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.
this is basically at watchable war film. yes the story needed to be told as people do not associate native Americans with the 2nd world war. however i think a different director could have done a hell of a lot better job with this film. the action scenes are reminiscent of face off with a bit of commando thrown in for good measure. if all the soldiers who fought in the war could kill as many of the enemy with so few bullets used then victory would have been assured within one month. i have this movie on DVD and can watch it any time and enjoy it but i can not put it in the same class as private ryan, thin red line, band of brothers and brotherhood to name a few.
John Woo does a fantastic job conveying the horrors of World War II, especially in the graphic scenes of people being killed or wounded. However, he also does a great job in relating the story of the Navajo Codetalkers who helped to save many lives during the war. Little was known about these brave men who had the unique gift of being able to speak a language totally unknown to the Japanese forces. We learn that the codetalkers not only spoke in Navajo, but also used code words within the language so that even if the Japanese could translate the Navajo language, they still would not know what was being talked about. As I said before, once you get past the gore, you are presented with a story of bravery, honor and courage that finally does justice to a group of Americans who offered a "special gift" to their country. It's a film I encourage everyone to see.
The over-the-top sincerity that is so rewarding in "Face/Off" (1998), Woo's best American film, feels too clichéd in this more conventional context.
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;
