From the film, you can see that the ancient Maori still has a serious patriarchal consciousness. The rules are originally used to break, and life needs to be self-ruled. The girl did not give up the goal, she used her heart to pass on the miracle of the chief.
The style is very plain. The story shown in the movie is like the sea. Although it only shows the surface of the sea, it can make people vaguely experience the calm torrents and undercurrents, as well as all the unknowns in it. At the end of the film, the little girl (with the natural beauty of innocence and innocence) experienced numerous obstacles, gender, the decline of her tribe, and lack of self-confidence... the tenacious and even stubborn vitality was silent for a long time, and finally accepted and recognized by nature, and whales Produced a mysterious induction from ancient times. In the end, she proved herself and brought courage to the people.

    A main theme film under the appearance of a literary film. Beautifully shot and complete; the subject is also well captured. But that's pretty much the whole point of the film. The presentation of the plot is typically from a director's point of view—many times there is a lack of psychological depiction, and theatrical foreshadowing is insufficient—and this presentation is aimed at a manifesto-style expression. This is a typical problem with many mainstream American films, especially politically correct American films. The difference is that compared to these films, this film has a stronger sense of hierarchy and relies more on the story rather than the preaching itself to advance the development of the plot. I think the director is talented, although - at least in this film - her talent is too purposeful (and to some extent she has achieved her own purpose: to go into Hollywood and let her expressive films be better seen by many).

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

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.
