    Thanks. A local perspective would be great. Us Yanks don't know much about the history of your area during that time (or contemporary matters).

    One thing I forgot to mention. One of the songs played both instrumentally and sung by one of the actors is Danny Boy. They do a really interesting version where the tune is sung partly in English and partly in Maori. Very nice.

    On Danny Boy: The wikipedia says that the tune "Londonderry Air" was around during the period of the film, but the words "Danny Boy" were written in 1910 by an Englishman in the United States.

    I don't mind artistic license, but I like to know when it is being taken.
