Yesss! And so happy to have met Maka & the fielalangi and the gangster 😂 so handsome and tall real life. Met them after the movie & Mt Druitt Hoyts Sydney Australia.
Came to this video after watching the Premiere screening of 'Red, White & Brass' in Welly.. Such an inspiration to the people🇹🇴 and the whole of Pasifika🌊💫 Ofa atu kainga from a tamasi'i Ha'amoa💙
I’m still in the cinema after watching Red White and Brass at the Sydney Film Festival. There was a Q & A with the cast, which included an original band member. They brought down the house. Everyone in the audience loved the film. A truly remarkable story that so perfectly captures the spirit of Tongan and Pacific Islander people ❤
Yes, I too am here because I have just seen Red, White and Brass. The best movie I've seen in ages. So delightful, so hysterically funny, and as I live in Wellington, so proud!
Stayed in the same hotel with the Tongan team that night after the match - proper GENTLEMAN; and the band was there to greet them😂 Great music and dancing in the morning too 😎🏴
Omg this is the brass band. I remember them I thought they were a legit band that had been playing for years and now made into a movie ❤️❤️❤️. I went to three rugby world cup matches in 2011 including this one France and Tonga.
They were a legit band. Apparently the church had a fledgling band, but they only decided to see if they could perform at the match a couple of months before the World Cup. I would imagine the band originally was much smaller than the one who performed here, so many were newbies. Also they didn’t have enough instruments to begin with. However it wasn’t totally from scratch. I agree it is pretty impressive that they managed to do this in 8 or so weeks. Interestingly it the father’s idea for the band to try to perform. The actors are the true life mother and father of one of the co writers. So they are playing fictional versions of themselves, which I think is pretty neat. The co writer also based Maka on himself.
OMG I am here after watching red, white and brass movie and wow!!! I am so amazed!!! Huge inspiration knowing the movie was based on a true story! Love this!!!
Went to watch the movie Red White and Brass and had to come see the real performance. So heartwarming !! Thank you for capturing and uploading. Enjoyed and appreciate this !!
Just watched the film on TV so had to see if it was on RU-vid. Amazing how here on RU-vid proved the film was based on an actual event. Would have been solid though if the film showcased the exact same music selection featured in this RU-vid but other than that I really enjoyed the film.
I'm here cause I'm dying to watch the movie but seeing from the comments looks like the movie is too good plus this video I throught it was the movie but it's the real deal
Red White and Brass! Amazing film! They should have included the lady at the very end in the film though! Anyone got a running order from this real life clip? particularly 7.40 please?
Honestly came because of the movie but bruhhhh!! it’s amazing what us Tongans can do in such little time - especially if we really want to score free tickets to a game 🤣 Tonga to the world lessgoooooo cheeeehoooooo 🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴
