welcome back to movie recap today i'm
gonna show you a 2002 american war film
called the wind talkers
spoilers ahead
seat back relax and enjoy the video
the movie begins during the events of
world war ii where in private ban yazi
unexpectedly meets private charlie
whitehorse while finding an available
seat on the bus
yah zee and whitehorse are childhood
friends from the navajo tribe
meanwhile u.s marine corporal joseph f
joe enders is fighting for his life as
he and his soldiers try to survive a
gruesome battle on the solomon islands
however one of ender's comrades informs
him that they are running out of ammo
and most of his comrades are getting
killed by the imperial japanese army
leaving him no choice enders immediately
takes action to retreat when suddenly a
bomb detonates in his area leaving him
almost deaf in his left ear while his
entire squad dies
on the other hand yah zee and whitehorse
safely arrive at camp pendleton in
california and immediately take an oath
to serve their country
technically they will train to send and
receive coded messages that directly
artillery fire against the adversaries
fortunately ender survived the gruesome
battle and is currently staying at
kaneohe bay us navy hospital to rest
with the aid of his pharmacist rita
enders eventually heals himself
especially his perforated eardrum caused
by the detonation
due to that rita takes him to the
sergeant after seeing enders being able
to stand up without any support
then after showing a marked improvement
in his hearing the sergeant shows
skepticism because he knows that ender's
equilibrium is all screwy but little
does the sergeant know rita is giving
enders a hand sign to dictate the answer
meanwhile yasi and whitehorse are busy
transcribing the message to which
whitehorse hastily finishes his task in
just seconds
on the other hand ender successfully
returns to active duty with the aid of
rita due to that he receives a new
assignment to protect navajo code talker
private yazi against the imperial
japanese army who is quickly busting
their codes
and since the u.s navy has developed a
new code based on the indian language
the general anoints enders to go to
great lengths to protect it and keep the
navajo code talkers alive
though ender's attempts to refuse the
order and favors to put him in core that
kill japanese soldiers he has left no
choice but to accept it
he is also instructed that he cannot
allow his code talker to fall into enemy
hands under no circumstances
technically ender's mission is to
protect the code aside from babysitting
yazi
due to that enders respectfully takes
the order and eventually carries a
promotion to be a sergeant in a jasco
later sergeant pete ox henderson
approaches enders to inform him that he
also receives a parallel assignment
protecting navajo code talker private
charlie whitehorse
however enders refuses to share his task
even though henderson already notices
the new stripe they both get in their
uniform indicating their position as a
sergeant
while talking anders and henderson
eventually see yazi and whitehorse
allowing them to introduce themselves
however it becomes apparent that the two
experienced marines are less than happy
to babysit their navajo code talkers
yet the innocent yazi still gives enders
a warm approach and introduces himself
while enders takes his meal
the following day gunner sergeant
informs the soldiers that they're going
to ship out tomorrow morning on the
island of saipan the mariana
it's their strategic importance to
capture the island as it's one of the
stepping stones they will take on the
roadshow to tokyo
so once it becomes a success they can
get themselves an advanced naval base
and airstrip to land within range of
tokyo
upon instructing the soldiers gunnery
sergeant draws the attention of yazi and
whitehorse to show themselves
on the other hand ender shows
unhappiness while gunnery sergeant
introduces him as a sergeant who will be
covering the navajos in the combat
afterward anders eventually excuses
himself in the meeting after having
disruptive thoughts regarding his
gruesome battle in the solomon islands
due to that yazi follows enters outside
once outside yazi immediately gives
enders some medicine to cope with his
headache yet he only receives insolence
from enders
so yazi has left no choice but to walk
out
later at night the marines sing their
national anthem while enders entertains
rita before he ships out by tomorrow
the following day the invasion of saipan
and the mariana islands becomes yah-zee
and white horse's first combat
experience together with the marines
charlie carefully follows henderson as
they run through the field on the other
hand enders orders yazi to stay behind
his back while putting himself as a
cover against the japanese soldiers
fortunately ender successfully kills the
attacking enemies and protects yazi
hiding behind his back
however in henderson's situation he
watches his men die as the japanese
soldiers hit them with their arisaka
rifles
due to that henderson quickly takes the
missile launcher to shoot their enemies
afterward enders proceeds to run through
the field to kill the remaining japanese
soldiers while yah zee on the other hand
is starting to get panicked as he covers
himself not to get shoot while attacking
the marines suddenly see an approaching
