Coming from the other side of the sea...

Where do we come from, and where are we going? Asked a million times, and again a million times. There are so many beautiful legends and future myths gathered here! Having watched this approachable film, I can't help but think of Nausicaa, a girl in Miyazaki's Nausicaa.
There are four reasons that attracted me to watch this film:
the collision between a remote and mysterious Maori on the east coast of New Zealand and the current society can satisfy my curiosity and thinking about exploring a lost civilization.
The wonderful interpretation and interpretation of a simple and natural little actor are often more convincing as they are more real. Is the Oscar nomination for best actress a story or her magic?
The story of the sea is always full of imagination, like Luke Besson's "Blue Sea and Blue Sky" Alejandro "My Heart is Like the Sea" Kevin Costner's "Future Water World".
I also want to see if the young actors will actually appear on a whale.
After watching it, it was like listening to grandma telling a warm story in front of a wall fire.
