Rewi's Last Stand
''Rewi's Last Stand'' is the title of two feature films directed by pioneering New Zealand filmmaker Rudall Hayward: a 1925 silent movie, and 1940 remake with sound. They are historical dramas, based on the last stand of Rewi Maniapoto at the Battle of Ōrākau. Hayward believed that New Zealand's history offered material as dramatic as any Hollywood western. He set out to make films involving conflicts between Māori and Pākehā "while there were still people alive" who remembered the period accurately. accessed 22 November 2012 [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

In human physiology and psychology, sound is the ''reception'' of such waves and their ''perception'' by the brain.
