    Character Evaluation

    Niki Caro was born in a literary film. She is more delicate and attractive   . She is a more successful female director. Her short films and feature films have been liked by audiences in New Zealand and around the world. Her short film "Movie Film" is like a research report that explores fetishism. At the same time, her feature film "Summer Queen Arrives" is a glimpse into the twisted little details of suburban life. In addition, in the movie "Whale Rider" with the theme of Maori and modern culture, she uses fiasco and dim brushstrokes to depict the absorption of Maori and the castration of souls by modern civilization, and the colors are bright and optimistic. In the film It restores the true expression of Maori life and conveys that although change and progress are inevitable, there is not necessarily a fierce conflict with traditional culture and customs, making the film a touching story and a higher appreciation .

      The casting is really good, it's not surprising to get the Oscar nomination for the heroine that year, but unfortunately this ending is a bit unconvincing.

      A portrait of Maori group life that is as beautiful as a fairy tale every time a whale appears. This is not a feminist movie, but a women's movie, and the little heroine's performance is too great.

      [child birth scene]

      Paikea: And he came on the back of a whale. A man to lead a new people. Our ancestor, Paikea. But now we were waiting for the firstborn of the new generation, for the descendant of the whale rider. For the boy who would be chief.

      Paikea: There was no gladness when I was born. My twin brother died, and took our mother with him.
