What Parents Need to Know
About Windtalkers
Parents need to know that this movie has a great deal of graphic battle violence and very strong language, including racial epithets. The Navajo characters are portrayed as patriotic, brave, and dedicated.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the way that Enders and Yahzee change during the course of the movie. They might also talk why the movie makers chose to focus on the Nicholas Cage character, rather than the Navajos in the title.

A Bit of a Let Down
When I saw this movie on the rack at the store, I thought "Awesome, a movie about the famous windtalkers in Saipan!" When I Saw the movie though, all those thoughts went down the toilet. The acting was horrible, every explosion was a fiery ball of death, the battles were absolutely unrealistic. I still laugh at Nicholas Cage's face when he gets mad and shoots that Japanese on fire. Just try and stay away from this movie!!!

Terrible
This is the worst war film I've ever seen. Even though the battle scenes are realistic it doesn't help this film when the acting is terrible. Suitable for 12/13+, but they'd probably be better off watching something else.

this movies was great and very realistic
nicholas Cage does a great job in this film. the violence is very graphic but realistic. lots of people are killid with gun. some are killed brutally and graphically with a knife. the language is like a typical war movie. lots of "f" words. also there is racial comments. this movie great, very well done. if you like war movies especially on World War 2, you would love this movie.

a dont watch...
I wouldn't waste time and money getting this. Like all WW2 movies, there was waaaaaaaayy to much swearing! Swearing in movies is un-needed, but this has a LOT. Also it went along the theme of 'Saving Private Ryan' which I did not like at all. Nicholas Cage and the Navajos are good, but too much swearing, to much drinking, too much blood 'n guts. Too bad cuz it could have been a good movie.

Why? Oh why must we be subjected to such writing?
This is another movie about race that features a white leading character and passive minorities dependent on the white man's benevolence. The message is that those Indians should be grateful for Nicholas Cage not hating them. Not to mention the stereotypical treatement of Native American life, with their connected-ness-to-nature and quirky ceremonies and junk. If all this weren't damning enough, it was horribly dull and even though it was the only movie available to see in Hanoi at the time I wished I hadn't wasted the forty cents admission price, and gotten a bowl of soup instead.
