As a Native American (half), I think that it was important to tell this story. I was pleased to see that they used real Native Americans(instead of latinos or white men with deep tans); and (SPOILER?) I especially liked the scene when Ben Yahzee is explaining to Cage that he too is there to fight for his country. I think that one of the main reasons that war movies are made is to teach people about war, which is what make movies such as Saving Private Ryan so good (since it was so realistic). Furthermore, war movies have already been made from so many different points of view (American, Japanese, Russian...), and I think that it was time to tell the story of the Navajo who made winning the war possible. However, I do think that the action scenes could have been much better. One might to better to watch one of the documentaries made about the subject rather that watch Windtalkers (which focuses more on Cage than on the Navajo).
