Buying a LeMans victory by the method described above was not much different than trying to buy Ferrari in the first place.
But yeah, the movie did make Ford management look like back stabbing pussies.
I didn't get any anti-Trump vibe at all from the movie. Families squabble about politics all the time; just made this bunch look petty.
Ensemble films are better with B list casts as the actors are not detracting from the story. Also an A list start might be able to make the film about them instead of the historical event.
For example, a movie about Billy Fiske was planned with Tom Cruise. Had it been made, we might have been surprised to learn that Tom Cruise won the Battle of Britain by himself. :)
Do you think the actual Doolittle raid would have happened if the planes were not getting safe refuge in China?
This scene seems to be related to the violent interrogation of Ensign Osmus who gave up vital information (according to Japanese records found after the war) prior to being thrown overboard.
Ensign Omus had a ship named for him prior to the end of the war. It was not known at the time that he gave up valuable intel during his brief captivity.
While the German and Allied armies treated prisoners fairly well, the German/Russian and Japanese/Allied treatment of prisoners was frightful all around. The Americans were known for killing even sometimes helpless prisoners instead of capturing and the Japanese would do the same as well as torture and experiment on prisoners.

These are completely different movies. I liked Midway but I did not like the video game type action sequences in some parts of the dive bombing scenes.
