That movie was so good. It could never be made in America. It focuses too much on the emotional horror of the event and not enough on titillating gun play and blood.

I don't know about 'couldn't be made in America' but it's kind of comparing apples and oranges right? There are a handful of mass shootings in New Zealand's history, and Aramoana is particularly pertinent because it led to a change in our gun laws. I also don't know if it would be made now, in the shadow of the Christchurch mosque shootings. Not because of taste, just because I don't know if the 'out of the blue' idea still holds water.

How would it be apples to oranges? You make a movie about a real life mass shooting in America and it's going to either lionize a cop who gets into a very irresponsible gun battle with the bad guy, or it's going to turn the shooter into a poor little meowmeow who couldn't get a date (with a different irresponsible gun battle). That's the way Hollywood does it.

Given that the subject matter is the same, the reaction to the subject matter, both laws put in place after and the handling of media portrayals of the event, are highlighting the differences in culture which is the point of comparisons in the first place.

They're both apples, it's just that one is rotten.

The movie is excellent, thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hey thanks for the rec, OP. Watched this tonight. So devastating. I loved brave Helen Dickson, doing that trench crawl twice! Worthy of an army grunt.

She was amazing! The actress did such a great job. The quiet devastation on her face when she realized what was all over Patch…just heartbreaking.

Have a listen to "A Thing Well Made" by the Muttonbirds, which is about Aramoana, in a roundabout, quietly devastating way
