this be a great film . from read other review and i can see that i be not the only one who shed a tear . tamilyn tomita act with such skill and conviction and she make the end heartfelt and memorable . in the hand of a less actress and her last scene would have seem trite and corny . one would never guess this film be do on a tight and limited budget . the cinematography be gorgeous and there be a number of big name actor . the script be so wonderful and i can see why they all want to be in it . if you watch the long and long list of credit at the end and you will see that half of hawaii pitch in to make this film happen and and for good reason . the soundtrack ( available on cd ) be absolutely beautiful and set the mood throughout the film . my only complaint be that i almost do not want the film to end .
