Review of Midway

Midway (1976)
9/10
The love story was essential in this movie..
11 November 2008
Some reviewers suggest that the movie might of been better had the story of the Japanese girl and the navy pilots love affair not been a part of the movie, but I disagree. It was a very integral to the overall story in that it showed the indifference that was heaped on Asian people merely because of their race relation to the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.It was used much in the same way that a love story was part of the movie Titanic(1997) and made it a more interesting and compelling movie. If there wasn't something we could relate to in a personal way(such as a love story) then we might as well be watching a documentary and we all know those are usually quite tedious and boring to watch on a Saturday afternoon!
