Rocky, Boy & the child-dad

Today we are watching the film together.  For those of you who feel confident in your knowledge of the film, I have some learning activities for you to work on.  

Rocky & Boy

One of the ways that Waititi develops the character of Boy is by setting up a contrast between the two boys.  

1. What happened when Rocky was born?  

2. Why do you think Rocky feels guilty about being born?  Do you think you he should feel guilty?

3. Boy is a lot more enthusiastic about his Dad than Rocky is.  Find an example of this from the film and describe it in your own words.

The child-dad

1. We hear Alamein/Dad/Shogun on the phone to his Mum.  What does he say that sounds like he is one of the kids?  

2. When Alamein/Dad/Shogun asks Boy to stop calling him Dad, what message does this give to Boy?

3. At the party, there is a dream-like sequence.  Who does Boy see his dad as being like?