tank so private papas quickly throws a
grenade to destroy it
meanwhile enders orders harrigan to
light up his missile launcher to burn
the japanese tank in front of them
after that he commands yazi to relay the
coordinates he said as they gradually
take the beachhead from the japanese
army
due to that the u.s navy successfully
come under friendly fire from u.s
artillery afterward henders calls his
men to attack and get into another
japanese trench
later that night the marines camp in the
nearby village after enders
magnificently kills the remaining
japanese soldiers hiding in the bunker
the following day yazi takes an early
bath in the brook when suddenly private
chick attacks him for being an indian
due to that yazi endures racial
harassment like mockery and receiving
several punches from chick
luckily private papa sees it and
immediately soothes the tension between
them
afterward yazi talks to chick correcting
him about his race as navajo of the
bitter water people and not an engine
on the other hand ender scolds yazi for
not telling him that he'll take a bath
alone
eventually henderson and whitehorse find
themselves sharing the same interest in
the love of music
the following day the marines continue
their mission to attack while ender
still endures his perforated eardrum
despite taking rita's medicines
afterward enders notices yazi writing a
letter so he suddenly gets interested
upon knowing yazi's son allowing the
other marines to get intrigued with
yazi's family too
due to that enders and yazi's
relationship as partners gets closer
however the japanese troops suddenly
shoot their trucks while they're on
their way to the assigned location
resulting in the deaths of some marines
due to that enders shouts and orders
them to get out of the vehicles before
they even get killed
as they quickly move out enders
unexpectedly watches a group of marines
including yazi get hit enders
immediately approach him only to find
out that yazi's radio is destroyed and
the convoy cannot call off the
bombardment
after taking the radio bag from yazi
enders calms him down by clarifying that
the bomb didn't hit him
unfortunately enders find out that it
wasn't the japanese soldiers hitting
them but their comrades
due to that they have left no choice but
to spread out and get out of the field
because the japanese soldiers are nearly
coming
but little do they know the enemies
already surround them
once again enders loses another troop in
the battle resulting in yazi
volunteering himself by suggesting that
he'll disguise himself as a japanese
soldier once he wears their enemies
uniform
technically yazi will attempt to slip
behind the japanese lines to commandeer
a radio and call off their guns
however enders refuses to agree with his
idea because yazi is his responsibility
but gunner sergeant interrupts enders
and orders him to let jazi talk
leaving him no choice enders finally
permits yazi to do his idea and deals to
make him his prisoner
as enders and yazi move out gunner
sergeant immediately positions the troop
to get ready as they wait for the signal
seconds later gunner sergeant uses the
telescope to check on yazi and enders
only to find out they have entered their
enemy's base
so gunner sergeant shouts signaling the
troops to attack while yazi is baiting
the japanese soldiers with his plan
after enders lets the japanese soldiers
beat him he immediately takes the gun
inside yazi's bag and shoots all their
enemies
afterward he orders yazida fire
due to that yazi forces himself to kill
for the first time before he could
redirect u.s artillery fire onto the
japanese position
fortunately yazi successfully sends a
message to their comrade to a ceasefire
because they're shelling marines not the
enemies
due to that the marines redirect the
fire to the base of japanese soldiers
and efficaciously turn down the enemies
later enders receives a silver star
award and is recommended for
commendation by the commanding officer
due to his bravery
shocked enders points out yazi and says
he couldn't have done it without his
partner despite getting ignored for his
role yazi still smiles as enders proudly
reveals yazi's idea to save the marines
later at night the marines another camp
in the nearby village and enders drinks
a bottle of alcohol to celebrate their
victory
however he suddenly hallucinates upon
getting back to his tent so yazi
immediately supports him and takes
enters to his tent
the following day the marines proceed on
their next mission to reach the nearby
village of tanepog
once they reach the village yasi
suddenly visits enders inside the
japanese shelter wherein he gently takes
care of a mother and her sick son
as they talk they eventually discover
that they have much in common notably
their catholic upbringing
due to that yazi invites enders to come
out to navajo country once the war is
over
unfortunately their comrade interrupts
the conversation and announces that yazi
needs to code a message back to the
command post
the following day ender speaks with
gunnery sergeant to demand a mast with
the battalion commander because he wants
to get out
however gunnery sergeant denies his
request resulting in ender's getting
aggressive as he pushes gunnery sergeant
against the wall
meanwhile harrigan notices a young girl
crying so he tries to give her a piece
of candy to calm down when suddenly the
