The Whale Rider Free FREE THE WHALE RIDER PDF Witi Ihimaera | 144 pages | 01 Mar 2005 | Pearson Education Limited | 9780435131081 | English | Harlow, United Kingdom Whale Rider Index - Cora's Online Reserve (restricted access) Her grandfather Koro Apirana believes that this is a role reserved for males only. The film was a coproduction between New Zealand and Germany. It was shot on location in Whangarathe setting of The Whale Rider novel. The film received critical acclaim upon its release. The film's plot follows the story of Paikea Apirana "Pai". The village leader should be the first-born son, a direct patrilineal descendant of Paikeathe Whale Rider, he who rode on top of a whale Tohora from Hawaiki. Pai is originally born a twin, but her The Whale Rider brother and her mother died during childbirth. Pai is female and so technically cannot inherit the leadership. While her grandfather, Koro, later forms an affectionate bond with his granddaughter, carrying her to school every day on his bicycle, he also condemns her and blames her for conflicts happening within the tribe. After the death The Whale Rider his wife and despite overwhelming pressure from Koro, Pai's father refuses to assume traditional leadership or finish the waka canoe that he had started building for the baby The Whale Rider instead, he moves to Germany to pursue a career as an artist. At one point, Paikea decides to live with her father because her grandfather says he The Whale Rider not want her. However, as they are driving away, she finds that she cannot bear to leave the sea as the whale seems to The Whale Rider calling her back. Pai tells her father to return her home. Koro leads a cultural school for the village's The Whale Rider boys, hoping to find a new leader. He teaches the The Whale Rider to use a taiaha fighting stickwhich is traditionally reserved for males. Pai is interested in the lessons, but is discouraged and scolded by Koro for doing so. Pai feels that she can become the leader The Whale Rider no woman has ever done so and is The Whale Rider to succeed. Her grandmother, Nanny, tells Pai that her second son, Pai's uncle, had won a taiaha tournament in his youth while he was still slim and so Pai secretly learns from him. She also secretly follows Koro's lessons. One of the students, Hemi, is also sympathetic towards her. Koro is enraged when he finds out, particularly when she wins a taiaha fight against Hemi. Koro is devastated when none of The Whale Rider boys succeeds at the traditional task of recovering the rei puta whale tooth that he threw into the ocean, the mission that would prove one of them worthy of becoming leader. With the loss of the rei puta, Koro in despair calls out the ancient ones, the whales. In an attempt to help, Pai also calls out to them and they hear her call. One day Pai, her uncle, her uncle's girl friend Shilo, and others take the boat to where Koro flung the rei puta into the sea. Pai confidently declares she'll find it and dives into the water. She finds the rei puta, which means that she is the rightful leader. Nanny does not think Koro is ready to accept this and does not tell him. Unknown to all, she had won an interschool speech contest with a touching dedication to Koro and the traditions of the village. However, Koro was late, and as he was walking to the school, he notices that numerous southern right whales are beached near Pai's home. The entire village attempts to coax and drag them back into the water, but all efforts prove unsuccessful, and even a tractor does not help. Koro sees that as a sign of his failure and despairs further. He admonishes Pai against touching the largest whale because she has "done enough" damage with her presumption. Also, the largest whale traditionally belongs to the legendary The Whale Rider. When Koro walks away, Pai climbs onto the back of the largest whale at the location and coaxes it The Whale Rider re-enter the ocean. The whale leads the entire pod back into the sea; Pai submerges completely underwater, and the spectators wonder if she has drowned but are relieved when she comes back above The Whale Rider level. Nanny shows Koro the whale tooth which Pai had previously recovered. When Pai is found and brought The Whale Rider the hospital, Koro declares her the leader and asks for her forgiveness. The film ends with Pai's father, grandparents, and uncle coming together to celebrate her status as the new leader, as the finished waka is hauled into the sea for its The Whale Rider voyage. In voiceover, Pai declares, "My name is Paikea Apirana, and I come from a long line of chiefs stretching all the way back to the Whale Rider. I'm not a prophet, but I know that our people will keep going forward, all together, with all of our strength. Castle-Hughes impressed Caro in the resulting workshop and was cast as Pai. There are very physical things that are described in the book — the sweep of the bay, the island that looks like a whale, the meeting houses, the number of houses that are present and of course, the people whose legend we were telling. The waka was given to the Whangara community after filming concluded. The film received critical acclaim and Castle-Hughes's performance won rave reviews. Pomeranz said "Niki Caro has directed this uplifting story with great sensitivity, eliciting affecting performances from a sterling cast, and a wonderful one from newcomer Keisha Castle-Hughes. The film has also been discussed, and praised, widely within academia. Anthropologist A. At the age of 13, Keisha Castle-Hughes was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance, becoming the youngest actress ever nominated for the award at that time breaking Isabelle Adjani 's record at the age of Chicago Film Critics Association :.

