Kungani ukusebenza kumafilimu asabekayo kuthola ukuqashelwa okuncane, ngesikhathi sika-Oscar, kunokwenziwa kumafilimu kusuka kwezinye izinhlobo?

Ingabe kungenxa yokuthi umqondisi owesabekayo uvame ukubukwa, yizethameli nabagxeki, njengenkanyezi yangempela yalawa mafilimu, kanti ukusebenza kwabalingisi kuvame ukubhekwa njengokungenamsebenzi ngokuphelele, okwesibili, empumelelweni yefilimu. Iphrojekthi yeBlair Witch kanye nohlobo loqobo lwe I Texas Chainsaw Massacre nikeza izibonelo ezinzima kakhulu zalokhu.

Yikuphi ukusebenza okuhle kakhulu kwifilimu esabekayo kusuka, uthi, eminyakeni engamashumi amabili edlule? U-Angela Bettis in Kwangathi? UChloe Grace Moretz in Ngingenise? Ngabe bekukhona okungenzeka ukuthi eminye yale midlalo emikhulu ibonwe yi-Academy? Cha. Babengenalo ithuba le-snowball esihogweni.

Kube khona okuhlukile. UPiper Laurie noSissy Spacek baphakanyiswa bobabili ngemidlalo yabo emihle ngeminyaka yo-1976 Carrie. UKathy Bates unqobe i-Best Actress Oscar ngeminyaka yawo-1990 Usizi. U-Anthony Hopkins futhi Jodie Foster bobabili bawine ama-Oscars ngokudlala kahle kwabo ngo-1991 Ukuthula kwamaWundlu.

Nayi imidlalo emihlanu emikhulu eyethusayo engazange iphakanyiselwe nama-Oscars futhi ibifanele. Bekufanele nokuwina.

Jeff Goldblum

The Fly (1986)

Kwakukhona ukukhuluma okujulile ngokuqokwa kuka-Oscar kweGoldblum elandelayo The Flyukukhululwa ngo-1986, futhi kufanele. NjengoSeth Brundle, usosayensi okwakucwaningwa kwakhe nge-teleportation kwamholela ekubeni abe nezakhi zofuzo — ahlanganiswe nempukane, uGoldblum ufeza ibhalansi ekhohlisayo yokusenza simdabukele uSeth, kanye nesimo sakhe esiya siba sibi, kuyilapho simesaba ngasikhathi sinye. Umzabalazo kaGoldblum wokugcina ukufana kobuntu bakhe phakathi kokuwohloka okuqhubeka kancane kancane okwenzeka engqondweni yakhe kuyamangaza okungapheli futhi kuyethusa kumbukeli.

The Fly futhi iyindaba yothando ebuhlungu. USeth usebudlelwaneni nowesifazane, kudlalwa nguGeena Davis, kanti ukukhulelwa kwakhe okulahlekile kuqukethe usizi lukaSeth kanye nomuzwa wakhe wokulahleka okukhulu-ukulahlekelwa ngowesifazane amthandayo, ingane yabo nengqondo yakhe.

Ubumbili bokuguqulwa kukaSeth, ukuxubana komuntu nendiza, kuvezwa ngokuziphatha kukaSeth, okuya ngokuya kube nesiyaluyalu nokungalingani. Ukuthi uGoldblum, umlingisi owaziwa kakhulu nge-gonzo, izindima ezingashayi eceleni kuyo yonke iminyaka yama-1980, uyakwazi ukudala ukuzwelana okukhulu ngomlingiswa wakhe engqondweni yombukeli kuyimpumelelo emangalisayo yokwenza.

Uhlu Lokufa (1983)

Ukulahlekelwa nakho kusenhliziyweni ye Uhlu Lokufa, okungenye yezinto ezihamba phambili — futhi ezinganakwa kakhulu — ezenzweni zikaStephen King. Uhlu Lokufa kubuswa ukudlala phambili kukaChristopher Walken, okuyinto enhle futhi enamandla njengeqhaza lakhe lokuwina i-Oscar The Deer Hunter.

