And Eddy the old motherfucker,
Sitting in his apartment,
Right there, in the Trade Winds building.
Put the gun to his head, then pulled the trigger.
You won't believe this.
The bullet lodged between his skull and brain,
Turned his head, then out through his eye sockets.
- No way. - Maybe!
He wore an eye patch a whole year yesterday.
He couldn't even kill himself.
We can't blame him.
Maybe we don't deserve to go that easy.
Here . - Hey .
- That's not necessary. - Stop it, Masao.
There's no need to be ashamed. Just take it.
I knew when you called me you needed money.
Its OK.
What am I going to do with it?
What's wrong with you?
If we don't take care of each other, who else?
I remember when all this was beautiful green land.
How was your morning when you woke up, Mr. Matsuyoshi?
Masao.
You have to stop smoking and drinking.
Pain and fatigue will be hard to predict.
Masao ...
Can anyone come and help take care of you?
Masao?
Moki.
Halo?/ Henry.
Father?
I only thought about you when you were little.
Do you know what time it is here?
The difference is six hours.
Right.
Six hours.
They spit on me.
Who, Mark?
Bus.
I have to go to Akano every morning at 10.
He snapped at me.
He wants you to come at 8 in the morning, Mark.
Do you understand that?
Did he really snap at you?
The bus guy who spat on me.
He will lose his job.
Are you thinking about letting him live with you?
I can't take care of him.
Brother or sister can?
His brother is on the main island.
His sister's house was full.
Cousin? Aunt?
Not.
No, it's just us.
Mark?
It's the anniversary of my mother's death.
Have you seen him?
Who?
Mother.
What?
Mother. He stopped by.
He says they all came back.
Why now?
Father!
- I'll bring this. - Okay.
- Happy birthday, Grandpa! - Happy birthday, Dad.
- I brought you something. - Thank you.
- Say what? - Thank you.
Father?
I want to give this to you.
Maybe that can help you.
It was from a long time ago, before America.
That's expensive.
Where did you get this from?
A descendant of the Queen gave it to me.
What do you mean, a descendant of the queen?
Okay, wait, wait. Make room for this.
Good grief.
- Yes! - That's for everyone.
The dishes are many.
Dad, you want some meat?
Yes, please.
- Anyone else want? - The answer is always Yes.
- My favorite food here. - There's a lot.
That's a lot.
Wait, you made this? - Yes.
Seriously.
What are you doing, Gavin?
Problem, as usual. - "Problem."
I brought a plate.
Yes.
I'm not as good as you.
Yes, I know them all.
Sort of...
Who made the cake? That's my favourite.
Mark!
Come on. Fast!
Bye, Grandpa. - Good night.
- Dad. - Good night.
Dah!/ Good night.
- Bye. - Bye, Grandpa.
- Dah. - Dah, dog.
Dah.
Masao.
You don't have to tell me.
I know.
You are sick.
I can feel it.
Let it come. It's part of you now.
It's not easy.
Let it come and blend with it.
- Let it in. - It's not easy.
Let it in, Masao. Let it in.
I am not ready.
Don't look at me like that.
You can see them coming, can't you?
How was your morning when you woke up, Masao?
Masao?
Father?
How do you feel when you wake up?
Father?
The nurse will print a new medication schedule.
There will be a slight stomach ache and bleeding,
Easy to forget and blurred vision.
Just be there for him,
And be patient.
His appetite will decrease.
But you have to make sure he eats.
How about a transplant?
At his age, it's not good.
Is that okay?
Are you feeling good?
He's fine, but he's acting unusual.
He won't tell me anything.
Henry, I think you should go back to see Dad.
I know.
When you can take time off work,
I think you should think about finding a plane ticket home.
You think I like being here with him?
Save it.
Are you stupid or what?
Let go of me!
Like throwing money away, huh?
"Aloha" can mean "farewell" and "meeting".
And Hawaii says goodbye ...
...to 40 years of frustration...
...as well as the failure in trying to win statehood,
And happy to welcome his new status ...
...as the 50th state of the Union's permanent members.
