Most people honour the airmen who fought at Midway, but the real heroes are the cameramen who risked their lives capturing such epic war action footage!
Indeed, it's the joke which never gets tired or overused - the supposition that theatrical presentations captured to film actually happened and wasn't the result of setting up, choreographing, rehearsing, and finally filming each shot - that it was all real as it happened and the camera ops were actually in the midst of epic war action, as opposed to on film sets and locations.
@@popsiclecoder Oh, I see your point - fair enough. You are absolutely right, of course. It's a common, run into the ground "joke" where someone remarks on some incredibly dangerous looking sequence in a film how the "cameraman" is indestructible.
That put me in mind of that scene in "Tora Tora Tora!" (Was it the bombing of Hickam or Wheeler?) Where you can see stunt extras quite literally running for their lives.
I found it absolutely unacceptable that VMF-221 and MAJ. Floyd “Red” Parks were never shown here. Those F2As and F4Fs did their damndest out there to hold the line.
it's a shitty movie by Emmerich (the big shitmaker). Only virtual impression in every scene... Why showing all the story who every know (Pearl harbor, doolittle raid)??? I'm sure one thing: making virtual combat scene is really cheap.
@@viktordtz2080You sure huh?did you ever directed a movie to ever make that statement? Even from quick search on Google,they say for large scale such as movie they need at least 10-50k a day,that mean they need more actor,more assets,more time,they need like at least 5 to 15 million more Budget
@@gildor8866 Although I do agree with a lot of the criticism here, there was (and still is) a lot about this battle to unpack. Red Parks was honored in the first movie about Midway. It's clear that Emmerich did not want to repeat anything shown in the 1970's, so he focused on other heroes that the 1976 version did not focus on. Right or wrong, that's what he did. Even with that focus, there are still a lot of heroes of this one battle who do not get mentioned. If you really want some in-depth stuff, I urge everyone reading this to read the book The Battle of Midway by Craig Symonds. It is really something. Could this movie have been better? Absolutely. Was it still a pretty good flick? Absolutely!
My only complaint about this movie was the exclusion of the Grumman Wildcat and it's pilots on the American side, and the Japanese Aichi 'Val' dive bomber and it's crews. Both of these types played important roles in this historic battle.
I respect your opinion but imho this movie was complete garbage. This battle is so compelling without the hollywood cgi and inaccuracies. Why can't they tell a story like tora tora tora did. Stick to the facts. Be real.
This movie was god awful. One of the worst war movies I've ever seen. Laughably bad CGI, historical inaccuracies, low IQ cringe dialogue, terrible acting, unlikable actors, etc. Just God awful all around
I like the brave cameraman trope. It reminds me of Jack black in Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Bro went into beast mode only when he lost all his footage.💀
I urge everyone to watch a documentary on RUclips about the battle. And how truly brave the American pilots were. Heck, even the Japanese were brave. But, the way most of those squadrons just.... died. Doing nothing. But a few determined squadrons, through insane luck, manage to sink the main strike force of the Japanese navy... in a few minutes, really. Within minutes, 3 of the 4 Japanese carriers were burning bow to stern.
well, jap carriers didn't burn from bow to stern in a matter of minutes. but they got there with more time, in some cases for hours, as a result of US navy planes bombing for sure.
@@Aelxi there are plenty of flyable warbirds, and replicas in the US alone to recreate this movie. Several pacific theatre movies have been recreated like this is years past….

