Hunt for the Winderpeople Review

 Hunt for the Wilderpeople Review

This film was released on the 31 of March 2016 all around NZ, but it was normally premiered on January 22, 2016 at the Sundance Film Festival. The characters in the film were Bella, Hec, Ricky, Paula, Psycho Sam, Kahu, Tk and many more. The main characters were mainly Hec and Ricky.

There once a kid named Ricky. He doesn’t really have a home that he can go and settle in. Ricky was a troublesome child who would always break the rules doing illegal things like vandalizing, street painting, stealing and  more . One day he was adopted by Bella who was also abandoned and no home to return to before in the countryside. Bella also has a husband named Hec who didn’t really want to adopt Ricky in the first place, however Bella was a nice person and decided to adopt Ricky since she doesn’t want other people feeling they're alone without a settled family and home. 

Once Ricky finally settled in, a terrible accident happened. Bella died without us knowing the reason and that caused a lot of trouble. The child welfare shared the news to the uncle (Hec) that he will be going back again to the orphanage. Ricky didn’t like that, he thought that when he was just about to settle in, in one comfortable place and now they are taking him away again. Ricky decided to run away and faked his death that failed terribly. 

Ricky went into the bushes where Hec found him and they started to argue with each other which caused Hec to sprain his ankle.  Ricky wasn’t really helpful too. They settled in one place so that Hec’s sprained ankle won’t hurt or slow them down.  Once they started to get back into walking. Hec taught him some ways to use the gun but it wasn’t really that helpful. 

On their way into the bushes they found a house and went inside it, however while they were inside trying to cook and find food, three men came into the house clamming that house is theirs, This caused a lot of trouble since they were wanted, Ricky said some stuff that made it sound so wrong even though that was not he meant so those three guys thought Hec was a perverted pedophile guy that who is with Ricky. 

They got away from them however the people who were trying to find them found their location and now, they’re not just on the run but also trying to hide from them in the bushes and while on it they found a nice guy who is kind of weird but helped them hind for the meantime and while they were hiding Ricky kind of wondered off around the bushes and found a cabin and found a guy with a half dead guy on its bed. I forgot to mention he was also with Hec. Anyways they were searching for food when they found the half dead guy and tried finding a person who can help them to bring the guy to an hospital. Ricky found a girl and asked her for help but ended up staying in that girls house for the night.When he got back he realized that the police know where they are and the guy who helped them to find a place even helped them use the car to get away from the police and the child welfare.  While they were on the run with the car, they got into an open space where the police can surround them and helicopters can see them clearly. Right now you won’t believe what I will say but it was Ricky who was driving the car instead of Hec because Hec doesn’t know how to drive a car! Even though they’ve got a car they still kind of didn’t manage to escape all the and got captured at the very end. 

However after all of those chaotic event that have happened, Ricky found a nice loving home he can come home to and Hec also got out of the prison and Ricky and Hec finally warmed up with each other they also started to wander around in the bushes again to find some evidence that a Huia birds are not yet extinct. 

I really enjoyed watching it because at first it looked really boring but while it was on going everything is starting to get exciting and more intense and stuff like that! Taika Waititi really did a great job making this wonderful film or movie we have watched because you can feel so many emotions along with the characters in the film when they’re acting!

If I would recommend this to someone, I would recommend it to my dad since he has been really into watching movies these days and I think he would like this one just like how I liked watching it! 10/10 if I would rate this movie.
