    A popular science film about Maori culture, the story is relatively simple, the mystery of primitive totem worship is mixed with modern feminist consciousness, and it is more suitable for animation, but the invincible beauty of New Zealand is also a...

    The movie itself is average, but riding a whale = driving the largest animal in the ocean, I admire the imagination and majestic ambition of the Maori. When most of the tribe was about to give up their own culture, the little girl picked it up and tried to carry it forward... I see it as a myth. The sea there is so blue. Nice soundtrack, distant and slightly...

    Primitive beliefs are so fragile in the face of modern shocks, saving the whale is equivalent to saving yourself from the bondage and getting a new turn. They are still the ropes and are still tightly connected. The part of saving the whale is so touching that I wanted to tattoo a totem on a Maori man. The femme fatale was so stubborn and unyielding when she was a...

    Another NZ film that makes me cry and think of this little girl again and again -she is so brave, intelligent and funny! She accepted the fact - to lose her own life in the sea, as a return she then became the real leader of her people. That's the life, no pain no...

    Paka

    Remember the name of grandfather in the movie is paka. The old chief had always had a silent love for his granddaughter. It was this love that made him miserable. He must also hope that Pi was a boy. He knew best how smart Pi is. He didn't realize that he had been blindfolded until his ancestor God...

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.
