Mea hana keaka Alexandra Essoe (Nā Maka Makaʻala) hoʻoneʻe iā ia i kahi mea kākau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me Zach Gayne's directorial debut, ʻEwlelo Homewrecker. He ola a hoʻokipa hoʻi ia i ka weliweli weliweli o Kanada e ʻapo i kona aʻa hohonu i ka mahele o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. 

ʻEwlelo Homewrecker ukali iā Michelle (Essoe), kahi hoʻolālā ʻōpio ʻōpio nāna i kiʻi i kahi pilina ʻino a ʻona loa me ka eclectic a me ka hauʻoli ʻo Linda (Precious Chong). Ma hope o ka hana iki ʻana a lāua ʻelua ma kā lāua hale hoʻoikaika kino, ua loaʻa ʻo Linda iā Michelle i loko o kahi hale kope kūloko a ua paʻa kona manaʻo e lilo i mau hoaaloha wikiwiki. Ua wikiwiki ʻo ko Linda hoihoi i loko o ka pulakaumaka ʻoiai e hoʻāʻo ana ʻo Michelle e ʻike i kahi kumu kala e haʻalele ai. Huli ka makaʻu ʻole o Michelle i ka weliweli i ka manawa e hoʻonui ai ʻo Linda i ka mea pupule, e hei ana iā Michelle i kona home no kahi wili tête-à-tête.

ʻEwlelo Homewrecker ʻimi i ko mākou kūpaʻa kūlohelohe a me ke ahonui, e nīnau ana i ka manawa hea mākou e hoʻolohe ai i kēlā mau bele aʻoaʻo a ʻike i kēlā mau lepa ʻulaʻula. I ka manawa hea mākou e ʻōlelo ai "fuck politeness" a kiʻi i ka pō mai laila mai? ʻAʻole ia he pane maʻalahi (ʻo ia hoʻi ma ke kaiāulu Kanada; ʻo ke ʻano polite ko mākou kūlohelohe).

ʻAʻole maopopo iā Michelle i ka wā e ʻōlelo ai ʻaʻole, ka mea nāna i hoʻonāukiuki iā Linda i kāna kaʻa kaʻa pilikino. Wehe ʻo ia iā ia iho ma ke kaʻana like ʻana i nā kikoʻī pili i kumu e emi ai ʻo Michelle i kona wā e hoʻoweliweli ʻia e kēia paʻa o ka positivity. Maʻalahi ke ʻike i ka pilikia o Michelle - Ke hāʻawi nei ʻo Linda a puu, wikiwiki loa - a ʻaʻole ia he mea e empathize ai me ia i kēia kūlana kūpilikiʻi. 

Aia kahi "pū a Chekhov" pū ma ke alakaʻi ʻana o Linda iā Michelle ma loko o kona home, ka mea e mahalo ai ka mea nānā pono. ʻ stateslelo kēia kumumanaʻo pīhoihoi inā - i ka hana mua - he pū kīkaha kāu ma ka paia, pono e kī ʻia i kēia hana aʻe. ʻO kahi sledgehammer i kau ʻia i ka paia e hōʻike ana i ka ulu a me ka holomua o Linda a hiki i kēia manawa (e noʻonoʻo ana i ke ʻano o kona ʻano ma mua o nā hola o ka lāʻau a me nā breakthrough pilikino). He mea ia i hoʻomākeʻaka loa ʻia ma waho o kahi aʻaʻohe ala e hoʻi ʻole ai e lawelawe i kekahi kumu kolohe. 

No kāna mau hoʻoikaika ikaika ʻana, ʻEwlelo Homewrecker ʻōkuhi ma o ka ālai paʻa ʻana a me ke kuhikuhi kūiki. ʻO ke script ka mea kū ma aneʻi, a hana nui ia i ka hāpai hāpai kaumaha. Loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻano hoʻopono a me ka hoʻomākeʻaka quippy e aloha maoli ana. 

Hāʻule maoli ʻo Essoe i ke kuleana o Michelle; ʻoluʻolu e empathize me ke ʻano ke keʻe pū ʻoe me nā ala mua ʻole o kāna huakaʻi. Ke hōʻoiaʻiʻo nei ʻo Chong i kāna kuleana, ke hilinaʻi nei i ka nui o ka ikaika o ka ikaika o Linda. Hoʻokuke ʻo ia iā ia iho i ke kaʻe a nalowale ma laila, e lele weliweli ana ma waena o ka maniac quirky a me ka blown piha. 

He holoholona hihiu ka holo ʻana, me kahi mele mele ʻekolu o ke mele impromptu he mea lapuwale loa ia he ʻano hana. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui ʻia ka hana, ʻoiai - ʻoi aku ka palekana - ʻaʻole hana i kahi tone o ke aloha no ka realism. 

ʻ saidlelo ia, hōʻoluʻolu ke ʻike i kahi mea pīhoihoi e nānā kokoke i nā wahine ʻelua a me kā lāua pili. Kaulana ia ʻEwlelo Homewrecker nānā 'ia iā Linda, kahi' ano i hala wale aku i kona mau makahiki buxom ingenue makahiki, akā nona ka mana opio e mālama a hoʻonui 'ia ma ke ala e paʻa pinepineʻia e nā papa Pinterest a me nā kiʻi paʻi cheeky. ʻO nā mākēnika Fridge e heluhelu nei i nā wahine "hana maikaʻi maikaʻi pinepine i ka mōʻaukala" a inu i nā mauʻu i kāhiko ʻia me ka "Liquid therapy" ʻōpala i kona home, pena iā ia i ke kukui hala ʻole a "leʻaleʻa" kuhi hewa ʻo coy.

Hana ʻia ma kahi moʻohelu kālā haʻahaʻa, ʻEwlelo Homewrecker kū hoʻokahi ʻo Kanada. E ʻike paha ka poʻe Torontonians i kekahi o nā wahi paʻi kiʻi, akā, ʻoi aku ma mua o kēlā, ʻo ka pūlima hanohano Kanada ka mea nāna e hoʻokau i ka wā o kā Michelle ʻino. Nui nā manawa kūpono e haʻalele ai ʻo ia (a ʻaʻole hoʻi e komo i ka mua), akā ʻo ia - e like me ka hoalauna o Linda - nānā ʻole i nā hae ʻulaʻula e wīwī nei i mua ona e makemake e pāʻani pū me ka ʻōlelo ʻole. He moʻolelo akahele i ka hana pū ʻana me nā malihini.

ʻOiai nele i ka polish o kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻEwlelo Homewrecker He moʻolelo leʻaleʻa a wikiwiki (ke uaki nei ia ma lalo o 75 mau minuke), maʻalahi ka ʻai e like me ka meaʻai ahiahi. ʻO ka cinematography, kuhikuhi, a me nā hana ke makemake wale ʻia mai kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni indie, akā aia kekahi mea nani e pili ana iā ia. Inā ʻoe e ʻimi ana e hoʻonui i kāu pōʻai kaiapuni cinematic ma ʻō aku o nā studio studio a me nā inoa indie kaulana, hāʻawi i kahi manawa, loaʻa paha iā ʻoe kahi hoa hou. 

 

ʻEwlelo Homewrecker ke pāʻani nei ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ʻO ka lālani 2019 o Fantasia Festival. No nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni hou aku, e nānā i kā lākou pūnaewele a e nānā pono paha hōʻike mākou.
