Lisa Gerrard - Paikea Legend

[TheAtheistSwede]

It's a fantastic movie. I dare anyone not to tear up when the girl is on stage reciting the legend.

[thybuilder]

Great Movie.

[deanne609]

I love this movie..one of my favorites! And to the biker dude @daz636..YOU ROCK...LOL

[lilithseraph]

It was an amazing Movie. It was sad and haunting. We have lost so much with the death of our ancenstors.

[kikomiko1]

I'm a 96 year old prostitute- I love this film!

[firstmusic00]

@kikomiko1 Still turning tricks, uh?

[beautybrainsbrawn]

@kikomiko1 What? A prostitute? Are you joking? Don't depreciate yourself like that!!

[gwaaam]

@kikomiko1 was there a point to that?

[gentlefire100]

Anyone who has not seen this movie & wants a good dose of real courage, please view it! It is amazing...

[matigsalug]

I really enjoyed "Whale Rider" since a pastor in Hawaii gave us a copy in 2005. It's a wonderful view into Maori culture and history. Also very relevant to how many indigenous young people grow up with less than ideal family situations, and learn to accept God's role and identity for them in society and be richly blessed. I recently visited New Zealand and also recommend a 2010 really funny DVD, "Boy" I think both are available on Amazon, but "Boy is only in PAL format just now.

[deusislove]

esta pelicula, está muy hermosa, se las recomiendo....la leyenda de las ballenas

[AhMunnaEechu]

There's not another movie to which I could compare Whale Rider. It's on a level all of its own. Every time I see it, another truth is revealed in it. It's like reading a proverb one day, and its meaning hits you in a certain way, and then reading it again another time when you are in a different situation, and its meaning changes; you see it from a different light. Only great works have that ability.

[zimminkie]

A beautiful, inspiring movie in which a young female has to "prove" herself in a male-dominated/brainwashed tradition. Once we get past "gender" among other things...we may just save ourselves.

[slsherwoodwells]

Exceptional!! Have we lost time to be one with the earth-is it too late??

[sethias94310]

Une petite critique; les photos auraient du tenir compte de la chronologie et du cheminement ; c'est à dire commencer par le lever de soleil , sur le littoral et puis s'éloigner en s'enfonçant dans les profondeurs témoignant ainsi des hôtes de ces lieux,enfin revenir s'échouer sur le rivage. EN tout cas beau diaporama,belle musique;agréable!

[frozendragonfire1]

This song ends too soon.

[jenasis2012]

i saw it a cpl yrs ago and would buy it! fantabulously touching film

[2reapers]

one of my favorite movies of all time :)

[returnoftheramble3]

I have a feeling it's because they tend to their ill.

[returnoftheramble3]

[Gris1901]

[mrsfrodo9]

[jamesjowens]

so much beauty beneath the surface that most of us will never see without going to great effort, kind of like people, beneath the surface...

[Piringatahitu]

I nga ra tawhito, kei Whangara, I haramai a Paikea i runga i te Tohora nui, te tohora tino tapu. E whakamau ana te tohora i te moko tapu i runga i tana kanohi. I ngaro ana a Paikea kei waenga i Te Moana-Nui-A-Kiwa no reira i karanga atu ia ki te nga tipua o te moana mo te awhi, mo te tautoko. I tera wa, I whakakau ana te tohora tapu ki te awhi i a Paikea. Mai nga ra o mua tae noa ki tenei wa, he tangata kotahi a te toroha me Paikea hoki.

[neopetsp]

i'm studying the book in my school now, by the way does anyone know if the story in the book is true, with koro apirana and rawiri and nanny flowers and everyone else? I really wanna know. is kahu really real?

[crazyweirdo665]

@neopetsp I have no idea, im also studying it in school btw..... My teacher did say some parts are true....Well, they might have exaggerated....Ah- im not sure.

[mrsfrodo9]

My little nieces name is Paikea

[maukeandiva01]

kia orana i am a descendent of [paikea from the island of mauke i am from the direct line of paikea if you want to know more about the paikea legend your best to go back to where he first came from and where he origainates from yes the whale rider was a great movie but it would have been greater if it traced back where paikea originated from.

[ThereisNoGoingHome]

@maukeandiva01 have you ever ridden a whale?

I haven't.

I imagine it would be damn scary!

[Rootsngatiroots]

@maukeandiva01: Tena koe e hoa,

Whale Rider was written by Witi Ihimaera whom based it on the story of Paikea.

Paikea aka Kahutia o te Rangi whom came from Hawaiki ( East polynesia) arrived in Ahuahu, Great Mercury Island, Aotearoa. So, yes we do have to pay homage to the tangata whenua o Mauke

Ngati Porou whakapapa to Paikea son of Taneuarangi and Rongomai tahanui as well as Kahitia o te Rangi aka Paikea son of Uenuku and Rangatoro. The previous Paikea was in Aotearoa generations before.

..THX

[tessamri]

what a fantastic movie. brought out a lot of feelings.

[maria98173]

I love it!!!

[BELLALUNAESTRELLA]

The mystery of the Sea ....

