While the war would continue on for three more long years, Midway was the turning point.Nimitz was raised by his mother, Anna, and looked to his paternal grandfather, Charles Henry Nimitz — a German of old aristocratic blood who had become a merchant sea captain — as a father figure. As attractive as Emmerich’s filmmaking is on the surface, “Midway” is an astoundingly superficial production with stock characters who Hollywood left behind decades ago.

The only hint that Emmerich is self-aware enough to recognize he’s working in outdated cinematic language is the amusing inclusion of filmmaker John Ford (shooting “The Battle of Midway” for the OSS) as a minor character, barking orders at his cameraman to film all the dog fights at the risk of life and limb.The former governor of South Carolina -- who resigned in disgrace in 2007 after lying about an extramarital affair -- announced his challenge to Trump, saying, "We have lost our way."
