One cannot blame the current generation of viewers for their ignorance as most of them blindly believe that the New Zealand film industry is represented by Peter Jackson. This kind of miserable ignorance prevails as there are many who have not seen old films which were influential in revealing the richness of the cinema made in New Zealand. One of the best known films from New Zealand, 'Goodbye Pork Pie' is the best example of how innovative ideas help a film to achieve tremendous local success as well worldwide acclaim. It was made by director and writer team of Geoff Murphy and Ian Mune, who are considered as New Zealand cinema's important directors. Although Goodbye Pork Pie is classified as a road movie, it is much more than that as it is for the first time that a film made in New Zealand has covered the entire nation with only three characters who represent three different faces of New Zealand. The general outlook of rebellion appears to be credulous as big doses of humor were added in order to speak against the system. The natural beauty of New Zealand is filmed in such an artistic, professional manner that one would easily be tempted to pack bags and immediately leave for a trip to those parts. Lastly, those viewers who care about the promotion of serious cinema would not hesitate to explore some other films made by Geoff Murphy name Utu and The Quiet Earth.
