Who is the chief

What is the chief? Must be the eldest son, a combination of training masters and courage, or a leader who solves major problems? Leaving this aside, what is bothering us at the moment is how can we find a chief to take over? Koro is the chief of the Maori tribe. He deeply believes in the traditions of the Maori tribe, those ancient ballads, Tayak attacks, and various rules that must be observed == Only the eldest son can be a chief, and only the eldest son can learn Tayak s right. Are these traditions useful? They are useful in the film. They can exercise people's body and will, and finally save those heavy whales that unfortunately get stranded. But at the same time these traditions make Corot's harshness unreasonable, and he must be the eldest son to get these rights. At the same time, it is not only a right, but also an obligation. However, what should we do in the face of these traditions...
Korro is indulging in them. With a pious and rigid attitude, for the sake of tradition, he is very demanding of his eldest son Polurangi, but ignores them. His wish: Pororangyi’s wife had a dystocia, leaving a pair of fetuses, and passed away, while the baby boy died and the baby girl survived. Koro didn’t seem to have thought of Pororangyi’s sadness. Instead, I hope that Polurangi is marrying one as soon as possible, in order to have an eldest son, and for the chief to be able to succeed others, so that Polurangi ran away in anger and went to Europe; he basically ignored his second son and could not see it at all. With his growth, Ravelli was able to win the championship in the use of Tajak. Ravelli has leadership skills and everyone is willing to listen to him. He should know this, but this is the second son, no matter how good, No one can be a chief, even if the eldest son is improper, and there are eldest grandchildren, the second son will never get there.; The attitude towards his own granddaughter Paikaya, although he loves him,-there is a school bus, he still rides a bicycle every day, and likes to ride a bicycle Take her in a circle on her grass and then suddenly push her off the bicycle beam, teach her to sing ancient ballads, tell her ancient legends, she farts when performing, but still applauses her after the performance, and Afterwards, the young man who laughed at her was'respect for people', but the tradition cannot be changed. Therefore, when she violates the tradition again and again, he becomes more severe, not picking up her, not talking to her, because he is addicted to it, No one is allowed to touch it. Tradition needs him to maintain and carry forward. It is a sacred thing and cannot be judged by right or wrong. There is only compliance without thinking. Although I don't like this character very much, I still respect him because of his persistence, piety and fearlessness (excellent quality).
And Ke Luo’s wife, obeys and improves everyone’s situation as much as possible. She is a wise and caring woman. Indeed, on the outside, Ke Luo is the boss. Yes, because you are the chief, you have this power. She follows these traditions and uses her own ability to fight for her rights,'in the kitchen, I have the final say', while observing everyone around her, helping and encouraging them as much as possible. She hugged Paikea who was howling and crying, took care of Ke Luo and Paikea’s diet and daily life, encouraged the hardworking female teacher at the school concert, and did not allow her son’s friends to leave. She hopes to be able to use herself With the meager power, we can provide everyone with some help as much as possible.
Polurangi, in the rebellion, his resistance was not thorough, the goal was not clear, and he did not dare to take responsibility for his own resistance. His girl named Paikea, but he did not fight for her as a chief. He even threw her to his father and mother instead of raising her. His European girlfriend was pregnant, but he didn't tell his parents or bring her to see them. Therefore, his resistance was not substantive. As a result, his behavior did not win the understanding of others.
Ravelli is laissez-faire. Although he is capable and courageous, he can't do anything. He didn't think about trying to prove his ability in the past, and he didn't think about resisting this kind of tradition. Anyway, he just lived day by day, with individual posts, but not so much. A beautiful girlfriend, a few good friends, and occasionally my father will help if he shouts, everything is like this, a kind of nonchalant life. Ordinary and laid-back, in fact, as long as you can really think about it in your heart, it will be good to live like this~
And Paikea, with her persistence, love, and talent won everyone's respect. How can I become a qualified chief? How can we solve this huge problem that affects everyone in Ke Luo's house? Through all kinds of training? Rely on the heavens to grow children? It was her who gave the perfect answer to this question. That is love and never giving up... This kind of love has two aspects. First, she likes her grandfather. When she was a baby girl, she could grab her grandfather’s collar and stop crying. Grandpa pushed her down from the bicycle beam lovingly. She would call him a bad old man. She liked the songs that grandpa taught him to sing. She liked the traditional stories that grandpa told her and kept it in her heart. Second, she liked those The whale mentioned in the tradition, when she is upset and needs help, she likes to sing that song. Through the sea, she can see whales swimming. She thinks that she has heard her call and rushed over. Encouraging her, because of this, she got off the car where her father took her back to Europe and returned to her grandfather's house. Because of love, every time she secretly does something that violates tradition and will apologize to grandpa, tell her grandma also tells herself that it is not grandpa’s fault, because of love, she has been constantly working hard to become a chief, practicing chanting, Practice Tajak, go to the deep sea to fish for whale teeth, and easily catch a big lobster to make snacks for grandpa. Because of love, she solemnly invites grandpa to watch her concert, hoping to let him see his growth and listen. In the end, when the whale ran aground, everyone tried their best to help, but to no avail, and a dying whale would cause more whale deaths. Seeing grandpa’s helplessness, she felt his grandpa’s sadness. If the rescue is unsuccessful, grandpa will die, not only because of his helplessness to life, but also because of many failures. He is old and the chief is not selected. It is easy for people to lose the courage to continue to live, she remembered The legendary whale-riding warrior, their ancestor Paikea, so she resolutely climbed onto
the giant whale that could not be pulled with a tractor and the men of the whole clan. She sang ancient ballads and succeeded. Let the whale return to the sea...
Here, she not only proved that a girl can be a chief, but she can even do better than a man-his grandfather-but she was taken into the sea by a whale. When everyone discovered it, it was very late. At this time, Fula You handed Whale Tooth to Ke Luo, and Ke Luo realized his mistake and woke up from the drowning.. If God gives him another chance, I believe he will not be so stubborn and will not treat Paikea like that again. Fortunately, the director gave us hope == On the hospital bed, Paikea was lying there with whale teeth on her neck. Koro held her hand by the side and called the chief in his mouth... Then, the ship was engraved. The whale rider’s big ship-which used to be a semi-finished product-was also completed and was pushed into the sea by the crowd-and set sail. Everyone rowed and sang, surrounded by Paikea, who was already the chief, and at the same time, Polurangi. Brought back his pregnant wife.. At this point, all problems are solved. Only a comprehension was left, it turned out that this was the chief! !
I like this movie very much. I like the heroine’s persistence and her love even more. When she sees her grandfather’s seat is vacant in order to surprise her grandpa, she still insists on giving a speech, when she sees the big lobster she fished for grandpa. , I was moved when she saw the tragedy of grandpa’s sad whale and she resolutely rode on the whale~

    The sea is mysterious, and the music that accompanies the sea is what I like... This kind of girl is what I love...

    The overall is still good, there is so little drag that I don't like it very much~ It's a bit like "Blue Sea and Blue Sky"~ The overall picture is very endearing~
