   Is 'Whale Rider' a good movie?

   • However, as awe-inspiring and inspirational as the story to "Whale Rider" is, director Niki Caro goes to unnecessary lengths to make sure you know why the movie was made, which detracts from the overall experience. Ich finde der Film enthält ein bisschen zu viel Gesang und ist nicht sonderlich spannend. Mir hat er leider nicht gefallen.

   Is the Whale Rider a good book?

   • “ The Whale Rider ” by Witi Ihimaera wasn’t what I was expecting: it deals with many more cultural, gender, and environmental issues than the average children’s book. The setting is a Maori village in New Zealand where Kahu has just been born.
