This is better than Dunkirk!
I sure hope this movie is good.
Overall, a great movie. And it has a story unlike that wretched Dunkirk.
Better than Dunkirk, I hope.
shareDunkirk was awesome. I doubt this will be as good as Dunkirk, or the 1976 Midway movie.
shareYou were right! Everyone should save their money and donate it to a military charity. I was appalled at the dedication to the Japanese military which was part of the ending credits.
“This film is dedicated to the Americans and Japanese who fought at Midway.”
Haters gonna hate, eh?
shareIgnorance is bliss, eh? And it’s coming through loud & clear. One doesn’t have to hate to be appalled over dedicating a film to a war enemy at the time of the event. You may wish to read the link I posted followed by this one:

Mrmojo4700 made reference to the massacre at Nanjing
Dude, war knows only losing sides. There were atrocities from all participants. Don't forget the Unit 731 cover up by the US.
It's a sign of maturity when you can see that your enemies' pain is similar to yours. It is during war that we dehumanize our opponents, it is during peace that we understand that they are us.
First of all I’m not a Dude. Secondly if you know any vet who served in the Pacific Theater during World War ll talk to him before he dies. My deceased dad served in the Pacific Theater and I know how he was affected. Same with my uncles.
“It's a sign of maturity when you can see that your enemies' pain is similar to yours.”
OMG, that’s a bunch of pollyanna hogwash! How dare you compare the atrocities committed by the Japanese to a “cover up” by the US. Unit 731 was perpetrated by the Japanese...not the US! The Japanese bombed the US and we’re supposed to show maturity by feeling their pain! 🤬 They wouldn’t have had that “pain” if they hadn’t bombed Pearl Harbor!
I hope no one ever has to depend on you to defend him/her. You more than likely would say “I feel your pain. It’s similar to mine.” In the mean while you’re being beat to death, shot or tortured. BTW, that enemy we were at war with deserved to be dehumanized...they weren’t human! The Japanese enemy at that time were not us by any means!
“It's a sign of maturity when you can see that your enemies' pain is similar to yours.” Yeah, go ahead and tell that inane line to the victims of the NAZIS! As they are being forced into cattle cars and gas chambers I can almost hear them telling the NAZIS...”I feel your pain. It’s similar to ours.” 😭
Acknowledgment of the war's effect on your kin's psyche is a start. We agree that peace is the absence of violence.
Have a nice day, dude.
Again, I’m not a dude...maybe a dudette? 😉
“peace is the absence of violence.” Since time immemorial it’s never going to happen. 😢 Greed, lust, power, testosterone make it not.🤷🏼♀️
I’m watching a movie now “The Great Raid” about our army rangers attempting to rescue survivors of The Bataan Death March. You should watch it as it shows more of the atrocities by the inhumane Japanese army in the Philippines. You must not compare us to the Japanese during WW ll. The NAZIS treated our military better!
shareI thoroughly preferred Midway. Dunkirk was based on a wonderful story that the movie just could not capture. I felt it was so muddled.
