As quiet as the sea, sad and strong

I took the National Day holiday and read some novels, one of which was "Whale Rider". The film adapted from this novel is one of my favorites.

This is a story about how a Maori girl overcomes the obstacles of tradition and reality. The plot is finally recognized without repeating. There are already many stories on the Internet. It is not like American commercial films. There are various high-tech or BUEATY gimmicks. It’s not as exquisite and fun as French movies, but every time I watch this movie, I always cry silently. I am moved by the quiet and profound power of the movie. I thought it was a dull movie, but I watched it. Several sides have fallen in love with New

Zealand and New Zealand-what a beautiful name "Aotearoa" (Aotearoa). The

local indigenous people may be one of the few indigenous peoples under Western colonialism who have achieved almost the same status as the whites. In this way, the Maori have also encountered inevitable contradictions in the tide of modernization and Westernization, struggling to maintain their nationality and development in the vortex. You will see many idle young people who are deceived by drugs, tobacco and alcohol. On the other hand, some drawbacks in tradition also hinder the ability of the nation to exert talents The obese and lazy woman who could not inherit the position of the patriarch and later became banned from participating in business

affairs . This is the real problem that THE WHALE RIDER wants to tell. The little girl PAIKEA represents the hope of breaking through and reconciling these contradictions.

Perhaps it is the relationship of translation. I feel that the novel is novel. The power is not as strong as the movie, or it can be said that the movie has changed really well. In the novel, the old patriarch’s attitude towards the minor faction is too blunt, and the feelings of the minor faction seem to have come. In the movie, the actor handles the feelings between grandparents and grandchildren very well. The patriarch still loves the granddaughter, but he cannot break through on the issue of heirs. The traditional prejudice made him and her feel the same pain. The whole film was immersed in a long and enduring pain for a lot of time. It was only when the little pie rode a whale and returned to the sea. This sadness was broken or suddenly broke out

. The picture of the whale returning to the sea is so beautiful. Breathtaking beauty is like a gorgeous flower blooming silently on the other side of the world.

This is not just a children's movie.
