“I don’t know what’s going on up there. It’s not an Air Force launch. They let me know what they want me to know. Private money’s running the whole thing. We work for them. This is the new military, captain….”
Cleverly wrapped in a light and likable romantic comedy, the 2015 movie Aloha by director Cameron Crowe and starring Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper presents some illuminating details and hidden hints on what may be going on in the skies over Hawaii.
The story contains an amusing portrayal of a certain space entrepreneur who, as private contractor to the military, begins to exert more power and influence than is warranted. Sacred territory of the indigenous Hawaiian people is to be rededicated and developed into a space center. What cargo are the satellites carrying into space? What is the real intention of the philanthropic and genial billionaire?
When a space weapon is directly pointed at Dennis Kanahele, the leader of the indigenous Nation of Hawaii, it is deactivated by the unique capacity of targeted sound beams.
Within a trivial love story, the film contains surprising elements of disclosure that—in view of the Maui fires—may serve as timely talking points.
Aloha can be purchased or streamed on various platforms.