Umlingiswa kaWalken, uJohnny Smith, unguthisha waseNew England oselahlekelwe yiminyaka emine yengozi engozini yemoto eyamshiya equlekile. Ulahlekelwe ngaphezu kwesikhathi: Intombi abehlose ukuyishada iseshade nenye indoda futhi yaqala umndeni. Uphelelwe ngumsebenzi. Ingozi yemoto imlimaze imilenze yamshiya edinga uswazi. Abangane bamshiyile. Uqalekisiwe futhi ngekhono lokubona okwesibili-ukuze akwazi ukubona ukuphela kwabanye, okwenzeka ngokuthintana ngokomzimba.

Kungemva kokuba sesikwamukele ukujula kokulahlekelwa nguJohnny lapho Uhlu Lokufa iphenduka into evusa amadlingozi. Kuyisasasa elisebenza kahle kakhulu, ngokunembile ngoba libeka izinto zalo ezingaphezu kwemvelo ezimeni ezikholwayo, ezigcwele igalari yezinhlamvu ezisekelayo ezithakazelisayo. UJohnny ungumqondisi wethu, futhi ukusebenza kukaWalken lapha — enye yezindima zokugcina ezihamba phambili zamafilimu zikaWalken, ngaphambi kokuba adlulele kwezindima zabalingisi, njengobaba ongumbulali ngeminyaka yo-1986 Ebangeni Eliseduze—Kubuhlungu kakhulu, nobuhlungu bomlingiswa wakhe bukhomba kakhulu, ukuthi sikhunjuzwa ukuthi ambalwa kangakanani amafilimu ethusayo athatha isikhathi ukusenza sikhathalele ngabalingisi bawo abahamba phambili, nezimo ezingezona ezingokoqobo abazithola bevaleleke kuzo, ngaphambi kokuthi basibuze ukungakholwa.

Jack Nicholson

The Shining (1980)

Kunabantu abathile, abagxeki, abacabanga ukusebenza kukaJack Nicholson ku- The Shining uphezulu, ukhohlwa ukuthi uNicholson mhlawumbe wazalwa enjalo.

Indima kaJack Torrance isebenza njengesikhumbuzo sezinto ezidlayo, ezihamba ze, ezihlazisayo zesikrini sikaNicholson — ngawo-1970 kanye nasekuqaleni kwawo-1980 — ezahamba ibanga elide ekusunguleni isithunzi sikaNicholson njengo, ngokusobala, umlingisi omkhulu waseMelika ophilayo eminyakeni engamashumi amahlanu edlule.

Kukhona ukumamatheka kophawu lwentengiso lukaNicholson, okungakaze kududuze kangako. Lokhu kubonakala okokuqala lapho kuvulwa khona ifilimu, lapho uJack — ingabe sicabanga ukuthi uNicholson, isazi esiphakeme saseHollywood, noTorrance bebodwa? —Uhamba edlula eRockies nomkakhe nendodana yakhe, beqonde eOverlook Hotel.

Ngesikhathi sishayela, uTorrance wabuyisa indodana yakhe, uDanny, ngendaba yokuthi amaphayona okuqala asebenzisa kanjani ubuzimuya ukuze asinde ezimweni zawo ezinzima. Kuyindaba uJack ahlala isikhathi eside kuyo, isikhathi eside kakhulu, esisixwayisayo-ikakhulukazi ngemuva kokubukwa okuningi-ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi uguquko lwakhe seluqalile, uma ngabe luphelile.

Ukudlala kukaNicholson kanye nezingcezu zefilimu, kunjalo, kungenele izinganekwane ze-cinematic (“Wendy, baby, ngicabanga ukuthi ulimaze ikhanda lami,” “Ngizongenisa ubuchopho bakho nje!” “Nangu uJohnny!”). Kodwa-ke, ukujwayeleka kukaJack Torrance okusesabisayo — izici zawo wonke amadoda zeJack Torrance eziqhathanisa inhlanganisela ethandekayo yenkanuko nokuhlanya okugeza ebusweni bakhe kamuva kwifilimu.

Ukuthuthuka kwephupho elibi likaTorrance kusiphoqa ukuthi sisebenzise ezingqondweni zethu, sicabangele, zonke izinto ezingachazeki esesaba ukuthi sinamandla okuzenza.

UNastassja Kinski

Ikati Abantu (1982)

Emakhulwini eminyaka adlule, ngenkathi umhlaba uyinkangala yasogwadule yesihlabathi esiwolintshi, futhi uhlanga lwesintu lusencane, izingwe zabusa phezu kwebutho labantu elidabukisayo, elaphoqeleka ukuba lifinyelele esivumelwaneni esisontekile ngempela nezilwane ezinamandla: Abantu bavuma banikele ngabesifazane babo ezingwe ngenhloso yokuthi basale bodwa.

