more than war

In an era of peace, people come to recall these wars, not only for politics and diplomacy, but also for hand-to-hand combat to seize a few pieces of land. People add more humanistic thinking to the war in their memories.
"Windtalkers" is not just about war, it is more about feelings, comrades, friends, relatives, lovers, etc., as well as the communication and integration between ethnic groups, and the care of those innocent refugees in Japan is also devoted to humanity.
The United States is a melting pot. Different skin colors, different customs, and different languages ​​constitute its colorfulness, but it is also one of the sources of its contradictions. And the film seems to be designed to tell people that America is victorious, and America's greatness is also gained by Americans of different races with death and blood.

    Harrison is a sinner. Although he knows that this is a package of American heroism, he still wants to say that little Japan is really not a thing!

    Dedicated to the great and mysterious Navajo code that has not yet been deciphered. In the transition between the long-term view of the war and the close-up view, the whole film is filled with the violent aesthetics of director Wu Yusen. And Uncle Cage's acting skills were so good that people want to cry. In fact, I prefer the combination of white horse and bull, "harmony". The scenery of the Grand Canyon echoes from end to end, but it's a pity that people's fate is not.
