hunt down barbarians

An abandoned child of an orphanage found a dilapidated and chaotic family for adoption, but he didn't want to meet a fat aunt and uncle who had similar tastes. A warm house, a quilt with a hot water bottle, and a proper bookshelf, everything seems to be transforming.
But the fat aunt died suddenly, and the bad uncle and the little boy still looked down on each other. Coupled with the words of the fat aunt before his death, "She came from a wonderful lake in the bushes, that is the place where heaven began, and she will be sprinkled there when she dies", the little boy absconded with his ashes.
The next day, the bad uncle found the lost child in the bushes. Since then, the plot has entered the right path. Their hunting careers and survival in the wilderness correspond to the "barbarians" in their names, but I don't think there are too many bright spots here. During this period, I met a few crazy freaks, strange and nonsensical. little funny until the end of the movie.
Throughout the whole film, the main core point is the "little boy's rebellion", and he likes this exciting state of being hunted down. "I didn't choose the gang life, it was the gang life that chose me." I always feel that New Zealand films are still superficial and only care about the plot, not the deep inner. The viewing experience is not as good as the ratings and legends.

    Facts have proved that outdoor sports can't lose weight (I lie back comfortably after talking).

    Basically different from all the movies I've seen before, it's a completely subversive genre. The savage madness of New Zealand’s indigenous people is revealed from the bones, and it is also reflected in the audio-visual language. It is rough but rough enough, and it is a masterpiece.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Ricky Baker: I ran out of toilet paper, give me some of yours.

    Hec: Eh?

    Ricky Baker: I've gotta poop. I need to poop, you need to poop, we all poop.

    Hec: Use a leaf.

    Ricky Baker: A leaf? Ugh! I hate you.

    [Ricky walks away]

    Hec: And bury it!

    Ricky Baker: I'll bury you.

  • Hec: You can take him, but I'm staying here.

    Hugh: Like hell. People want answers.

    Ron: Yeah, answers.

    Hec: Look, we got lost, I got injured, he's fine, it was basically a holiday.

    Ricky Baker: Not a real holiday because he made me do stuff.

    Hugh: Like what?

    Ricky Baker: Just stuff. He had a sore leg so he made me do things for him. It was hard at first because my hands are so soft, but I got used to it. I didn't really wanna do it, but it was the only way to survive. It wasn't always hard, sometimes I got to do my own thing. He pretty much never joined in with me though. I asked if he wanted to play with me, but he would just make me play with myself.

    Ron: I feel sick.
