Would like to see a movie about Polynesians crossing the ocean


Supposedly, entire communities used to cross the Pacific in large fleets, carrying families, food, animals, etc. If someone could spend hours watching the interminably dull "Life of Pi" or "Castaway", one could certainly make a good story about a Polynesian tribe, their life at home, and their eventual arrival in Hawaii, etc.

I don't think either Life of Pi or Castaway were dull at all , in fact I love both those movies, but I would also definitely be interested in seeing what you are proposing.

You might enjoy either the documentary Kon Tiki, or the narrative "remake" with actors that came out a few years ago.
Both films are about Thor Heyerdahl's ideas on seaborne population migrations in the Pacific.

...and Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice, whenever he's away
