neutral · AI labelView post →Movie The Windtalkers is about Navajo fighting in WWII n how they helped win the war sending war messages in Navajo. Despite what the Navajos did to help win the war, they n along with other Native American tribes were treated poorly, land taken from them n still today live in 3rd world conditions
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched WINDTALKERS (2002) which is John Woo's 100 million dollar World War II film that becomes striking by feeling exactly like a Chinese Action movie. A sort of pulp-kitsch version of The Thin Red Line where Nicholas Cage is subject to soulful dissolves and you come away thinking humans are good.
positive · AI labelView post →I never saw the movie Windtalkers so I can't speak to it's quality or accuracy but it's weird to be grateful that a Hollywood movie about it at least exists since the govt is doubling down on erasure. Same with 42 (though I did see that)
neutral · AI labelView post →That was the basis of the Nic Cage movie Windtalkers https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windtalkers
neutral · AI labelView post →They had unbreakable codes. I highly recommend watching the movie "Windtalkers" to fill in this missing part of our history for you. Our DIVERSITY saved lives and ended the war earlier at great sacrifice by heros. Not too violent, and Adam Beach is charming in this.
positive · AI labelView post →And a great story! MAGA is a scourge on civil society. The movie “Windtalkers” is a good movie that’s based on the real “code talkers”.
positive · AI labelView post →FUN FACT: "Windtalkers is a 2002 American war film directed and co-produced by John Woo, starring Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach, Peter Stormare, Noah Emmerich, Mark Ruffalo, and Christian Slater. It is based on the real story of code talkers from the Navajo nation during World War II."
neutral · AI labelView post →I tried to watch “Windtalkers” just for the history angle, by my God it’s a lame movie.
negative · AI labelView post →Since I got back from New Mexico I’ve been doing light research about the Navajo Code Talkers during WWII. My dad is very enamored of them, but other than knowing ABOUT their existence I didn’t know much more. I tried to watch the movie Windtalkers tonight. It’s about all white Marines.
negative · AI labelView post →I know he won’t read about it and won’t watch a movie because of his attention span, but maybe someone could show him the trailer for the 2002 movie Windtalkers? It’s not even a great movie. Just trying to figure out how to disseminate information to a moron. Maybe a coloring book.
negative · AI labelView post →"Look at Nicolas Cage. He made many horrible movies. Snake Eyes, 8mm, Gone in 60 Seconds, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Windtalkers, Ghost Rider, Family Man, Weather Man, Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous. But then he nailed it, Stan, with National Treasure 2, the greatest movie of all time!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Dette leder meg til et gøy spørsmål: har du noensinne forlatt en kino midt i en film? (Jeg har ikke gjort det, men vurdert det sterkt under Northman, og under Windtalkers.)
neutral · AI labelView post →A thing that I love and also sort of hate is that Nicholas Cage made a movie about the Code Talkers called "Windtalkers", and someone at Cracked did a photoshop contest that was just Cage and the Code Talker with the caption "Hey, man. You talk like the wind" and it's permanently lodged in my brain
neutral · AI labelView post →My favourite of the "Nicolas Cage learns a skill for a movie" stories is his claim that he learned to speak Navajo for the movie Windtalkers, even though his character never says a word of Navajo in the entire movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching #filmsky 🎥 It’s really blowing my mind that this and the first have writing credits for Robert Towne. I think this will make the second most recently made John Woo film I’ve seen after WINDTALKERS, though it’s been over a decade since I last saw that.
neutral · AI labelView post →In WWII movie Windtalkers the film cuts from a wide shot of a lush Hawaiian ridge to a close shot of soldiers moving thru a landscape shot in AZ or UT

