Emma Stone’s controversial rom-com is now available to watch on Netflix
As a cinephile with a keen eye for diversity and representation in films, I must say that Emma Stone’s controversial romantic comedy “Aloha” is a film that leaves me both intrigued and disappointed. The 2015 production, directed by the talented Cameron Crowe, offers an interesting storyline but stumbles on its portrayal of cultural sensitivity, particularly in the character of Captain Allison Ng, played by Stone.
You can now stream the much-debated romantic comedy “Aloha,” starring Emma Stone, on Netflix in both the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In 2015, a movie was released that was directed by Cameron Crowe, known for Jerry Maguire. This film tells the story of an American Air Force officer who relocates to Hawaii as part of his duties. Upon arrival, he encounters conflicts with the locals and experiences both romantic entanglements and family complications.
The movie “Aloha” boasts an illustrious ensemble featuring Bradley Cooper, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray, John Krasinski, and Alec Baldwin, yet it was the character of Captain Allison Ng portrayed by Emma Stone that stirred up a significant amount of controversy.
Captain Ng is reportedly half Chinese and half Hawaiian, whereas Stone does not share this heritage. This difference was noted in Stone’s character portrayal, as well as the ongoing trend in Hollywood of casting Caucasian actors for roles set in Hawaii.
At the Golden Globes 2019 event, actress Sandra Oh playfully jabbed at a certain movie, labeling it as a studio production featuring an Asian-American lead, which later led Drew Barrymore (Stone) to express her apologies.
In a short while following the movie’s premiere, Crowe expressed his apologies, saying: “It was a source of great pride for us to provide employment opportunities on the island for more than four months to both locals and members of the film industry.
Emma Stone was one of the most dedicated in conducting extensive research, and if any aspect of her captivating portrayal has sparked debate and controversy, I take responsibility… I appreciate the open conversation. And among all the varied opinions, I’ve discovered an incredibly enlightening lesson.
I’m eager to share tales that offer a wider spectrum of racial diversity, authentic representation, and I look forward to contributing to such narratives in the coming days.
About the same period, Stone shared with news.com.au: “I’ve come to understand on a broad scale the mad history of casting whites in Hollywood and how widespread the issue really is. This understanding has sparked a discussion that’s incredibly relevant and crucial.
As a gamer putting down my controller for a moment, let me share some thoughts about Aloha, a movie that didn’t quite hit the mark. Critics weren’t exactly raving about it – in fact, it only managed a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Sadly, it also failed to recoup its production costs at the box office. It was a bit of a disappointment for those who were looking forward to it.
Aloha is now available on Netflix.
