The Movie that i chose to watch was Windtalkers.
During world war two, Sergeant Joe Enders rallies to return to active duty with the aid of his Nurse Rita. After previously surviving a gruesome battle against the Imperial Japanese Army that killed his entire squad and left him almost deaf from a grenade explosion. Joe's new assignment is to protect Private Ben Yahzee, which earns him the rank of sergeant. Sargent Ox Anderson also gets an assignment protecting Private Charlie Whitehorse. Ben and Charlie are both Navajo code talkers. Yahzee and Whitehorse who are from the same Navajo tribe, are trained to send and receive coded messages that direct battleship bombardments of Japanese entrenched positions. Enders and Anderson are told that since captured Navajos are always tortured to death the code cannot fall into enemy hands, telling them that they are to kill their code talkers if capture is imminent. As the movie goes on to the end, Yahzee and Enders are both shot as they attempt to retrieve the radio. Enders manages to carry Yahzee to safety after taking a shot in the chest. With his last breath Enders confesses that he hated having to kill Whitehorse, and that his mission was to protect the code above all else. After the war Yahzee, his wife, and his son sit on top of Point Mesa in Monument Valley, Arizona, and perform the Navajo ritual of paying respects to the man who saved his life.
This movie was inspired by the true story of Navajo soldiers who helped win the war. I really enjoy watching this movie and if your into war movies based of true stories then you will love the movie Windtalkers. It was very interesting to learn about how the Navajo were a big part in the war.