neutral · AI labelView post →And yet WINDTALKERS remains on IMDB and available to stream on Tubi and Pluto.TV. Go watch a movie based on the actual, provable history our government is trying to memory-hole.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy early Veterans Day and Indigenous Month! A great movie to watch is Windtalkers, how the Navajo nation, and our DIVERSITY saved American lives in WWII.
positive · AI labelView post →Yes, exactly. Talk and educate. Watching the 2002 film called "Windtalkers' with Nicholas Cage was an eye-opener for me. I had heard of the code talkers but knew very little. After seeing the film I wanted to learn more.
positive · AI labelView post →Windtalkers, this is a good time to check this movie out. Two U.S. Marines in World War II are assigned to protect the Navajo Marines who use their native language as an unbreakable radio cipher. www.imdb.com/title/tt0245...
positive · AI labelView post →“Nicolas Cage is set to star in upcoming crime epic Gambino from director John Woo, reuniting the pair almost 30 years since cult action hit Face/Off.” Windtalkers erasure variety.com/2025/film/gl...
neutral · AI labelView post →There's a decent Nick Cage movie from 2002, Windtalkers, about Navajo Indians in WWII being code talkers. And no Nick Cage doesn't play a Navajo.
positive · AI labelView post →see some mutuals talking about Woo’s M:I 2, count me in the ‘it mostly stinks’ camp. Woo’s best American film is Windtalkers, old school war melodrama at a fever pitch mixed with some truly disgusting violence. It’s the only one that comes close to Bullet in the Head (his masterpiece)
positive · AI labelView post →The Netflix documentary The Navajo Code Talkers: Top Secret Mission is currently unavailable in your country, but other films about Navajo code talkers, like Windtalkers (2002), are available on alternative streaming platforms. Windtalkers movie plot fascinated me.
neutral · AI labelView post →I certainly never heard of this. I did hear a lot about the Navaho Code Talkers, then saw the movie Windtalkers which I thought was really good. Just recently saw where you can see it on streaming movie services. I recommend it.
positive · AI labelView post →You'd think their contribution would be permanently etched in history? They even made a movie about them called Windtalkers. They were also critical in achieving victory in the Pacific during WWII. Whoever is scrubbing them needs a history lesson.
neutral · AI labelView post →See the movie while it is still available! Windtalkers is a 2002 American war film based on the real story of code talkers from the Navajo nation during World War II. m.imdb.com/title/tt0245...
neutral · AI labelView post →Never thought John Woo's Windtalkers would end up being a subversive commie movie.
positive · AI labelView post →The movie about them is called Windtalkers.
unlabelledView post →I saw Bringing Out The Dead in the theater - great film, very underappreciated. Gone in 60 Seconds was nowhere near as good as the 1974 low budget masterpiece. Windtalkers was decent. #hatm
unlabelledView post →Which is what pissed me off so bad about the John Woo movie Windtalkers. FINALLY, we got a movie about a chapter of World War II that never really got much public recognition, the Navajo code talkers, aaaaaaaaand... they made it a movie about Nic Cage and Christian Slater. Just... ugh.

unlabelledView post →@warmovietheatre.com @roberthutton.co.uk @duncanweldon.bsky.social Chaps,a few episodes ago you contemplated a John Woo war movie, only to be disappointed that it would be “Windtalkers” . Could I suggest “ Bullet in the Head “ a Vietnam war set adventure , which is in cinemas next week 29/5.
unlabelledView post →trying to (finally) watch the movie Windtalkers and it seems like John Woo's director's cut is not the standard version ... interested in how that sometimes happens and sometimes doesn't
unlabelledView post →I've hardly seen any of these. Casualties of War, Apocalypse Now, Eastern Condors (of course). I thought maybe I'm just not a big war movie guy, but I love The Great Escape, Windtalkers, Thin Red Line and of course, Escape to Victory. Might be the Vietnam thing doesn't resonate so much for me.

unlabelledView post →Have you watched the movie “Windtalkers”
unlabelledView post →I dare say, the director’s cut of Windtalkers is Woo’s best U.S. film.
unlabelledView post →Vacation time continues🤙🏽 Fun Fact: speaking to Kerri in Mi’kmaw while in Spain (she’s picked up a lot over the years), it’s like we are code talkers in the movie Windtalkers. If anyone here can understand what we are saying, I’d be super proud of them.
unlabelledView post →I counter and say the directors cut of Windtalkers is the best American Woo movie.
unlabelledView post →That horrible "Windtalkers" movie needs to be remade. Beach and Willie were good, but Cage, Emmerich and Slater plus that script ruined it. The code talkers story needs to be retold. It's absolutely fascinating.

unlabelledView post →Seriously, are you f*(king kidding me. Maybe they can erase the movie WindTalkers too, 33% rotten 🍅 Navajo emphasizes respect so the best we can do is: “Dah naatʼáaniígíí dílzin da, éí béeso nizhónígo bii’ na’anish.” (This government has no respect; it only works for wealth and power.) #resist
unlabelledView post →Gives me an idea for a low-cost social event you could do for people in your area who might not be as political as a lot of us: do a film series, call it say "Hidden American Veterans." Screen "Windtalkers," "Glory," maybe "Go For Broke!" (about the 442nd).
unlabelledView post →Watching Windtalkers and while I don't like it as much as Saving Private Ryan, it's still a heckuva a good WWII movie. And the rare WWII movie that focuses on the war in the Pacific and not in Europe.
unlabelledView post →My dad and I went to see Windtalkers (2002), thinking it would go in-depth on the Navajo soldiers and their role in WWII. It did, sorta, when the film wasn't carting out graphic war scenes. We drove home in that sort of stunned silence that made it obvious neither of us had a good time.

unlabelledView post →oh no, John Woo's weakest US movie is definitely either Silent Night or Windtalkers M:I-2 has style (that Quantum of Solace lacks)
unlabelledView post →We shouldn't be erasing any of our history- it's the tapestry that used to make this country strong. The movie "Windtalkers" was so good on this subject, at least from a white middle aged woman's perspective.
unlabelledView post →Yes, Navajo Native American heroes in WWII. Also other native American tribes used coding in WWI. www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles... Are numerous documentaries on these Navajo heroes plus “Windtalkers” a 2002 movie based on their amazing accomplishments in WWII.
unlabelledView post →There is an excellent movie about these hero’s called Windtalkers. I recommend watching this. I think it will open a lot of eyes.
