More than 20 years ago a WW II vet told me about the Navajo code talkers (not wind talkers). When the movie came out, it was advertised as being about the Navajo code talkers.
After watching a little over half the movie on video, I shut it off. It was basically Nick Cage being a one man army, fighting the whole Jap army alone. At least that's how it felt. Seems every seen was Cage running through a battle area shooting Japs left and right.
If the movie had been released under a different title, it may not have been as bad. Because it was advertised a the story of the "wind talkers", it was very disappointing to find it just another war movie.
It's a wonder the Navajo nation didn't go on the war path against this one.

Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Milton Berle, Burns and Allen, etc., etc. Will there ever be others that will equal them? I doubt it. Their shows were meant to entertain, not to push a political agenda as so many programs seem to do today.
As I understand, Red had several offers to do other television work but turned them down because he was expected to "modernize" his comedy, which he refused to do. Good for you Red! Shows were not flashy. There was no loud distracting music. Just pure comedy entertainment.
The dvds or videos should be part of the collection of anyone who loves a good laugh.
