I think the movie was pretty interesting but also confusing with the whale's. Pai wa always seen as an outside because her grandfather never liked her and because her twin brother was suppose to be the whale rider but he died. Pai always wanted to prove herself to her grandfather that she could actually do something.
Pai wasn't valued by the others because she was a girl. Pai's grandmother felt bad about Pai because her grandfather didn't really like her and he was always being mean to her. The grandmother felt it was unjust for Pai to be excluded from the tribe due to the fact that she's a girl. He kicked her out of the house because she wouldn't listen to him. Pai's uncle was teaching her the ways of the tribe without letting the grandpa knowing. The Grandfather accepted her because she proved that she's important and led the whales offshore. The last scene symbolizes that Pai was always going to be the Whale Rider and that it doesn't always have to be a female to lead the tribe. The dieing whale that was washed up on shore symbolizes that there tribe was falling apart
