ʻIke wau i kāu mea e noʻonoʻo nei ... "He wā kamaliʻi paha kā kēia kanaka?" E ʻohi ana wau i kahi mea makaʻu no kaʻu mau māwae mua ma Late i ka Pāʻina, akā, dammit, ua manaʻo wau i kahi kuleana e nānā hope loa iā Joe Dante's Gremlins ma kaʻu papa inoa.

Gremlins ʻo ia ke ʻano o ke ʻano kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o ka ʻīpuka weliweli e hoʻomanaʻo hoʻomanaʻo ai ʻoi aku ka nui o kā lākou hoʻolauna mua i kēia ʻano. Ke noʻonoʻo nei wau inā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke mahalo iā ia ma ke ʻano he mākua. A laila hou, ʻaʻole pono kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni maikaʻi i ka nostalgia e paʻa ai. Ua komo wau i loko o ka diski (E kala mai, ʻaʻohe VHS), a ua ʻike ʻia ka papa kuhikuhi kahua paʻa me kā Jerry Goldsmith's zany mele mele ʻano mele ma ke kua. Ua ʻike wau i loko no ka holo hihiu.

Gremlins wehe wehe ʻia e like me ke kiʻi ʻimi ʻimi neo-noir, piha me ka moʻolelo o ka leo mai kahi kanaka ʻaʻa Fedora me kahi moʻolelo kūʻiʻo ʻole e haʻi. ʻIke ka mea loea ʻo Randall Peltzer i kahi mea liʻiliʻi ʻano ʻē i kapa ʻia ʻo Mogwai i loko o ka hale kūʻai pohihihi hope loa, a kūʻai aku ia mea he makana ʻano Kalikimaka na kāna keiki ʻōpio ʻo Billy. Ua ao aku ʻo Randall iā Billy e hāhai i nā kānāwai maʻalahi ʻekolu: E mālama iā ia mai ka lā o ka lā, e mālama iā ia mai ka wai, mai hānai iā ia ma hope o ke aumoe. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke kali no ka haʻihaʻi ʻana o lākou ʻekolu.

Ke haʻohaʻo nei i ka nonchalant kupaianaha o ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa i lawe mai ka makuakāne i ka home i ʻike ʻole ʻia, he lālani lanakila Nobel, a hana like me he Pomeranian ia. Akā, hey, ke hoʻihoʻi nei ka poʻe i nā ʻano ʻano ʻē o nā mea ola āpau i nā makahiki 80. ʻAʻole lōʻihi ia ma mua o ka hele hewa ʻana o nā mea, a ke hoʻopilikia ʻia ke kūlanakauhale e nā haneli o nā gremlins ʻino. Inā wale nō i kāhea ka makuahine i nā luna i ka wā i ʻike ai ʻo ia i ka ʻohana kakini monster cocoons i loko o kāna keʻena liʻiliʻi, ma kahi o ka hoʻi ʻana i lalo a hoʻomoʻa i nā kuki Kalikimaka.

Hālāwai mākou me kekahi o nā kamaʻāina kolohe ʻole i ka hana mua o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā huapalapala i loaʻa nā uku poetic, e like me ka minamina, kahiko crone ʻo Mrs. Deagle, ka mea i loaʻa i kahi hilarious comeuppance (ʻoi aku ma kēlā hope). Eia nō naʻe, hoʻolei ʻia kekahi mau pana pua i ke ala. ʻO kā Billy ʻōpio, ka luna hoʻokano hoʻokano ʻo Gerald Hopkins e hoʻokūkū nei no ke aloha o Kate Billy's crush. Nalo ʻokoʻa ʻo Gerald ma waena o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, akā ʻaʻole ia he mea hōʻino nui i ka hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa. Mahalo pū ʻo Kate ʻaʻole i lilo i kaikamahine i ka pilikia. ʻOiai kekahi mau manawa kūpono e nalo ai, Gremlins hopohopo ʻole i ke kiʻi ʻana i lalo i nā subplots he nui ke kiʻi ka wikiwiki.

Hōʻike ʻia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e like me kahi kiʻi B-kiʻi i hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia e ka hoʻokō maikaʻi. Hoʻohana ʻia nā kiʻi pena matte no nā pana lewa o ke kaona liʻiliʻi, ʻoiai ka hapanui o nā hoʻonohonoho e like me nā backlots Hollywood kahiko. ʻO nā hopena kūpono he nui nā kikoʻī akamai e puhi i ka manaʻo o ka poʻe, a hiki i kēia lā.

Ua huki ka luina i nā kū a pau me nā cocoons liʻiliʻi, nā huluhulu pulsating, a, ʻo ia nō, nā animatronics kupaianaha. ʻOiai ma ke ʻano he mākua makua makua, ua ʻike wau he aloha maikaʻi ʻo Gizmo. Ke hele pū nei nā gremlins ma nā nooks a me nā crannies me nā kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me nā kukui ʻulaʻula a me ka noe e kaʻa ana. ʻO ke ʻano make weliweli o Stripe e like me ka hiʻohiʻona hope loa i ʻO ka makeʻino (1981) i ke ala kūpono maikaʻi loa. Hoʻopili kēia mau mea liʻiliʻi āpau i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me ka nani kupaianaha.

ʻO ka pae o ka huhū i Gremlins hanohano. Manaʻo kekahi e ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma muli o ka palena o ka moʻohelu kālā, akā ua hele lākou i waho. Hōʻike nā gremlins i ka waimaka ma waena o ke kaona kiʻi hōʻikeʻike i ko lākou pilikino kolohe, a me ka hanana o ka poʻe kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻAʻole wale lākou e luku nei i ke kūlanakauhale, leʻaleʻa lākou i ka hana ʻana.

Hāʻawi ʻo Dante iā mākou e lawe i ʻelua mau manawa e pulu i ka haunaele ke hana nei nā gremlins i kahi pā kūloko a me nā hale keaka. ʻO nā kāmela pahupaʻikiʻi e hōʻike iā lākou e lele ana mai nā peʻa o ke kaupaku, nā kāleka pāʻani, nā mea inu slamming, a me nā ʻano shenanigan ʻē aʻe āpau. ʻO kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa ke hōʻike ʻia ma ka puka o Mrs. Deagle i kāhiko ʻia me nā kapa kalena, a hoʻolana i ka crotchety, ʻōpeʻapeʻa kahiko ma waho o kāna puka aniani ʻelua ma o ka noho alapiʻi. E ʻolokaʻa ana wau me ka ʻakaʻaka.

Gremlins He hui maikaʻi loa ia o ka 80 mau māmā o ka puʻuwai māmā, me kahi dash slore gore. ʻO kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ke lilo i kahi pōpilikia cheesy inā hana maikaʻi ʻole ʻia. Ua lilo ia i mea maʻamau me kekahi mea no nā mea āpau. Hoʻāʻo pinepine ka poʻe hoʻolohe hou i kēia manawa e hoʻoholo inā makemake kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Halloween (1978) ke weliweli mau nei i nā ana o kēia lā. Gremlins, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia e weliweli. He huakaʻi leʻaleʻa ia, me nā hopena maikaʻi loa. I kēlā pili, paʻa loa ia.
