The
film Windtalkers by John Woo is a film about empire. In one sense it shows two
empires that were fighting for the western world in World War II. The main
point of Windtalkers is to show what those at the bottom of an empire can
expect from the people who rule and manage the empire. In the film indigenous
people of this territory called the United States helps to defeat German Nazis
by using their language. The Nazis could never break the code of the indigenous
peoples. As you watch the indigenous people kill and bleed for the U. S. you
wonder why they would fight for a people that tried to wipe them off of the
earth. We also know that nothing has been done by anyone to benefit the peoples
who maintained this beautiful land until outsiders came. Watch Windtalkers by
John Woo to see who you should fight for.
