A Girl? Never!
Young Maori challenges tradition.
WHALE RIDER: Written and directed by Niki Caro,
based on the 1986 novel by Witi Ihimaera. Produced by Tim
Sanders, John Barnett, Frank Hubner. Cinematography, Leon
Narbey. Editor, David Coulson. Music, Lisa Gerrard. Production
design, Grant Major. Maori cultural adviser, Hone Taumaunu.
Starring Keisha Castle-Hughes, Rawiri Paratene, Vicky
Haughton and Cliff Curtis. Newmarket Films, 2003. PG-13. 102
minutes.
T
his film has much to recommend,
but one of the most important is its
evocation of place. The Maori of
New Zealand are very active participants in
the place where they live. Every tribe has
its marae, a large piece of land and associ-
ated building. The people of Whangara, a
coastal village on the East Coast of the
North Island, have a marae that faces the
bay and a distinctive, beautifully decorated
meeting house where all tribal events of
significance take place.
However, these people have witnessed
the decline of their culture. Young people
move to the cities; unable to find work, they
turn to alcohol, drugs or else become thugs.
When the film opens, customs and native
language are being lost, and old tribal ways
are dying out.
So it’s a pleasant surprise that in this vil-
lage, school children learn to perform Kapa
democratize the way the people approach
their collective spiritual, tribal life. After
all, her father named her Paikea for the
(male) tribal ancestor who the myth says
arrived in the village on the back of a
whale, a legend 1,000 years old.
One of the film’s few subplots involves
old grudges between Koro and Pai’s father,
Porourangi (Cliff Curtis), who has made a
name for himself as an artist in Europe. He
doesn’t come to the village often, though he
loves Pai. But the old man cannot forgive
his eldest son for not following the old
ways. Koro wanted to teach Porourangi the
war movements called haka, Maori
weaponry and traditional chant. But instead
Koro must teach the village lads, while Pai
secretly observes and practices.
Grandmother Nanny Flowers (Vicky
Haughton) is the intermediary between Pai
and Koro, but she is no pushover. She
stands up to her prickly husband and is also
a cultural leader. He may rule the tribal
government, she says, but at home she’s the
boss. So when she suddenly packs up Pai’s
things, the 12-year old knows that it is time
for her to stay elsewhere until Koro returns
Niki Caro’s film not only empowers
girls to dream big but also shows
how traditional male roles can be
re-shaped to include everyone,
equally.
Haka, the Maori songs, dances and myths
that sustained the people for many cen-
turies. Pai (Keisha Castle-Hughes) loves
the old lore. She is eager to perform, espe-
cially for her grandfather, Koro (Rawiri
Paratene), an elder tribal chief, who picks
up the girl at school every day on his
ancient bicycle. Grandfather believes that
Pai’s twin brother, who died at birth, with
their mother, would have become the new
leader of the Ngati Konohi, a subtribe of
other Maori who live along the coast. But a
girl? Never!
Pai is pretty young to harbor such ambi-
tion, yet she is determined to show Koro
that she is capable of learning what a chief
must know. But he rebuffs the girl’s
attempts to connect with him. His cruel
words and dismissive attitude are hurtful.
But we know something from watching her
that neither Pai herself nor Koro know: She
is a natural leader, and her decisions will
to himself. He has suffered a great disap-
pointment over the poor performance of the
boys he’s been training.
Paikea, which also means “whale,”
emerged from the watery world at this
spectacular bay. Whales still visit, and they
are very special to members of the tribe.
When Pai needs to be alone, she walks out
to the large outrigger canoe abandoned by
her father long ago and looks at the bay,
waiting for a sign. One of the loveliest
scenes is Pai singing to the whales, calling
them in a whale-like chant from this boat
on land.
A perfect film for older kids and parents,
Niki Caro’s film not only empowers girls to
dream big but also shows how traditional
male roles can be re-shaped to include
everyone, equally. Opens Wednesday, July
2 at the Bijou. Winner of Sundance 2003
audience award, this film is very highly rec-
ommended.
