Ma mua o Jason, ma mua o Freddy, ma mua o Mikaʻela, aia iā Billy kā mākou.

I ka makahiki 1974, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Bob Clark i kahi ʻāpana pouli o ka weliweli e komo mālie ana i loko o ko mākou mau home i ke aumoe a lawe mai i ka make ma kahi o nā makana. Ke hoʻohuihui nei i kā Clark's trademark humor humor (e hoʻomau ke kāne i ke kuhikuhi He Mele Kalikimaka, ma hope o nā mea āpau) a me kahi hui o ka weliweli psychological me ka moʻolelo kaona, Mele Kalikimaka Mele ʻO ia kahi ʻāpana pinepine o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli e nānā pinepine ʻole ʻia. No laila no ke aha e hoʻomanaʻo mau ʻole ai e like me kēlā?

E kūkākūkā i kēia, pono mākou e kamaʻilio e pili ana i nā hanana i kū i loko o ka lōʻihi o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. No laila inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e kiaʻi iā ia, e hele e ʻike a laila hoʻi i ka ʻatikala. ʻO ka weliweli Kalikimaka ia ma kāna mea maikaʻi loa.

Inā makemake ʻoe i kahi mea hōʻoluʻolu, ʻo ka moʻolelo moʻolelo kumu kēia: hoʻomaka kahi psychopath lapuwale i kapa ʻia ʻo Billy e hana i nā kelepona kolohe i kahi hale ʻeha. Ma hope o ka nalowale ʻana o kekahi o nā kaikuahine, aia kahi ʻimi no ka ʻike o Billy. Ua pepehi ʻia kekahi kaikamahine ʻōpio i ke kaona, a no ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i nā mea, hāpai ka mea nāna ka protagonist Jess (Olivia Hussey) a makemake i kahi ʻōpū. ʻO kāna hoa kāne, ʻo Peter (Keir Dullea) ʻaʻole. Kuhi nā ʻōuli āpau iā Petero, a me he mea lā maopopo leʻa ʻo Peter ʻo Billy maoli ia.

Akā eia ka mea: ʻaʻole ʻo ia. ʻO Billy lāua ʻo Peter he mau kānaka kaʻawale ʻelua, a ʻo Mr. Clark ke hana hewa nei iā māua i nā manawa āpau. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike i nā mea hou aʻe o Billy ma mua o kāna silhouette a me kona maka ʻākau. Mele Kalikimaka Mele hoʻomākeʻaka iā mākou ma o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka manaʻo o ka mea pepehi. Hiki iā mākou ke ʻike ma o kona mau maka, akā ʻaʻole mākou e ʻike i kona ʻano, a no ke aha ʻo ia e hana nei i kēia.

Aia i laila ka nui o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. I ka hopena, ʻaʻohe mea i hoʻonā ʻia. Waiho mākou ʻaʻohe māʻona. No ke aha ʻo Billy i pepehi ai i kēia mau kaikamahine? A ʻaʻole ʻo ia i haʻalele i ka hale, no laila ʻo wai ka mea nāna i pepehi i ke kaikamahine ʻōpio i ke kaona? He aha ka mea i hoʻopalai maka loa ai ʻo Billy?

ʻO ka lawe maʻalahi aʻu i haʻalele mau ai i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻeleʻele a keʻokeʻo ke ola. ʻO kekahi mau mea a mākou e ʻike ʻole ai. I kekahi manawa, hiki i nā mea weliweli i ka poʻe maikaʻi me ke kumu ʻole, e hoʻonui ana i nā mea ʻino. ʻO ia kekahi o nā manaʻo makaʻu loa i hiki iaʻu ke noʻonoʻo, a pīhoihoi ia a hiki i kēia lā.

Eia naʻe, eia nō naʻe, he hapa nui o mākou i mālama ʻia me ka wehewehe ʻana a me ka hōʻike lolo ʻole i loko o nā makahiki. Ua luku ʻia mākou i ka palaho me ka backstory he nui a me ka nui o ka hoʻonā. I ka ʻike ʻana i nā mea āpau, ua māʻona mākou ka mea nānā, ʻoiai ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua pepehi kanaka hoʻomake ʻia kā mākou mea aloha i mua o kā mākou maka. No laila make paha nā mea āpau, akā hey, ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻike mākou i ke kumu.

Hiki iā ia ke hōʻino i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, pū kekahi. ʻOiai ʻo Alexandre Aja's Nā māʻina kiʻekiʻe ua ʻike nui ʻia mai ka wā i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ai ma muli o nā hōʻike i ka wili o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ua manaʻo wau he ala nui ia. Ke hiki mai ka hōʻike, ua hala nā mea pohihihi a pau o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻAʻohe mea i koe e haʻohaʻo ai no ka mea ua wehewehe mākou i nā mea āpau iā mākou i kahi hana e hauʻoli ai ka mea ʻike. He manaʻo maikaʻi ke hiki iā mākou ke noho i hope a ʻōlelo, “ʻ Oh, ʻē i ka he aha ke ʻano o kēia! " Akā i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli, ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo pinepine ʻo ia ke ala ʻoi loa. Mele Kalikimaka Mele maopopo i kēia.

ʻO nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli he nui e pili ana i ke Kalikimaka e hoʻopaʻa i ka mea pepehi kanaka me kekahi ʻano kumuhana lā nui. Po Silent, Po Make Loa, ʻO Krampus, kahi moʻolelo weliweli Kalikimaka hana āpau, a maikaʻi lākou no ke ʻano o lākou. Mele Kalikimaka Mele hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka wā hoʻomaha a ʻo ia wale nō. ʻAʻohe mea pepehi kanaka Santas a Yuletide daimonio paha. ʻOi aku ia mea ʻoi loa ke kaumaha ke hōʻike ʻia kēia mau hanana i kahi wā hauʻoli nui.

Mele Kalikimaka Mele Aia e pena i ke kiʻi o ka mea pohihihi, weliweli, a me ke kaumaha a me ke kiʻekiʻe ma laila. ʻO ia paha ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni nui loa loa o Holiday i nā manawa āpau, a inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e piliwi iaʻu, malia paha pono ʻoe i kahi wati ʻelua. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻae, maikaʻi ia, akā aia hoʻokahi mea aʻu e haʻalele ʻole ai no ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa, a ʻo ia ka mea i paʻa i ka inoa no ka tagline ʻoi loa o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli loa.

"Inā ʻaʻole kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e kolo i kou ʻili ... paʻa loa ia!"
