Title: As good as they say....
Review: I was hesitant to watch Whale Rider. Usually films others rave about get a 'so-so' reaction from me. But I really loved Whale Rider. This is a classic tale that will appeal to young and old. Whale Rider is the story of a young Maori girl (Pai) who must overcome the difficulties faced between herself and an aging grandfather who insists that being a warrior is not a suitable occupation for a young girl, and indeed, that this is taboo.The granddaughter must overcome her hurt and her grandfather's old-fashioned customs to prove to him that she's the best person for the job. (And save a few whales in the process.).Overall, an excellent film filmed in New Zealand.
