Princess Kaiulani 英語發音 繁體中文語言字幕版(DVD版)(適用任何家用DVD播放機)
The film stars Q'Orianka Kilcher in the role of Princess Ka?iulani, one of
the last heirs to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaii. This movie was shown
in Hawaii International Film Festival under the title Barbarian Princess;
afterward, Roadside Attractions acquired this movie's United States rights
and changed this movie's title for United States release.[2]
The movie follows the progression of Ka?iulani's short life, beginning with a
happy life in Honolulu interrupted by the events surrounding the imposition
of the Bayonet Constitution. The movie follows her through her education in
Victorian England, the announcement of the overthrow of the Kingdom of
Hawaii, her campaign to attempt to convince the United States to reverse
the overthrow, and her return to Hawaii.
The historical events are generally portrayed accurately, though some of
the details, for example the reasons for King Kal□kaua's signing of the
Bayonet Constitution, are not explained in detail. In contrast, many of the
personal details of the princess's life, including particularly the depiction
of her love life, are representative of who she was rather than strictly
historical. Her life also included many significant events that are not in
this movie.
The movie was written and directed by Marc Forby, and also stars Barry Pepper
as Lorrin Thurston, Will Patton as Sanford B. Dole, Julian Glover as
Theophilus Harris Davies, and Shaun Evans as Clive Davies.
The first public performance of the movie was in Honolulu on October 16,
2009, at the historic Hawaii Theatre, as part of the 2009 Hawaii
International Film Festival.[3] The performance was sold out.
