Fictional, but goodHaving spent time on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) I learned that the Rapa Nui culture, customs, language and religion are virtually unknown. Only rough sketches can be determined from the archeological evidence. It has never been determined whether the cuture died because of conflict based on religion, social class inequities, ecological changes, or a combination of these. Thus, the movie's fabricated "culture" (which is the one generally offered to tourists visiting this mangificant island), is at best a guess. Nevertheless, the movie is entertaining and well worth viewing. It makes an interesting preview for anyone who might be visiting one of the most interesting places on earth..Score: 4/5

BirdmenThe birdmen of Easter Island, risked their lives for eggs and had a competition when the birds came to the island on their migratory flight the men had to run , jump off the cliff swim to the another small island where the birds are and there eggs. To make it interesting they have to go back now, not break it and not get eaten by sharks but the 1st one back got to marry the most beautiful girl on the island.....hhmmmm.Score: 5/5

Lange bevor ein holländischer Seefahrer 1722 die entlegendste, von Menschen besiedelte Insel der Welt entdeckte, spitzte sich die Situation auf der Osterinsel zwischen den herrschenden Langohr-Aristokraten und der Klasse der unterdrückten Kurzohr-Arbeiter dramatisch zu. Zur Feier der alljährlichen Rückkehr der Rußseeschwalben, die an den ersten König Hptu Matua erinnern, bestimmt jeder Langohr-Clan aus seinen Reihen ein Mitglied für einen gnadenlosen Wettkampf. Wer seinem Oberhaupt als erster das Gelege der Rußseeschwalben unversehrt bringt, ist Sieger und kürt seinen Häuptling damit ein Jahr zum Vogelmann, den mächtigsten Mann der Insel. Erfolgsproduzent Kevin Costner und Regisseur Kevin Reynolds erzählen die dramatischen Ereignisse um die beiden erbitterten Wettkämpfer Noro und Make, die für die Liebe einer Frau zu jedem Opfer bereit sind.

Italiano
Nel 1680, in un'isola sperduta del Pacifico il cui antico nome (Te-pito-o-te-Henua) significa "ombelico del mondo", si svolge la contrastata storia d'amore tra una fanciulla appartenente alla tribù dei Lobi Lunghi, i nobili responsabili dell'erezione di gigantesche statue (moai) a carattere religioso, e un giovane della tribù dei Lobi Corti, popolo di schiavi sfruttati per la loro costruzione. Il conflitto tra le due tribù sfocia in uno sterminio di massa: unici superstiti i due giovani e la bimba nata durante la sanguinosa rivolta.

Français
Rapa Nui est le nom de l'île la plus isolée du Pacifique Sud, découverte en 1722 par un navigateur hollandais et qui a abrité l'une des cultures les plus avancées de notre Histoire. Ce dernier donna à sa trouvaille le nom d'Île de Pâques. Mais les indigènes lui préfèrent toujours celui de Rapa Nui.

Español
En 1722, un holandés descubrió una isla en el Pacífico Sur, a la que sus habitantes llamaban Rapa Nui, pero él la bautizó como Isla de Pascua. Muchos años antes había tenido lugar en la isla un grave conflicto de carácter social: los Orejas Cortas constituían la clase inferior y construían estatuas por orden de los Orejas Largas, que eran los nobles. Como tales sólo los Orejas Largas tenían derecho a participar en la competición anual que determinaba quién sería el nuevo Hombre Pájaro. Pero uno de los jóvenes competidores del certamen se había enamorado de una muchacha de los Orejas Cortas. Ese amor sólo podría triunfar en el caso de que él superara las pruebas y ella accediera a pasar dentro de una cueva las lunas que faltaban hasta el día de la competición. (FILMAFFINITY)

Magyar
A Húsvét-szigetek törzsei életének bemutatása és a szobrok készítésének módja mellett fontos szerepet kap egy verseny is a filmben. A küzdelem a közeli sziklára érkező madarak első tojásának megszerzése, pontosabban egy tojás megszerzése és sértetlenül eljutni vele a szigetre. Aki hamarabb és sértetlenül megérkezik a domb tetejére, annak van joga átadni a tojást valakinek, aki ezáltal a madarak ura lesz a következő egy évre. A történet további érdekessége, hogy a különleges szobrok építéséhez felhasználták az összes fát, így nem maradt sem a főzéshez, sem a hajóépítéshez, így a törzsek nem tudták elhagyni a szigetet. A versenyen résztvevő fiatal tapasztalatlan versenyzőnek nem csak a madártojás megszerzése a tét, hanem a szerelme is, aki egy másik törzshöz tartozik. Mivel megnyeri a versenyt így szerelmét is megkapja, aki már az ő gyerekével várandós. A gyerek születését követően elhagyják a szigetet egy elrejtet csónakon amelyet a lány apja készített.

