i know i've seen a few people comment on this GEM of a movie, but i didn't see a topic about it. i LOVED this movie!!! what a surprise you say, NO! not true. ehehehhe this was one of those movies that leaves you feeling uplifted and transported to a magical place of beauty thats so different from your own experience that it's like discovering a new country with fascinating customs and beautiful people. i hope people take the time to go see this movie, it's a feel good movie and quite out of the ordinary. TWO thumbs up!! |

i saw it over a month ago. it was indeed a good film. very real; no tacky acting or special effects. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i heard it was quite good. it was in the seattle international film festival but i missed it.. |
||||||||
|
|

i'm sure it will be available for RENT! make sure and check it out if you can. i'm hoping it gets released on DVD, it's one of those movies that i'd love to own. the music is great as well, lots of native singing. you're right pachi, it seemed like REAL people to me, not a fake moment in the entire movie. that young actress was soo pretty and talented. i hope she gets to act in a lot of other GOOD movies! |

actually, yeah i saw it and it's very nice, i like "rabbit proof fence" a tad more, just for the sake of those rare beutiful moments both visually and lyriclly. There young girl from whale rider was asked in an interview if she'd like to act again and she menitoned something about being a regular person, and not dealing with crowds. so yes, these actors are in tune with thier charcters in that they do live the lifestyle to certain extent. igu |

this film is also, i running joke for my friends and I, cause everytime we see each other, we ask one another if they have seen it yet because my girlfiend was forced into seeing it like four or five times due to one reason or another. hehe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
areyou guys serious? I saw this in the theatre and said to my friend that we should go see it as a joke... not being serious at all... doesn't sound too appealing to me personally... as far as rabbit-proof fence... I didn't like the movie much, but the soundtrack is awesome! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i said it was nice, not brill... i look to godard, herzog, et al. for serious fun. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

funk! you should REALLY give this movie a chance. it's something that will really make you feel great after watching it! not many movies can do that. rabbit proof fence and it's soundtrack are brill as well.......i need to get that soundtrack! you aussies have a lot of interesting stories to tell......Gallipoli is another of my favourite movies from down yonder as well. i like learning something new about different parts of the world. i think all three of these movies open your eyes to things that not familiar. |

"once we were warriors" is one of the saddest films i've ever seen.. it's NOTHING like "the crocodile hunter"!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn i totally forgot that movie.....and i couldn't agree more. this movie also deals with the maori people, but in a more uplifting way. Once We Were Warriors is a must see!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i just saw the whale rider and i liked it a lot... its very very cool there are depressing and uplifting moments cos if it was only depressing stuff it would be just too much to take hehe i loved those scenes where her uncle is teaching her one one side, and then those emotional scenes with her grandfather on the other... no need to mention how bautiful new zealand is :) and i saw "once were warriors" for couple of times already, and will probably see it again cos it is another great film |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Well I work at a movie theatre so I get to go for free, but I don't thionk we even have this movie right now. If we get it later on, I'll probably check it out.. I've been watching so many depressing movies lately I need something uplifting, methinks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
can you name some depressing ones please? :) |
||||||||
|
|

you only post about movies, LeCoeur... why? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a lot about movies not just movies :) you dont like films or what? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, now you're making me trudge up the memories! =P I dunno, I've just been watching movies like Requiem for A Dream, Blow, and the like. Generally movies about people's dreams being ruined and their lives fucked up.. you know, feel good movies =D |

I really like films. But just posting about movies... I'm not sure she used to be that way. something has changed. |
||||||||

|
|
i'm SO glad you were able to CATCH this film!!! i bought the DVD, it's a fantastic movie i was so surprised by how it affected me. i loved the soundtrack and thought about getting it, but after seeing the review on amazon decided it was better just to get the movie since apart from the movie visuals the soundtrack would be wanting! key....i have NO idea what you're talking about.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I saw it and it was moving. I think the score made a huge difference though and it did pick up as the movie progressed. I think I've become a bit movie numb these days as the more movies you watch the less impact the whole experience seems to have. |

i see A LOT of movies, but i have not reached the NUMB level yet! =0) btw i'm looking for two of your threads as i listened to TWO not just one of your tracks!!! =0) review to come |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i didnt notice music that much, it goes very nice with the senes (visuals) from what i can remember, im certanly going to pay more attention to music when i watch it next time (i have it on divx hehe) and see if i dig the music...lately i bought quite some soundtracks/scores so perhaps i might like this one as well. i remember music fitting really well to those scenes of whales under water - just excellent... i read some info after seeing the film, and apperantly that young actress is only 13 years old!?, which is really surprising cos she was excellent, especially in that scene where she has the speech (she wrote for grandfather) infront of those people... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she was EXCELLENT, and it's apparently her FIRST film. i loved learning more about the culture.....and the first thing after seeing the movie i wanted the soundtrack. i almost ORDERED it that day, but again the review made me reconsider. i love WHALE song....and i guess thats one of the things that really caught my attention. Lisa Germanno (spelling) sang the end song, she's the woman that sang that beautiful song on the Gladitor Soundtrack! i recoginzed her voice too. |

What threads? The threads titles begin with "My first ever track online!", "My second ever track online!" etc etc. I'll try and locate them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i found them...i wanted to post on the proper thread with the song that i listened to! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh right. I've put another post up on the thread entitled 'My first ever track online!' about some of the most lauded trax I've posted up. I can't find the original threads either but if you can that'd be excellent. |

"There's a whale! There's a whale! There's a whale-fish!" he cried and the whale-was-in-full-view... ;) |

i didn't think so much of it. |

"I saw this in the theatre and said to my friend that we should go see it as a joke..." *makes mental note never to trust Funks views on films* |

Its Lisa Gerrard that did the soundtrack, she's done quite a few and she used to be in the band Dead Can Dance (on 4AD records - Coctea Twins etc)). Her music is amazing, if you liked her music for the film definately check out her other works. |

this film was pretty decent.... the little girl was probably one of the best young actors i've ever seen... and it was pretty... nothing fantabulous, but definitely worth seeing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
decent movie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i don't know how long it's been on dvd for, but people should check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, and you only rate it 3/5? don't think that's worht buying a dvd for :) |
||||||||
|

rent. |

i got divx for free :) |

|
|
shit quality. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i prefer substance over quality, but yeah, im sure dvd is way better, if only it wasn't that expensive :( anyway, i saw it in the teathre the first time and i usually decide whether im going to get the dvd or not the first time i see a flick...in this case i decided not to get it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i prefer seeing art as the artist wants it to be seen. the theatre argument cancels everything out, though. |
||||||||

aawwww I though LeCoeur was back for a sec =o( |
