- Das_Lama4 juli 2025I actually liked this movie and its premise. My opinion is apparently in the minority based on other reviews. Navajo is apparently a very difficult language to learn. I met a native Navajo speaker and was told that even the slightest change or inflection can change the whole meaning of the word or sentence.

Under andra världskriget lyckades japanerna gång på gång dechiffrera de amerikanska, krypterade, militära radiosändningarna, vilket på ett allvarligt sätt bromsade USA:s framryckningar. Till sist, 1942, rekryterades flera hundra Navajoindianer till marinkåren och tränades att använda en hemlig militär kod baserad på deras eget språk. Dessa marinsoldater kallades "kodtalare". Deras kod visade sig vara den enda som japanerna aldrig knäckte, och den anses ha varit avgörande för att vinna kriget.
