LOL . . . when you leave it to others to tell your story, it is their story! So, instead of whining around how they didn't tell your story right, how about you step up and get the skills, the money the support to make your own story thata others will predictably critisize - just as you have done.

Q'orianka Kilcher represented Princess Kaiulani so well. She embraced her character beautifully. Loved the movie. Someone should've warned me to take lots of tissue to wipe the tears. We are Polynesian but our ancestors came from South America. Bottom line is she represented well. That's all that matters.

As a native Hawaiian I feel it doesnt matter if shes Hawaiian or not. It would be preferable, but as long as the story is told well then it is fine. It also doesnt hurt that she seemed to take the part seriously and with respect. Its a movie, and movies arent real, actors pretend to be all kinds of things they are not. If the truth of the story is told, then that is what is important.

[laylurr]

why didn't they choose a REAL hawaiian girl to play princess Ka'iulani??!?!?!

[curatrix2008]

@laylurr . . . Her resemblence to Princess Kaiulani is quite remarkable. For that, if no other reason, she was a good choice.

[curatrix2008]

@laylurr . . . Yes laylurr. And, why haven't hawaiians made their own movie about her and others.

This is so interesting. Q'Orianka is from Peru and so Hawaiian looking. What is the name of that Foundation?
