“Hula Girl”; Change is always certain
Watching movie called “Hula Girl” makes me realize again that change is always certain. The movie was on screen at my school in this evening, provided by Karin Hillen, Director of Alumni Office.
This movie will take you back to 1970s. At that time Japan economy was not as outstanding from the other Asian countries as today but there have been many choices that Japan have made which are different from other countries.
The story started with the announcement of Hawaii dancer recruitment. That poster is posted in the rural area in Iwaki, the Northern Part of Japan which majority of population relied on mining.
Recruitment of dancer in the area of miner.. Just misplacement?
At the first time, it is more than the misplacement since both things can not be mixed in to be the proper picture either miner in Hawaii dress or Hawaii dancer works in the mine.
It sounds ridiculous and nonsense, especially for the people who know only how to work in the mine and dig the black gold. Eventually, miner, the occupation of generation to generation finally has come to an end when the mining would be closed as the mine was replaced by oil.
When the change comes, there are two choices for everyone, mitigation or adaptation? As Davinci said that, the survival is about being fit. What shall we pick? either mitigate the environment to be fit with us or adapt ourself to be fit in with the context?
To answer which choice you should make, it is not easy to tell which is right or which is wrong because when you follow one path, you have to give up another.
Whatever you choose does not matter much about if it is right or wrong but much more about which choice that would make you feel no regret after decision is made.
Love, hope, dream, laughing, friendship, joyful dancing plus music and a lot of changes will also be found in this movie. Whether you are now interested with this movie or not, I will leave some clue for you and then time to make your own choice…

“As Davinci said that, the survival is about being fit.”
It’s NOT Davinci who talked about ‘survival of the fittest’ but CHARLES DARWIN!!!
