Not enough recognition for Navajo efforts in helping Allies win the war!

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2005)

I liked this film since Nicolas Cage and Christian Slater were the perfect choices to star in such war/action films like this one. However I strongly believe that the Navajo people weren't given enough credit for all their efforts in both the film and in real life. Of course if it hadn't have been for the Navajos coming up with that code in the first place, the Americans would have been more exposed to the Allies' enemies and thus allowing them to be defeated more easily. This is only how the way I see it. But what the real problem is that the Allies never saw the Navajos as the real true heroes that they were since it was them who practically won the war for them anyway! Unfortunately you'll never hear about the contributions the Navajo made during the war because just like back in those days, the white American mentality of Natives being "savages" are still too deeply embedded in their minds.
But....... ANYWAYS.......... this is why I've chosen to give this film a 7 out of 10.
