Kākau ʻia na Patti Pauley

I ka makahiki hanohano o 1976. ua mālama ʻia nā cinephiles o ke ʻano weliweli i kahi ʻano o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e waiho mau ana i nā mea ʻaʻa weliweli a hiki i kēia lā. Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana iā ʻoe iho, huhū loa ia i ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua huli kekahi o kēia mau mele 40 i kēia makahiki. A i ʻole ʻo ia ka ʻelemakule geezer i loko oʻu e ʻōlelo nei ʻoiai ke leʻaleʻa nei wau i kaʻu ʻeke o nā mea ʻono peanut sirkus ʻalani. ʻAe, ʻo ia nō paha.

I nā mea āpau, nā makamae Horror e hoʻolauleʻa nei i ko lākou lā hānau 40th ma 2016 ʻO Carrie, ʻo ʻOmena, ʻo Alice, ʻo Alice ʻ Sweetlisa, a ʻaʻole hiki i kekahi ke hoʻopoina i ka hoʻi ʻana o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni monster nunui- ka mea nui King Kong. ʻO ka hana hou ʻana mai ka moʻolelo kahiko o 1933 o Nani, a me ka holoholona hihiu alakaʻi ʻia e John Guillermin me Dino De Laurentiis ma ke ʻano he Producer, hoʻomau i koʻu aloha no ka moʻomeheu kiʻi ʻoniʻoni monster me he keiki liʻiliʻi lā; Hoʻomanaʻo maoli wau i ka ʻike ʻana i kēia mana ma mua o ke kumu. A hoʻomanaʻo pū wau i ka makaʻu i ka shit ola mai iaʻu. ʻOiai ke ʻano like o ke kumu o ka moʻolelo, me nā ʻokoʻa iki ma aneʻi a ma ʻaneʻi e hiki ai i nā poʻe o kēia ao, ua ʻike ʻia kekahi mea ʻokoʻa. A ʻo kaʻu mau hoaaloha, he mea weliweli maoli kēlā ʻo King Kong i nā kaʻina kahi e pono ai ʻo ia. ʻO wai ka mea e hana i kēia mana cinematic, kaʻu punahele punahele o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Kong āpau. Me he mea lā ʻaʻole ia he mana i loaʻa ʻole ke aloha āpau, no laila e kamaʻilio e pili ana i kēia kiʻi nani.

Hoʻomaka ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma Surabaya me Fred Wilson, ka mea hoʻokele pīhoihoi pīhoihoi o ka Petrox Oil Company i hoʻokani maikaʻi ʻia e Charles Grodin, kahi i kū pono i ka huakaʻi i kahi mokupuni uncharted no ka ʻimi ʻana i ka ʻaila ʻaʻole i loaʻa i ke Kai India. Ma ke kaʻe o ka holo ʻana no kahi huakaʻi ʻike ʻole ʻia, ua hōʻike ʻia e Jeff Bridges a me kahi ʻumiʻumi nā lumberjack kekahi mea lumberjack, e lele i luna o ka moku i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka hoihoi a me ka hopohopo o ka hippie ʻepekema.

Ma ke ala e pili ana i ka mea pohihihi ʻike ʻole ʻia, ʻike ʻo Prescott i kahi peʻa e hāpai ana i kahi nani kupaianaha ʻole- a komo i ka mea kupaianaha ʻo Jessica Lange i kāna hōʻike mua nui. Hōʻike ʻo Lange iā Dwan (ʻaʻole, ua heluhelu ʻoe i kēlā ʻākau) kahi wahine ʻoniʻoni a me ka mea ola hoʻokahi o kahi pahū ma kahi moku peʻa kahi e hana ai ʻo ia i kāna kiʻi ʻoniʻoni mua. ʻO Dwan, ʻo ia nō ka nani o ka holoholona o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a maopopo he hoihoi kona no Jack. Naʻu, ʻo Bridges a me Lange e hoʻomālamalama i nā ahi ahi ma ka pākuhi, a ʻo ke kemika wale nō ke kūlohelohe. I mea e akāka ai, ke ʻōlelo pololei nei wau i nā kūkaʻi ma waena o ka lua ma luna o ka moku ma mua o ka paʻa ʻana o Dwan. I kēia manawa pono wau e kamaʻilio, ua lohe wau i ka poʻe e pili ana iā Lange i kēia kuleana ma ke ʻano he mea ʻole ma mua o ke alakaʻi me nā mākau hoʻowalewale papa. Eia nō naʻe kona ʻano, nā manaʻo, a me ka hopena i ka hopena o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hoʻokūpaʻa i ke akamai o ke kaikamahine ʻoiaʻiʻo. ʻoiai inā me ka manaʻo manipulative a e wehewehe hou i lalo i ka laina manawa ma aneʻi.

