    Default Re: Funny realization occured...

    The one film that made me almost pass out from how dumb it was. Wind Talkers, with Nicholas Cage.

    The army used a native American language to dispatch coded messages to HQ since all their other codes were intercepted and deciphered by Nazi Germany and Japan during WWII.

    This movie had people risking their lives to have these "Code Capable" men dispatch these "Secret" and indecipherable codes for the stupidest reasons. Such as requesting an artillery strike on a fortified position, in which this strike will arrive in under a minute.

    Because within 1 minute, the enemy will be able to evacuate their fortified position of hundreds of men if the transmission was given in any language but this hard to crack code. Such stupidity...


    As a side note...while watching this Narnia...the commander ordered a full scale retreat and I thought to myself "But you will take heavy losses when turning your back on the enemy" haha.

    Then I almost fell out of my chair when I saw they retreated into a valley where they have archers perched on top...why not fight their in the first place rather than battle on an open field while outnumbered.

    I think I'm an ass for going so harshly on this children's movie hehe
