I cannot believe brought back KEISHA CASTLE-HUGHES, who played the best Queen of Naboo - Queen Apailana HERSELF, and they put her on THIS SINKING TITANIC OF A SHOW???

THE FUCKING INDIGNITY

Give me my Queen Apailana and the Amidalans: Naboo Rebellion show that Keisha Castle-Hughes, Keira Knightley, Rose Byrne, and I all deserve.

Whale Rider (2003)

When a film is described as “inspirational”, that can often actually mean cloying or manipulative. Take away the empowering and uplifting message in Whale Rider, and you’ve still got a great movie, largely thanks to the direction by Niki Caro and lead actress, Keisha Castle-Hughes. This is a story of powerful emotions.

In a small New Zealand village, twelve-year-old Paikea “Pai” Apirana (Castle-Hughes) dreams of becoming her tribe’s chief. Unfortunately, her grandfather, Koro (Rawiri Paratene), will not teach her to lead. Undeterred, she begins training in secret.

Though this is very much a film about the Māori people, it has universal appeal. It’s not an opioid crisis, or their land being taken away by some foreign power that’s caused the island's society’s decay. It isn’t climate change or the new world stamping out tradition that’s causing people to turn away from each other. It’s something deep within, something too deep to clearly define that's causing the edges of this normally tight circle to fray. Pai’s father left his home to pursue an art career in Germany after his wife and son (Pai’s twin brother) died. This left Pai to be trained by a grandfather who loves his family… but is stubbornly upholding traditions that prevent him from showing it. Other families too, have lost something. If someone - a new voice that can give all of these lost souls direction - doesn’t step up and take charge, the great wake (canoe) will never be completed and the damage - regardless of what caused it - done to these people will never heal.

There are two emotions at this film’s core. The first is sadness. Grandfather Koro can be so cruel that in any other movie, you would hate him. Writer/director Niki Caro takes us to a deeper level than that one emotion. We know why he is so unhappy, why he loses hope with each day. The same goes for all of the other fathers we meet. They’re not bad, just lost. It’s a thousand times more painful to see.

The second emotion is a tiny glimmer of hope. You've seen how determined Paikea is to learn even when she's forbidden to do so. You believe she will live up to her namesake, the man who led his people from Hawaiki to New Zealand on the back of a whale. If only she can learn to believe in herself as well. When she speaks up and defies her grandfather, you want her to keep at it but you know how much that's asking, particularly for a child. There’s a moment when she’s at her most vulnerable that comes in and just obliterates you like a sledgehammer hitting a glass cup. Before that scene, Keisha Castle-Hughes was so convincing in the role, that you just saw her as a person who might’ve been cast because this tale is semi-autobiographical or something. Suddenly, you realize this is something different. She’s good like you never knew a kid that age could be.

Whale Rider is the kind of movie you hold onto tightly. No matter how old you are, now is the right time to meet these characters and hear their story. The performances are spectacular and the emotions are so strong they’ll be as clear as the first time you felt them long after the credits are done. Everyone should see Whale Rider at least once.

Keisha Castle-Hughes in Whale Rider (2002)

Dir.Niki Caro

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.

A film to remember...
