INTRODUCTION:
A “gremlin” can fit in a person’s hand. Deep in the Amazon jungle live creatures, small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, that spend their days in the vertical world of the rainforest and their nights in hollow tree trunks. Beloved by the local Satare Maue Indians, who live alongside them, marmosets and tamarins are the world’s smallest monkeys. These animals, some never seen before, are the subject of the NATURE program GREMLINS: FACES IN THE FOREST. Marmosets and tamarins are monkeys, but they’re nicknamed “gremlins” for their appearance and mischievous behavior. During World War II, British Royal Air Force pilots whose airplanes malfunctioned often blamed mishaps on gremlins — tiny, mythical creatures that supposedly caused mechanical difficulties regularly, but who were also capable of making something work when it appeared broken. These legendary creatures so captivated pilot Roald Dahl that he chose them as the subject for his first published book, THE GREMLINS, in 1943. More recently, the magical animals appeared i n the 1984 movie GREMLINS, produced by Stephen Spielberg.

Summary
Gremlins (1984)
Minature green monsters tear through the small town of Kingston Falls. Hijinks ensue as a mild-mannered bank teller releases these hideous loonies after gaining a new pet and violating two of three simple rules: No water (violated), no food after midnight (violated), and no bright light. Hilarious mayhem and destruction in a town straight out of Norman Rockwell. So, when your washing machine blows up or your TV goes on the fritz, before you call the repair man, turn on all the lights and look under all the beds. 'Cause you never can tell, there just might be a gremlin in your house.
When Billy Peltzer is given a small creature called a Mogwai by his father, he is unaware of the carnage he is about to encounter. There is a huge responsibility in looking after Gizmo as there are certain rules which must be followed. The Mogwai must be kept away from bright light, never made wet and never, ever be fed after midnight. When an accident occurs involving Gizmo and water, the next evolution stage of the Mogwai appears, and it isn't nice at all.
A loveable but mysterious exotic pet brought home from Chinatown becomes the source of a slew of miseries for an American suburb when the "Mogwai's" owners disobey a few basic precautions and help spawn a host of evil creatures.
Sure, he's cute. Of course you can keep him. But heed these three warnings: Don't ever get him wet. Keep him away from bright light. And the most important thing, the one thing you must never forget: no matter how much he cries, no matter how much he begs . . . never, never feed him after midnight. With these mysterious instructions, young Billy Peltzer takes possession of his cuddly new pet. He gets a whole lot more than he bargained for.
Gremlins begins with inventor Rand Peltzer trying to find a quick gift for his son Billy before returning home from a New York trip. He settles on a unique pet in a Chinatown curio shop--a cute, furry creature known as a Mogwai. Before he leaves, he is warned by the shop's owner that three rules must be obeyed by a Mogwai owner: 1) Keep it away from bright light, 2) Don't get any water on it, and 3) Never, never ever feed it after midnight. Rand takes note of these rules and returns home with the Mogwai to his idyllic small-town home of Kingston Falls. Rand's gift is an instant hit: Billy loves his adorable new pet, naming it Gizmo and taking it everywhere he goes. Unfortunately, he and his friends also begin breaking the rules of Mogwai care. When water is accidentally spilled on Gizmo, it causes him to multiply and produce a number of mischievous little brothers. Among these is the mean-tempered Stripe. Soon enough, the new Mogwai get hold of some food after midnight and this causes them to change from cute fur-balls into nasty, scaly monsters dubbed 'Gremlins.
LITERARY CRITICISM:
This hit from the 1984 has lost none of its ability to frighten and entertain. Both a dark comedy and a cultural commentary, GREMLINS adds up to much more than a monster flick. Although they grow meaner, the Gremlins possess a sick sense of humor that establishes the twisted comic tone. Visually, the movie is also filled with fun touches, like a "Have a Safe and Happy Holiday" sign shown while a science teacher is rather indelicately butchered.
The special effects are also convincing if not original: Gizmo looks a bit like an Ewok from Star Wars, and the Gremlin pods seem lifted directly from Alien. Gremlins even attempts a message by exploring the evils of mid-'80s corporate culture: human acquisitiveness and the drive to conquer and control nature. In the end, the old Chinese man who sold Billy's dad the Mogwai returns to sum it up: "You do with Mogwai what your society has done with all of nature's gifts. You are not ready."
