Very minor, but don't want to make anyone mad.
I got this as an email from someone I don't even know. I'm not 100% sure why.
------------------------
I just saw Windtalkers tonight. (WWII film, John Woo, Nic Cage)
Here are twelve things I learned from Windtalkers.
Later,
Duff
1. ALL Japanese soldiers die in slow motion.
2. The best way to show a rite of passage in the protagonist is for him to
give pain killers to a young Japanese girl with a mortal head wound.
3. Christian Slater should have died in Broken Arrow.
4. Every U.S. soldier should be equipped with a Navajo knife. That sucker
killed plenty an enemy.
5. With one shot, a handgun can kill six Japanese soldiers at once a
hundred yards away.
6. Parts of Japan look remarkably like California.
7. Doves do live in Japan and congregate in large numbers.
8. The token racist of the movie always realizes the error in his ways and
gives a heartfelt speech right before he's shot.
9. John Woo REALLY likes guns.
10. Even though a person is on fire, it is best to unload an entire clip
into them to make sure they are dead.
11. Peter Stormare gives really good death scenes. Hopefully, we'll see his
in the deleted scenes on the Windtalkers DVD.
12. When Nic Cage says that no one else is gonna die, he means it.
And the most memorable line from Windtalkers:
(paraphrased by me, of course)
"I remember once I was on the beach and a beautiful girl asked me if I
wanted to go to a weenie roast. Now I'm roastin' Japs. War sucks."
