Porourangi

Porourangi, in the film, is an artist. In the novel, we don’t really know what he is, but there are times when the book mentions he is off with Koro fighting for the Maori’s. Why an artist? What’s the perception?

  1. Artists usually have the ability to see everything in multiple views, so I think they chose an artist because Porourangi was important to the Maori tribe, because he was Koro's first son. Porourangi is Kahu's dad, so he obviously loved her, even though she was a girl, but he still was a traditional Maori man. He still believed in Maori traditions, but could accept that it's okay to have a girl chief.

  2. I think that they put him as an artist, because one he had to explane to every one that he was going to be a father to a new child and two I think they did it to give a reason way he left in the being in the movie.

  3. I have no idea why they changed him, but I really hated it. It made him seem like such a horrible father in the movie. Always being gone and having a wife that not even Kahu knew about. I am really dissapointed in the way they portrayed him, that and he looked horrible with his hair cut.

  4. I think that they might have changed it so that he had a better reason to be off in Europe so that Ana can be pregnant and all that. I wish that they wouldn't have changed it.
