“The film ‘Midway’ starring Charlton Heston is a must-see.”

Two things about that film bug the heck out of me. First — the love story. Come on, does any man like that crap in a war movie? Ugh.

Second — the stock footage of the aircraft show Hellcats, Avengers, Helldivers — all of those were not in use in June 1942.

I always loved reading about what was done by the heroes of Midway, ever since I was a little kid. Those sailors and aviators were brave men and we all owe them.

The ladies' money is just as green, and the producers will alway try to pull anyone they can into the movie. Deal with it.

Third - the battle scenes use stock overhead shots of 1950s-era angle-decked American carriers, which are supposed to be the straight-decked Japanese carriers. Technically, the picture is a complete mess.

A modern remake of "Midway" would be nice - if it could ever be done without re-inserting your first objection. ;)
