Look -> Every Nation portrays and want their own Intelligence Organization to be Patriotic. And this is also absolutely understandable that, after the SNOWDEN’s Saga, and what CIA back then said about Snowden that he did damage & slandered the reputation of Intelligence; then, thus, it seems, vide Media, some damage control is being done in the recent days.
You watch Ghosted, Fubar, The Amateur, Black Bag etc. or recently, Lilo & Stitch! As it has been told at the end that one can trust Intelligence and they would keep the Secret! In Ghosted also, a beautiful agent would always protect Her Love! In Fubar also, how the Intelligence Agency’s employees also struggle to pay Hospital Bills, and living no different life; Or, maybe just alike how B’Wood portrays R&AW in Indian movies, or, how in the Israeli series Fauda/Tehran, the Intelligence or Mossad Guys counter Terrorists’ (within or cross-border) whilst living a Normal life; thus, H’Wood also kind of rekindling Intelligence vide their movies and series! Now, likes of SNOWDEN would definitely ask, why? But again, you can’t question because it’s a movie industry originating from ‘A Nation,’ and NOT from ‘United Nations’!
And further, if you read my previous blogs, I only questioned back then the role of ‘FVEY’ in unison for protecting K-Terrorism for their Own Benefit by using breeding grounds of Canada; but ne’er questioned any individual intelligence agency. Ne’er! Because again, that’s their nation, irrespective of ethical conduct or not!
Now, coming back to the Review of Lilo & Stitch, as in this also, it has been shown that and as what I’ve explained in the above section.
Furthermore, in the name of Aloha or Ohana, or as what Vin Diesel keep saying, Family; the local family welfare authority representative viz. Kekoa asked Nani, who herself is young, to Pay all her bills to keep the custody of Lilo, and further Tutu, instead of offering to take care of Lilo in the beginning only; waited the whole Alien Saga to happen, to offer in the end to Nani that now, in the name of OHANA, we’ll take care of Lilo! C’mon!
Knowing for the fact that any single young Girl like Nani who has the responsibility of Her young Sister Lilo, would be Exploited by people surrounding them, from Suga Daddies, to, New/Old Money Men, to, Political Leaderships! Correct? Correct? Means, I hope the Writers wanted to send some message to the kids about Ohana! YET, there were gaps in the same!
Thus, if the foundation of a movie is Action; there should be action, like in John Wick! Similarly, if the foundation of any flick is OHANA, then there should’ve been OHANA explained! Else, the script loses the base!
But again, all said and done, it was indeed a decent watch on a weekend, despite its foundational flaws!
