All over the place
This movie is a mess. I couldn’t keep up with the Vai character because they used actresses who looked very different to each other, and supposedly older versions looked younger. When Vai’s grand daughter coincidentally called Moana is off to NZ, she’s older again than she would have been to start school there. Professional film reviewers say it’s consistent etc, but I think they were caught up in the token feminism surrounding the advertising of this film. I’m a female and I don’t like movies just because I’m told they’re about female empowerment – when the main character gave up so easily on an education she earned when people were trying to offer help she wouldn’t take. Then making her grand daughter go off for the same education away from her family and support (repeating history) is supposedly empowerment.Positive reviewers were fooled by your typical nostalgic island singing and really bad “traditional” dancing and the colourful costumes, views and ocean (the best actor in this film).
Beautiful film
