firecatHere are several personal reasons why I liked the movie Whale Rider:
Has lots of happy attractive fat people being physically active, with only one or two fat-negative comments.
Qualifies under the Bechdel Rule (albeit a bit scantily on the bit "about something other than men").
Has a hauntingly beautiful music soundtrack.
Has lots of underwater shots.
Has whales.
Made me cry without killing any people. (I needed to cry, and I don't cry all that often over movies.)
Includes a somewhat realistic portrayal of depression.
Has some feminist sensibility.
Has some cultural sensitivity.
Has some excellent acting.
