《復活島》- Rapa Nui (1994)

PS, 海報出現《與狼共舞》男主角凱文‧科斯納 (Kevin Costner) 宣傳字樣，因為他是《復活島》- Rapa Nui (1994) 的製作人，並無實際參與演出，大概想借用他的 "票房吸引力" 吧 !! ^^

背景資料探討
『復活島』的英文名字為 Easter Island，位於南太平洋之中，一座與世隔絕的小島，1888年之後納入智利的領土，距離智利本土大約 4000公里之遙。

維基中文則翻成『復活節島』，直譯 Easter 為復活節。
島上最著名的人類遺產，就是巨形石像 "毛埃" (Moai)

拉帕努伊 (Rapa Nui) 族為復活島上的原住民，屬於夏威夷玻里尼西亞人 (Polynesian) 的一支移民，而 Rapa Nui 也等於 "土語" 的復活島。
距今約 300年前的 1722年，荷蘭人探險家 Jakob Roggeveen (1659 - 1729) 意外發現 Rapa Nui 島，從此賦予 Easter Island 的歐洲命名。

序幕 ....
電影開場白：為一段口述方式陳述的復活島歷史與傳奇 !!
Fifteen hundred years ago a small band of Polynesian voyagers discovered one of the most remote islands on earth. And began a mystery that still endures. The band and their chief, Hotu Matu'a, settled the lush oasis, and were lost to the world for the next 1,000 years. European sailors rediscovered the island and named it Easter Island.
The Europeans found a barren,treeless place, inhabited by numerous warring clans. And the gigantic stone statues built over centuries. As a form of ancestor worship, Hotu Matu'a's descendants called the island Navel of the World, Rapa Nui. And centuries of isolation had convinced them they were the only people left on earth. Still, no one knows why the statues were so large, or why work on them suddenly ceased. But legend speaks of a terrible conflict between the clans a few decades before the Europeans.
