ALOHA
Today's movie was
with George Clooney and a great supporting cast.
There is a complicated story here which in summary sounds like a fucking soap opera so I won't go into it. Because the film is not operatic at all but quite wonderful.
I am trying to figure out why this is. Perhaps the acting. The sly humor. The utter originality of the story line.
It is certainly a glimpse of Hawaii that we never have. It is like every place else. Try Southern California. A lot of traffic. People who ignore the beauty of where they are and clutter it all up. Dumpy houses. Not a surfer in sight but a few on a nice beach walk we get to share.
This is not a place where I would think of starting a film up. But here we are.
Clooney has two daughters and already a smart ass son-in-law in waiting in the person of the oldest's best male friend who turns out to be a rock.
I really liked it and would not mind seeing it again at all. A 4 out of Netflix5.
