I love action movies and war movies, especially war movies. Intense scenes and twisting plots are featured within most war movies. The lives of soldiers will always be a strong story line. Now, there is one more film to add to my favourite movie collection, TAMA TU directed by Taika Waititi. We all know how war movies go: Guns, bombs, planes, tanks, medical teams and refugees. Blood, pain and death are essential. But this film is different from other war movies I have seen. Does it have better sound effects? A special twisting plot? I don't think so.
The story begins in 1943. Six patrol soldiers from the 28th Maori battalion are waiting for a good opportunity to move forward. When a crow flies away, they start to run and check each intersection before they pass through. When they arrive at a ruined Italian home, they leave Paki(Mark Ruka) to stand guard at the window while the others take off their helmets and have a rest. During that time they are making jokes and laughing to try to ease the pressure of the war around them. The soldier Pete(Taungaroa Emile) switches places with Paki. With his sniper rifle he looks for enemies and anything that indicates danger.. After a little while, the crow joins them inside and then flies away. As time passes, the six soldiers pray together and then leave the house immediately to go back into combat.
There is no dialogue in the film, therefore some people may not understand the film's message. TAMA TU has sounds, actions and shooting techniques, but no dialogue. Some people watching the film may find the lack of dialogue difficult to cope with. Others might find it an advantage having no dialogue in the film because it can give them more ways of imagining - they will think about what the characters do, where they go and how they feel. This gives more freedom for audiences to react to this film in different ways. The faces, body language and the authentic looking costumes and guns lead us to believe that we are seeing
