Keu loa ia?

He nīnau kēia i kū i mua o nā mea hana keaka weliweli mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o kēia ʻano. ʻO ka manaʻo o ka weliweli ka hoʻonāukiuki ʻana. E hoʻoweliweli. Hoʻoluhi a hoʻohoka paha. Akā i ka manawa hea ke kiʻi o kahi mea hana kiʻiʻoniʻoni i ka laina mai "Will Upsetting" a "Irresponsibly Exploitative"?

Mai nīnau Steven soderbergh.

Ma kaʻili, ʻAʻohe Loaʻa iā ia nā hana āpau o kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻoluʻolu, hou loa. ʻO ka gimmick nui o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, i paʻi ʻia ma ka iPhone holoʻokoʻa. Ua hāʻawi ʻia i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kahi hiʻohiʻona huhū a me ka pahu leta aʻu i makemake nui ai mai ka hoʻomaka.

He mea pono nō hoʻi e hoʻomaopopo iā Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharoah, a me Juno Temple i nā mea nui e like me nā kiʻi ʻehā o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

Me kēlā ma waho o ke ala, e hele i ka nitty-gritty o ia, ʻeā?

He kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kēia ʻoliʻoli i ka weliweli o nā wahine, a hoʻokahi wahine i ka nui. ʻO Sawyer Valentini (Foy), ka mea i kiʻi mau ʻole ʻia no nā makahiki ʻelua i hala e kahi kanaka pohihihi i kapa ʻia ʻo David Strine (Leonard).

I kēia manawa, ʻo wau nō nā mea āpau e pili ana kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, hoʻopono e pili ana i nā makaʻi o ke kāne kāne ʻino, hana ʻino kāne, a me ka makaʻu i hoʻoili ʻia i nā wahine he nui ma ka lima o nā kāne e manaʻoʻiʻo nei he waiwai lākou.

Akā ʻaʻole kēia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

Ma kahi o, ke ʻimi ʻana ʻo Sawyer i kōkua no kāna PTSD (lawe ʻia e kona mau makahiki o ka holo ʻana mai kāna stalker), ʻae ʻae ʻia ʻo ia i loko o kahi keʻena noʻonoʻo ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kahi scam e holo nei ka hale. ʻO ka nui o nā maʻi i kākau inoa ʻia, ʻo ka nui o ke kālā i loaʻa iā lākou.

No laila ke hana nei mākou ʻelua nā pilikia nui: nā kāne kolohe, a me ka mālama olakino noʻonoʻo. A i luna o nā mea āpau, ua ʻike koke ʻo Sawyer ua hoʻopaʻa kāna stalker i kahi kūlana ma ke ʻano he kūlana hanohano i ka haukapila.

Noi kēia i ka nīnau: pehea ka pō i hoʻokumu ai ka stalker iā ia iho keia hale, e ʻike nei e ʻimi ʻo Sawyer iā ia iho, a komo i laila?

He hanana wale paha ia? Loaʻa iā ia nā mana noʻonoʻo e ʻike ʻole ai? ʻO kēia anei ka wale no kahi ola olakino ma waena o ʻelua haneli mile o kahi a Sawyer e noho ana? ʻAʻole mākou e ʻike.

ʻO kēia lua nui i loko o ka hoʻolālā i ʻae ʻia i hoʻopilikia koke ʻia iaʻu, a malia paha ua kōkua ia e hōʻino i koʻu manaʻo o ke koena o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. Akā ʻaʻole naʻe wau i manaʻo.

He paʻakikī e komo i loko o nā kikoʻī kikoʻī o ka mea aʻu i ʻike nui ai e pili ana i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me ka ʻole o ka hōʻino ʻia ʻana, no laila ke kau nei wau i kahi ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ma aneʻi no…ʻO Vague Spoilers?

Heluhelu i kāu makemake.

ʻO ka weliweli ma ke kumu, kahi ʻano kahi e pakele ʻole ai kekahi. Ua ʻike wau (a ua hana ʻia) i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli kahi, i ka hopena, ua make kēlā me kēia ʻano i kekahi ʻano weliweli a wili, a ʻaʻole wau i huhū iki e ia. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ke ʻano! Kū nā mea maikaʻi ʻole.

ʻo kēia aole kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i pau i ka hoʻokahe ʻia o ke koko. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, i ka hele ʻana o ka weliweli ma ka helu R, ʻaʻole maoli ia he kolohe. Akā ʻo nā kaʻina o ka hana ʻino i loko o kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni nāna wau i hoʻomaha iki.

ʻO ka hana kolohe i nā wahine kahi mea a mākou e kū ai i kēlā me kēia lā i kēia ao. Ke noho nei mākou i ke au o #MeToo; ke nānā nei mākou i ka lawe ʻia ʻana o nā kāne i nā kūlana mana e nā wahine i hoʻoholo ʻaʻole lākou e mālama ʻia ma ke ʻano he kamaʻāina papa ʻelua.

Me he mea lā nui ia, pīhoihoi e ola nei.

