Educational & appropriate for all ages
I didn't know the true story of Princess Kaiulani, but this fictionalized film version also includes, on the DVD, a documentary about her that is just as interesting as the movie. The movie sticks close to the facts except for the added romance. It is appropriate for all ages (kissing; no sex or crude language). The acting is excellent and the scenery is beautiful. I was shocked to learn that the United States actually stole Hawaii from its educated and civilized royal family. Princess Kaiulani and her aunt, the queen, were strong, courageous women who displayed grace under great pressure. This film will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about Hawaii, as well as to fans of films about admirable young women, such as WILD HEARTS CAN'T BE BROKEN, LITTLE WOMEN, and ANNE OF GREEN GABLES.
