  • This "South Pacific" is different and compelling. "Happy Talk" is usually a pseudo-happy-happy sugary song with Liat making little birdie hands. The movie's "Happy Talk" drove me nuts. This version got a lot of applause, rightly so. Very dark, shows the desperation of Bloody Mary working the situation to try to improve Liat's station in life -- and Cable's being torn apart by knowing his love for Liat will never be accepted back at home.

  • This is about a woman prostituting her daughter. It's not about finger dancing.

  • @RockDoctorLV It's called an interpretation. I was Bloody Mary when My school did this, yet I made my character more rough and motherly than the film had her (it turned out fantastic) We didn't do the finger dancing either because it was akward when Sakura did it (she was Liat), instead we had her do a traditional polynesian dance. What the Liat in the film is doing is a more realistic dance than the finger puppets anyways (btw that is NOT ballet). As I said it's simply up to interpretation.

  • What was the director thinking? Tossing out Liat's finger "dancing" as presented in the film and substituting a mini-ballet doesn't instead doesn't quite add up.
