Re: Movie Club Discussion!

[kamino_neko]

Not many thoughts on any of the questions, or any to start on my own... But to make the responses I do have...

2. Who was your favorite character in the movie? Your least favorite character? Why?

Favourite - Maui and Moana. The way they bumped off each other was a lot of fun, and how they subtly affected each other was a joy to watch.
Least - Moana's gramma. Just...yeah, sorry, she's more a talking macguffin than a character. For Moana to have her arc, her gramma's role was needed, but she clearly existed just to point Moana the way she had to go, so M could get going without being The Rebellious Daughter. (Despite this, I did love Moana spotting the glowing ray/Gramma's spirit...but that's entire because of how it affected Moana, not any fondness for her gramma.)

4. What did you think of the soundtrack and/or score?

I loved it, on the whole. But I'm going to buck the trend I've seen in most places.

How Far I'll Go is by far my least favourite of the songs. It's just...bland and unmemorable. It fills a similar role to Belle or Let It Go, but just isn't as good a song as either of them. And...honestly, the Where You Are scene did a much better job of doing How Far I'll Go's job, to me, as well as it being a better song.

And going off script... I'm surprisingly happy that they cast Alan Tudyk as HeiHei - it puts him in the movie (since he'd been in Frozen, Big Hero Six, and Zootopia, so it's good to continue the pattern), but making his main role a non-verbal animal means they don't have to break their desire to have the main roles filled by actors from various Polynesian peoples.

I liked How Far I'll Go but I would not call it my favorite. Know Who You Are was my frontrunner but it also had an advantage of being used with an awesome scene.

I didn't have any strong feelings towards the grandma. She was just there to be kooky.

I always find it odd when they cast any actor of note for a non-verbal animal role. Seems like they'd just grab some no named person to make the noises.

That was my first thought when I saw that Tudyk was cast as HeiHei, but then what I said above struck me basically all at once, and I became delighted by the whole thing.

I agree about How Far I'll Go, but I think a better comparison might be Hercules Go the Distance? It's very much a first song for a character who's just starting out. And I felt like it highlighted how much more powerful her later songs were and gave her a chance to grow.

But because of that, yeah, on it's own it's not as strong.