Ua manaʻoʻiʻo wau, i ka hoʻomaka, e lilo kēia i kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i loaʻa i kēlā leka i kāna kumu. Hiki i nā wahine ke pakele i nā ass-ass. Hiki ke kuʻi ʻia ka makaʻu. ʻO mākou, ma ke ʻano he kanaka, hiki ke hana pū e ola ai a hiki i ka weliweli loa o nā kūlana.

Ua manaʻo wau i huhu kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. A haunted mea pīhoihoi i hana i ka makaʻu e hiki ke hele mai he wahine i kēia ao.

Akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia koʻu mau manaʻolana.

ʻO Sawyer kahi protagonist akamai. He wiwo ʻole ʻo ia, a mākaukau ʻo ia e hana i nā mea āpau āna e hana ai i mea e ola ai i ke kūlana weliweli i loaʻa iā ia iho. ʻAʻole ʻo ia ka 'wahine weliweli' a mākou i ʻike ai i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli i hala. Nānā ʻo ia i kāna stalker make i nā maka a haʻi iā ia ʻaʻole makaʻu ʻo ia.

I maoli makemake e makemake iā ia!

Akā ʻaʻohe ona hopohopo me ka ʻae ʻana i kekahi wahine ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole loa i kāna mau hoʻolālā i kēlā me kēia ʻano a ʻano paha, e hoʻomāinoino ʻia a ʻaneʻane e hoʻomake ʻia e hiki ai iā ia ke pakele mai kāna mea nāna i hopu. ʻO ia ʻoiaʻiʻo hoʻohana i ke kanaka maʻi noʻonoʻo me maunu, hele a mamao loa e kipaku aku i ke kaikamahine ʻilihune mai ke ala e hiki ai iā ia ke pakele. Huli ʻo ia i ka manawa kūpono e ʻike ai i kāna mea hana ʻole ʻike ʻole, i nā manawa āpau e noi ana i kāna kōkua, e haʻi i kāna ʻāʻī.

He mea kūpono paha ia e hoʻomaopopo, i kēia manawa, ua hoʻohuli ʻia kēia hoʻolālā e pili ana i ka ʻike ʻo Sawyer ua hoihoi maoli ʻia kēia wahine ʻo ia, ʻo ia ka mea e hilinaʻi iā ia pono lawa e hāʻawi iā ia i kahi manawa e ʻaihue i kahi mea kaua mai iā ia.

ʻO ka mea male kāne wale nō i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i loaʻa ʻia i ka lāʻau, hoʻomāinoino ʻia a make loa.

ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona kolohe ʻē aʻe i loko o kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kona ʻano ʻeleʻele wale nō i hoʻomāinoino ʻia me ka uila, a ʻo ka hope ka lāʻau make.

ʻAʻole wau i hauʻoli i kēia.

A nānā, loaʻa iaʻu. ʻO ia weliweli. ʻO ia haʻalulu-waiwai. Inā huhū wau, ʻo ia ka hana a ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kāna hana, ʻeā? E hele wale wau i luna o koʻu lio kiʻekiʻe, a hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole i makemake ʻia kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e nani. ʻO ia ka mea e hoʻonāukiuki iaʻu.

Akā 'ōlelo wau'aʻole'.

ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke palaualelo a ʻae i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e pakele me ka hana ʻole ʻana ma ke ʻano maʻalahi no ka mea he ʻāpana ia o kahi ʻano a mākou e aloha ai. Hāʻawi wale kēia i ka stereotype a mākou nā mea pā o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli i nele i ka ʻono maikaʻi. A ʻike wau, no ka mea he hapa wau o kēia moʻomeheu no kekahi manawa lōʻihi, ʻaʻole mākou.

Aia nui o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i waho e kū pono i nā pilikia like like ʻAʻohe me ka ʻole e kāpae i kēia mau palena like. ʻO Green Room, ʻO Neon Deon, ʻO Mullholland Drive, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe he nui i ka noʻonoʻo. Nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e pili ana i ka hana ʻino, ka inaina, ka hoʻokūkū lāhui, ka wahine, a me ke ʻano o ke kanaka. Nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hana a wahi.

ʻAʻole au e ʻōlelo i hiki ʻole i nā wahine ke make i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli. ʻAʻole au e ʻōlelo i ka hiki ʻole i ka poʻe ʻeleʻele ke make i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni weliweli. Akā ʻaʻole pono ʻole ko lākou make ʻana. ʻAʻole pono e hana ʻia no ka waiwai haʻalulu.

Aia kahi ʻōlinolino o ka manaʻolana. ʻAʻohe ua kī ʻia me ka iPhone. He freaking iPhone! 

No laila ke kamaʻilio nei wau i kēia manawa i koʻu mau hoa hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni waho. Inā ʻoe e noho ana ma laila, e heluhelu ana i kēia, e noʻonoʻo ana 'hiki iaʻu ke hana ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kēlā', a laila e hana. Hele i waho; hopu i kekahi mau hoaaloha a me kahi lako hoʻopaʻa leo, a hana i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

ʻAʻohe ʻaʻole wale i ʻike ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.

Manaʻo wau hana mākou.
