Whale Rider



          I watched Whale Rider in class last week. I’m not a very emotional person, but I have to admit it was a very touching movie. It was sort of hard to understand the spirtual stuff because most of it was in a different language, but it was interesting. For girls, it’s a great movie about strength and courage and being true to you no matter what. Paikea is a very understanding character. We can feel for her in her struggle of a sexist tradition without losing the love of her grandfather. I liked how Paikea kept trying to please her grandfather . Also when she kept trying to be a good leader, even when nobody approved. One Thing that i really like about this movie is that the were local people, not professional actors.
