Candyman ma mua o kahi mea paʻa i ka kinima hou. ʻOi aku ia ma mua o kahi kaomi wāwae wale nō i loko o nā puke moʻolelo moʻolelo kiʻiʻoniʻoni o Hollywood, ua ʻae ʻo ia i ke ʻano ʻeleʻele i kahi inoa inoa weliweli i hōʻoluʻolu ʻole ka poʻe, a maikaʻi nō. Ma ka liʻiliʻi e kamaʻilio ana mākou e pili ana ia.

Ma ka 1992 Candyman i kona ala i ka hana. I ka greenlit e celluloid financiers manaʻo kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ke kumu; he haumana puka puka keʻokeʻo ʻo Helen ka mea nāna e aʻo i nā unuhi o ke kiʻi i lilo i mea koʻikoʻi me kahi kaona kūlanakauhale ʻeleʻele i manaʻo ʻia e kū ana ke hana hou ʻoe i kona inoa ʻelima mau manawa i ke aniani. He kiʻi hou ia o ka moʻolelo o Bloody Mary.

ʻOia i Candyman hana ka incantation a kāhea ʻo Helen i ke kaʻao hulking i loko o ka honua corporeal. Ma laila, hoʻohana ʻo ia i ka lou i pani i kona lima ma ke ʻano he mea pepehi kanaka e ʻānai ai i nā mea ʻeleʻele i loaʻa iā ia. Ua kauoha ʻia ʻo Director Bernard Rose e hōʻoia i ka ʻole o ka mea āpau hilahila ʻole.

"Pono wau e hele a loaʻa kahi hui o nā hālāwai me ka NAACP, no ka mea hopohopo nui nā mea hana, a he aha kā lākou i ʻōlelo mai ai iaʻu i ka heluhelu ʻana i ka palapala" No ke aha mākou e hui pū nei me kēia hālāwai? ʻIke ʻoe, leʻaleʻa maikaʻi wale kēia. ' ʻO kā lākou manaʻo hoʻopaʻapaʻa 'No ke aha e pono ʻole ai i ka mea hana ʻeleʻele e lilo i ʻuhane? No ke aha e pono ʻole ai i kahi mea hoʻokani ʻeleʻele ke pāʻani iā ​​Freddy Krueger a i ʻole ʻo Hannibal Lector (sic)? Inā ʻoe e ʻōlelo nei ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hele, kekeʻe maoli ia. He kiʻi hoʻoweliweli kēia. . . ” wahi a Rose.

ʻOiai me nā hoʻomaikaʻi o ka NAACP Candyman i ka manawa hoʻonāukiuki i nā mea hoʻouluulu a hoʻonāukiuki i nā loiloi. Ma muli o kahi moʻolelo mai kā Clive Barker kākau ʻōlelo hoʻoweliweli i kāhea ʻia Ka Papa Kapu, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ke kumu ma Liverpool. No ka mana ʻAmelikekalia ua hoʻokaʻawale ka diabolō i kekahi o nā lāhui kūpilikiʻi o ʻAmelika i hala.

Ua pilikia kēia i kekahi poʻe i manaʻo ua hoʻomau ka loli i kekahi mau stereotypes, kikoʻī nā kaiāulu loaʻa kālā haʻahaʻa. Luna Hoʻokele o ke kala ʻo Carl Franklin nāna i kōkua i ka 1992 Hoʻokahi Hewa Hewa, ua hopohopo nui ʻia. 

"ʻAʻohe nīnau e hoʻokani kēia kiʻiʻoniʻoni i ka makaʻu keʻokeʻo waena waena o ka poʻe ʻeleʻele," i ʻōlelo ʻo Franklin i ka makahiki '92. ”Hoʻohana hoʻomāinoino ia i nā stereotypes lāhui a me nā kaʻao luku e hoʻoweliweli. Ua loaʻa iaʻu he hokey a me ka unsettling. ʻAʻole maikaʻi ia naʻu no ka mea ʻaʻole wau e mahele i kēlā mau makaʻu, kūʻai i loko o kēlā mau kaʻao. ”

Ua hōʻino ʻia inā hana ia a hōʻino ʻia inā ʻaʻole pēlā. Me he mea lā ke hana nei i kahi "ʻeleʻele" ʻo Freddy Krueger ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke pepehi i kekahi kanaka. Inā ua pepehi ʻo ia i ke kanaka keʻokeʻo he pilikia kēlā. Inā ua pepehi ʻo ia i kahi kanaka ʻeleʻele he pilikia kēlā. Hiki paha i ka honua i nā '90s ke lawelawe i kāna mua i kahi slasher supernatural ʻeleʻele? He nīnau paʻakikī kēlā a laila paʻakikī ia i kēia lā.

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ke kū nā hewa ʻeleʻele i nā kaiāulu ʻeleʻele ʻaʻohe mea e nānā. ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo Helen i kahi kaʻao moʻomeheu a hiki i kona lilo ʻana i ʻāpana o ia mea e hiki ai ke wehewehe i kekahi o mākou e kūpaʻa i ka ʻōlelo ʻana he makapō a makaʻu mākou i nā pilikia ma waho o kā mākou.

