Ngihlale ngingumlandeli omkhulu kaGeorge Romero. Futhi uma ungumlandeli wanoma yiluphi uhlobo lwamafilimu e-zombie, nawe kufanele ube njalo. Umqondisi ushintshe ubuso be-zombie unomphela nge-indie flick yakhe yango-1968 Ubusuku babaPhilayo abaFileyo. Konke selokhu kwaba ngaphezulu noma ngaphansi bezama ukuphinda umlingo walowo wobuciko omnyama nomhlophe.

Umthelela wefilimu usazwakala nanamuhla. Ukuthandwa kwamafilimu afana Impi Yezwe Z nemibukiso yethelevishini efana The Dead Ukuhamba bufakazi obanele. Kepha ngaphandle kokuthandwa kwabo, uGeorge Romero ubelokhu ethola ubunzima bokuthola eyakhe imibono emphakathini. Ingabe uyisisulu sendalo yakhe?

Enkulumweni ne I-Hollywood Reporter, umqondisi ukwenza kucace bha ukuthi, empeleni, ukhishelwe ngaphandle. Ukucaphuna:

Intatheli yaseHollywood: Ingabe unemicabango ngekusasa le- Dead i-franchise?

Romero: Ngiye ngaphuma kukho. Abafileyo bakhona yonke indawo kulezi zinsuku. Ngicabanga ukuthi ngempela uBrad Pitt wayibulala. The Dead Ukuhamba noBrad Pitt bavele babulala konke. Ukulungiswa kabusha kwe- Dawn of the Dead wenza imali. Ngicabanga imali enhle kakhulu. Ngemuva kwalokho Zombieland wenza imali, futhi ngokuzumayo, kuza uBrad Pitt futhi usebenzisa amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-400 noma yini ayenzayo Impi Yezwe Z. [Impi Yezwe Z umbhali] UMax Brooks ungumngane wami, futhi bengicabanga ukuthi le filimu ayimelele nhlobo ukuthi lencwadi yayiyini futhi amaZombi ayeyini, angazi, izintuthwane ezazikhasa odongeni kwa-Israyeli. Izintuthwane zebutho. Ungase futhi wenze Ihlathi Elinqunu. Ngokwazi kwami, ngiyaneliseka ukulinda kuze kufe uhlobo lwamaZombi. Amafilimu ami, ngizamile ukufaka umyalezo kuwo. Akukona okumayelana ne-gore, akuyona into ye-horror ekuzo. Kukhulunywa ngomlayezo, okwami. Yilokho okuyikho, futhi ngisebenzisa le nkundla ukuze ngikwazi ukukhombisa imizwa yami ngalokho engikucabangayo.

Lokhu ngokuqinisekile kuphathelene, futhi ukudabuka okwenzeka kula mazwi kukhulu kakhulu. Amafilimu kaRomero angenye yezindlela ezinhle kakhulu ezinikezwa uhlobo olwesabekayo. Akunandaba, kubonakala sengathi ukuhamba kwesikhathi sekuqalile ukungcwaba ithonya lomenzi wefilimu ngokuthanda i-zombie yesimanje, yohlobo lwe-bubblegum.

AmaZombi akhona yonke indawo. Njengama-movie, bebelokhu bevala kancane isiko le-pop kuze kufike lowo mzuzu wokugcina lapho sesidlulwe ngokuphelele. Izimila Vs. AmaZombi. Ukuziqhenya + Ubandlululo + AmaZombi. iZombie. Uhla luyaqhubeka.

URomero unephuzu - ikakhulukazi. Kubonakala sengathi uma isithombe se-zombie sesibe yisakhiwo sodumo kangangokuba umbono wokuthi umuntu ongafile uyisitsha sesingathekiso usuyizindaba ezindala. Dawn of the Dead kwakuwumbono wokungathembi abathengi. Izidalwa lapha zatheleka ezitolo ezinkulu futhi zahamba zishaya ingqondo, kufana nokuthi abezindaba babekade bebayala ukuthi benze njalo ezimpilweni zabo eziningi. Ngefilimu ngayinye, uGeorge Romero ubekade enza isitatimende. Lawa kwakungamabhayisikobho womuntu siqu, lawo anencazelo nokujula. Futhi ngenkathi ngiqinisekile wenza ukujabulela Umhlahlandlela wama-Scouts we-Zombie Apocalypse, bekumnandi okungenangqondo okungenani.

Ngiyavumelana ne- Ubusuku babaPhilayo abaFileyo umdali ingxenye enkulu. Ngiyakuqonda akushoyo ngokuzizwa sengathi ulahliwe yibo bonke laba bantu abathathe ithonya kuye, bazi noma cha. Kodwa-ke, ngicabanga ukuthi kukhona futhi okudinga ukushiwo ngalokhu.

Umehluko phakathi The Dead Ukuhamba futhi cishe onke amanye ama-movie, incwadi, noma umdlalo we-zombie-themed, ukuthi ingxenye eqine kakhulu ngayo iyinto yomuntu. Kuwo wonke ama-Walkers angatholakala ku- I-TWD, kufakazelwa - ikakhulukazi ngabakwaNegan - ukuthi noma ezweni eligcwele abadla inyama, izilo zangempela kusengabantu. Kuhlale kusebenza kahle kakhulu uma kunento eqinile yedrama yomuntu. Lapho kufa abalingiswa abakhulu, izilinganiso ziyakhuphuka. Okuhle. Yilokho okwenzekayo ngomdlalo omuhle.

The Dead Ukuhamba Luyaluqonda usizi lwabantu kangangokuthi ngizwe abantu abaningi belubiza nge- “Soap Opera with zombie cameos - which, in my book, is fine. Iwele imingcele engaphezu kweyodwa futhi iphazamise isabelo sayo esifanele sabantu. Noma kunjalo, isizathu sokuthi ihlale ithandwa kangaka kungenxa yabalingisi. Mhlawumbe umbukiso awenzi isitatimende sezepolitiki njengoRomero, kepha ngokungangabazeki kukhona okuningi kulo mbukiso kune-Walkers kuphela.

Futhi, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi umbukiso yi- ngaphandle futhi cha umthetho. AmaZombi kwenye indawo athathe isikhalazo esingenangqondo, esihlekisayo. Ngokuvamile kunalokho, ukuphuma okungafile emangcwabeni kuboniswa kumahlaya asabekayo. Ukuthukuthela ngokwengeziwe, futhi lapho ukwazi ukwanelisa umbono we-zombie, kungcono i-movie ibonakale ikwenza. Kungumkhuba omangazayo futhi ongalindelekile.

Ngicabanga ukuthi uRomero usenayo kuye yokwenza ifilimu enhle. Ngenza njalo. Ungumuntu okhaliphile nothandekayo. Sidinga nje abantu ukugcina igama lakhe liphila nokuthi bahlale bekhumbuza wonke umuntu ukuthi kuphi The Dead Ukuhamba futhi Impi Yezwe Z kwavela kwasekuqaleni. Ngaphandle kokuchichima kwamaZombi kulolu suku nakule minyaka, kubonakala kunesizungu ngaphandle kukaGeorge A. Romero.

Funa ama-movie akhe. Gqoka eyakho Ubusuku babaPhilayo abaFileyo amahembe. Siza ukugcina amafilimu e-zombie… womuntu.
