Oh, My Partner...?
Not something we see often: a Filipino and a Native Hawaiian who are part of rival sides in a love story. Very Romeo and Julian without the sad ending. Yes, please. There are more underlying themes besides the cute story: exploration of culture, stifling traditions and the influence of colonialism. And then there’s those Hawaiian guys dancing.
Now, if you are really interested, here's a link to the whole movie. He mea iki.
XOXO

ReplyDeleteAs the saying goes within the (any) writing community, "There's no such thing as a new story. Shakespeare already wrote it." And to quote Tony Award winner Zakes Mokae, who I had the pleasure of working with once, "It's **always** about relationships."
XOXO

ReplyDeleteWhen cultures collide. All relationships are about compromise. Those that aren’t are usually abusive and controlling.
Saved the movie for later. 😎
XOXO 👨🏼❤️💋👨🏽