This is a fair opportunity for the islands.
Hula land, sugarcane, and pineapple,
With the population
Bringing the color of culture as a legacy and contribution.
Perhaps most importantly,
The state of Hawaii proves a lie...
...to the communist demands of American colonialism.
A very important day ...
For state status.
What are you going to do about your children?
They're in town.
They live with their aunt.
How is the result?
With their mother gone,
I think it's better for them, you know?
What, without your presence?
Yes, definitely better.
Yes.
Yes, I'm not a father.
That's right.
Yes.
I'm just gonna mess it up.
More opportunities.
This place is a new city.
What are you going to do now that Grace isn't here anymore?
I'll drink until I'm very old.
And finally, I will die.
I like it.
Tonight is a lunar eclipse.
Hey, wrong way.
This guy. bastard.
Idiot.
For God's sake, Masao. What the hell?
- Hold this. - What is this?
Where are we?
- Bastard. - My mother -in-law's house.
Father? Are you ready?
Yes.
That's right.
Aim it at the ball.
Almost. Okay, come on. Once again.
Hey! You're a professional!
Okay.
- This one? - Yes.
Take good care of him.
Try again.
Good.
Father?
Should I go back?
Yes.
Why?
It's now your home.
This is my house.
Not without your mother.
Show dad again.
Remember what you said to your brothers.
You went to the movies with Kay and her mom.
I know. I've said that many times.
Okay.
Good night. Good night, Dad.
Moki?
Moki.
Moki! Let's go.
Hey, you're going to be punished.
Halo?
Hi, Akiko.
Sorry to bother you.
This dog is behaving.
Nice dress, Kati.
Do you think so?
This used to be my mother's.
- Thank you. - You're welcome .
Long time no see.
Yes.
You should come back more often and visit your father.
We try our best.
I have a problem, Akiko.
Yes.
How should I take care of him,
While he's not taking care of us?
I understand.
Was there ever a moment,
When did you love him?
When I was little.
I idolize so much.
I remember the day my mother died.
There is a parade to celebrate Hawaii being a State.
But I'm in the hospital.
And I'm so mad that I missed it.
You didn't miss anything.
I know that now.
You know, I didn't think about that day,
Until now.
All these memories came back.
Masao.
Open your eyes.
You're just a man.
I can be me just fine without anyone, so...
Dying isn't easy, is it?
What?
Look at him.
What do you see?
I know you're not really here.
Dad, are you all right?
I'm glad you came here, Kati.
Thank you.
You don't have to stay here.
How was your morning, Mr. Matsuyoshi?
Are you feeling numb?
Do you feel like you're not here?
As if you didn't bring this body?
Grandpa?
Wake up.
How are you?
Are you hungry tonight?
Are you in pain? How much on a scale of 1 to 10?
100,000.
Henry?
No, I'm Gavin.
Gavin?
Yes.
Where's Henry?
Uncle Henry?
He lives on the main island, Grandpa.
That's right.
Okay I understand.
Dan Grace?
Grandmother?
Where did he go?
Grandma is long dead.
Mother, I don't know. This place just...
- I don't want to be here. - Why? What is it?
Mom, it's like he heard a voice or something.
Who knows. He keeps talking to people.
Mom needs your help, and he's your grandfather.
Ya. Ya, ya.
It won't be long. / I know.
I know, I know. Okay, I'll try.
Okay, bye. - All right.
Coffee.
It smells good.
And soup.
Masao? Change.
Beautiful, isn't it?
You practice Japanese.
Yes, every day.
Sounds almost perfect to me.
That's very strange.
Last night...
I dreamed about you.
You speak Japanese...
I can't understand you at all .
But I guess that's a good sign.
What is the dream about?
You're old.
You're dying and scared.
In my dream, no one speaks English.
There are Hawaiian, Mandarin, Japanese,
But no English.
No soldiers.
No plantations.
It's like Heaven.
But I'm dying.
You don't have to be afraid.
We are all with you in dreams.
Yes.
Are you okay
Okay.
Stand up first.
Okay.
Okay, let's go back.