ʻO ka neʻe wikiwiki i kahi a Dwan i kāʻili ʻia ai, lāʻau ʻia, a hāʻawi ʻia i ka mōʻī nui Kong. I ko Kong puka ʻana i waena o nā kumulāʻau e ʻohiʻohi i kāna makana, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kōkua akā ʻūʻū ke ʻike ʻoe i kāu nānā mua loa iā ia. Ae maopopo iaʻu. He kāne wale nō ia i loko o ka lole ʻāpī. Eia nō naʻe, ke hoʻomanaʻo nei i ke ʻano kūpono o ke kilokilo kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o 70, nani ia. Aloha wale wau i ka laulā o nā manaʻo mai kēlā mug animatronic Kong. A weliweli maoli kekahi. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka makaʻu makaʻu ʻole o kēia Kong i kona wā huhū ma ke ʻano kamaliʻi. ʻAʻole like loa me ka mana 1933, ʻaʻole like kēia Kong me ka bumbling. Ua ʻoi aku kona akamai, huhū iki, a loaʻa i kahi chompers scarier.

No laila, ʻo kekahi o nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa ma ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma waena o Kong a me Dwan i ka ululāʻau. ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona kahi a Dwan i kuʻi aku ai iā Kong ma ka waha e walaʻau ana iā ia e ʻai iā ia a ʻāʻā iā ia he mea maʻamau. Hāʻawi ʻo Kong iā ia i kēlā ʻano like, "Ummm… E kala mai iaʻu?"  A laila huli koke ʻo Dwan i kēlā leʻaleʻa, e wehewehe ana he Libra a ʻano haʻahaʻa ʻo ia. Pākuʻi iaʻu i kēlā me kēia manawa. Ke hoʻomau mau nei nō kekahi o nā manawa. E ʻauʻau ana ʻo Kong iā Lange i ka wailele, a laila e hoʻohana ana i kona mana mana e hoʻomaloʻo iā ia.

Nani.

I kēia manawa, e ʻimi ana ʻo Wilson, Prescott, a me nā luina i ka mokupuni. Ke ʻimi nei ʻo Prescott iā Dwan, a me ka pōkā poepoe ʻo Wilson i kahi hoʻolālā e hopu i ka 'mea kupaianaha ʻewalu o ka honua' i ka ʻike ʻana i ke ola o ka mōneka nunui. ʻOiaʻiʻo ua hoʻopakele ʻia ʻo Dwan e Jack lāua ʻo Kong, i hōʻeha ʻia e kēia kūlana, alualu ma hope o ka paʻa pono ʻana o ka lua i ka pahele a Wilson. ʻO nā maka o Grodin e ʻālohilohi ana me ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka pōmaikaʻi hiki iā ia ke hana me kēia ʻike ʻana, ua holo aku lākou i New York City me Kong i ka huki.

I kēia manawa, e hoʻomanaʻo i ka mea aʻu i ʻōlelo ai e pili ana iā Dwan ma ke ʻano he gal manipulative? ʻAʻole makemake ka wahine wahine wannabe i kekahi mea i kēia ao ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i hōkū kiʻi ʻoniʻoni maikaʻi, no laila kūʻai aku ʻo ia iā Kong iā ia me ka ʻae ʻana e hoʻohana iā Kong no ka kaulana a me ka waiwai. ʻIke ʻo ia i kona ʻike ma ʻO Skull Island ʻo kāna likiki ia i ka hōkū, a ʻoiai ma ka moku e hoʻi i ʻAmelika, haʻaheo ʻo Dwan i ka holoholona i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i loko o nā ʻumeke o ka moku nāna i pale iā ia i loko o ka ululāʻau, ʻoiai ʻo kāna huhū huhū, ʻo ia "E lilo i hōkū!" 

