Introduction little trouble, the whole story was intact talk Out. After reading the introduction and pictures, I don’t need to watch a movie. I was surprised that this film was made in the United States, authentic and delicate, and there is no way to see the old beauty. I like the scenery there and I can touch the whales. The girl performed well and seems to be nominated by Osar. When she gave a speech on stage to the grandfather who was not present, she couldn't cry. The grievance of a child originated from the abandonment of a loved one.

    A feminist youth film of ethnic minorities, using the conflict between old and new civilizations to talk about feminism, a narrative from a completely female perspective; the sea is like a womb, so everything in the sea is full of motherhood; the film also mentions "fertility", women This is the greatness and unique charm of . ps1. The whales are so cute; 2. The beginning is almost the same as Sakinsev's "Return", and the two films are about the same year//← In fact, my previous understanding was not quite right. Now I think about it, the feminism of the film is reflected in, It puts women in the position of a savior, not just a simple "goddess", because a "goddess" is a woman with a sexual filter from a male perspective, and the position of "savior" challenges the authority of men

    20130624jtlNew Zealand, a pure country, even the nostalgia of the Maori people is so gentle. Perhaps the more gentle, the stronger the angry face, the tongue sticking out and the staring eyes, but in fact, they are all kind people, and they are especially soft-hearted towards nature. The little girl acted well, the stubborn grandpa. The New Zealand coast is so beautiful. The passages of whales are somewhat surreal, but Hollywood-styled ethnic films have lost the characteristics of local films