Thank  you for this vid :)

[Gartefee]

wales are so mystic.....the kilometers they swim in theyres lives.........the path they find.

the sound of lisa gerrards voice so deep as the sea, mystic, somehow scarying and touching

[solnegrolunaroja]

The Sea is so beautiful and terrifyng; the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life is the Sun, sinking into the infinite waters...

[Nuiceltico]

Sublime I also live in NZ and once had a dream of riding a whale before I had heard of this local tribal legend.A great film and sound here.

[teddythebenny]

a worldless void.. free from the confines of civilisation.. the ruins of the sea.. the solitude of the deep sea..

[Jaeqo]

you took me to another world, when i read this...

[teddythebenny]

its just a simple thought, mesmerised by the past, epitomized by the voice of the sea.

[ThereIsNoGoingBack]

Otherwise known as, your bedroom.

[teddythebenny]

nahh.. actually could be !.. but nahh, merely looking at the ocean, from a window.. thinking a blue whale was going to jump out of the sea, and gobble up the house. .. reminds you of pinokio

[ThereIsNoGoingBack]

Thanks teddy.

Well said.

[beethovenbix]

"I'm from New Zealand where 'Whale Rider' originates. A Maori Tribe on the East Coast of NZ have an Ancestral founder named PAIKEA who supposedly rode a Whale through the Pacific to the East Coast of the North Island. The little

girl in the movie is a direct descendant but

is 'Cold shouldered' by her Grand Dad because he wanted a grandson to pass on his Tribal knowledge to - and because

of his coldness to her - she sets out to prove to him that she is as legitimate as any male heir is."

[Whyipeee]

Thanks alot dude, i like needed this so much. it was for a project and i couldnt find the song so i came here and u saved my ass

fucking hell thank you so MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

Man i wish i could so something for you cause u seriously saved me. LOL my project is due on the 30th.

So thanks again lol

[ZZtaurusZZ]

i thought this movie was for kids but then i gave it a chance. I WAS TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY RIGHT OFF THIS FUCKING PLANET>tears!!!!!

I recommend this movie to everyone!

[GoszkaSliwka]

What is wrong with You what crazy horse?

[mylabonte]

there is a song called crazy horse by JOHN TRUDELL....she stole that from him....look it up on myspace....but he confronted her and everything.

[treebee69]

I have heard John Trudells's Crazy Horse song, it sounds nothing like this you ignorant asshole. I suppose you can't differentiate. People will lie and say other people stole their music just for money because they are not as successful in the industry.

[mylabonte]

yea i wasn't refering to this song you ignorant cum stain....and she did steal John Trudells Crazy horse song. It's a fact you can't bullshit your way around that one.....OHHHHHHH bitch

[ytcarol]

@mylabonte can't you do anything but curse?  prove me wrong...

[AmbroiseDesLys]

Whale rider is one of the best movies of this time!

[venturalagrande]

not just the humans life is important.black- white-human-animal it is the same for mi(sorry my english is not the best i com from hungary)aber ich spreche ser gut deutsch:)

[skladanowski]

Sorry. I believe it's hypocrisy when you care about mammals in the sea, but you skip the problem of people in Africa and other painful places around the world.

[morenas919]

This is about people and they belived a taniwha in the form of a whale brougth their leader Paikea to safety.

That why they show whales in the clip

You nitwit

[skladanowski]

Thanks for clarification.

You smart aleck

[morenas919]

E iro e iro! :-D

[Erv187]

i'm not maori descent, I'm black. I didnt even see the movie before i made this. but i figured the movie had a significant importance with whales so i put whale pictures and things to do with the ocean. I just loved the song so much i had to put some pictures behind the song

[kaliyeal]

@Erv187 THE MOVIE WASNT EVEN ALL THAT lol

i dont think its a big deal to put whale pictures on with this song good job

[moilegrandbleu]

there are other ways to take care for the people of afrika.... the mammals from the sea can't change that... i think!!!

[gracieh69]

Just finished watching this movie, it's so beautiful and inspiring :)

[dalboiwhyms]

[sarabuffalo1]

@Erv187 really good, I made a whale and rider out of wool.

[Unilka]

@Erv187 i would consider this film in my top 50 world films list. It talks about many issues. Truely inspiring that I strongly recommend it anyone.

[CeeGeeZ]

@Erv187 All time top 5 fave films: consciousness raising; reality-experience confirming; deep sadness & letting go of human proclivity for bias; respect; courage; non-egoic love; honesty; purity &&&&&

[MrGlenMorris]

@Erv187 This film is in my home collection, in a vault. j/k.... I have to watch Whale Rider at least twice a year ever since it came out of production eight years ago. The album is another of my all time favorites.

Thank You

[vintientje]

@Erv187 It's a very touching movie. Basic, pure, and into my heart it went.

If you like a good filmhouse movie, you've really have to give it a chance.

Close to nature!

greetings.

[Shannon1970ful]

@Erv187 ...... This Movie Was Nothing Short Of Spectacular !!!!

[SkilzGirl]

@Erv187 Plz tell me you've seen the movie now?

[Erv187]

@SkilzGirl lol, now I have. It happened to show up on TV a while back. it was really good. I love the scene near the end of the movie, how she went under water while holding on to the whale. the whole camera angle and shot was amazing.

[zackinator007]

@Erv187 one of my fav movies :)
