Rewrite:The Orator.
I thought this visual text would be a perfect idea for my rewrite, since it's a definite post-colonial based Movie as well as the fact that the main character in this movie himself is very Quiet in a lot of ways. The movie is all in Samoan, based in Samoa and is produced and directed by a Samoan as well. Saili, (main character) is given a hard time about being a Dwarf and the size he is in the village. However he shows throughout the movie that he is not intimidated at all by others , with the help and encouragement from his wife who unfortunately passes away towards the end because of a bad sickness she had. After being anointed to become one of many chiefs of the village , he didn't step up to his title until the day he went to his wife's family village to claim her body back respectfully for himself to bury at their home. A lot of cultural aspects is taken into place in this movie but what I wanted to re-write about particularly were parts where Saili would sit down quietly and just think to himself. I will , if possible bring out what his thoughts are during those times.
This is awesome. I haven't actually seen the movie yet but I've heard a lot about it. Excited to read your re-write.
