Windtalkers - WWII war movie celebrating Navajo role
Rated R - The Windtalkers movie provides a very good view of WWII in the Pacific islands and an excellent portrayal of the Navajo role as code talkers. The Navajo communication code was never broken during the entire WWI era. For those not familiar with Navajo, the language includes both tonal and guttural sounds, in addition to most sounds heard in English. Tonal sounds mean something different based on high or low pitch, and guttural sounds include clicks made with the tongue. I was privileged to attend a lecture by two former Navajo code talkers in April 2008. They said the movie was accurate and portrayed their roles well. The code was created by the Navajo who used Navajo words for land animals, flying animals and water animals for the various types of equipment and ordinance used by the military. They also had a short code for each letter that couuld be used to spell out any words that were not already in a specific code. The Navajo culture was portrayed very well and included good insights into the clashes between growing up Navajo and also being forbidden to speak Navajo in the schools. It was a surprise to the Navajo soldiers when they were asked to use their language for military purposes. The WWII era fight for the Pacific islands was shown in lots of detail in the movie. If you purchase this movie for your home, would recommend viewing it after any young children are off to bed. The R rating is due to very graphic war violence, shown very up close, including lots of blood, gore, and body parts. For those looking for an excellent historical action movie - this one is highly recommended.Read full review

Very realistic war movie, graphic violence
I have watched many war films, and the sheer body count in this one seems much higher than average. Realistic, yet it takes the focus off the Navajo Codetalkers and places it on Nicolas Cage stalking Rambo-like through the field killing everyone in sight. Cage is an incredible actor. You can still sympathize with him even after watching him kill dozens of Japanese soldiers and some U.S. Marines. Ben Yahzee, the younger Codetalker, at first comes off so weak and inept in battle that it's embarrassing. On two separate occasions he stands with a gun pointed at a Japanese soldier while Cage shouts "Kill him! Kill him!" Even then, Cage has to do the killing the first time. The second time, after what seems like an eternity, Ben stabs the guy with his bayonet. Didn't the Codetalkers have to go through basic training? Strangely, it is not his friendship with Cage, but a rift with him that transforms Ben overnight into a killing machine. The older Codetalker, Charlie Whitehorse, is clearly holding out on his comrades; he stays in the background until one battle where he suddenly pulls a knife out of his boot and dispatches about a dozen Japanese, single-handed. This film succeeds as a bloody war movie, and as a glimpse into the tortured psyche of Cage. But I would have liked to see more on the Codetalkers, especially their training, how they were selected, and what they were instructed to do during battle. This film makes it appear the Marines drove down to the reservation and rounded up any man willing to go, gave them classroom training in languages but no basic military skills, then dumped them onto the battlefield with instructions to stay behind the Marine assigned to protect them. Maybe that IS the way it was, but it's not spelled out, so I was left wondering if the military had railroaded the Navajos or if Yahzee was just especially naive. In any case, this film sparked my interest in the Codetalkers and made me want to learn more.Read full review

Little known fact about World War II
Even though this movie was panned by so-called critics, WINDTALKERS is extremely well-acted. Every movie has its elements of truth with little bits of fiction interspersed to make it entertaining. This is the story of the code that was never broken by the Japanese. The Navajo Code and the men who were trained to use it were hidden from public knowledge for many years. Adam Beach and Roger Willie are truly representative of those brave Marines; Willie is in fact Navajo while Beach is a Canadian First Nations tribal member. Not one of the actors is unbelievable. Nicolas Cage, Christian Slater, Noah Emmerich, Peter Stormare, Brian Van Holt, Mark Ruffalo and Miss Frances O'Connor round out a superb cast. Director John Woo has said he uses close-ups of the characters in order to make them believable and he has definitely achieved that special bond between audience and actor. The special effects are excellent; the film is rated R for language and the violence depicted in a war movie. Any student of World War II will find this movie a must for their collection.

Windtalkers talks buy gives little!
The pro of Windtalkers is that it has some interesting hand-to-hand combat scenes, actually a lot, but often the firepower is too fiery and unrealistic, the grenades explosions do not explode as real grenades do but light up in great balls of fire, and Cage the sergeant is too broody. It is time Hollywood does away with these stereotypical agonizing war heroes, very long overdue. Then, the cursing and swearing (I've done my military share) makes it an almost disaster of a historical movie because one wouldn't share it with their nine-year old kids and young teens, whom one might hope will join the military. It's preferable to go back to the older Hollywood war movies. The more modern directors, producers, and writers no longer inspire, they do not have a sense of true art in them anymore. The code talking Native Americans spend about three minutes relaying message in Navajo when the movie should have been about them, not Nicholas Cage's personal problems. I served three years in war.Read full review
