Whale Rider - 7

This is a great movie about storied living. It deals with ancestry and tradition, and the story that our lives are a part of both from our past and into our future. It asks the question, where did you come from and where are you going? What brings meaning into our communities? There is also a theme of loving what we want to love, rather than to love what must and should be loved, sometimes it is our eyes and ears that are the problem not what we are looking at or what we believe about reality. Sometimes we speak into reality, and sometimes it speaks into us. Knowing the difference is where we fail, falter, and sometimes become our true selves. Where are you from, and where does that point you into the future? In this question lies the answer to how we learn to love.
