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...

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... -

Back to tradition, back to your heart
Back to tradition, back to your heart
I love this film, a simple film that can attract your attention all the way to the end. The breathtaking natural scenery of New Zealand, the magically blending colors of green and blue remind me of the gorgeous exterior settings where shoot the Lord Ring series....

Koro: If you have the tooth of a whale, you must have the jaw of a whale to yield it.

[first lines]
Paikea: In the old days, the land felt a great emptiness. It was waiting. Waiting to be filled up. Waiting for someone to love it. Waiting for a leader.
[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.
