a5c7b9f00b WWII. Joe Enders, a decorated Marine who is by-the-book to a fault, is just coming back on duty (by cheating on his medical tests). "Ox" Anderson, much greener, is also getting the same new task: Protect the Navajo codetalkers (Ben Yahzee and Charles Whitehorse, respectively). While Enders is initially frustrated with his assignment, his respect grows as the codetalkers prove their worth in the brutal battle to take Saipan.
In the close quarters and brutal fighting of the World War II Pacific Theater, the U.S. Intelligence services desperately seek a fool-proof encryption code, immune to the code breakers of the Japanese. The answer is soon discovered in the ancient language of the Navajo. Enlisted into the Marine Corps are several "Windtalkers" who are deployed to frontline areas in the Pacific, to use their language as an impossible-to-crack secret code. A drawback, however, is that the U.S. military soon puts forth a directive that the Windtalkers must never be captured alive by the enemy, so additional Marines are assigned to make certain that this directive is carried out to the letter.
I saw a pre-screening of this as a promo for senior week at my college, and I must say it was one of the most abominable movies I have ever seen. The acting was horrible, and I like Nicholas Cage. Both his role and that of Sean Penn were just poorly written, and Nicholas Cage's tortured soul part was just way too overdone. I thought that a movie starring Cage directed by John Woo would be great, especially since I thought they went great together in Face/Off, but I was mistaken. There really isn't much else to say about how much I hated this movie, the direction, the acting, the script, EVERYTHING. Don't waste your time or your money.
Tonight, I could have stayed home to watch Elimidate, sure…Or I could have gone to see Windtalkers. I should have stayed home.<br/><br/>Windtalkers is the most formulaic war movie that I have yet seen. Unfortunately, the formula falls apart when you only put forth a half-ass effort. There&#39;s the attempt at a love story in the background that fails (no character development). There&#39;s the initial conflict from the racist soldier when the unwelcome indians join the white man&#39;s army–which dissipates only after the indians prove themselves by saving said white man. There&#39;s the heroic ending–meaning the hero dies (a-la Saving Private Ryan).<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the formula only gets you too far. There&#39;s the need to fill two hours with something. So ya do what ya can…Ya throw in some stock footage which appears to be video midway through the movie. Ya throw in a load of explosions–which unfortunately are not consistent with the size of projectile causing the explosion (a hand grenade has a larger explosion than a 20&quot; round that appears to weigh 75 pounds). Ya try to make the movie mean something–unfortunately, you forget what that is 15 minutes into the film. Ya try to throw in some buddy moments between Christian Slater and his indian. Ooh ooh, and don&#39;t forget the importance of trying to prove that Nic Cage&#39;s character is insane. And finally, the best element of the film was that the jungles of Japan had Yucca plants and sage brush, much like southern California and uhhh…Texas?<br/><br/>In essence, I just have to say that I can see why it took so long for Windtalkers to be released. I would assume that they were trying to re-edit the movie into something worthwhile. Sadly, when you try to polish a turd, you just get s*** all over your hands.
Woo's antiwar intentions and his talent are at odds. In Windtalkers, war is a beautiful hell.
During World War II, U.S. Marine Sergeants Joe Enders (<a href="/name/nm0000115/">Nicolas Cage</a>) and Pete &quot;Oz&quot; Anderson (<a href="/name/nm0000225/">Christian Slater</a>) are each assigned to protect two Navajo Indians, Privates Ben Yahzee (<a href="/name/nm0063440/">Adam Beach</a>) and Charlie Whitehorse (<a href="/name/nm0932194/">Roger Willie</a>) respectively, recruited for the sole purpose of using their native language in the western Pacific island of Saipan as an impossible-to-crack encryption code. In reality, however, it is the code Enders and Anderson are assigned to protect at all cost, not the code-talkers. Although the story presented in the film is fiction, it is based on hundreds of Native Americans, referred to as code talkers, who used their native languages to transmit impossible-to-crack coded messages during the first and second World Wars. Yahzee manages to get a message to the flyboys, giving them the coordinates of the Japanese artillery. As they attempt to make a run for safety, they are both hit with gunfire. Figuring that they are about to be either killed or captured, Yahzee turns Enders&#39; gun on himself and tells Enders to shoot him as ordered to protect the code, but Enders refuses. Instead, he carries Yahzee on his shoulders into the safety of a dugout. Suddenly, allied planes fly overhead and strike the Japanese shooting from the ridge. Yahzee notices the wound in Enders&#39; chest and tries to comfort him. Enders admits that he didn&#39;t want to shoot Charlie and begins to recite the &quot;Hail Mary&quot; as he dies. In the final scene, Yahzee and his family stand on the top of Point Mesa in Monument Valley. Yahzee places Enders&#39; dogtags around his son&#39;s neck and tells him what a &quot;brave warrior&quot; Enders was. As Yahzee recites a Navajo prayer in Enders&#39; honor, a text screen reads: &quot;The Navajo Code was vital in the victory at Saipan and every major battle in the Pacific. The code was never broken.&quot;
