olineham may be interested to
discover that he is yet another person to be
fooled by
Peter Jackson's '
forgotten silver'
documentary.
The documentary by New Zealand
director Peter Jackson (currently directing the highly anticipated
Lord of the Rings trilogy), is a complete
farce, and makes fun of the insecureities that many New Zealanders have that they are being somehow
oppressed by bigger counties like the US and Australia. Among other amasing
revelations, the documentary shows how the first colour
motion picture film was invented by a New Zealander - made with
eggs (which he
stole). In fact, not only did we beat the
Wright brothers to
powered flight, but one of our film directors (who somehow nobody knew of untill now) died during the filming of a
Ben Hur sized
epic, and the entire set was lost somewhere in New Zealand's
lush forests. Fortunatly, Peter Jackson and his crew were able to track it down for us, and had so many people believing him that he was forced to make a
public apology to the country.
I guess we don't like looking like
idiots either.
New Zealand is also a great place to live, and a beautiful place to visit. Yay for us.
