Whale Rider
|
IMDB rating: 7.80 Plot: On the east coast of New Zealand, the Whangara people believe their presence there dates back a thousand years or more to a single ancestor, Paikea, who escaped death when his canoe capsized by riding to shore on the back of a whale. From then on, Whangara chiefs, always the first-born, always male, have been considered Paikea’s direct descendants. Pai, an 11-year-old girl in a patriarchal New Zealand tribe, believes she is destined to be the new chief. But her grandfather Koro is bound by tradition to pick a male leader. Pai loves Koro more than anyone in the world, but she must fight him and a thousand years of tradition to fulfill her destiny. |

What's a good movie to watch?
I’m looking for a movie that has a deeper meaning than like a romantic comedy.
Is there anything like the whale rider or Samson And Delilah? I found both of those movies very interesting. I liked how they delt with love without being mushy and obvbious.
Or maybe something like The Green Mile or American History X. Idk I’m just in the mood for something sad.
Thanks!!!
Green Street Hooligans - this movie is truly based on my life! you will love it, its sad, and makes you think at the end..
Other movies..
The Departed
This Is England

"Let the Right One In"
Best movie I have ever seen, immediately after watching it I bought the book and the DVD.
It’s a swedish subtitled film from last year, but don’t let the subtitles put you off, it’s INCREDIBLE (:
It’s about two children who form a friendship, but there is something very dark about the girl.
Look up the trailer for it on YouTube and see what you think (:
