The Fighting Lady

The film settings took place out in the ocean and air. An aircraft carrier was assigned to fight World War II with Japan in the islands of the Pacific Ocean. The documentary starts from the United States and through Panama Canal; then to battle and destroy Japanese supplies and warfare built on the islands.

The narration gave a full view of the training and operations of an aircraft carrier. It takes the viewer through everyday life - the talks of the Admiral, the pilots of fighter planes, controllers on deck, the cooks on the ships, the radio controllers, the repairmen, the servicemen, and all the works of the Navy. I enjoyed the details of the breakdown. 

Cameras were used in the same operations of the bombings from the planes. The footage shown how Japanese carriers of food supplies, fighter planes on ground, facilities were completely destroyed. Victories were won due to the stronger designs of the fighter planes and strategic plans. The U.S. planes had strong materials to withstand the firings. The Japanese designs implemented acrobatic flying and less substantial materials. The results of the battle were twenty fighter plane loss for the U.S. and over 300 for Japan. The plumes of smoke and fire destroyed the Japanese carriers and gave victory for the U.S.

The organization and great narration kept my full attention as every detail was complete. I found documentary films were making progress as parts of the previous films taken place in this film. I find importance in solid information for a true sense of the subject. Although I gave a very brief summary of this film, I believe a silent theory of this film will be sufficient at the moment. I think that all of my opinions of this film will surface in other commentaries in future documentary films that I will view. Since I learned the names of the islands, I would like to explore the occupancy ratios of the Japan military and their duration. This will allow me to open books of history. As I view this journey, my mind is opening up to making one short documentary about a subject that I have an interest. May I write and produce a five minute film on a building that represents true aesthetics?  I say the raw gratitude to my move to California has profoundly brought me to be a moving visual designer of my world through the lens. Furthermore, my mind filled with words. The details of these films will be the details of my mind. Adieu.
