Haere ki te whare pikitia - Going to the movies
Kei te haere maua ki te pikitia.
We are going to the pictures.
E mataki ana maua i a Te Kaieke Tohora.

I was told that it is a sad movie.
He nui nga wahanga korero Maori.
There is a lot of Maori dialogue.
Kei te harikoa au ki te matakitaki i tenei pikitia.
