’s produced today.

>> Kraut Bass tards got us into WWII when they bombed Pearl Harbor...

Irony far better than the self-hatred Disney and Universal/Comcast are forcing on us.
