For anyone who wants to realy know what a windtalker is, this movie is ideal. For it explains alot about world war II and the navajo indians part in the war. My great Uncle James, was a Sgt. In the Marine Corps, and he was assigned to a windtalker, he never discussed the job. Years later, in the 60s, he made a brief comment, that the navajo's never got the recognition they justly deserved. But, now, here with this movie, you can see for yourself, the justice was delivered. Adam Beach plays a windtalker. Using the navajo language and military jargon they confounded the japanese radiomen in their own language calling in air and artillery strikes. The pains and sorrows they suffered along with theGIs that were assigned to them. The code was so important to the us military, that the order were to shoot the windtalker, to protect the code. The military never stopped to realize that the navajo indian would have died under torture to protect the code, they really didn't need any body guards.Read full review
As a non historical follower, I usually avoid war movies. This one I enjoyed. The subject matter of using Native Americans in the war to put one over our enemy, was not only interesting but an eye opener for me. I knew to some extent about them being in our armed services, but their importance in this instant, was totally worth watching the movie for. I am glad to see the braves souls portrayed in the light this movie offers. Nice to give credit where credit due. The movie not only was well made, but the actors were top notch. The action scenes are intense and added to the story instead of glorifying it for ratings sake.
One of the best movies ever made and about the greatest American Heros our Windtalkers who have finally been given the Honors they all deserved from the beginning of their service to this grea country
