Whale Rider

My opinion on the whale rider is both good and bad, The story of the maori tribe and what their traditions are were very interesting to me. Especially the kind of right of passage for the young men to be the leader by finding the grandfathers whale tooth necklace was very interesting to me. What i didnt like about the film was the ending in particular i thought they did a horrible job with it, how Paikea just drown on the back of a whale and then they miraculously found her in the ocean killed it for me. I do like that her grandfather finally accepted her as their cultures savior because how she was treated by him the whole story made me mad at parts. That is my opinion on The whale rider.
