i be remind see forgotten silver of course after know that it be all a hoax and that there be no filmmaker colin mackenzie of a film where another hoax be play but with real filmmaker and incident at loch ness . in both film the the one make the film put themselves in the film and and the story within the film within the film be fantastical and ambitious turn ( in loch ness and a documentary by werner herzog about the search for nessie and and in silver and peter jackson search for the elusive location and film can of the first un finish feature length film make in new zealand ) . in forgotten silver and however and the satire isn not really on high about how a film get make from start to finish and although it do include that a part of it . it really out to mock what be so delightful and absurd about the length to which filmmaker in the silent era look to be further and far with their innovation and wild dream of ambitious epic and but usually succumb to the easy thing make people laugh . colin mackenzie and the pinoeer present in this mockumentary by jackson and his collaborator costa botes and be such a filmmaker and and his up and down type story be chronicle and inter cut with the search for the missing film he take twenty year to make and have to hide away a to not have it take away by the russian and or or italian mob . it also do in a seemingly straightforward documentary way and like see one of the pb special or something ( i be also remind of the recent mock doc confederate state of america ) . it end up not be a laugh a minute really and and i find myself chuckle more than get full gut bust laugh like with some of jackson more twisted comedy like meet the feebles or dead or alive . what amuse more so to me be that the ecret of colin mackenzie and that so many in new zealand end up think he be for real and do really film his friend beat the wright brother to flight by several month and thing like that come under the package of a peter jackson product and who before make this have three of his four work a some of the most absurd and low budget piece of work to ever come from that corner of the world . but once that pass and and the idea that the hoax end up work in show what be great about the whole evolution and history of career with director in movie and as well a the kind of precision in restore film and while at the same time put some good touch to lampoon it . this come out clear in the actual silent footage itself and where mackenzie break through first with color and but because he ( unintentionally ) shoot topless native in the shot and he thrown in jail after the judge deliberate long enough to watch the footage repeatedly . there also mackenzie bread and butter a he try to finance his pet project and salome ( the film jackson and his team be sort of after in present day ) and which be the random silent comedy of stan the man ( peter corrigan in hilarious make up ) and who go about hit people un suspect pie and a he figure that attack that be on the innocent ( which happen after he strike a child in one of his early comedy ) could work well and that be and until the prime minister be on the scene . and the actual footage show of salome be an extraordinarily mix of both goofy and sincere technical feat and a jackson and botes go in a fine style at the way the old epic from the like of griffith and de mille and but with the bizarre touch jackson best at like with the main female star chop off a character head and play around with it . all of this be great fun and even if in between there a lot of actual sincere stuff put in and also in part fun in be a dead pan examination of the the ups for mackenzie ( his ill beget but always accomplish feat of invention and creation ) and down too ( i. e. lose his wife and child during film his epic and and subsequently die in world war 1 ) . stranger still with the picture be that jackson and botes almost have a kind of affection for the mackenzie character and a the former later display with his brawny popcorn epic that even make the material not too shallow in term of approach for the viewer . it also might add frustration and i would guess and if one do not know that it be a big gag in the guise of professional historical research . but it end up work good than i expect and and there even a gut bustlingly funny bit at the end a harvey weinstein express his confidence with his recently trim version of salome and cut out an hour out of the restored print . for film buff and forget silver be a weird kind of satirical keep sake only jackson and his wingnut people could cook up .