The directors should have shown something/ anything with the wildcats and buffalo’s trying to defend the island. Also they should have shown how banged up the Japanese squadrons were after the raid. “Shattered sword “
This is one of the WORST war movies of all-time. REALLY BAD CGI, terrible acting, low IQ, cheesy dialogue, historical inaccuracies. Took me 3 attempts to be able to cringe through the entire Pearl Harbor scene at the beginning. Worst war movie ever

@@g.t.richardson6311 Talking to anyone who thinks anyone other than the Japanese had foreknowledge of a coming raid specifically on Pearl Harbor. I think the OP was responding to the latter part of the video which shows parts of the PH raid or has confused PH with Midway. In any case, what was known by who and when is well documented and no one other than the Japanese knew there was going to be a raid on PH, December 7, 1941. Same old 80+ year old conspiracy bs.
No, that's garbage. They believed the Japanese would likely be attacking somewhere but the conventional wisdom was the Philippines - which they did soon after Pearl Harbor. The fact of the matter is no one thought the Japanese had the capability to move such a large strikes force into range of Pearl Harbor, including refueling at sea, without being detected, as well as imagining they could project that kind of striking power at once and so effectively. The whole "they knew about Pearl harbor" is just the same old conspiracy bs and what the US knew and when they knew it, plus what they understood and expected is well documented.

Movie spent far too much time with events having nothing to do with Midway and consequently had no time for the real battle itself.

Or for that matter, respecting the war criminals of the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces.
This movie isn’t as bad as ppl make it to be, yes, the CGI could have been better, but overall, I really liked this movie
It's pretty bad. A few decent historical facts drowned out by cheap, Hollywood crap
戦闘シーンの描写が良くも悪くもハリウッド映画って感じですね。
映画を見てるほとんどの人は満足できるクオリティかもしれませんが、おかしな描写が多々あってツッコミどころが多いです。

"Severe water shortage on target AF"
"Its ok sir they are on an island surrounded by water"
The aircraft combat scenes in this movie are absurd. Typical effing Hollywood, where accuracy does not matter--only box office sales do.
Yea it’s ridiculous. It’s not even close to what actually happened.
Yeah dude, that's the point of Hollywood, entertainment. if you want 100% historical accuracy read a book.

6 meses después del ataque de Pearl habor y ahora ataca la batalla de midway
Man these comments are insane.
Okay…. Are these comments mentally ill or they haven’t seen worse movies before, this movie is in the ok rank but it ain’t that bad, people are just down right children on the inside about entertainment
Even though you know history and most of these events in the historical events didn’t happened doesn’t mean it’s a disappointment,
It’s cool and Depressing fact of sometimes telling us we can’t have anything when war hits the only way to stop it is to finish the battle,
Which yeah the dialogue and stuff needs work, but hey the CGI is okay, I’d put this in rank it entertainment
A 8/10
But other stuff eh,
It’s a womping 4/10
I like polar bears.
I like turtles.
Same
I like raccoons
I like giraffes ❤
The movie was pretty ok imo
Barves Marines 🎉
Who knew that midway was the bay harbor butcher this whole time.
terrible joke homie
More ham than a butcher that only sells ham.
The levels of self congratulation are off the scale.
The directors should have shown something/ anything with the wildcats and buffalo’s trying to defend the island. Also they should have shown how banged up the Japanese squadrons were after the raid. “Shattered sword “
心臓を捧げよ
This is not what it was like.
すぐアメリカ視点
Completely inaccurate. Islands were too small for all the planes to attack at once.
They didn’t
Unlike the much better movie from 1966 this one include john ford shooting his movie
It's a low bar. The 1976 version was lousy.
at least get the right bugle call
A full CAPTAIN standing watch in the watchtower (at the beginning of the video)??? I think not...
This movie was such a let down
Not a bad movie but I just hate CGI
Than how do you watch movies- wtf 🗿
Cagada, en Midway había Brester Buffalo y no llego ni uno a los portaviones japoneses
They sacrificed so much for cinematic art
Mockery.
Sadly the gov is still teaching “we did nothing wrong , expanding by force it was our right ; the Americans bombed us for no reason “😢
Japan attacked Pear Harbour before American dropped any bombs M8

I understand that the two major intelligence agencies knew the attack was coming...but the respective agencies egos prevented collaboration.
That was Pearl Harbor
Your understanding is faulty because nothing about that is factual.
