*** OKUSHIWO MHLELI: Ithimba labadidiyeli be-The Miranda Murders okuhlanganisa no-GR Claveria kanye no-Matthew Rosvally bamemezele esidlangalaleni ukuthi u-100% wenzuzo yefilimu bekuya ezinhlanganweni ezisiza umphakathi ezifana ne-RAINN, March of Dimes, Three Square kanye ne-The Heifer Foundation. kusukela ekukhishweni kokuqala ngaphambi kokuhlolwa kwabo ku-HorrorHound Film Festival nangaphambi kokubhalwa kwalesi sihloko, umbhali engazi. Baphinde bamemezela esidlangalaleni ukuthi bazonikela nganoma yiziphi izinhlelo zesikhathi esizayo abazizuzile enhlanganweni esiza umphakathi. Lesi kube yisinqumo esenziwe ithimba labadidiyeli ngaphambi kokuba lesi sihloko sibhalwe nangaphambi kokuhlungwa kwe-The Miranda Murders at HorrorHound Film Festival. 

Ngempelasonto, ngithunyelwe ividiyo yephaneli labenzi bamafilimu ebenzeka eHorrorHound Weekend obekuhloswe ngayo ukuthi kube mayelana nokwenziwa kwamafilimu nokusatshalaliswa emphakathini wamafilimu we-indie, futhi kukho konke ukungakhethi, kwaba ngaleyo ndlela okwabonakala ngayo kuqala. Ngokuhamba kwehora elilandelayo, ngibuke lapho umkhiqizi / umbhali u-GR Claveria eshintsha kancane ithoni nokuqondisa kwephaneli kwaba yinto ebonakalayo kwifilimu yakhe Ababulali bakaMiranda: Amateyipu alahlekile kaLeonard Lake noCharles Ng.

Kulabo abangazi, ekuqaleni kwawo-1980 uLake noNg babenomthwalo wokuthumba, ukuhlukumeza, ukudlwengula nokubulala okungenani abesifazane abangama-20 ngenhloso yokwakha into ephelele yesigqila sesifazane.

UClaveria, kanye nomunye umbhali kanye nomqondisi uMathewu Rosvally, bathathe isinqumo sokwakha kabusha amanye amarekhodi wabantu ababili abadumile ngamacala abo ngenkathi begcwalisa izikhala ngokuthatha kwabo lokho okungenzeka kwenzeke emahlathini aseCalifornia phakathi kuka-1983 no-1985. ngaphambi kokuthi ababulali baboshwe ngamacala okweba ezitolo bagcina bedaluliwe.

Lokhu, kukodwa nje, akuwona umqondo omusha kuhlobo. Ngokuqinisekile sesibonile isabelo sethu esifanele samafilimu aphathelene nababulali ababulalayo, bobabili bangempela nabazicabangela, abenza izenzo ezesabekayo kwabesifazane. Ukuthula KwamaWundlu, Copycat, kanye nenqwaba yamafilimu ngamacala kaJack the Ripper entwasahlobo engqondweni.

Noma kunjalo bekukhona okuthile obekungazizwa kahle ngokubuka nokulalela la madoda amabili ekhuluma ngefilimu yawo. Konke bekubonakala kuyihlaya kubo, futhi okuphazamisa kakhulu, kunezikhathi lapho uClaveria, ikakhulukazi, ebonakala eyithokozela le ndaba.

Kunezwi elicishe libe newist, elimnandi ezwini lakhe lapho ethi "uthola ukudlwengula intombazane" kwifilimu. Kamuva, ngemuva kokuwina indondo ngefilimu (iqiniso lokuthi ngemuva kokuyibona kusangimangaza), lelo thoni elimnandi libuyile lapho ethi ifilimu yabo "imayelana nokuthunjwa ngokocansi nemiyalelo yokuthi ungadlwengula kanjani abesifazane" kulandelwe ukubhuqa. “Whoops!” lapho izilaleli zakhe ekugcineni ziqala ukujabula ngendlela ezazithi aziqiniseki kahle ukuthi kufanele zisabele kanjani.

Ungabona ividiyo yezinkulumo zabo ngezansi, ilandelwe yiphaneli ngokuphelele ukunikeza ubufakazi obengeziwe bokuthi ukuphawula okuhleliwe akwenziwa ngendlela ethile ukuze kuguqulwe ithoni yalokho uClaveria noRosvally abakwenza nabakusho ngesikhathi sesigungu.

Ngakho konke lokhu engqondweni, nginqume ukuthi ngidinga ukubekela eceleni isikhathi sokubuka ifilimu, etholakala ukuqasha e-Amazon, ukubona kahle ukuthi la madoda amabili enze ini. Engikutholile kwenza ukuthi ukuphawula kwabo kube kubi kakhulu futhi bangaboni kahle ngendaba kodwa bahlekise.

AmaMiranda Tapes , ngezindlela eziningi, yilokho nje abakuchaze ukuthi kuyikho. Le filimu igxila ekusebenzeni kweLake neNg njengoba bezama, behluleka, futhi bezama futhi, ukudala umbono wabo wokuzithoba ngokuphelele kowesifazane. Umuntu othobekile, ozithobayo, futhi ophuke ngokuphelele ukuze angabe esaphikisana nokwelashwa kwakhe futhi wesabe izijeziso ezinzima abekade elindelwe ukuthi azilindele ngokungaziphathi kahle.

