My Father and I sat in the Theater for the first Midway in 1976. Nothing compares to the big screen with no distractions. The first movie did a good job showing some Japanese perspective including the tyrannical act of interring american citizens in camps because of their heritage. That is really why you had the love story sideline.
Any new film bringing the WW2 history to a new audience is welcomed and honors those that fought for both sides.
"It doesn't make any sense, Admiral.
Yamamoto had everything going for him, power, experience, confidence... Were we better than the Japanese, or just luckier?"
