4.0 out of 5 stars Little known gem 29 Jan 2013
By GL_Oxford
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is about time that this film became more widely available - 2009 film recently released outside zone 1 (US) through Greece though the language is English and subtitles can be switched off. It portrays the transition c. 1893 of the Hawaiian kingdom to annexation by the US on the way to becoming a US state. It is beautifully made, with a Merchant Ivory quality and fine acting. Many scenes are based in glorious British country house settings. The Hawaiian settings too are beautiful, and watch out for the authentic Hawaiian touches - Iolani Palace, feather leis, the kahili - royal feather standards - and Princess Kaiulani's touching hula dance beautifully framed by a grand stone folly in the country house grounds. This film deserves to be much better known and will be enjoyed by all those who love Hawaii.

1.0 out of 5 stars Irritating, incorrect and annoying 20 May 2012
By Hisame
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this film highly irritating, somewhat incorrect and annoying.

The filmakers decided that it really wasn't worth mentioning that the Princess suffered many more personal tragedies other than only losing her mother, uncle and her country and some twins she only met once as depicted in the film, evidently sisters, friends and other family just aren't important and don't make good film fodder.

The characters where either flash in the pan or undeveloped and Kaiulani herself I found particularly unconvincing, annoying, unpleasant and somewhat unlikeable. The whole evil teacher plotline was stupid, Kaiulani's father seemed lost, wooden and out of place throughout the whole film (she also seemed to despise him) and the endless scenes of heavy petting where unnecessary and went on for far too long. One wonders if the young gentleman would have been so attracted to the Princess if she was wearing her thick rimmed glasses and suffering migraines like she did in reality?

Maybe I was expecting too much from this film, (hence my disapointment) and I can only hope that at sometime in the future something better is made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See Movie for Hawaiians and Hawaiians at Heart 15 July 2010
By Crystal Kia Paul - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
I'm happy that someone did take the inspired action to make a movie about Hawai'i, that isn't all about the sexy hula girls and mai tai's. This movie has meat to it. The reason I say this is a must see movie for Hawaiians and Hawaiians at heart is that it makes you think. It makes you want to read and research your Hawaiian geneaology and Hawaiian history. The movie makes you to want to learn the TRUTH! As Hawaiians we must unite to move forward, we must educate our children like our ancestors did. We had a 90 percent literacy rate in the 1800's and early 1900's, our ancestors would be ashamed of us wasting our intelligence and not cultivating our youth to learn. I'm saying this to all people, educate your children!

The movie was very moving, a love story, with a beginning, middle and end. When we describe love, we tend to look at just the best parts and skip the ugly. Although the movie wasn't completely factual, it was a good depiction of how the time was and the politics of the day. How can you summize a person's life in 120 minutes? It's just a brief moment in time that is covered. Some of the facts were missing in the story, she did die on the Big Island and maybe that should have been shown, but there was enough sadness that we all know and understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Special Features included in the DVD Release 29 Jun 2010
By Roy J. Tjioe - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
The DVD includes a documentary entitled "Ka`iulani: Crown Princess of Hawai`i", which combines research, interviews with some of the film's cultural advisors, clips from the film, and many rare historical photographs specially restored for this program, to tell the true story of Princess Ka`iulani. The documentary covers Princess Ka`iulani's childhood, family, education in England, her brave fight to save the Monarchy of Hawai`i from overthrow by the U.S. government, her suitors, and her untimely passing. The documentary is intended as a factual, historical companion to the events dramatized in the film. It is a must-see.

The DVD also includes a featurette entitled "Princess Ka`iulani: Behind the Scenes", which includes interviews with cast members and filmmakers that provides a fascinating insight into the making of this important film: The first to showcase the Hawaiian Monarchy and the language of Hawai`i. In addition to the production of the film, the featurette explores the music behind the film, the unprecedented opportunity to film inside `Iolani Palace, and the challenges of balancing history and drama while maintaining respect for the culture of Hawai`i.

5.0 out of 5 stars great representation of a tragic story 16 July 2010
By Kimberly Solmerin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
There are so many wonderful things to say about the movie; its production; the period costumes; the actors...

What I appreciated most was hearing the Hawaiian language spoken so beautifully and seeing King Kalakaua portrayed onscreen. I was engaged and intrigued from the moment the movie started. I plan on watching it over and over and over again. When my daughter is old enough to understand the story, we will watch it together over and over and over again.

Don't miss this documentation of American history that Americans seldom discuss.
