Wind talkers

Movie Critique

This movie is directed by a man named John Woo. This movie is also produced

by Terence Chang. This movie got 3 out of 5 stars. The release date for this movie was

on June 12, 2002. I watched this movie this past weekend in my room as well. Wind

Talkers is a good title for the movie because it really compliments the scenes in the

movie and the plot as well. The people who put this film together did a good job of

showing good detail and scenery.

Joe Enders, a decorated marine who is a fault because he cheated on his test, is

coming back on duty. While he is frustrated with his assignment, his respect grows as

the code talkers prove their worth in the brutal battle to take Saipan. The code

talkers are the soldiers who he is escorting and must protect at all cost. Ender and

other wind talkers are deployed to frontline areas in the Pacific to use their language

as an advantage to crack secret codes and keep codes of their own. Their biggest

drawback is that the U.S. military soon puts forth a directive that orders the wind

talkers to not allow themselves being caught by the enemy. If so they must hide their

codes. In order to do this, they must kill.

Joe Enders is an escort and a military soldier at the same time. He is sad

because of what happened to his previous platoon. They were all killed and he was

left alone. Despite this, Joe Enders has a good personality. He shows his courage and

heart during the war. He also shows much effort in the war as well. Another

character of the movie is Ben Yahzee. He is brought in for the army’s plan to keep

their codes secret. His not much of a talker but when he does talk, he speaks wisdom

of difficult codes. He must not be captured by the enemy or else Joe Enders, his

escort, will have to kill him out of law.

The setting of the movie is in Guadalcanal on the Soloman Islands in 1943. The

time span for this movie is between...
