    It turns out that Mulan was directed by her, ha, then I'll mark the whale rider. I gave this film four stars, because I learned that she directed Hua Mulan, so I added one to wish her a better career after 18 years. I haven't watched Mulan yet. Some parts of Whale Rider are relatively loose or boring, but the whole main axis, the opposition and reconciliation between grandfather and grandson, minority elements, the philosophy of ancient legends, the warm little love, and the natural ecology of...

    "Whale Rider" represents not only the national leader recognized by the Maori, but also the totem of "wisdom" in Maori culture. Is the ancient culture inherited or abandoned? Are stereotypes adhered to or subverted? Traditional Principles of Fading or Leaping? "The Prophet"'s response proves that the response is not in the response. It is in everyone's heart and sees everything that is happening around them from the perspective of freedom, equality and...

    Is this the legendary rookie girl who squeezed out Scarlett of "Lost in Translation" to grab the nomination for that year's Olympic heroine nomination? I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid that my birth will not be blessed by you. Grandpa is an old stubborn, but...

    The flaw is that in the narrative aspect, it relies a little on small actors to sell cuteness, and in terms of conflict, it relies a little on selling alien cultures. But the appearance of the whale was like a miracle on the ground in the dullness of the previous hour, and the huge mammal sailing into the blue ocean was like a reconciliation between tradition and reality. Maori, the wave of feminism should also keep up~7...

    Whale rider


    ㄧ.

        Koro, who guards the whale legend, and Paikea who rides on the whale, weaves the great life heritage of the Maori. Tradition always faces challenges in every contemporary era; every challenger and guardian of contemporary traditions always creates the best new traditions for future...

    Whale rider

    The main line of the story is simple and clear.

       The little girl is like a pure flower that blooms gradually, with a brave heart.
       
       Grandpa's faith and stubbornness. But the love between grandfather and granddaughter...repressive and real.

       Grandma's love, uncle and "aunt" care, and...

Whale Rider quotes

  • Paikea: I wasn't scared to die.

  • [last lines]

    Paikea: My name is Paikea Apirana, and I come from a long line of chiefs stretching all the way back to the whale rider. I'm not a prophet, but I know that our people will keep going forward, all together, with all of our strength.