Esikhundleni sokubulala abesifazane, noma kunjalo, izingwe zahlangana nazo, zakha umjaho omusha: The Cat People.

Ifilimu kaPaul Schrader enobugebengu — ebhalwe phansi, ngokumangazayo — ifilimu enesibindi, i-hyper - isitayela sokuphinda kabusha isitayela se-classic ka-1942, ilandisa indaba yayo ngo-feline — njengamehlo kaNastassja Kinski, odlala indawo ka-Irena, omunye wabantu ababili bekati abasele njengamanje.

Yize ebukeka njengowesifazane omuhle, uhlu lozalo luka-Irena lumenza abe ngumlingani oyingozi kwezocansi: Lapho abantu bekati befinyelela ku-orgasm, baphenduka izingwe ezimnyama babulale abantu ababathandayo.

UKinski, owayebukeka edalelwe ukugqilazeka ngamandla ekuqaleni kweminyaka yama-1980, wenza izinto ezingapheli futhi uyasikisela ekusebenzeni kwakhe nomlingiswa ka-Irena, obonakala njengowesifazane ojwayelekile, onamahloni — onobunzima obukhulu emilenzeni yakhe — omzimba nengqondo yakhe kubonakala njalo ezindaweni ezahlukene.

Kule filimu, uya eNew Orleans ukuyobona umfowabo, odlalwa nguMalcolm McDowell, omchazela isiqalekiso sabo esihlanganyelwe futhi asikisele ukuthi bahlanganyele ukulala nesihlobo — okuwukuphela kwendlela yokuphuma kubo bobabili. Uthandana nomgcini wezilwane, odlalwa nguJohn Heard, okuthi, azi zonke izimfihlo zakhe, asazimisele ukulala naye ekupheleni kwefilimu, njengoba sinjalo.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Halloween (1978)

 

UJamie Lee Curtis wahlonzwa kakhulu nomninimer we "scream queen" esikhathini esalandela ukukhishwa kuka Halloween ukuthi kulula ukukhohlwa ukuthi ukusebenza kwakhe kubaluleke kangakanani empumelelweni yefilimu.

Ngaphandle kukaLaurie Strode kaChartis noDonald Pleasence ongudokotela wezifo zengqondo, uSam Loomis, bonke abanye abalingiswa kule filimu - ikakhulukazi izindima zika-Annie noLynda, abangane bakaLaurie abakhulu kakhulu - bekufanele babe izinhlobo ezijwayelekile, obekufanele ngokuphelele indaba. NoLaurie ubonakala efanelana nale ncazelo — osemusha onamahloni, oyintombi nto ongakaze athandane.

Kepha kungenxa kaLaurie lapho ukwesaba kwenzeka khona, ngenxa yokuthi uyintombi nto. Ukucindezelwa kwakhe ngokocansi kumenza abe ne-hyperaware yokuba khona kukaMichael Myers, osechithe iminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu ngaphakathi esikhungweni sezengqondo futhi, kungacatshangwa ukuthi, naye uyintombi nto. UCurtis, owayengasiyintombi nto uqobo eneminyaka eyishumi nesikhombisa, wayebukeka njengale ntombazane evamile, okwamenza wafinyeleleka kubalaleli, bonke ababengazwana naye.

UCurtis, njengoLaurie, wayengacabangi ukuthi wayemuhle nhlobo ngenkathi esebenza njengendlovukazi. Endimeni kaLaurie Strode, uCurtis wakhombisa izimfanelo ezichaza ukumemeza kwakhe njengendlovukazi: amandla, ukwethembeka nokuba sengozini.

Wayekhangeka ngaphandle kokubonakala engeyena ophilayo, noma esabeka ngokubukeka kwakhe, futhi wayekholwa ngokuphelele njengalo muntu ojwayelekile. Akaze abonakale njengomkhiqizo wobukhazikhazi baseHollywood ukuthi uCurtis wayesempilweni yangempela.

Like Halloween, UCurtis noLaurie Strode bangene embusweni wokungafi. Ngenkathi uCurtis eyindlovukazi yokugcina ekhala ngamabhayisikobho, uLaurie Strode uyinhlangano eshaqisayo yohlobo olwesabekayo.