ʻĀ, maopopo iā mākou āpau pehea e holo ai i kēia manawa ʻaʻole mākou. ʻO Prescott, hoʻopau ʻia e nā manaʻo ʻelua o Wilson a me ka makemake o Dwan e hele pū me kēia “ʻakaʻaka ʻakaʻaka"Iā ia e kau nei, ke nānā nei me ka makaʻu ʻole e like me ka hōʻike nui ʻana o Kong ma New York i lilo i kahi hōʻike shit-show. Kipaku ʻia ʻo Dwan e ka poʻe nūpepa i mua o ka ape i huhū ʻia, hoʻonāukiuki ʻo Kong e haki mai kāna mau kaulahao a me nā pā i hopena i ka haunaele. a me ka make make ʻole ʻana o Wilson e kahi stomp o Kong.

Pono e aloha i kēlā lopaki King weliweli!

Kong, e kiʻi hou nei i kāna makana i huli i ka World Trade Center no kahi hōʻoluʻolu. Akā, maopopo iā mākou āpau ka hopena kaumaha ma aneʻi, ʻeā? Ke hoʻouka ʻia nei ʻo Kong ma luna o nā Twin Towers, nānā ʻo Prescott me ka weliweli i ka wā e uē ana no ke aloha no ka mōʻī huikau o ka Skull Island. Hoʻokū ʻo Kong i kahi hakakā kūʻē i ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana, e pale ana iā Dwan frantic i ke kaʻina hana. Eia naʻe, hālāwai ʻo Kong i kona make ʻana a hāʻule i kona make. ʻO ia, inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e makemake e hoʻomaopopo i ka hopena i hiki mai i nā makahiki he XNUMX i hala Ke ola nei ʻo King Kong; akā manaʻo wau ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kā mākou pale aku i ka migraine a ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hāʻawi mai ai iaʻu a hoʻopoina pū i kēlā mea āpau.

ʻOiai ʻo Kong e moe nei me ke ola ʻole ma nā alanui o Nu Ioka, ʻike ʻo Dwan i ka huhū ua hoʻopuni ʻia ʻo ia e ka paparazzi. Nānā ʻo ia iā Jack, akā ʻaʻole ʻike ʻia kāna hoihoi aloha. Ua maʻi ʻo Prescott e ka debacle, ua haʻalele iā Dwan i nā ʻīlio hae o ka nūpepa. I nā huaʻōlelo ʻē aʻe, "Ua hana ʻoe i kāu moena i ipo, i kēia manawa e moe i loko."  

Ua kaulana ʻo Dwan i kona kaulana, akā he aha ke kumukūʻai? I kona ʻike maopopo ʻana i kāna mau koho i ke kūʻai aku ʻana aku iā Kong no ka kaulana, a me ke aloha hoʻoliʻiliʻi no ke dālā ikaika loa, ua waiho wale ʻia ʻo ia me nā mea pale ʻelua. I ka mana 1933 kumu, ua koe mākou me nā huaʻōlelo hōʻoluʻolu o "Ua luku maoli ka nani i ka holoholona." Maʻaneʻi, ʻaʻole pono e haʻi ʻia ka mea maopopo. Haʻalele ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni iā ​​ʻoe ma kahi leka somber, a lawelawe like me kahi Aesop Fable: Inā makemake ʻoe e hehi i kāu mau manaʻoʻiʻo a pau no ka kaulana a me ka waiwai, e mākaukau e ʻohi i kāu mea e lūlū ai

ʻO Dino De Laurentiis ' King Kong ʻaʻole paha he punahele nā ​​kānaka āpau, akā pono nō e mahalo ʻia no ia mea. ʻO kahi maikaʻi maikaʻi, hoʻomoana i nā manawa, ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e waiho iā ʻoe me kahi meaʻai no ka noʻonoʻo i ka hopena. Inā he minuke wela ia mai kāu nānā hope loa ʻana, paipai wau e hoʻi hou e nānā hou i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Kong.