ʻO nā nīnau i nā pili moʻomeheu, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Rose i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kāna kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Ua kiola ʻia ʻo Actor Tony Todd ma ke ʻano he monster titular me Virginia Madsen e like me kāna pulakaumaka. Weliweli Kuwaena alakaʻi i kahi nīnauele me Todd i ka makahiki 2019 a ua noi lākou iā ia inā ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka palapala e pili ana i nā leka kaiaulu i kēlā manawa.

"ʻAe, ua hana wau. ʻAʻole i loaʻa iaʻu ka nui o ka flack, ”hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Todd. "E like me Bernard i loaʻa i ka nui flack mai ka NAACP. Makemake lākou e ʻike i kahi script mua. Ua makaʻu wale lākou e hōʻeha paha ke kiʻi o kahi boogeyman ʻeleʻele, akā ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike i ke ʻano o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a mākou e hana nei. He kiʻi ʻoniʻoni akamai loa kēlā. ”

Pēlā nō ka manaʻo o ka poʻe he nui. Hāʻawi ʻo Roger Ebert i ke kiʻi i kahi helu maikaʻi me ka ʻole o haʻi ʻana i ka lāhui lāhui i kāna loiloi. Ua kia ʻo ia i ka moʻolelo a me ka hilinaʻi ikaika ʻole paha i kekahi mea e hiki ai ke hana a i ʻole inā he loea, hoʻoweliweli ʻia e ka pouli, e hakakā paha ia e noho ola. "Inā manaʻoʻiʻo nā poʻe āpau he aia nā aligator i nā humuhumu, e hiki anei?" Nīnau ʻo Ebert. "No laila e nānā iki ka Candyman i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ka mea noiʻi e hoʻihoʻi iā ia?"

Hope loa, ma hope Candyman wehe ʻole nā ​​pūʻulu kuleana kanaka a me nā hui kaulike i kani nā pūhoho. ʻAʻole lākou i kuhikuhi i nā poʻomanaʻo koʻikoʻi o ka gentrification e ʻoi aku paha ka ʻike i ka makeke o kēia lā.

Candyman ʻike i ka kūleʻa o ke keʻena pahu kūloko e kuʻi ana Star Trek hopena a me 'O ka'ohana Addams i nā makahiki kiʻekiʻe no 1992.

ʻElua hopena Candyman: Aloha ʻoe i ke kino a Candyman: Lā o ka poʻe make e hoʻomau i ka hoʻoilina hoʻoilina akā ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi.

I 2020, Candyman ua lilo i kilokilo weliweli. He aha ka mea i hoʻomaka ma ke ʻano hopohopo a ua lilo i mea hoʻouluulu. Ua lilo kahi moʻo mele o Todd i ʻāpana o ka mōʻaukala cinematic ʻeleʻele e like me ka mea pepehi kanaka ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele mua i hōʻike ʻia ma ka papakaumaka.

ʻO Tananarive Kūpono, kahi mea hana ma kā Shudder palapala Ka weliweli Noire: kahi moʻolelo o ka weliweli ʻeleʻele,  i ʻōlelo ʻia i loko o kahi ʻatikala e pili ana i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli ʻeleʻele, "Ua makaʻu ʻo Tony Todd i ka mānoanoa mai ka honua holoʻokoʻa. Makaʻu mau ka poʻe e ʻōlelo 'Candyman' ʻelima mau manawa i kēia lā. E like me kā Jordan Peele i ʻōlelo ai i loko o ka palapala - hiki iā mākou ke lilo ʻo Freddy [Krueger] i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni nui loa. ”

Ma kahi o 30 mau makahiki ma hope e hana ana ʻo Peele i kahi hopena pololei i ka mea kumu akā i kēia manawa me kahi hui o nā mea hana ʻAmelika ʻApelika. ʻO Yahya Abdul-Mateen II ke alakaʻi a alakaʻi ʻo Nia DaCosta.

"Aia nō ke ʻano o ka lawe ʻana i nā kuleana, a me ka haʻi ʻana i kahi moʻolelo ʻEleʻele e pili ana i ka poʻe ʻEleʻele," wahi a DaCosta iā aupuni a. "He mea nui ia no mākou āpau e loaʻa i ko mākou ʻano nui e ʻeleʻele, a no kēia ʻike e ma o ka maka aniani. E hōʻoia e hoʻololi mākou i nā aniani i kēia manawa. "

ʻOi aku paha ka mea nui o kēlā aniani i kēia lā ma mua o ka wā ma mua. Ke hoʻoponopono nei nā mea hana ʻeleʻele i ulu aʻe me nā meʻe liʻiliʻi o ka pāpāho e hoʻoponopono i nā mea nui ʻole ma ka backlog o Hollywood. Me he mea lā aia kēia hanauna o nā mea pena kiʻi ʻeleʻele i ka nexus o ka loli e alakaʻi ai i nā moʻolelo kuleana a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo e pili ana i ka poʻe liʻiliʻi.

"ʻO kaʻu pili me Candyman mea maʻalahi, ” wahi a Peele. "ʻO ia kekahi o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i mākaʻikaʻi i kekahi ʻano o ka ʻike ʻeleʻele i ke ʻano weliweli i nā makahiki 90, i koʻu wā e ulu ana. He hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona ia iaʻu no ke ʻano moho o ke ʻano a me kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hoʻonāukiuki iaʻu. "

ʻO nā kumu kumu ʻekolu Candyman kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kēia manawa loaʻa i ke kahawai.
