Haumana

This movie is so very stirring. We actually previewed it at the Big Island Film Festival, and heard a discussion with the creator. We were so excited to obtain our very own copy. The story is a wonderful lesson for all ages. The dancers are amazing.

Great movie! Seen our nephew as one of the characters (Kaleo). Good quality film with good lessons of family, honor, devotion and a sense of pride in our Hawaiian culture.

It was good to see a little of the traditional dance culture and it was also good to see a group of men come together in unison to form a dance troop

Male lead too weak, focus should have been on the individual dancers. Storyline should have included more historical facts on the Hula.

Several of the songs were my reason for buying this movie. The movie itself was not very good. I would hve been better off to just buy the songs I liked (one, mostly) on CD.

Thoughtful melodrama about hula, family, and tradition in Hawai'i, featuring some beautiful music by the Brothers Cazimero, breathtaking scenery, and heartfelt and generously crafted performances from local cast members (and a few adoptive mainland cast members, too). I'd like to particularly mention the young actors playing the group of hula students. I'd like to see this type of local film-making abundantly encouraged, supported, and funded. I'd like to see it take off. In the meantime, I think it's a good start to buy this film. watch it, and tell your friends. There are so many rich Hawaiian stories to share with the world through film. This is one of them, and it's a fine start. The wave will come.

This movie is the most boring movie I know of. Don't waste your money. This isn't a documentary, not a comedy, not educational, its plain boring.

I am Polynesian and can trace my ancestry back 78 generations. My DNA pool encompasses Tonga, Samoan, Fijian, Tahitian and Hawaiian and to reach out to the Maori race... I was born in New Zealand. My parents had myself and my siblings learn the songs, chants, dances, and legends of all the Polynesian islands. I love the heritage of the South Pacific. This film was touching in having the main character be taught by the best and returning to his roots to share his knowledge. Beautiful scenes, gorgeous dances, wonderful storyline. It's a keeper to share with my family and the upcoming generation.

Really nice dancing. Mundane plot. Tendency toward wooden acting.

Importなので日本語字幕はありませんが、実際に映画館で（字幕付きで）見たので 家でも繰り返し何度も見ています。DVDにはNG場面、カットされた場面、ミュージックビデオもついていて 楽しめます。

Excellent film specially if your interest is in Hawaii and its culture. It is also locally made in Hawaii, and one can feel the enthusiasm for the dance thru the film

フラに学ぶこと多しです。心や魂。一番大切なものは、あなたにとって何ですか？すごくよかったです。

映画館で観てとてもよかったので、家族で観ようとこちらを購入しました。音楽も素晴らしくて、最後のAloha Aku Aloha Maiでは本当に心が洗われます。私は字幕が無しでもなんとか理解できましたが（ストーリーはとても分かりやすいです！）、子どもたちには字幕があったほうが良かったかな（汗）
