HONOLULU, Hawaii (The Adobo Chronicles) – Columbia Pictures is releasing a slightly different version of the new film ‘Aloha’ in Oahu and the rest of the neighbor islands.
It is practically the same film with a different title. The local version of the Cameron Crowe film is titled “Haoles.” It stars Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Bill Murray, Rachel Adams and Alec Baldwin.
The film is about a celebrated military contractor who returns to the site of his greatest career triumphs and re-connects with a long-ago love while unexpectedly falling for the hard-charging Air Force watchdog assigned to him.
Columbia Pictures agreed to change the title of the film’s Hawaii version in response to criticism that except for a few unnamed extras, the film features an all-white, non-Asian or Pacific Islander cast — despite it being set in Hawaii.
Some Native Hawaiians also frowned on what they said was the commercialization of one of the most sacred and beautiful Hawaiian words.
