Set in a remote Maori village in Recent Zealand, a chief struggles with the death of his grandson and daughter-in-law. She’s given birth to twins, died in childbirth, and the boy twin, first-born son of his first-born son, is monotonous along with his mother. The girl twin survives, but the grandfather practically blames her birth for the tragedy. Who will succeed him and carry on the traditions that stretch attend through time? Now the sacred chain of sons of sons has been broken.
The love-hate relations of the entire family, grandfather, grandmother, sons, granddaughter are heartrending and heart-warming at the same time. The fight to carry on the Maori traditions in the face of losing them in a novel world, and the struggle of a girl to ascend to chiefdom when girls are forbidden to do so makes for a mythical chronicle.
The young actress who plays Paikea, named for the whale rider who arrived from Hawaaki to found their tribe, is so superb, you won’t own this is her debut. Keisha Castle-Hughes is interviewed as an extra feature on this DVD; you will marvel at her brilliance and perception. The footage of whales stale plus the models of whales for the most dramatic scene of a whale beaching are astonishingly dependable.

This is one of the most scrumptious films I saw in 2003 and I recommend it highly.
Niki Caro’s “Whale Rider” (based on the modern by Witi Ihimaera) is an uplifting myth of tradition and inner strength. Twelve-year-old Pai (talented newcomer Keisha Castle-Hughes) lives with her grandparents in a rural Current Zealand town. Pai’s mother and twin brother died in childbirth, and her artist father took off for Europe, where he now has a current (pregnant) girlfriend. Pai’s brother was supposed to be the next chief of her tribe, and with his death Pai’s grandfather Koro searches for a current (male) leader, failing to leer that it is Pai that possesses the courage and talents of a chieftain.
The movie is filled with a haunting soundtrack by Boring Can Dance’s Lisa Gerrard, including samples of conventional Maori music by Hirini Melbourne. The cinematography beautifully captures the many moods of light and shadow on mountains and sea, as well as stock footage of majestic whales. “Whale Rider” is an uplifting account of care for, loss, and courage, about tradition in the face of change, and believing in yourself.
