Movie Review 6

I watched a movie. The movie is ‘Whale Rider.’ This is New Zealand’s movie. The main character is Paikea. She was born in Maori line. She is only child in the line of the tribe’s chief because her mother and her twin brother died during childbirth. But Maori has traditional rule. In Maori, the leader should be the first-born son. She was named same name to hero ‘Paikea.’So her grandfather ‘Koro’ always thinks Pai is useless child. But he had the other side of loving her. Her father ‘Polo’ came home when she was 12 years old. Koro hope Polo will be next leader. But he rejected the proposal. And Pai suffered her being. Polo asked she go out the town with Polo. But she heard whales voice in the car. So she stopped that she go out the town. Koro trained boys in the town because he must decide next leader. But he didn’t find next leader. He found some whales were thrown on beach. They tried to return the whales to beach. But whales didn’t move. They gave up. But when Pai rode on biggest whale, the whale and other whales returned to sea. And Pai became leader.
I think Koro suffered between his vocation and his love. Finally, he liberated the worry. And Pai became leader. So I am happy. The movie is so mysterious. I heard Maori. But I didn’t know the folk. The movie showed me about Maori. The legend of Maori is mysterious and fantastic. I am interested in Maori. My friend ‘Narumi’ likes New Zealand. So I want to talk about Maori. I found every area has mysterious legend. Japan has a lot of legend. So there are more many legends around the world. I could be interested in the legends. I want to know Maori more. And someday, I want to go to New Zealand. (313words)
