whale rider review

I think she was not seen as the "chosen one because she was a girl. She tries hard to act like a true leader but her grandpa doesn't let her and he is the external conflict in this movie. She proves herself by retrieving the necklace wich was the final test and also cause she rode the whale. I think that this movie showed how woman are as capable of what men are in terms of leadership. This sort of inspires girls to try hard for what they want even if its gender bias or as dangerous as riding a whale. Her support comes mostly from her grandma wich thinks she is a leader because she is from the same family. The whales are were sent because there village was in danger. Pakai gets on top of one and she goes into the ocean with him. The other whales follow her.
