Just saw Midway. Very good.

Good in that it was focused on just one theme: Telling that story with a lot of much-needed education in how such battles were fought back then. Indeed, how LIFE was back then.

Its a film that WON'T make you say, "Well, that's 2 hours and 18 minutes of my life I am not ever going to get back (sigh)".

VERY good in that ALL the SGW wokey bullshit was ABSENT. I mean, I am not sure when I last saw a bunch of white guys in a film. White guys behaving as white guys.

If Hollywood did this, there would have been some adsurd racial or female replacement of characters or bs like that. Instead, like seven smaller studios did this. Centropolous was one of them and some Japanese one was another. Lionsgate was just the US distributor.

If you have kids or grandkids aged 10 or older, take them to see it too. Because they sure as hell won't learn about this in school and certainly not in this way.

Thanks for the movie review. The Associated Press movie critic disparaged it.

For sure......a young black women would be in charge and running shit and the older white military men with experience would be her subordinates...

You know it's not PC and doesn't fit the narrative when its review looks like this:

Next, SJW's retconning History by making NASA of the 1960s entirely Black and LatinX Trans Engineers,.

Are you trying to tell me there were no black computer geniuses at Midway? That's racis'.

I've been watching the recent Jack Ryan thriller on Amazon, and I told my wife: " They've had the tough woman, they just put in some cross dressing, gays. They are ticking all mandatory SJW shoe-horned roles. I wonder when the black computer genius is going to crop up?" BINGO Ryan is in London and calls his, guess what? to drop a firewall and bypass a password. Black computer genius buddy, who of course does it in a split second.

I'll maybe check it out but I disliked the director's sci fi movie Independence Day.

For some reason more interesting movies seem to come out in the fall.

Just got back from seeing it, kids and I liked it. @clambo I didn't like Independents Day either but thought this was pretty good.
Kids had a ton of questions about the movie afterwards which is anther thing I really liked about it especially of a movie of this type.

I saw it with my 10 year old boy yesterday. We both thought it was really good. Some of the CGI battle scenes were a bit too much, but most of the time it just looked gorgeous.

No PC or love story B.S. - just great story telling with amazing CGI special effects.

It was nice not seeing Nimitz not played by a woman or black person, I'm sure that contributed to the critics score.

Translation:
"Testosterone-fueled" : toxic masculine, sexist.
"all-American" : racist.
"attempts to dramatize": boring white history.
"Pointless circumstances": dead white imperialist war mongers.
