Yep. I recommend the movie.

It's very appropriate: The Moai (gods) preside over the downfall of a
people preoccupied with their worship. The pursuit of stupidity in the
human race can not be understimated. In the movie though is presented
like some preacherman was the manipulator over the stupid king of the
"Long Ears," and he used the "Short Ears"--the nearly enslaved
people--to carry forth the no less stupid enterprise of sculpting and
erecting the statues in order to gain personal glory. Very plausible.
It happens in the present.
