In 2016, after Croatian columnist Goran Vojković published an article marking the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Vis a.k.a. Battle of Lissa, a rather lively and interesting Facebook discussion unfolded on the topic. It raised the question of why such an exciting, dynamic, spectacular and historically significant event for this part of the world could not be further evoked in the form of a feature film. The autho…More

I am a big fan of World War 2 films especially if they try to make them as historically accurate as possible and have a good enough budget to replicate the various scenes. Obviously putting massive sea battles on film with no longer existing aircraft carriers and planes that only fly a couple times a year in air shows is going to be very difficult to put into a film but with the right CGI it can be done. I personall…More
It's hard for any of us today to fully understand just how much of an underdog the American military was in 1942. In the Pacific the Japanese had a bigger navy, more experience, and often better arms. We had no reason to believe they didn't plan to invade Hawaii, then go on to attack West Coast cities. As nations played a dangerous game of chess across the vast ocean, a tiny, two and a half square mile atoll in the…More
Why the fuck should you watch “Midway”? • You were watching “Dunkirk” last week and thought that it should have had more fight scenes with planes. • You are a history and war enthusiast. • You like boom-boom and piu-piu. • You can easily put yourself in other people’s shoes and think why they did what they did. “Midway” is a war movie that starts with the Pearl Harbor being attacked by Japanese forces and what happe…More
昨天发帖说了，忙里偷闲去看了院线正在上映的大片《决战中途岛》。剧情就是平铺直叙，从偷袭珍珠港开始，表现了进攻马绍尔群岛，杜立特对东京的单程轰炸，迫降中国后被营救，美军对日本的情报破译，最后在中途岛决战的整个过程。应该说还是不错的,算是近年来难得的全景式战争片，有点像六、七十年代的战争电影，不像很多现在战争电影总是加入许多爱情故事和人性反思。这样似乎更符合军事和历史爱好者的胃口，而不太适合大众口味。可能正因如此，害怕票房亏本，整部影片投资不大，视觉效果虽然仍属上乘，但完全依赖电脑CG，在画面质感上比18年前的《珍珠港》差了很多，因为《珍珠港》里面还是有很多实拍镜头的。当然《珍珠港》当年也是票房血亏。 剧情基本就跟历史教科书似的，但是为了照顾普通观众，做了简化，日本方面的角色只有舰队指挥官山本五十六，机动部队指挥官南云忠一、二航战指挥官山口多闻。美国方面则仅有太平洋舰队司令尼米兹和哈尔西。其余的戏份则分配给了轰炸机驾驶员贝斯特和情…More
