Lauulu maikaʻi ʻole hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka mua ma Hulu ma ʻOkakopa 23, 2020. ʻO ka comedy weliweli hou mai Justin Simien lawe i nā mea nānā i kahi huakaʻi Easter i piha i ka holo ma waena o nā 80 mau makahiki e hoʻomau iā ʻoe ma ka lihi o kou noho.

I ka wā he kaikamahine ʻo Anna Bludso (Elle Lorraine), loaʻa iā ia kahi ʻike maikaʻi ʻole me kahi mea hoʻomaha hale i haʻalele i kona ʻili i puhi ʻia i ke ahi a mai ia manawa ua ʻaʻa maoli ʻo ia i kona lauoho. Ua makua a pau, hana ʻo Anna ma kahi kahua kīwī mele ʻōpuʻu a makemake ʻo ia i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o ka VJ ma ka lewa. ʻ tellslelo aku kāna haku hou (Vanessa Williams) iā ia ʻaʻole e hana ʻia ke ʻole e loli ʻo ia i kona helehelena, me ka hoʻomoe ʻana i kona lauoho e hoʻopiʻi i ka lehulehu.

ʻOiai makaʻu ʻo ia, hele ʻo ia i kahi salon posh kahi kahi stylist (Laverne Cox) hāʻawi iā ia i kahi ʻano hou. Minamina nona, he mea make kēlā ulana hou me ka noʻonoʻo ponoʻī a ke hoʻomaka wale nei kāna moeʻuhane.

ʻO kēia ka hele mua ʻana a Simien i ke aupuni o ka weliweli. ʻO kāna hana i hana mua ʻia me ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni lanakila E ke kanaka kiʻekiʻe a me ke kaʻina ukali e ka inoa like, a me kāna mau taleni a me kona leo e like me ka mea kākau a me ka luna hoʻomalu e hōʻike piha ʻia ma aneʻi.

No laila e uhaʻi i kēia.

Lauulu maikaʻi ʻole hana ma nā pae he nui.

ʻO ka mea mua, he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kino nui kou kahi e ulana maoli ai ka ulana wahine a hoʻomaka i ka pepehi kanaka ʻana i nā ala inventive a me nā ʻano hoihoi. Hoʻokele ʻo Simien e hana i kahi kaʻao e hiki ke hilinaʻi ʻia a puni kēia lauoho kūikawā, diabolical a hoʻokele e hoʻohanohano i kāna mau mea i ka hana ʻana i kāna mea āpau.

Eia kekahi, kākoʻo ʻo ia a me kāna poʻe limahana i ka mea a mākou e ʻike ai ma ka papakaumaka me kahi hoʻolālā kani e kolo ai kou ʻili.

ʻAʻole kēia he overstatement. Ke haʻi aku nei wau iā ʻoe i ka wā e noho ai ʻo Anna i lalo o kēlā noho a hele ʻo Virgie e hana ma luna ona, ua hoʻomaka koʻu poʻo e ʻeha a ʻike wau iaʻu iho i loko o koʻu noho. Hoʻohana ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kēia ʻano ʻano o nā soundcapes a puni e kākau i ka weliweli, e hoʻomanaʻo ana i ka poʻe hoʻolohe e hiki ke kani ke ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā kiʻi i ka hana ʻana i ka hōʻoluʻolu a me ka makaʻu.

A laila aia kahi pae o ka hala 80s nostalgia. Ke loli nei nā mea he nui i ka 1989. ʻO ke mele hou, ke ʻano hou, a me nā mea hou e like me ka hana ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā. ʻO ka hoʻomau ʻana me lākou he mea hiki ʻole akā ua hoʻāʻo nā mea āpau.

Hoʻokumu ʻo Simien i ke ola āpau i ka mālamalama, nā lole, a me nā mele, ke kīloi ʻana i nā hua manu Easter nostalgic – e hoʻolohe pono i nā mele mele āpau ma ke ʻano he kūkākūkā ma loko o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Inā ʻoe i ola i nā makahiki 80, e ʻike ʻoe ia mea āpau. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hele wale i kahi pā.

A laila aia ke kolu, a ʻoi paha ka pae ikaika loa. ʻO ka weliweli ma lalo o Lauulu maikaʻi ʻole hele mai ia mai ka ʻike maoli o ke kaiāulu ʻAmelika-ʻAmelika a me nā kūlana nani i koi ʻia ma luna o lākou no nā kenekulia.

No ke aha he mea pono e "hoʻoluhi" a uhi i ka lauoho maoli? No ke aha ʻaʻole e ʻike ʻia ka lauoho kūlohelohe no kona nani lua ʻole? No ke aha he mea nui i kou lauoho e nānā i kekahi ala – a e maoli mākou ma aneʻi, no ka mea e pili pono i nā keʻokeʻo, nā kūlana ʻEulopa – i mea e noʻonoʻo pono ai?

He mea nui kēia a pau a he mea nui ia i kā Simien moʻolelo, ʻoiai ke ʻano o nā mōlina hope loa o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma mua o nā hōʻaiʻē.

ma a pau o kēia, ʻo Simien mau mea hoʻokani koʻikoʻi loa ʻaʻole e haʻalele i kahi kuʻi. Ua like ʻo Lorraine's Anna me kahi ʻeha hāmama i kona hoʻokele ʻana i ka ʻāina hou kahi i loaʻa ai iā ia iho. ʻO ia ka mea i hōʻino ʻia e like me nā mea ʻē aʻe a puni ona, a hiki iā ʻoe ke manaʻo i kona hopohopo ke hele nā ​​mea mai ka lima.

A laila ʻo Vanessa Williams i kāna puʻuwai puʻuwai puʻuwai, ʻoihana āpau, lawe-ia-a-haʻalele-ʻoi loa. ʻAʻohe mea e hana i kēia ma mua o Williams. He ala ʻo ia e nānā ai i kahi kanaka ʻē aʻe ʻoiai e kaʻana like ana i kahi hiʻohiʻona e hana wale nei no kēia ʻano. Ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau nei ʻo ia i nā mea āpau a puni iā ​​ia e hōʻoia ʻo ia nō ke kuleana, a manaʻoʻiʻo iaʻu ke ʻōlelo wau kokoke mau ʻo ia.

ʻO ke koena o ka mea kākoʻo e like ka ikaika. Hāʻawi ʻo Lena Waithe i nā laina laina maikaʻi loa i ke kiʻi me ke alacrity maikaʻi ʻoiai ʻo Kelly Rowland's Janet Jackson-style style leaps mai ka pale a koi iā ʻoe e hulahula. ʻO Laverne Cox, i kēia manawa, nani maikaʻi loa e like me Virgie, ka stylist, a me James Van Der Beek i hoʻoiho i ka exec smarmy televise.

ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, aia he mau kumu he tausani e nānā Lauulu maikaʻi ʻole, a loaʻa iā ʻoe kou manawa ma ʻOkakopa 23, 2020 ma Hulu.