japanese troops ambush their village
shooting harrigan as he tries to protect
her
due to that enders has left no choice
but to shoot harrigan to end his
suffering from burning
meanwhile henderson eventually gets
stabbed by a japanese soldier using an
arisaka rifle
so he immediately gives his gun to white
horse when suddenly the japanese troops
surround them leaving henderson no
choice but to protect the code talker as
the japanese soldier slits his throat
using the samurai
due to that henderson gets killed while
whitehorse is about to get captured to
interrogate him
fortunately ender sees white horse
getting beaten and dragged away by the
japanese so he quickly runs toward the
area and hides behind the wall while
watching white horse and during the pain
anders then realized that the japanese
soldiers will torture white horse for
the code so he immediately thinks of an
idea enders takes out a grenade and
throws it at white horse killing him and
his captors for their code safety
after the ambush yazi returns to tanapog
only to find out that white horse is
dead after seeing his corpse
shocked yazi eventually cries as he
mourns his friend's death then screams
it enters to explain how the japanese
soldiers invaded the village when the
place is supposed to be a secured area
anxious enters mutters while admitting
that he killed whitehorse though he
leaves the part where white horse was
willing to die to protect the code
because he thinks yazi couldn't accept
the truth
due to that yazi gets mad and aims his
weapon it enters but cannot bring
himself to kill him for he can't imagine
resorting to killing to get an act of
revenge
later the marines start marching on the
road and enders takes it as an
opportunity to confess that he hated
having to kill white horse but he has
left no choice because the mission was
to protect the code above all else
enders also reveals to yazee that if one
of the code talkers like him gets caught
and talked to the code would be useless
after the talk private papas approaches
enders to inform him that gunnery
sergeant wants to see him
once he reaches the headquarters enders
finds out that the marines are tasked to
mobilize another mission because the
eighth is moving out already
so technically mount tapikaw will be
there last before claiming that saipan
is already theirs
after the marines begin their mission to
get on the mountain
however the marines noticed that mount
tapikao has a deadly minefield leaving
them no choice but get out of their
trucks and walk instead
due to that chick leads the marching
when suddenly they are getting ambushed
by the japanese troops again
unfortunately the majority of the
marines get killed by the shooting and
explosives in the deadly minefield
outraged enders immediately orders his
men to move out and save themselves
against the enemies
afterward they position themselves on
the ground and find out that the eighths
are moving in
so enders informs them to check out the
other side immediately
still enraged over the death of white
horse yazi refuses to wait for ender's
permission and charges the japanese line
on his own
due to that enders quickly follows him
only to find out how mad yah zee is to
the extent that he mercilessly shoots
all the japanese soldiers
with only enders yazi chick and papa's
left they decide to take cover on a
ridge as they see japanese artillery
fire from the top of the ridge attacking
marine convoys below their position
enders then commands the team to cover
him as he gets the radio because yazi
fumbles it earlier
it's a vital weapon needed for a call to
coordinate a bombardment
however a japanese soldier hastily takes
it first making yazi continuously attack
the enemies all by himself
unfortunately he accidentally stabs
enders while defending himself from the
japanese
so enders finally ends the tension
between them and says that his outrage
won't bring white horse back
eventually yah zee and enders decide to
reconcile however ender suddenly gets
shot when he attempts to retrieve the
radio
so yazi immediately approaches him but
the japanese soldier shoots him too
but fortunately ender still gets the
radio and gives it to yazi ordering him
to call in an airstrike on the japanese
artillery
after decoding ender supports yazi to
get out of the field only to find out
that they are getting surrounded by the
japanese
due to that yazi and treats enders to
kill him because the japanese will
surely capture and torture him for the
code just like how they almost did with
his friend white horse
however enders refuses to follow his
orders and manages to carry yazi to
safety because of his determination that
no one else will die in the battle
seconds later the friendly planes timely
arrive and destroy the japanese position
in mount tapikao allowing yazi to
rejoice in their success
however enders fails to survive after
getting mortally wounded
the movie ends with yazi returning to
the u.s without white horse and enders
so he brings his wife and son george
instead they sit atop point mesa in
monument valley to watch yazzie's
performance
from there yasi wears the sacred
necklaces and other navajo ceremonial
dresses to perform their ritual to pay
respect to enders then in the epilogue
it is revealed that the navajo code was
never broken and became vital to
america's success during world war
