    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 child

Whale Rider quotes

  • 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.
