Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te momo mea e kitea ana i roto i ngā kiriata, pēnei i te tūranga a Robert Redford i roto i "All Is Lost" or Ang Lee's "Life of Pi". Engari, i roto i te ora tūturu, he uaua ki te horomia te whakaaro o te tangata kotahi e noho ana i te moana mō ngā rā, wiki, mēnā kāore i te marama, ā, e ora ana ki te kōrero mō taua mea. Heoi, ka puta tonu nga merekara, ehara i te mea kei Hollywood anake. Ehara i te mea ko te hunga e rere kau ana, e rere kau ana rānei i muri i te mutunga o te hau, i te ngaru o te hau, ā, i muri iho i ētahi haora ka hopukina e te Kaitiaki Moana o Amerika. He iti ake ngā take i ngaro ai ngā tāngata i te moana mō te wā roa kia kore ai he kai, he wai inu rānei i kawea mai e rātau ki runga, mēnā i puta. Kia ora ai, kāore e taea e rātau te whakawhirinaki ki te hangarau, ki te tata rānei o tētahi taone, tāone, kaipuke rānei - engari me whakawhirinaki ki te pūkenga, te pūkenga me te waimarie. He uaua ki te kī te tokomaha o ēnei momo kōrero e mutu pouri ana, he kaipuke e mate ana i te moana, engari he nui ake te tokomaha i te hunga e mutu ana i te whakaoranga. Ka puta mai ēnei mutunga harikoa - e ai ki ngā pūrongo a ngā umanga whakaoranga, ā, ki te whakaaro koe e whakapono ana koe ki ngā kōrero a te tangata kotahi i ora, he tohu nui nā te mea kāore he tangata kē e taea te whakamatau, te whakakāhore rānei i ā rātou kōrero. Kei raro nei ētahi tauira tata nei: E ai ki a Louis Jordan, i rere atu ia i runga i tana poti rerenga 35 mita mai i South Carolina i te mutunga o Hanuere. I anga ia ki te awa o te Gulf e rapu ana i tētahi wāhi pai hei hī ika. Na, ko nga mea katoa - ko tana kaipuke, ko tona oranga - ka hurihuri. E kii ana te tangata i whakaorangia, he 'whakawhetai nui ia' Ehara i te mea i huri noa tana poti, engari i pakaru tona pou, e ai ki a Jordan. Waihoki ko tōna pokohiwi. I hokona e ia te wā mā te whakawātea i te wai, kātahi ka kohikohi i te wai hou ki roto i te peere. Mo te kai, e ai ki a Jordan, i whakamahia e ia te horoi horoi hei hopu ika. A whakatakotoria ana e ia he pourewa, he parirau. Engari, ka mea a Horano, "He roa rawa te wā. He puhoi rawa te nekehanga". E rua anō ngā wā i hurihia ai tōna poti rerenga i mua i te kitenga o ngā mema o te kaipuke kaipuke kaipuke o Tiamana, ko te Houston Express, i a Horano e 200 māero i te takutai o Te Tai Tokerau o Kararolina i...
E ai ki tētahi tangata o Kararere ki te Tonga, e 66 ngā rā i noho mokemoke ai ia i te moana i mua i tana whakaoranga.
