Title: Whale of a tale
Review: Whale Rider is an exquisite movie. Eastern New Zealand lends itself to a sumptuous setting. Gentle winds from a blue sky blow over the waves of an even bluer sea. Pikea is the granddaughter of a Maori chief. She was born under tragic circumstances. She has the potential to be the leader of their community, but she faces tradition and her own grandfather's obstinate disposition. Keisha Castle-Hughes gives a starred performance. She has a lot of potential in the cinema world. This movie has a very touching soundtrack. It has a great girl power theme. Perhaps the thing I liked most is that Pikea instead of rebelling and fighting to make change, she uses tradition and works within the system to effect change.
