Windtalkers

[Taz-in-Space]

I haven't seen Windtalkers yet, but I intend to see it.
I first heard of the use of the Navaho language as a code in WWII in the 70's. IMO, that one idea was a bigger help to the war effort than any other.
Isn't it funny how a person may get a
Medal of Honor for a little bravery, but another one such as whoever first proposed this idea, will forever be nameless!
I wonder how many Japanese code breakers were punished for NOT breaking this code?

I saw Windtalkers on opening day... I am a fan of WWII, John Woo movies and Nick Cage, so I couldn't pass it up.

Overall, the movie was entertaining, and didn't waste time on a useless love story (Pearl Harbor anyone?). However, if you're into realism of weapons and historical accuracy, be prepared to shake your head more than once. I didn't know hand grenades created a huge, bright orange fireball with sparks!

Also, the music and use of slo-mo made me feel like I was watching an episode of The A-Team sometimes, but it wasn't too bad.
