Whale Rider (2002)
9/10
Im glad they are still making films like this
3 December 2003
I saw one user say that this movie is for feminists and tree huggers. I laughed my butt off at that comment but the truth is that this movie really isn't pro-feminist or pro tree hugging. The thing that makes the little girl special is not that she is a female - it is that she is special and the dynamic of the story is that she is a female. I don't think this movie really insults men because there are some strong male characters in this movie with good qaulities. It's really just a story about those things that we humans don't completely understand as of yet - things like destiny, talent, genetics, and the depper nature of people - it transcends gender. Pai knows without a doubt that she has special powers and just lives with it - she was born to be the leader of the tribe and her grandfather can't see how much he has to be proud of.

I am a pretty heavy duty conservative - no tree hugging hear.

The ratings people gave this movie are not a accurate representation of the quality of this film. The score is amazing, the story is dreamy and haunting, and the acting is top notch. The end is truly heart breaking.
