Review for Princess Ka'tulani
by  John Thielking

PRINCESS KA'IULANI  PG 

Princess Ka'tulani is a romantic drama about a Hawaiian princess from 1888 who witnesses the takeover of her kingdom by the United States.  Although this movie has some storyline about the civil war that happened in Hawaii prior to the US takeover, there is suprisingly little violence shown on screen. Most of the movie focuses on the princess'es life in England and her romance with a rich man's son and what we see of Hawaii is mostly sandy beaches.

There is one brief battle scene of the civil war where one of the minor characters is killed, but the rest of the 7 scenes which involve violence are pretty tame, such as a group brandishing guns threatens the king, the headmistress at the Princess'es school in England rips up a love letter after the girls quarrel over it, two lovers' bikes crash together, the queen invokes a new constitution which the American diplomat thinks will put American lives and property at risk, men with rifles run in front of the palace with no shots fired and someone threatens to imprison the princess if she returns to Hawaii. 4 stars.

Previews included a somewhat violent preview for Winter's Bone and non violent previews for Solitary Man and I Am Love.
