Congrats to Young Sid – reppin’ South Auckland HARD! And I LOVE Taisha – I read she had a CD out when I was at home but didn’t have time to pick it up. I’ll have to go online and order it. Thanks for the update, JJ!

Comment on Princess Ka’iulani – the film by Louisa

Ah, this is a tricky one. I give them props for wanting to tell the story and trying to do it right, they changed the script after strong objections from Kanaka Maoli (removed a controversial love scene) and I think their intentions are good. They’re just always going to be criticized because they aren’t native Hawaiian. I’m torn because I’m a big fan of Qorianka and although she doesn’t have the blood, she was raised right here in Honolulu – as a kid she used to busk down in Waikiki. She is really talented, as a singer, dancer and actress. It’s unfortunate that the filmmakers didn’t cast a Hawaiian girl in the role but because of her experience, they gave it to Qorianka. It’s like Cliff Curtis playing an Iraqi, Colombian, Mexican or any of the other ‘foreign’ roles he’s played. On the other hand, I think they could have sent a talent scout into the Hawaiian immersion schools and found an undiscovered talent and groomed her for the part. Like how they found Ana Paquin and Keisha Castle-Hughes in NZ. I guess they just weren’t willing to take the risk with an unknown. The Hawaiians have the same problem with The Rock playing Kamehameha but The Rock is putting his own money and name into getting that film made so I’m behind him all the way. It’s a great story that needs to be told and really hasn’t been yet. Well, that’s my 2 cents!

Man this is way cool interesting reading-I would definitely like to see this movie when it comes out. Pity that the Hawaiians could not tell their own story first from the insiders point of view of Princess Kai’ulani. And if Abigail Kawanakoa is the living descendant then what is the credibility of the filmmakers research into the background? I say the Hawaiians need to tell their own stories- not an outsider. I love this kind of historical stuff- even the promotional image is great,just draws you in…so, I’m waiting to see the movie now… :):)
