The film looks like a middle-aged man's family crisis, but in fact reflects the living conditions of the natives of the Hawaiian Islands. Today, more than 100 years after being invaded by the United States, the original indigenous people have also been integrated into modern life, forgetting the meaning of being indigenous. The brothers of the male protagonists enjoy millions of easy benefits every year, which reflects the fact that the natives on the island of Hawaii are gradually forgetting that they were the masters of the island, forgetting their own responsibilities, and gradually being accepted by them. The money brought by tourism development is bewildered. And the young man hit by the old man's angry punch represents that anger. Many episodes in the film reflect the director's original fascination with Hawaii. The bars of the aborigines are all old people, and the children feel very good after seeing them. The old people are barefoot, while the young people like to enjoy the beach to the fullest. When the actor finally decides not to sell the land, it also reflects the Aboriginal people's unwillingness to give up the last bits of Hawaiian tradition and history that haven't been modernized.
This movie is very good. By describing the relationship between husband and wife, the relationship between parents and children, the relationship between the elderly and descendants to reflect the original culture, the original nation, the history and the current modern conflicts. Let the man understand the responsibility of the family, and then the eldest daughter understand the responsibility of being a sister. to map the responsibilities that Native Hawaiians should have towards their homeland.
