I kekahi mau manawa o ka mahina, makemake wau e lawe i kahi pōpilikia "kiʻiʻoniʻoni nerd", a kūʻai i kahi hoʻokuʻu DVD kiʻi indie, me ka ʻole o ka nānā pono ʻana ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana. I kekahi mau pule i hala aku nei, ua lawe hou wau i ke komo hou, a kūʻai mai i ka 'Proxy', kahi kiʻi Zack Parker i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e IFC Midnight, Ma nā ala, a me nā hana FSC.

Hōʻike ʻo 'Proxy' i kahi moʻolelo e pili ana i kahi wahine hapai ʻo Esther Woodhouse (Alexia Rasmussen), ʻoiai ʻo ia e hele ana i ka home mai kāna kau kauka hope loa, ua hoʻomāinoino ʻia a hōʻino ʻia i ke ala ala e kahi mea hoʻoweliweli. Ua hoʻohuli ʻia ʻo Esther e kahi limahana kaiaulu e hele i kahi hui kākoʻo no nā mākua kaumaha.

Ma ka hui kākoʻo, hui ʻo ia me Melanie Michaels (Alexa Havins), nāna i ʻōlelo ua make kāna keiki kāne a me kāna kāne (Joe Swanberg) e kahi kalaiwa ʻona. He pilina paʻa ʻo Esther lāua ʻo Melanie, akā maopopo koke ke waiho nei nā mea ʻeleʻele ʻelua ma mua o kā lāua i waiho mua ai.

Ke ʻike ʻo ʻEsetera i kahi huna ʻeleʻele e pili ana iā Melanie, hana ʻia kekahi hana kolohe hou aʻe, a ʻike lākou he mea hiki ʻole ke hoʻōla, a he mea ʻole paha.

ʻIke ʻia ʻo 'Proxy' no ka hoʻomaka mua ʻana o ke kaʻina. Ua hōʻike ka poʻe loiloi ma ka International Festival Festival ʻo Toronto i ka ʻoluʻolu ʻole e ka hanana hoʻouka kaua, a ʻaʻole lākou wale nō. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona e hōʻike nei i ka make ʻana o ke keiki hānau ʻole o ʻEsetera, a inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hala i kēlā ʻano, e pūʻiwa loa ʻoe me kēia ʻāpana IFC.

Hana ʻo 'Proxy' i nā mea he nui i kūpono. ʻO ka mea mua i ʻike ʻia e ka mea nānā, ʻo ia ka hāmau ʻaʻano hōʻoluʻolu ʻole e hōʻike ʻia ka hapanui o nā hanana. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hiʻohiʻona, ʻoi loa nā hiʻohiʻona hana, ʻaʻohe o lākou kamaʻilio. Ma kahi o ka mea, ua hoʻokalakupua ʻia e nā mele creepy, kokoke i ka hale pule nui, e like me he pahu kīloi lā i nā helu a Alfred Hitchcock a Bernard Hermann. Hana ke mele i nā mea kupanaha no ka pīhoihoi a me ke demented o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

ʻO ke kamaʻilio maʻalahi a me ke kani leo paʻakikī ʻaʻole ia wale nō ka mea pono ʻo Proxy. Hoʻokumu ʻo Alexia Rasmussen iā Eset maikaʻi loa. He mousy ʻo ʻEsetera, noho mālie, maʻalahi, a ʻike iki ʻia kona alo. Ma loko o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni holoʻokoʻa, hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi iā ʻEsetera ʻaʻole ʻo "a pau ma laila". ʻAno ʻole ʻoe i mua o kona alo, me he mea lā hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi ʻaʻole kūpaʻa ʻo ia. ʻO Melanie Michaels, paani ʻia e Alexa Havins, ʻo ia ka polar i kū pono iā ʻEsetera. Hele aku ʻo ia i waho, haʻi waha, mālama mālama hakahaka, a he alo nui kona. Eia nō naʻe, e like me ʻEsetera, hōʻike ʻia kāna mau moʻolelo a me kona ola pilikino i kahi leo haʻahaʻa ʻole. He hanana kupaianaha ko 'Proxy', me kēlā me kēia mea pāʻani e hoʻokani nei i kā lākou ʻāpana i ka maikaʻi. ʻO nā manaʻo subconscious a ka mea nānā ke manaʻo nei he hopena pololei ia o nā mea hana keaka.

ʻO ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he gory, unnerving, a me he mea ʻole he noʻonoʻo pono, e like me nā ʻano. Me he mea lā e kauō ana nā hiʻohiʻona, me ka manaʻo e kūkulu i kahi kūlana noʻonoʻo paʻa ʻole. Hana nui ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i ke kūkulu ʻana i kāu mau mea i manaʻo ai, a me ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻana iā lākou me kahi wili pupule. Ua ʻike wau iaʻu iho e noʻonoʻo nei ʻo 'Proxy' me he mea lā he kiola ia i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o Hitchcock, Kubrick, a ʻo Lars von Trier hoʻi.

ʻO ka hapa mua o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ke ʻano he piko i loko o nā ola o nā wahine huhū. Eia nō naʻe, ma hope o ka wili o ka hoʻolālā mua, hana ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kahi wikiwiki ʻokoʻa. ʻIke wau i ka hapa lua o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e kauō, a ʻaneʻane hānau, ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka hapa mua. ʻOiai ʻike maopopo ʻoe i ke ola o nā mea nui, ʻo ka hapa lua o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e liʻiliʻi e kamaʻilio e pili ana. Aia nō kahi pae o ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻole, a me ka kānalua, akā ma kahi pae haʻahaʻa loa.

I ka hopena o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, hoʻopuka nā ʻōkuhi i hoʻokahi haʻalulu hope loa. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻi i ka mea maoli a me ka mea ʻole, a hiki i ke kahua hope loa. E paipai nui wau iā 'Proxy' i nā mea aloha weliweli e makemake i nā thrillers akamai. Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi wili psychological i kāu leʻaleʻa, 'Proxy' nāu.

E waiho wau iā ʻoe, e ka mea heluhelu, me ka lālani nāna i haʻohaʻo iaʻu no ke koena o ka pō ma hope o ka nānā ʻana iā 'Proxy'…. ”He mea hou kā mākou."
