The key to winning a war has usually been being able to have a
secret code. Back in WWII the United States tried to use Navajo
Indian's language as a secret code to relay information from
headquarters to troops. But you couldn't easily teach Navajo to
English-speaking Americans so you brought the Indians along to do
the translation. The problem was that you couldn't let any of these
Indians fall into enemy hands or your codes might be compromised if
they are tortured. This movie tells of the soldier trying
to protect his Navajo translator. Friendships develop, but what do
you do if you might need to kill your friend?
This looks to be a decent war film giving tribute to the
challenges the Navajo faced as well as the sacrifices they made.
I've said it before that I'm not a big Nicolas Cage fan, but he looks
better in this role that most of those before.
There's more to come as I can find out about the movie.
That's it for this preview! I'm The Dude on the Right!! L8R!!! |
