Ifilimu Ukulwela Iplanethi Yezwe imayelana nenkawu elahlekelwa ukubamba ubuntu bayo. UCesari, umholi wezinkawu oguqukayo waqala ukwethula ngawo-2011 Ukukhuphuka Kweplanethi Yezwe, yiyona kuphela inkawu okufanele ibhekane nezinkinga ezinjalo. Ukhuliswe ngabantu, uKesari ungumuntu obhajwe esikhunjeni senkawu. Akakaze azizwe ukuthi ungowangempela kunoma imuphi umhlaba. Lokhu kuyashintsha.

Ukulwela Iplanethi Yezwe, ifilimu yesithathu kwifayela le- Apes uchungechunge lwe-prequel, lubhekisa kakhulu empini engaphakathi kukaKesari njengoba kunjalo ngempi enonya phakathi kwezinkawu nabantu. NgoDisemba 2015, ngesikhathi ngivakashele eVancouver, eCanada, ngathola ithuba lokukhuluma nomlingisi u-Andy Serkis ngobudlelwano obunamandla bukaKesari nesintu, obutholwa kancane kancane yimicabango yokuziphindiselela.

DG: Mayelana nempi phakathi kwezinkawu nabantu, namandla ezombusazwe akhona phakathi kukaKesari nebutho lakhe lezimfene, yini eguqukile phakathi kokuphela kwefilimu yokugcina nokuqala kwale filimu?

NJENGOBA: Njengoba kuvulwa le filimu, ukulwa phakathi kwezinkawu nabantu sekushubile kuphela, nabalwi babantu baqeqeshwe kangcono, futhi banonya, ukwedlula esake sabona phambilini. Iholwa ngu-Woody Harrelson's The Colonel, ibutho labantu liqukethe abesilisa nabesifazane abaqeqeshwe ezempi abazinikele kakhulu ku-The Colonel, abakholelwa ukuthi ubahola emkhankasweni wokusindisa uhlanga lwesintu. Ngokungafani nabantu abakwifilimu eyedlule, leli qembu labantu libona izinkawu njengezilwane ezinonya. Impi iyaqhubeka futhi ishubile, futhi zombili izinhlangothi zilimale kanzima.

DG: UCesare ushintshe kanjani selokhu kwaphela ifilimu yokugcina?

NJENGOBA: The War esihlokweni kusobala ukuthi sibhekisa empini phakathi kwezinkawu nabantu, kepha futhi ibhekisa nasempini eqhubeka ngaphakathi kukaKesari. UCesari ulwa naye kule filimu. I-arc yaKesari kule filimu ihlobene ngokuphelele nesidingo sakhe sokuziphindisela. Ubudlelwano bakhe nobuntu, uthando lwakhe ngesintu, luvivinywa kabuhlungu kuyo yonke ifilimu.

DG: Kuvela emifanekisweni, ukuthi uCesari ulahlekelwe, noma ngokusobala ulahlekelwa ubuntu bakhe.

NJENGOBA: Kusukela ngefilimu yokuqala, uCaesar ubelokhu enobudlelwano bothando nezinto zobuntu, futhi lokhu kuye kwaba nzima kulo lonke lolu chungechunge. Manje sesifikile ezingeni lokuphuka, lapho kuzokwenzeka khona imicimbi ebangela ukuthi uKesari agqashule isintu unomphela. Ufunda ukuthi iyini inzondo yangempela, futhi uzizwa lokhu, ngemuva kokubona okwenziwe ngabantu ezinhlotsheni zakhe. Kuyinqubo ethokozisayo, ethusayo ukuyibuka kule filimu.

DG: Ngabe uhamba ngendlela efanayo naleyo uKoba ayenze efilimini yokugcina?

NJENGOBA: UKoba waba nenkohliso, futhi wakhaphela uKesari efilimini yokugcina, okwaholela ekufeni kukaKoba. UCesari akasoze akhaphela izinhlobo zakhe, kepha imizwa yentukuthelo iyafana. UCaesar wabona ukuqina kukaKoba kwifilimu yokugcina, ukuthi uKoba wagcwala kanjani inzondo, futhi wayengakaze acabange ukuthi lokho kuyokwenzeka kuye. Manje uyayiqonda leyo mizwa. UCesari ubelokhu echazwa ngokwazi kwakhe ukushuba namandla akhe okuzwelana. Manje kumayelana nokuziphindiselela.

UWoody Harrelson ulingisa ku "War for the Planet of the Apes" kaTwentieth Century Fox.

DG: UCesare uguquke kanjani, ngokomzimba nangokwengqondo, selokhu kwaphela ifilimu yokugcina?

NJENGOBA: UCesari, njengeningi lezinkawu ezikule filimu, ukhuluma cishe ngokuphelele ngolimi, futhi ukhuluma isiNgisi esihle kakhulu kule filimu, okungcono kakhulu kunakuqala. Kepha uyazibuza kule filimu, hhayi ngobuhlobo bakhe nobuntu kuphela kepha ngokwamandla akhe okuhola izinhlobo zezinkawu. Akaqiniseki ukuthi usengumholi ohamba phambili yini. Lokhu yikho okugqugquzela uKesari ukuthi aqale ukufuna kwakhe, okuwukufuna ukugcina izinhlobo zezinkawu, nokufuna ukuziphindiselela, nokufuna ukuxazulula imizwa yakhe ngesintu. Bengihlala ngicabanga ngoKesari njengomuntu obanjwe esikhunjeni senkawu. Ungumuntu-zee. Wakhuliswa ngabantu, ngakho-ke ungumkhiqizo wokugcina wokuziphendukela kwemvelo. Uyisixhumanisi esilahlekile. Ungumuntu wangaphandle. Akayena owalezo zinhlobo.

DG: Ushintshe kanjani njengomlingisi phakathi kwalawa mafilimu amathathu?

NJENGOBA: Njengomlingisi oshukumisayo, ngijabule kakhulu ukuthi ukusebenza kwe-motion-capture ekugcineni kutholile inhlonipho ebifanele, futhi ngiyajabula ukuthi ngidlale indima kulokho. Lapho abantu bebuza ukuthi yini umehluko phakathi kokulingisa okujwayelekile nokwenza kwe-motion-capture, ngithi akukho mehluko. Abanye abalingisi bagqoka imvunulo nezimonyo, nami ngigqoka isudi yokuthatha izithombe ezinomaka. Izidingo ezingokomzwelo, ezimangazayo zokudlala uKesari ziyefana kimi njenganoma yimuphi umlingisi. Izimonyo engizigqokayo uhlobo lwedijithali.

DG: Njengoba lena kuyifilimu yesithathu ochungechungeni lwe-Apes prequel, buyini ubudlelwano phakathi kwale filimu nefilimu yasekuqaleni ka-1968?

NJENGOBA: Ngenxa yefilimu yango-1968, siyazi ukuthi kuzokwenzekani, futhi siyazi ukuthi izinkawu zizowuthatha ngokuphelele umhlaba. Kodwa kwenzeka kanjani lokho? Yilokho okuthakazelisa kakhulu ngalawa mafilimu we-prequel. Izinkawu ezikwifilimu yango-1968 zinonya futhi azinasihawu; abanalo nozwela noma uzwela esilubonile kuKesari. Kwenzeke kanjani lokhu? Yiziphi izinqumo ezenziwe yisintu ezaholela ekubhujisweni kwaso ekugcineni?