Whale Rider movie review & film summary () | Roger Ebert It won the audience awards as the most popular film at both the Toronto and Sundance film festivals, played to standing ovations, left audiences in tears. I recite these facts right at the top of this review because I fear you might make a hasty judgment that you don't want to see a movie about a year- old Maori girl who dreams of becoming the chief of her people. Sounds too ethnic, uplifting and feminist, right? The genius of the movie is the way is sidesteps all of the obvious cliches of the underlying story and makes itself fresh, observant, tough and genuinely moving. There is a vast difference between movies for year-old girls, The Whale Rider movies about year-old girls, and "Whale Rider" proves it. The movie, which takes place in the present The Whale Rider in New Zealand, begins with the birth of twins. The boy and the mother die. The girl, Pai Keisha Castle-Hughes survives. Her father, Porourangi Cliff Curtisan artist, leaves New Zealand, and the little girl is raised and much loved by her grandparents Koro and Nanny Flowers. Koro is the chief of these people. Porourangi would The Whale Rider next in line but has no interest in returning home. Pai believes that she could serve as the chief, but her grandfather, despite his love, fiercely opposes this idea. He causes Pai much hurt by doubting her, questioning her achievements, insisting in the face of everything she achieves that she is only a girl. The movie, written and directed by Niki Caroinspired by a novel by Witi Ihimaeradescribes these events within the rhythms of daily life. This is not a simplistic fable but the story of real people living in The Whale Rider times. There are moments The Whale Rider Pai is lost in discouragement and despair, and when her father comes for a visit The Whale Rider almost leaves with him. But, The Whale Rider, her people need her--whether or The Whale Rider her grandfather realizes it. Pai is played by Keisha Castle-Hughes, a newcomer of whom it can only be said: This is a movie star. She glows. She stands up to her The Whale Rider in painful scenes, she finds dignity, and yet the next second she's running around the village like the kid she is.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Whale Rider: The Re-enactment of Myth and the Empowerment of Women Abstract Whale Rider represents a particular type of mythic film that includes within it references to an ancient sacred story and is itself a contemporary recapitulation of it. The movie also belongs to a further subcategory of mythic cinema, using the double citation of the myth—in its original form and its re-enactment—to critique the subordinate position of women to men in the narrated world. To do this, the myth is extended beyond its traditional scope and context. After looking at how the movie embeds the story and recapitulates it, this paper examines the film’s reception. To consider the variety of positions taken by critics, it then analyses the traditional myth as well as how the book first worked with it. The onclusionc is, in distinction to the book, that the film drives a wedge between the myth’s original sacred function to provide meaning in the world for the Maori people and its extended intention to empower women, favoring the latter at the former’s expense.

When Jesus was a Girl: Polymythic Female Christ Figures in Whale Rider and Steel Magnolias Abstract Partially in response to Anton Karl Kozlovic’s call for research to refine the concept of the cinematic Christ-figure, this article examines Whale Rider and Steel Magnolias as Christ-figure narratives with the intention that the Christ-figure interpretation sheds light on the meaning and significance of the films, and that the two films’ oung,y female lead characters can illuminate the Christ-figure concept. Both films are polymythic Christ-figure narratives in that Christ-figure characteristics are present alongside elements from or allusions to other spiritual and mythological traditions. Both films also convey feminist sensitivities. The relationship between the films’ polymythic elements and eministf messages suggests some of the complicated possibilities of how Christ-figure narratives can function.

  • Ib Film Ii Summer Films and Reading
    IB FILM II SUMMER FILMS AND READING WHAT YOU WILL NEED • A “Netflix” or an “I Love Video” or “Vulcan Video” account to view movies. • A journal/notebook (prefer a notebook that you can bring to class). You will be writing journal entry responses to the films you watch. • Access to internet and MyBack • Mr. Regan’s email: o [email protected] REQUIREMENTS (to be completed by the first day of classes in August): This is worth three exam grades, a total of 300 points, literally the weight of your first three exams. 1) Select 15 films from the list provided (watch as many as you can!). You should watch 1 film from each of the categories, and the rest is your choice. 2) Write journal responses (1-2 pages each) for each of the films. Each response should be in paragraph form and should be about your observations, insight, comments, and connections that you are making between the reading and the movies you watch. Your writing will be much richer if you research information about the film you watch before you write – simply stating your opinion will not give you much material to write about and you will not be able to go beyond your own opinion – for example, read articles written on the film by critics (news paper articles from the New York Times, rogerebert.com, IMDB.com, filmsite.org, etc). You can also read the screenplay for the film at scriptcity.com or script-o-rama.com to get further insight. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOKS TO BUY AND READ: • Understanding Movies (12th Edition) [Paperback ] • Film Directing: Shot by Shot – by Steven D.
