Any remake will be a woketard trainwreck.
No! No remake. Like you inferred...a woketard trainwreck.
bttt
Women pilots, a gay ship Captain, etc...
The film as is, has a cliche approach, and especially ending, to the question posed in the plot. It would have actually been something of a special thought experiment had the story revolved around the Nimitz actually being unleashed to it’s full potential against the Japanese fleet.
The real question of the movie to me should not have been, Is it right to change history?, but rather throw history to the wind, and let’s find out, just how much damage can a Nimitz Class Carrier (without any support ships) do to a WWII fleet? How fun would that have been to watch eh?
Instead, we get the ‘woke’ standard cliche ending, of keeping history the ‘same’, even though the movie ignores that history is already changed the moment the Nimitz interacts with the Senator and with the Jap planes. I thought it was a cowardly approach to the story honestly.
Bay and Bruckheimer are less woke...Bruckheimer married a Kentucky shiksa and didn’t force her to convert
He’s a sensible man.....pragmatically conservative in a sea of acid drenched Orcs
I’ve met Bay via an ex girlfriend of his he’s still pals with.....most unassuming very rich man I’ve ever met
If you didn’t know you would not know
The criticism which treats him as a McDonalds of cinema stings him though...
Not as well as one would expect. GPS has become a crutch and the old tricks to navigation are nearly lost due to attrition. Over the years the Army kept revising the gunnery manuals because of upgraded fire control systems for example. When I first got in flying old snakes we had to memorize the interior, exterior and aerial ballistics so we could compensate and still hit the target. It might have been punching one round and marking the canopy with a grease pen so we knew where the hit was for the second run. As time progressed and fire control systems were added the teaching of ballistics fell to the wayside and was eliminated from the manuals. The newer systems rely on GPS integration for ballistic computations. One component fails in the system and you are back to Kentucky windage. Todays aviators need that pipper so they can place it on the target to hit. Once a system fails they have no clue how to adjust fire on the fly much less how to navigate by terrain only with a map and index finger. So has the navigation with sextants for the Navy. They may have been briefly shown one but haven’t seen one since. The younger generations are strictly the Xbox generation where manual calculations are for those old codgers. Unless you consistently train with manual calculations it slips the mind from disuse.
