The tunnel scenes compared

Early in the film, Willy goes through the tunnel from the train station out into Wellington itself, ready to catch the ferry.  On his way home, he goes back through the tunnel.  When we contrast the two journeys through the tunnel, we can see significant differences.

	Who do we see beside Willy?  How do they react to him?	What sounds are in the scene?  What effect do the sounds have?
Going through the tunnel the first time
Going through the tunnel the second time
Why has the director chosen to show Willy going through a tunnel, rather than outside? What is suggested about Willy’s relationship with the tohunga in the second tunnel scene?
