Trivia

Received a great deal of criticism from audiences and reviewers who objected to the fact that although this movie is set in Hawaii, it depicts almost no Asian- or Native-Hawaiian-descended characters, and the one main character who is supposed to be of both Chinese and native Hawaiian descent is played by a white actress, Emma Stone. The Media Action Network for Asian Americans (MANAA) released a statement saying, "60% of Hawaii's population is AAPIs. Caucasians only make up 30% of the population, but from watching this film, you'd think they made up 90%. This comes in a long line of films [exploiting] Hawaii for its exotic backdrop but goes out of its way to exclude the very people who live there. . . . It's an insult to the diverse culture and fabric of Hawaii." Asian American and Native Hawaiian writers such as Entertainment Weekly's Chris Lee, MSNBC's Janet Mock, and The Daily Beast's Jen Yamato were among many who criticized the film's cultural appropriation and pointed out the offensiveness of casting Stone in her role.

I enjoyed it
29 May 2015 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

If you've traveled to Hawaii, have read or experienced anything about the culture, you will appreciate this movie. I especially liked how they expressed the meaning of 'Aloha'- peace and mercy, through the characters and their relationships,and the way they used Emmas character to showcase the nuances of the Hawaiian people and their beliefs. There were some plot holes, but they were, for me, easy to overlook because the relationships and the Hawaiian scenery and culture were the central themes of the movie. Its not an 'in-your-face' type of movie, its very subtle and you have to watch and listen softly; you'll find your internal motor down-shifting a few gears before the movie ends, much like Hawaii itself. If you enjoyed Elizabethtown, you'll like this movie.
