フラガ-ル hula girls 2006

i had known director SangIl Lee from Scrap Heaven
so i would have expecting this film.
i was really impressed that fascinating visual and story telling.
but his the other film '69' was not right for me.

hula girls doesn't have a intense factor of Scrap Heaven.
but there are full of his sensibility.
the plot and environments are ordinary like a any other similar movies.
Swing Girls, Water Boys, Sister Act etc.
that kind of stuffs are just coming up my mind.
and as well as, Ewan McGregor 's Brassed Off(1996)
was adding properly.



In 1965, Joban Coal Mining Industry(Japan) would have building resort facility named by "Hawaiian Center"(spar resort) in spite of Coal mien's closing down for the bad paybilty.
It should have been expecting difficulties and firing with coal miner.



Coal mining company would teaching the hula dance to the miner's daughters for advertising "Hawaiian Center".
this film shows up how they will come to the Opening Ceremony for the "Hawaiian Center"
it comes from peaceful settlement and their harmony.





Aoi Yuu,蒼井優, is soooooo pretty, cute in this role "kimiko". i should have loving this actress again.
The remarkable dancing scenes from Hand and Alice and perfect harmony with character from Honey and Clover.



Most of all, i am satisfying to see Aoi Yuu's beautiful smile in this film in regardless of movie's quality.



As i said, Lee Sang Il directing with a adequate control without this kind of movie were doing frequently by excessive empathy.
and as well as,he was doing overcome the real story
because reality over exaggerated drama itself usually.



i think film shows change of understanding and unification of people through developing Industry.
there is no big story and themes.
just easygoing enjoyable human story.
Story of normal mankind.
regardless to say it's real or fake, maybe he tells us story about Human.



i was really delighted to seeing this movie.
