Windtalkers

This movie starts with an Indian man leaving his family to go into the army for the US. Then the movie jumps to Nicolas Cage which is playing a marine in the war. He is protecting a site. All of his men are dying. Then a bomb goes off and then it skips to him being in a hospital. When Joe Enders convinces the leader that he is fit to go back to war he is assigned to protect a Navajo that is trained in war code. When their camp gets sent into war all things seem to get messed up. There is sent to the Japanese Island of Saipan. When they are in battle many of their men keep getting killed. Joe Enders keeps having flash backs to his first time in war when his men and him were getting attacked and all of them were dying. Then later in the war the Navajos are commuting the coordinated of where they are fighting so the ships can fire bombs as the Japanese forts that are bombing them. Then Joe and Yahzee go and take over the Japanese hide out so that the US can now take over that island. Then while there unit was camping out on this island the Japanese invaded the island. Many of the soldiers were injured then.  Then Joe killed Yahzee friend because he didn’t want them to suffer. When they are getting attacked Joe gets hit really badly. Then Joe dies talking to Yahzee. Yahzee makes it home to his son and wife, and prays for Joe and that he may rest in peace.

I really liked this movie! At the beginning it was sort of hard to understand at sometimes but it got better at the end. I really liked the bond that all of the soldiers had between each other. Even when there were men in their unit dying every day they all went on and kept on fighting. Also the relationship between Joe Enders and Yahzee was special because they both had completely different views on the world and the war.
