'ahi | yellowfin tuna

The ʻahi is a symbol of abundance. Their presence reflects the generosity of the ocean, often watched over by the akua (god) of fishing.

he'e | octopus

For many ʻohana (families), the heʻe is also recognized as an ʻaumakua, an ancestral guardian that offers protection and guidance.

mōlī | Laysan albatross

The Hawaiian mōlī (Laysan albatross) is seen as a messenger, carrying ʻike (knowledge) across great distances.

In Hawaiian culture, many ocean animals are revered as aumakua, ancestral guardians that protect the ‘ohana (family). Their presence is deeply embedded in moʻolelo (stories) and often symbolizes virtues like strength, endurance, and resilience. This profound appreciation represents a spiritual interconnectedness and respect between humans and the sea.

Look at how it immediately establishes the rules of the movie's setting.

This is Jim Crow Mississippi where Black and White residents essentially live in different worlds. The continuous take forces us (the audience) to experience that segregation in real time as we walk behind Lisa crossing the street. There are no cuts or edits to interrupt the discomfort of having to witness all those visual reminders of racism against Black Americans.
