The perspective shown in the movie Hawaiian is the perspective of the Hawaiian people on imperialism. The Hawaiian people were not happy about imperialism. Once Hawaii was annexed many white tourists came into there beaches and acted like they were better than the Hawaiian people and began surf competitions and the Hawaiians did not feel respected as the citizens of this island. The sport of surfing that Eddie loved so much was taken away from him by the new white immigrants who came in and took over the beaches of Hawaii for surfing competitions that Eddie among other Hawaiian surfers were unfairly not allowed to compete in. The Hawaiian people were still not happy about imperialism in the mid-20th century even though it happened almost 100 years before.
