#1126 Mahana

Beitrag von Kasi Mir »

"Mahana" isn't Lee Tamahori's first saga about the Maori people he directed - in fact, his cinematic debut was the 1994 release "Once were Warriors", a story about the daily struggles of the Maori in contemporary New Zealand. Since then, he has worked mostly in and for Hollywood, directing films as diverse as "Mullholland Falls", "Along Came a Spider", "Die Another Day", and "xXx 2: State of the Union". With "Mahana", he returns to his homeland and once again adapts a novel ("Bulibasha: King Of The Gypsies"), this time by Witi Ihimeara, who also wrote "Wahle Rider". He also reteams with one of the leads from "Once Were Warriors", Temuera Morrison, who plays the head of the Mahana clan.

This is the trailer for "Mahana":



How did you like the film, which was certainly a change of pace from the previous few sneak movies? Did you enjoy the story, characters, and cinematography? Please write your thoughts about "Mahana" down as a reply to this posting - and please refrain from bringing horses to the auditorium. ;-)

Ich wollte heute morgen noch die richtigen Worte zu meiner abgegebenen Bewertung finden, aber langsam gebe ich die Suche lieber auf :lol: Im Prinzip eine relativ normale Familien Saga, nur eben aus Maori Sicht. Etwas kürzer hätte auch nicht geschadet, obwohl der Film gar nicht lang war, aber mir so vorkam ;) Auch hätte ich gerne mehr von dem wunderschönen Neuseeland gesehen, das ist mir einfach zu weit weg, um mir das mal persönlich anzusehen... Klingt viel negativer, als es gemeint ist, mdenn ich gebe dem Film eine 2-.
Peace, Roughale (aka Roughoul or AROHYOUGEEAGEAYELEE)
