In Reply to: Once Were Warriors: what a powerful movie! posted by thekingpin on May 14, 2002 at 12:18:04:
Now he's directing typical Hollywood hack films like "The Edge", "Along Came A Spider", and the next James Bond flick.Rena Owen and Temeura Morrison were something special to watch in "Once Were Warriors."
Follow Ups:
If I were a so-called Hollywood actress-"contendah" (Halle Berry, Helen Hunt, lame list goes on), I'd have been embarassed as hell to watch performances like these and hold that statuette in good conscience.I didn't even know that Lee Tamahori directed it. It was about 15 minutes in when I started watching, and then it got me hooked. Why do all great films have that "intangible" thing where you're pulled in no matter which part you caught it? It's like an "air/aura" around the movie :) Hmmmm...
...he's directing boring commercial fare in the USA. Once Were Warriors is one of my favorite Kiwi films, along with The Navigator, An Angel at My Table, and Heavenly Creatures. All great stuff.Maybe Tamahori will make a personal film again...especially now that (thanks to Peter Jackson) New Zealand is "hot".
Life would be much less happy at Casa Harmonia without Independent Film Channel.
