Watched “Pearl Harbor” in the theater, which was awful, then was told by a friend how to watch it:
Buy your ticket to Pearl Harbor, buy your popcorn, and sit in the lobby for an hour. When the Japanese planes reach Hawaii, go into the theater & watch a decent WWII film (try to ignore Ben Affleck). Then run - don’t walk, RUN - when Alec Baldwin appears on the screen.
I tried it - it actually works. But hard to watch - my uncle is still aboard USS Arizona to this day - he was an MM1C. Died long before my time, but I think about him whenever I see a WWII film or monument.
I have little hope for “Midway”, but we’ll see.
