Chief of War, Jason Momoa and Thomas Paia Sibbet Series Jason Momoa, Lucian Buchanan, Temoera Morrison, Te A.

With whom?

Mostly, with the interpretation of Polynesian actors, the head of the war first tells Hawaiian union and colonization at the end of the 18th century. Jason Momoa portrays the Kaiana warrior, who struggles as much as possible to stop the madness of the Kaekil Chief’s war and simultaneously disrupt colonization after seeing “another world”.

Chef Kekil, power and blood thirst, explains the impressive Temuera Morrison (Jango Fett then Boba Fett), which we find in a completely different day, far from Star Wars Universe. His vision of the unification of the Hawaiian kingdoms? By murdering all kings and killing the population.

The fans of the night agent recognize Lucian Buchanan, who performs the daughter of the chief, Kahumanu, promising a great fate and Kaiana’s ally. We are also happy to find Cliff Curtis, the eternal auxiliary role and the safe meaning of Hollywood and here, another great evil. Less known to the general public, Te Ao O Hinepeinga, Kaina Makua or even the Mosaic Items of this very beautiful distribution.

Is it worth the website?

Jason Momoa offers a war head lesson lesson about epic history. It also turns out that this project is in a new light, which has been performing for more than ten years. There is Already three yearsHe presented his series as his brave or his last Mohicans. This is to say where he puts his ambition … and he is right!

Here it involves co-creator hats with Thomas Pa-Sibbet, co-authored by each episode, producer, chief actor and finally the last episode director.

When you first meet Kaiana, it’s marginal. He lives with a small limited group with another Maui community that is not her. From the first pictures he imposed his style and his character. With a demonstration that is better than long speech: he catches the shark with bare hands using a rope and root, which he blew on his branches to anesthesia. It puts you guy.

When he led a humble and quiet existence, he is convinced to regain the service – a warrior – about the invasion of the prophecy that will cause Hawaiian to unite. It was the main cake (Temuera Morrison), which comes to get it, but at its expense, Kaiana realizes that she was stupid. He was skillfully used to prove the massacre …

Really unique series

This is more or less what you can find in the first two episodes of the series. If you decide to look at it in the original version, you will not be able to do without subtitles. The chief of war has this wonderful courage to offer two whole episodes in Hawaiian. Published for American production.

And this concern for authenticity travels throughout the series. This drama is based on real facts and special care has been taken at the presentation of the authentic version of this little famous story. Where Hollywood has been used to stories in terms of European and American invaders, Jason Momoa makes the camera other protagonists and gives them the floor. He tells them with passion, excitement and far away from the reduced and paternalistic stories we have seen in the past.

The series is caused by Polynesian cultural practices, but it is also full of universal elements that are specific to action and adventure films, in particular political machinations that regularly cause violence, skillfully choreographic and often staggering. In this sense a small warning is required. Battle scenes are identified with absolute cruelty … even the least sensitive souls can be grated.

Later, the story calms (a little) and continues to offer a history that is worthy of the greatest Western epics, except that all protagonists are Hawaiian. The welcome change of perspective.

The first two episodes of the head of the war are now available in Apple TV+, followed by one episode per week.
