[computerjantje]

What a great movie with amazing acting by Keisha Castle Hughes. Thankyou Niki Caro.

[AlwaysRainsOnTheHero]

Who's the kid actor? He looks familiar, when was this film made?

[aVampireTear]

@AlwaysRainsOnTheHero

The actor is a girl ;) Keisha Castle-Hughes, she won an award for this role

the film came out in 2002/2003

[AlwaysRainsOnTheHero]

@aVampireTear Thank you. No offence to her, but really looks like a little boy lol. Thanks =)

[winstonlin143]

I wonder why Keisha was nominated for a supporting SAG award for this film...

[sanctina]

beautiful movie.. they should do more movie like this more often.God , The Great Spirit made man keeper of nature , not to destroy but be its caretaker..we have no respect for nature anymore that's why the wrath of nature has been on us floods,tsunamis, wildfire..let us think of our future generation before its too late.nature has given us enough subsistence but unfortunately not enough for man's greed..

[jetz84]

[directorlog]

Brilliantly shot, Keisha done good job in this scene.

[AhMunnaEechu]

@aVampireTear lol yea sorry, I thought this was the video I had heard it on. I forgot to delete that comment after I realized this wasn't the same one. I love your vid though. My favorite scene and beautifully portrayed :)

btw I found the song I was looking for. It's deep forest - lullaby (ambient mix) check it out.

[CeeGeeZ]

Thank you so much for posting this!! Believe it or not-when I first watched this film on telly-I watched it continuously for a holiday weekend: each viewing focusing on different scenes and existential relevance to all-of-earth-living-throughout­-time. Means so much finding these scenes here now as i have no idea where I put the video and things for me are characteristic of millions of fellow citizens in this survival climate. Thank You!!~{^_^}~

[Unilka]

Where is the music is from then? It fits perfectly...

[Alishimwaah]

perfect... just the scene i needed to finish my assignment :)

[GAM3Rchick1218]

[vicens1942]

ESTE VIDEO ES UNA VERDARERA MARAVILLA,LA IMAGEN Y LA MUSICA,"chapeau"

[comotionsemotions]

[andremeert]

My favourite scene from the movie!

[narval59]

So do i ! But i really prefer the music of Lisa GERRARD !

[d4rk4knight]

lol im thinking hancock...

[princesskimmyangel]

MII TOO

[carlyrose10]

im also studying this movie for english c lass.. its got a gr8 meaning and message

[themightycelestial]

My favorite part of this movie is how the main character triumphs over the ages old belief that in order to be a chieftain, one must be a male. And in the process, she makes both that old tradition and a whale her b#tchez.

Yay for Girl Power!

[flashrobbie]

@themightycelestial - that was exactly the sticking point for me in Whale Rider - there have been and still are really politically powerful Maori chieftainesses, especially in the area where this movie was set, since way before European contact.

[DeathShamans]

best movie for women in 2500 years

[derekpirini123]

Kia u paikea ki ahua u paikea kei te whiti

a koe ko kahu tia te rangi! great movie but

keisha castle hughes? thats just un MAORI!

[drexelfall]

[harvestarr]

[u2konline]

The music that they use in this , is not on the soundtrack, i wonder why.

[aVampireTear]

I put the music there ;)

[u2konline]

whats the name of the sound?

Sounds good.

[Unilka]

@aVampireTear and you did a brilliant job.

[hermionefan3]

You mean the thing on it at 0:27? When I was watching this I asked the same question and my dad said that those are barnacles.

[pink480]

oh and by the way, does anyone know what the disgusting white lumps on the whale are?

[pink480]

We are reading the short story of this for english but we are only aloud to read 1 chapter per lesson so you kind of forget what happens but its really good!! you should buy the book, its very worth while. i didnt think it would be my kind of this as im not into tribal foreign stuff - im more into real life dramas BUT i surprisingly enjoy it very much!!

[randomvideosrock]

Same!

[pink480]

What year are you in?

[patclaudowen]

wow !!!

Is that a movie? Will have to look that one up !

[hermionefan3]

Yeah, it's a movie. The movie is based on the book.

[stoofermouse]

I am thinking of going to nz to live, i think i should show this to my lovely other half, rather than once were warriors ,to show her the maori people.

[Lyvans]

Merveilleux film ! =)

La bande son également, good job ! ;)

[FOD2B]

This is inspiring!

[Waterbaby225]

doin dis 4 my english novel its not 2 bad but hopefully da film is better ...

[pink480]

we r doing this 4 english aswell

[Monty7395]

For my english I have to read the novel Whale Rider, it's so good, both the book and movie are stunning!

[kamauoha1234]

i love this movie it has a great feel of the maori culture and it's an amazing movie..

[ohworldgirl]

The first time when I saw what happened at 3:16 I cried my eyes out.... this brave, giving little girl who could dig so deep and be so unselfish was amazing to me. She WAS Paikea at that point.

:: The music here, I didn't like - the version I have is different with more of the Lisa Gerard music that runs throughout the film. That music pushes a drama - but that scene doesn't need music like that to help it stir up drama in the hearts of the audience.

[BizzyLizzy132]

heartbreaking ,so sad.

[DracoGem]

Oh God... I cried so much when I watched this movie. It's a fantastic movie! And a beautiful representation of the Maori culture.

[dobergirl7]

fantastic movie :)

[bethsheeba3]

This is how I feel about whales....a fabulous movie...it because I feel like this I will never forget Collette.

[vaevictisIV]

Beautiful and sad!!!

[bethsheeba3]

ALWAYS CRY>

[melissagillette07]

I love this movie and cry everytime I watch it!!Would like to see this clip with the actual dialog.

[rachaelannedonnelly1]

To know why she's doing that you need to see thw hole film, it's brilliant, one of my favourate, even researched their culture and how strong their beliefs are. Lovely video with some nice music. Where is it from?

[andinsky]

[xrdb93x]

How beautiful this movie is! How emotional! I've never seen it before in my life! Please post more clips like this one. Thanks.

[BadPsyTron]

This clip is very emotional.

We don't have much time left... to save the whale. Stop putting money in money making projects.

Save the world now!

Save the whale and save the Tiger and save the world.

Sorry that I made this respond on your video mate. But it's true. We need to safe this planet from the Dumb people ajnd make a stand.