Uhambo lwabo lugcwele ukwenza okungalungile, izigameko eziningi zokudlwengula nezokuhlukumeza (ezinye zazo zenzeka kwikhamera ngenkathi ezinye zenzeka ngomsindo ukuze zinikeze izinkomba zalokho okwenzeka ngasemnyango), indawo lapho uNg ebeka khona omunye wabesifazane izingane ebhodweni bese zilungiselela ukumfaka kuhhavini ngenkathi zimemezela ukuthi "idina lizobe selilungile kungekudala," kanye nokulingisa okubi kakhulu ngize ngizibuze ukuthi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi ifilimu ibhekwe njengokwenziwa kohlelo emkhosini othile, ingasaphathwa eyokuphakanyiswa nokunikezwa kulowo mkhosi .

Ngisadidekile yilokho.

Kwamanye amafilimu engikhulume ngawo phambilini, kunezinyathelo ezicacile ezithathiwe ukugwema ukudunyiswa kwamacala enziwe. IBuffalo Bill in Ukuthula kwamaWundlu angahle abe phezulu futhi izindlela zakhe zibe nobulwane kepha awukho umqondo wokuthi akasiye umubi. Ungumuntu owesabekayo owenza ubugebengu obesabekayo obubhekiswe kwabesifazane futhi ngenxa yalokho kumele amiswe.

In Ababulali bakaMiranda, akukho nje ukuphikisana nezenzo zombhangqwana. ILake liyazethemba ngezenzo zalo nohlelo lwalo lokuqeqesha, kanti uNg, ingxenye ethobekile yombhangqwana wokubulala, uzimisele kakhulu ukulandela imiyalo yangaphambilini yokuthola izinzuzo zokufinyelela okukhulu kwabesifazane ababathumile.

Uma kungekho mbono ophikisayo, ngaphandle kwemibhikisho yezisulu zabo, izenzo zikaLake noNg ziba ukuphela kwendawo okugxilwa kuyo ngakho-ke ukuphela kwelensi esingabuka kuyo imisebenzi yabo. Impela yenza ifilimu ibukeke ingaxegi ebudloveni obubhekiswe kwabesifazane, kepha nokho akukho okuphawulayo ngale ndaba ngaphakathi kokwakhiwa kwefilimu.

Ngosuku nobudala bokunyakaza kwe- # MeToo ne- # TimesUp, lapho izingxoxo ezibucayi mayelana nodlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane zisesikhathini sonke futhi ushintsho kwezenhlalo lubonakala lwenzeka ngale ndaba, la madoda amabili abonakala ekhethiwe, ngokuphawula kwawo, izenzo zabo, nefilimu yabo, ukuze babe yisibonelo esikhanyayo sakho konke lokhu ukunyakaza abazama ukukuqeda.

Lapho siphinda sibheka ukuthi iningi lezisulu zalawa macala kungenzeka lisenemindeni ephilayo engabuzwa imibuzo ngefilimu nokuvezwa kwayo ngababulali nokubulala, ubukhulu besimo sabo sokuzwa-izithulu buza phambili naphakathi.

Ungalokothi ukhathazeke ngokuthi badune iphaneli ukuze bachithe ihora elilodwa bephromotha ifilimu yabo futhi bekhuluma kaninginingi ngabesifazane ababili abasephaneli ababebukeka bengakhululeki ngokwengeziwe njengoba ihora lincipha. Ungalokothi ukhumbule ukuthi bathi bebengazimiseli ukwenza ifilimu ekhazimulisa le ndaba noma iba yinto yabaphambuki bezocansi ukuze baxazulule izifiso zabo ebusuku kakhulu lapho kungekho muntu obukayo.

Iqiniso ngukuthi abakudalile kuyizithombe zocansi zokuhlukumeza, iphupho lokudlwengula, ifilimu lesinemfu elingasenandawo ngonyaka wezi-2018. Iqiniso lokuthi babonakala bengajabule bengakwazi abakwenzileyo liwubufakazi bokuthi imisogyny engazi lutho eyingozi futhi engabonakali endaweni yethu yamanje nokuthi iyaphila futhi isesimweni esihle embonini yamafilimu njengoba kunjalo kwizitudiyo ezikhanyayo zaseHollywood.

Uma kudingeka obunye ubufakazi, kuleli qophelo, lokuthi bazizwa kanjani ngalabo abakhulume kabi ngefilimu yabo nokuthi bazizwa bengenangqondo kangakanani labo abathi bangabo, bheka ividiyo yabo yokubingelela ngamaholide engezansi inkampani yabo yokukhiqiza eyithumele ekugcineni ka-2017.

Uma uRosvally noClaveria nalabo abasekele imibono yabo bengathandi ukujoyina ingxoxo noma ngenxa yanoma yisiphi isizathu bengakwazi, khona-ke ifilimu yabo namazwi abo makube yisihloko sezingxoxo ezishiwoyo, nesifundo kwabesilisa kokungafanele bakwenze .

Ngemuva kwakho konke, kukhiqiza kakhulu ukuthatha isimo salokho okusicasulayo noma okusiphazamisayo noma okusinciphisayo sikusebenzise njengendledlana ukukhuphukela ezinhlosweni zethu kunokuvumela lezo zinto zibe yisigubhu esingenathemba lokuphunyuka kuso.
