this commentary might contain spoiler for the movie . ( this be originally gear toward the user theprovinces to help clear up any question others might have from his critique . ) first and john groberg do not produce this movie . he do not contact any production agent about it himself . they come to him after read his autobiography . the director or producer mitch davis be not mormon ( a he indicate on the commentary ) and and far the majority of the other cast and crew that work on the film be not mormon either . the tongan people be not put off by this film and but rather be very much in support of it . it be an acurate depiction of their lifestyle in the 1950 ( do you realize that when you write this . ) . a indicate in the commentary and the people live on the island that the film be shoot on be very much in support of the film . they even have a polynesian prayer ceremony where all the tribal leader and minister of other faith gather and pray for the success of the film production and all on their own without any compulsion from the film crew . you reference the scene where elder groberg walk after the sol of his foot be eat by rat . the director say that that really occur and it be not him be god like or have a miracle happen . it be an event that be entertain to the people on the tiny island . they really do not have a lot to do in their day to day routine and it be funny to watch a man from a distant country walk after something like that . as far a the girl seduce elder groberg and her mother want him to father half white baby go and something like that be not hard to fathom . a explain in the film by the girl mother and that could have get them high status in the tribe . but because he refuse and they be initially insult and sham . it wasn not until he explain to the mother what true love mean to him that she finally understand where he be come from . and your comment regard her be the most beautiful tonga ( n ) be very opinionated . regardless of the degree of attractiveness and his reaction would have be the same . she may have not be that attractive in real life and but if you be the producer and wouldn not you have do the same thing . they be only try to point out his strong moral . ( if you want to see what she really look like she be at the very begining of the movie in one of the picture of the tongan . ) you be also incorrect in your reference to the dead child . he be not breathe because of the mango in his throat and and therefore by all outward appearance dead . once the mango be out and the boy remain in a coma because of his fall from the tree . the father of the boy be also mormon and and bring his son to elder groberg because of the trust he already have for him . the director later interview the boy and now a grown man living in california and and he say the accident happen on a tuesday and he wake up late thursday . if you couldn not tell on your own and the point of this movie be not to see who he end up with . that doesn not matter . what matter be the life change experience both he and the people he teach go through . yes these people be primitive and but elder groberg learn that that doesn not make them inferior or him superior . what it do show be that strength can be find in everyone . they learn from each other . in fact the director state that elder groberg learn far more than he teach . these people be not in need of save ( at least temporally ) and but be in fact a thriving intelligent community of people who do not need the thing of the world . it be not like they be a polytheistic society . several other missionary from other church and like methodist and be already there and preach the word of the lord and about jesus christ . so if you attack him for be mormon and you should also attack the others there that be of other religion . elder groberg be far from be perfect . he be portray a be arrogant and a see in the opening scene with anne hathaway and determine a show in the scene where he learn how to speak tongan and and frighten a show in the scene where he and his companion be confront by the small mob . anybody know that these be not quality of a perfect person . in no way be this movie racist either and unless your idea of racism be speak the truth . this island culture be basically that of a third world country where access to thing of the world and contact with the world be seldom available . they do not always want that contact anyway and as observe when the austrailian yacht come look to trade booze for woman and the people be desperately beg their own child to not go with them . i be sure missionary from any religion can relate to many of the experinces elder groeberg go through . just because it be a film about a mormon missionary doesn not mean it not relatable to everyone . the movie be not even about the religion and but it be about the experience of living with a culture unlike your own and learn that everyone have a mission in this world . elder groberg story be one of truth from a very upstanding man and take straight from his autobiography and authenticate by the people who live it . i should know and i have meet him and i know the kind of man he be .
