picture bride have an excellent look into hawaii past and the people who live there in that time . the time and money earn and the hour that these people have put into their life to survive and live and take a whole new meaning to blood and sweat and tear . the concept of date or matchmaking be something like what we do similar today via the net . just that be more of snail mail . very slow snail mail . the singing of the plantation song from the worker remind me of the southern plantation worker song of their demise and future goal . the movie show the hardship as well a soft romantic scene that hawaii can bring . like the stillness of a storm come and the sudden chaos of the rain and then the tranquility .
