Most disappointing movie ever

Rating: 2/10 (25 February 2007)

The aerial photography of Monument Valley was fabulous. The rest of the movie, probably, disappointed me more than any film I have ever seen. How could they botch such a great story? Why did they make the protagonist a white guy? Why did they stick to the regular formula for war stories? What a mess! The writers should be shot. And John Woo has amends to make to Native Americans.
I think Mr. Woo can purge himself of this sin by telling the natural sequel to this story. Leslie Marmon Silko wrote a wonderful book called CEREMONY which tells the story of a Laguna tribesman - a veteran of the War in the Pacific - whose PTSD disabilities are not healed until he immerses himself back into his culture. A screenplay based on the book, told with conviction would make a great movie!
I hope someone can get this suggestion to John Woo. He'll never get into Heaven without compensating for WINDTALKERS.