CONCLUSION:
On the surface, Gremlins is a story about mysterious beasts, presumably from the orient. Mr. Peltzer, an inventor by trade whose numerous inventions are frequently dysfunctioning and providing comical relief, goes to Chinatown in search of a gift for his son. He finally finds exactly what he would like: a mysterious creature called a Mogwai. The shopkeeper claims he cannot sell it because Mogwai are too great a responsibility. It is interesting to note here that Mogwai is actually a Chinese word describing demons/monsters. They are known to reproduce before rainy seasons, which becomes interesting to latter parts of the plot. The shopkeep's Americanized grandson sells Mr. Peltzer the creature in secret, as his family is desperate for money. The young boy tells Mr. Peltzer the three rules of caring for a Mogwai: never expose them to bright light, never get them wet, and never let them eat after midnight. The remainder of the story consists of the enterprising family taking these three rules with devastating results. They find out how the Mogwai repoduce, evolve into evil gremlins, and take over the city, and how to kill them using sunlight.
While watching Mr Peltzer's son, Billy, try to save the town from his horrible childish errors was amusing, I had the most fun deconstructing the plot for its hidden context. When it came to me, I was so shocked that a movie so dumb and corny could be about something so serious and complex, but with the right view of the film the conclusion is inevitable: Gremlins is about capitalism in the globalized economy.
That's right. I said it. It's a commentary on the economy! You may think I am crazy, but look at the evidence:
A salesperson of supposedly "superior" American products goes to a Chinese community looking for a novelty. He finds something extravagant and mysterious and the shopkeep is not prepared to make the irresponsible move of giving a Mogwai away. The young, Americanized Chinese child, however, has assumed American Values and as such knows everything has a price. Thus, the young Chinese boy makes an irresponsible decision. Partly because of his ignorance, partly because of his values, but principally because his family is starving and someone must do something so they have money to survive. Sounds pretty solid so far, right?
Later, the son of the main character has difficulty starting his car, and his neighbour reminisces about the good old days when products were American and had superior quality. He claims that "foreign" products are inferior because they have gremlins. When Billy finally gets to work, we find out he works for the bank and his boss is a crazy suit-wearing soulless... ,ou know the stereotype. Also, she is a crazy rich cat lady who names her cats after different kinds of currency. The Neighbour in this story is not dissimilar to Mrs. Peltzer, the inventor’s wife who maintains in bad faith (and much to the detriment of her household) that there is absolutely nothing wrong with her husband dysfunctional inventions that cause mayhem. Apparently no-one in this town is willing to accept that good ol' American ingenuity isn't what it used to be. However, the neighbour is correct about Gremlins because once they come on to the scene it becomes clear that the gremlins have a knack for causing trouble, especially mechanical problems.
Most of the problems that arise are the result of ignorance or carelessness, and sometimes Billy is unable to get help because people are unwilling to accept what is happening. The feelings and needs of the Mogwai are typically overlooked until it is too late, especially in the case of a science teacher who examines a Mogwai for scientific purposes. This is very similar to environmental crises that arise as a result of poor corporate policies – they arise out of ignorance, are typically ignored and denied, and are reduced to objects of fascination to be observed from a scientific perspective.
Despite all these similarities, It wasn't until the very end when the gremlin invasion is solved and the shopkeep comes to the house to return the poor Mogwai to his proper place that it became positively undeniable that this was a story about capitalism. The shopkeep actually says to Mr. Peltzer that he "does not know how to use the gifts of nature responsibly" but that perhaps one day Billy might be ready. It was good to see that the movie ended on the encouraging note that in the future we might be prepared to be corporately responsible, but so long as we do not value responsibility, and so long as there is ignorance about the effects of our actions on the world, it is very difficult to know if we are even capable of doing the right thing.
So, As much as I enjoyed Gremlins for its own sake, the best part for me was realising that this incredibly corny movie actually had some very well thought out dialogue, characters and plot, that made important insights to the nature of globalized capitalism. Sadly, this piece never got the recognition it deserved, as it will always be remembered as a cheesy laughable movie, merely enjoyable entertainment and nothing more.Collapse this post

5. cover the dough with a cling wrap let it rise for 30 mins. transfer to a parchment paper and divide it to 16 equal parts( to do this you can just divide the dough in half, then cut the 2 pcs each to a half again which gives you 4 pcs then cut each piece to half again which gives you 8 pcs, then cut all the pcs to half again which will be equal sizes of 16 pcs.)
6. roll out each dough to a round 2" diameter, thicker at the center and thinner at the side. place the filling at the center and wrap it using thumb and index of right hand finger pinching the sides and using the left thumb to push the filling to stay in the center as your right hand pinch and rotate to seal the bun.
7. place the bun in a steamer with the cut parchment paper on each base.
8. cover and let it rise for 30 mins.
9. place the steamer over boiling water and steam for 15 mins. quickly remove the lid to refrain the water dripping into the buns, you may also use a clean cloth to cover the lid while steamingCollapse this post
