Amazing and courageous! I haven’t seen the movie/story/reworking ala Hollywood yet, I had my missgivings, but now I’ll see it under this context. I have heard only constructive criticism of the movie, e.g., the Hawaiian Ku’e not mentioned, Cleveland Lili’uokalani agreement, also not mentioned etc., which really brings to the forefront a Nation’s protest and subsequent invasion by a foriegn power helped by treasonists. However, Ms. Kilcher’s protest at the Hale Ke’oke’o Melika is another blow to the integrity of the Occupier…if they ever had any integrity in the long run.
We from Hawaii stand in solidarity with Q’orianka Kilcher and her people. We also say mahalo nui loa for portraying our Princess Kaiulani and calling attention to the fact that her efforts to free Hawaii from the clutches of America have not been in vain. The movement is alive and gaining momentum each day.
Aloha and Mahalo hou for the HIB for giving information and an opportunity to speak,
I went and saw the movie, my friend didn’t like it, however, I found it wonderful and disappointing all at once. I was told the opening scene of the lighting of ‘Iolani Palace (Honolulu?) with Princess Ka’iulani never happened but it did set the tone of the characters…the pono and the scoundrels. The two scenes, for me, that were worth the price of admission was the beach entourage lei scene after the Princess returned home, and the formal dinner scene with the Queen, Princess, Loren Thurston, and Sanford Dole and the speech and reaction over universal sufferage. I am going to have to look into Sanford Dole as he appeared to be for the Queen and yet working with the PG…probably more to the story. My friend didn’t like the movie because he couldn’t get past the Hollywood type condensing of events…like the romance element and the historical inaccuracies. The women were strong, courageous, loving, clear sighted, and not spiteful and I enjoyed the charactersations.
Um how did she even become famous anyway?!