Polski
Akcja filmu toczy się na 42 lata przed odkryciem przez holenderskiego podróżnika Wyspy Wielkanocnej, która przez tubylców nazywana jest Rapa-Nui. Wówczas rdzenni mieszkańcy dzielili się na dwie grupy: rządzącą arystokrację Długich Uszu oraz plebs - Krótkie Uszy. Właśnie ci drudzy byli zmuszani do morderczej pracy przy rzeźbieniu ogromnych posągów, będących hołdem dla pierwszego osadnika, Hotu Matua. Według legendy, Hotu Matua miał pewnego dnia powrócić w białym kanoe. O jego obietnicy przypomina wysyłane co roku stado ptaków. Za każdym razem młodzi ludzie uczestniczą w wyścigu, którego celem jest zdobycie pierwszego złożonego przez nie jaja i dostarczenie go bez uszczerbku wodzowi. Stawka jest wysoka, bowiem zwycięzca obejmuje władzę na Rapa-Nui. Noro - wnuk obecnego wodza Ariki-Mau - chce wygrać, by przedłużyć rządy swego klanu i znieść zakaz zawierania mieszanych małżeństw.

Nederlands
Rapa Nui neemt u mee naar de jaren voor de officiële ontdekking van Paaseiland. Het eiland werd beroemd door de enorme mysterieuze uit steen gehouwen koppen en was bewoond door kanibalen, die dachten dat ze de enige bewoners van de wereld waren. Elk jaar vindt er tussen twee stammen een bizarre wedstrijd plaats. Het begint met een zwemtocht in een baai vol bloeddorstige haaien en eindigt aan de top van een steile rotswand. De winnaar is een jaar lang de Grote Leider. Ten tijde van deze strijd wordt een jongen van de ene stam verliefd op een meisje van de tegenstanders. Dat leidt tot een heftige confrontatie, waarbij beide stammen dood en verderf niet uit de weg gaan.

Pусский
Красиво снятый приключенческий фильм переносит нас на остров Пасхи. Тогда это был райский уголок земли, на котором начался острейший конфликт между двумя кланами островитян. Норо — парень из правящего клана длинноухих полюбил девушку из клана короткоухих — Раману, которую любил другой парень, их общий друг детства и тоже короткоухий Маке. Раз в год племена устраивают соревнования: кто доставит с соседнего острова целое птичье яйцо, тому и достанется девушка и он станет человеком-птицей, представителем местного бога.

한국어/조선말
남태평양의 외딴 섬 이스터섬. 이섬에는 위대한 조상 호루마루아가 미래의 어느날 서쪽에 나타나 섬의 가장 강한 자를 선택하여 함께 떠난다는 전설이 있다. 그리고 그 징표로서 섬에서 1마일 정도 떨어져 있는 바위 정상의 새 둥지에 1년에 한 번씩 새를 보낸다는 것. 이에 따라 섬에서는 강한 자를 가리는, 버드맨을 뽑는 의식이 있어왔다. 라파누이에는 두 계급이 존재하고 있다. 지배계급인 대이족과 노예계급인 소이족이다. 대이족 추장인 느가아라와 간사한 사제장 투파는 그의 손자인 노로에게 버드맨 대회에 나갈 것을 종용한다. 노로는 소이족의 아름다운 처녀 라마나를 사랑하지만 추장의 반대로 결혼하지 못한다. 이에 노로는 라마나와의 결혼을 조건으로 버드맨 대회에 출전을 약속한다.

Když v 18. století na Velikonoční neděli objevili holandští mořeplavci nejodlehlejší místo na Zemi, našli zde několik znepřátelených klanů bojujících proti sobě a domnívajících se, že jsou jedinými lidmi na světě. Společnost rozdělená na dvě kasty – dlouhouší a krátkouší, měla přísná pravidla a tabu stanovená hlavním kněžím. Dva muži, člen vládnoucího rodu Noro a kameník Make bojují v závodu o titul Ptačího muže. Během příprav vyvrcholí dlouho trvající konflikty rozdělující společnost a závěrečné boje ji rozdělí definitivně.

Join their far-flung post-graduation Fandango. A dynamic cast, including rising stars Kevin Costner as "party guy" Gardner Barnes and Judd Nelson as "straight-arrow" Phil Hicks, and the clever script and direction of first-timer Kevin Reynolds (Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Waterworld) make it a rip-roaring ride. Like American Graffiti and Breaking Away, Fandango is a jovial, joyful look at growing up and busting loose.
