Nani is an amazing, passionate nurturer, who knows how to, for the most part, run things, while keeping Koro thinking that he’s in charge.She does so by asserting her leadership, in opposition to Koro and her Maori community’s tradition of male leadership.However, when it came to Pai’s stepping out of the Maori traditional “box,” Koro took a much more authoritarian approach, disciplining Pai harshly, and giving her no opportunity to discuss her opinion or emotions.The film “Whale Rider” took me on a whale of an emotional ride.She slips into despair, only when it seems that stubborn Koro might never accept Pai, or any of his children, as they are, for who they are.

Her grandfather Koro, the current chief was making decisions that were steeped in traditional cultural methods.She is denied access to the “leadership” school, was told not to touch the motor boat pump, she was not allowed to train with the fighting sticks, and was directed to stay away from the whale.3) Counter cinema and female-gaze cinema are both forms of film that are opposed to the dominant forms in Hollywood.The problems shown range from issues relating to bodily functions, to the issues that go along with attempting to break out of the mold that society seems to put us into.In response to all of this adversity, she found ways to achieve these goals on her own.

Koro is depicted as a stern and humorless man but not a villain.The luxurious photography which is taken underwater and enhanced by digital effects and models together with the energizing rhythms of performance, editing and sounds depicts the transformation of Pai into a whale rider.In the film there are no whites and there are only children t-shirts and some music which comes from a boom box that suggest the encroaching force of the majority who had control (Rountree, pg 98-99).The film whale rider has a different and a more powerful approach.Whale Rider never becomes a saccharine because it is partly a straight tale and also partly a gripping mystical fable.

Pai loves Koro more than any person in the world, but she must fight him and a thousand years of custom to fulfil her destiny.Koro is blind to this though because he believes that the next leader has to be a boy hence Koro did not use his power to his maximum.Koro is the chief of the village and has the most seniority as he is the head of the traditional tribe.Pai had spirit, every time Koro shot her down she would get back up and keep trying.In the film Maori tradition and culture has been displayed and this formed the beliefs between the two characters, Koro and Pai.

It was thought provoking and interesting to see Kahu strive for her grandfather’s acceptance from before she could even walk.Whale Rider creates a distorted medium between reality and the character’s minds, which is what keeps the reader guessing, second-guessing and questioning all the way up until the moment of truth in the end.Kahu is destined to be the next chief of the Maori in Whangara, New Zealand, a tribe that has descended from the legendary “whale rider.” However, Kahu is, as Nanny Flowers says, “Hungry for [her grandfather’s] love,” (Ihimaera 34) and struggles to receive it because she is a girl.In Witi Ihimaera’s novel “Whale Rider” we follow Rawiri as he goes through his life watching the growth, incidents and magic of his n...

The Escort whale, (most are male), may blow bubbles to create a ‘screen’ when outside humpbacks get too close.Humpback’s are perhaps most well-known for their hauntingly beautiful and mysterious whale songs.Belly-flipping is simply when a whale lies on its back in the water and slaps the water with one flipper at a time.It is when a whale launches themselves above the water, often twisting in midair, and splashing back down on their sides.To compensate for its size, a humpback whale must intake about 3000 pounds of food per day.

To me, the white whale is that wall, shoved near to me.“But what further depreciates the whale as a civilized dish, is his exceeding richness.“For the whale is indeed wrapt up in his blubber as in a real blanket or counterpane; or, still better, an Indian poncho slipt over his head;” (Melville) therefore, too, is the expository material, the “blubber” of the novel wrapped around its central, allegorical aspects.Instead, for Melville, the whale symbol indicated the cosmic universe and was exhaustively related through his use of cetological detail and science.For Ahab the white whale represented both ultimate reality and the wall which separates man from ultimate reality.
