I enjoy watching the movie, MIDWAY. It is starting Charleston Heston as Captain Matthew Garth and Henry Fonda as Admiral Chester W Nimitz. I think it came out in the 1970s. It was all about the captain's son, Tom, the lieutenant, who fell in love with a Japanese woman. It tells me all about breaking a Japanese naval code and knowing their plan. It was attacking Midway. Another code, which was a diversion, found out to be attacking the Alleutians in Alaska. In order for the code to be broken, the code rippers had to send a fake message to Midway, concerning their malfunctioning of their fresh water evaporator. And the Japanese took the bait. Before all that could happen, the B-25 under Lt Col Doolittle took off from the Carrer Hornet to bomb Tokyo and nearby cities in Japan to boost morale somehow. And the intelligence found out that the Jap ships were going to attach Australia somewhere. Leading Americans to get even with the Japs at Coral Sea, losing the Lexington and Yorktown damaged. The breaking of the code and constant air searches led us to the Japanese fleet. And eventually the tide has turned, with four Japanese carriers: AKAGI, KAGA, SORYU, and HIRYU sunk. Well, the Americans lost the Yorktown along with destroyer Hamman. Additionally, the Japs lost the cruiser Mikuma. This American decisive victory turned the tide. I wonder what you think about this movie.

Yeah. I would love to relive the 1940s especially World War II, Pacific Theater. Especially in the battle of Midway. To figure out how to break a code. I would go to www.moviesunlimited.com. I know what it is like to act in a movie or play on stage.