Gavin?
What did the waiter say to the horse,
Who walks into the bar?
I do not know. What?
"Long face."
It is funny.
Gavin?
It is funny.
I don't feel old.
Don't get old, okay?
Old age is not for people like us.
You hear me?
I heard you, Grandpa.
OK good.
So, where are you from? You visit, or...
No, I live in the city.
Baiklah./ Yes .
I'm here for a few days.
What brought you here?
You're here to skateboard in the parking lot?
No...
My grandfather lives here.
Okay. OK.
She is sick.
- So I took care of him. - I'm sorry.
Its OK.
He must be so glad you guys came here.
Who knows.
We're not close.
It felt very strange to be there.
And...
I don't think he really likes me either, so...
What? Don't say that.
- That's okay. - That's probably not true.
It feels...
...it's awkward to look after him, you know?
- You lived in the city from birth? - Yes.
And you see him very rarely?
No, he stays here and does his own thing.
He never wanted to come to town.
But you guys can come here and meet him, you know?
- Yes, that's right. - Yes.
How about you? You lived here from birth?
Yes.
Yes, more or less my whole life.
Aren't you bored?
Not. I like it here.
I mean, I guess this is all I know.
I lived here since childhood.
Yes.
Time moves differently here.
Yes, this is good.
Let's give our children a strong name.
"Harimau"./ "Kuda".
No one names their child that strong anymore .
What is the Japanese word for "Tiger"?
"Tora".
How about Mandarin?
Foo.
What is the Japanese word for "Horse"?
One.
Sounds a little ridiculous.
What?
We have to part here.
My parents can't see me with you.
Sorry.
What do you say about Chinese girls?
The whole environment is talking.
How?
We're just friends, Dad.
Don't be stupid, Masao.
That is not important.
In the near future, we will return to Japan.
Why?
It is home.
This is home.
This is not a house.
You will understand.
When you grow up.
The longer we are here,
This is getting worse and worse.
Humans are so bad.
Violence.
And greed.
War is coming.
Bombs fall from the sky.
If you look back,
The 20th century is the fastest century.
This island has changed a lot.
You will age here.
And the countryside will age too.
The soil will be buried with concrete.
And you will die right here in this house.
Our family will take turns taking care of you when you are sick.
This is so we can be together.
My parents allow it.
Not.
You ran away from home,
And you never talk to them again.
Community alienates you.
I'll never see them again?
Just before the war,
They returned to Japan without you.
Finally.
There are gunshots falling from the sky,
Both your parents and brother will be killed.
They were buried in Kamakura.
Sorry.
At least we can be together.
Right.
But after your parents died, you became a different person.
Full of wrath and anger.
Our life is difficult.
This is where I start to die.
While you go drinking and gambling with your friends.
Don't bury me with my parents.
Bury me somewhere near.
I ask.
I promise.
This is where our children will sleep,
Until you send them away.
Why did I do that?
Scare.
This is where you will breathe your last.
Can you see it?
Can.
You will never name our child Tora,
Because you want them to have American names.
Henry. Mark. Kati.
Kati will outlive you.
Henry wants nothing to do with you.
Mark will carry the sound,
And the burden of our ancestors on his mind.
It's okay to be afraid.
Can you see?
There was a time when you could see.
When you're not afraid of love
Dying isn't simple, is it?
Are you feeling numb?
Do you feel as if your body is disappearing?
As if you didn't bring this body?
Am I done?
Not yet.
Still not yet.
When you let go of the ritual,
You can think of a miracle.
That's what always makes you so special.
You see what people don't see.
Never lose it.
Why would I want to do that?
Who knows.
You won't lose it.
I think it's over.
Finally.
Are you good?
Just tired.
And everything is in the wrong place.
Children.
They keep playing.
That's good to think about, isn't it?
I'm so glad we never left this place.
What will happen to that?
I do not know.
Are you disappointed with me?
I left you all.
But all of you are here for me now.
Dying isn't easy, is it?
That is easy.
Ya, Masao.
That is easy.
This is not the end.
Now we are all.
