“Azikho izingxenye ezincane. Abadlali abancane kuphela.”

Kungenzeka ukuthi wake wakuzwa lokhu ngaphambili. Ngokuvamile, iza ngemva nje kokunikezwa indima ka-Townsperson #9 ekukhiqizweni kwakho kwesikole samabanga aphezulu i-The Music Man, kodwa ekushoyo kuyiqiniso. Kudingeka umlingisi omuhle, oqanjiwe ukwenza okuthile ngesiteji esincane kakhulu noma isikhathi sesikrini futhi adale okuthile okukhumbulekayo. 

Icala ngephuzu: Desiree Gould njengo-Anti uMartha phakathi Ikamu Lokulala. 

Khuluma nanoma ubani mayelana nale filimu futhi, okungekuhle ukuthi, ekugcineni bazoveza u-Anti u-Martha othandekayo njengengxenye engasoze yalibaleka yefilimu yesilashi esivele yansundu futhi esikhumbuleka sekwephuzile sekwephuzile. 

Umbhali / umqondisi Robert Hiltzik ugcwalisa ifilimu yakhe ngenhlobonhlobo yabalingisi abangaziwa abake bahlala efilimini ye-slasher. Kusukela kusenzo sikadadewabo wentombazane esinamandla ka-Judy no-Meg (MEG) kuya kumpheki wezigebengu zocansi, umnikazi wekamu onesizotha, kanye neqembu labasekamu abanomlomo ongcolile, abalingisi be-Sleepaway Camp abalutho uma bengahlukile. 

Ngisho nangaphakathi kwaleli qembu eselivele likhohlakele, u-Anti uMartha ugqama njengomuntu oyinqaba ngendlela ehlukile. Ukuvela kwakhe okokuqala kule filimu kwenzeka ngemuva kwesandulela lapho kushone khona ubaba nengane engozini yesikebhe embi kanti ingane esindile, u-Angela, iyohlala nomzala uRicky kanye no-Anti uMartha. 

Ukusho ukuthi uMarta ushiseka ngokweqile kungaba ukubukela phansi leli khulu leminyaka. U-Gould ungena ephethe isikhwama segrosa esinsundu esigcwele ukudla okulula kuka-Angela no-Ricky abasekhempini njengoba ebhinca imigqa yakhe yokuqala epulangweni sengathi udlalela izethameli ezicatshangwayo zezinkulungwane e-Radio City Music Hall. Kuyinto ebukekayo engaguquki, eyethulo engeke izwakale ingafaneleki ku-movie yasekuqaleni ka-John Waters. Kwesinye isikhathi, kufana nokubuka i-alien esondela enguqulweni yakhe yokuthi umuntu uziphatha kanjani. 

Ukuphuza kwafika kahle kwakungenziwa nge-daffy tic kaGould yokuphendukela kukhamera, njengecele, ebeka iminwe yakhe esilevini sakhe, futhi ethi “Ngiyesaba lokho ngeke kwenzeke nhlobo.” Iba isisho sakhe.

Umzuzu lapho ekhumbula khona ukuthi wambophela intambo ebomvu emunweni wakhe ukuze angakhohlwa ukutshela u-Angela no-Ricky okuthile futhi angakhumbuli ukuthi kwakuyini ikilasi lochwepheshe lamahlaya axakile. Lona wesifazane ngempela uhlinza ngolunye ubude beza phakathi kwethu sonke futhi, kusukela endleleni u-Ricky asabela ngayo ekuziphatheni kukanina, uthola umqondo wokuthi usekujwayele manje. 

Mhlawumbe okukhathaza kakhulu ukuthi sithola ukuthi uMarta akayena nje umama wakho wekhaya ogijimayo, ofaka amaphilisi, ophuza emini kodwa ungudokotela ngokwakhe. Ungambona ngeso lengqondo uMarta ehlinza kuwe? Ubani onganikeza le crackpot isikhunta? 

Yebo, u-Martha uthathe inkululeko yokubagcwalisela kokubili okomzimba ka-Angela no-Ricky futhi uyaqinisekisa ukuthi uyabatshela ukuthi bangatsheli muntu ukuthi bazithole kanjani. Kungani uMarta ezokwenza lokhu? Ufihleni? Amehlo kaGould amakhulu aluhlaza agijima ngendlela engalindelekile kangangokuthi awukwazi ukufunda kahle ngaye. Ingabe uyinqaba noma kukhona okunye okubi kakhulu okwenzekayo?

Imizuzu engama-70, abantu abaningi abashonile, kanye namadevu e-Silly Putty kamuva, u-Anti uMartha ubuya ngesikhathi sesimo sezulu esidabukisayo lapho sithola khona ukuthi u-Angela ekuqaleni wayenguPetru, futhi uMartha wanquma ukukhulisa ingane njengo-Angela ngoba "wayehlale efuna intombazanyana." .” Kuleli qophelo, uMarta usuka ekubeni yinqaba ngendlela ekhangayo waya ekubeni ohlanya ngokuphelele. Ubalula nokuthi umyeni wakhe wamshiya (ibig shocker) okwamvimba ukuthi athole intombazanyana ahlala eyiphupha. Marta, uke wezwa ngokutholwa noma ngokudakwa ubusuku obubodwa ngaphandle kwesivikelo? Hhayi ukuthi noma ubani onengqondo elungile angakunikeza ngokuzithandela enye ingane ozoyikhulisa, kodwa kufanelekile ukudutshulwa. Impela kunengqondo ukwedlula ukuhlukunyezwa kwezingane akuphoqa ku-Angela ompofu. Ngalokhu kuvezwa, uMarta uba ngumdlali weqiniso wefilimu. 

Kunoma yibaphi abalingisi abakhona, lokhu makube yisifundo kini. Akunandaba ukuthi singakanani isikhathi sesikrini noma ukuthi unemigqa emingaki. Uma u-Desiree Gould engenza okuthile okukhumbulekayo ekubukekeni kuka-Anti uMartha okuyimizuzu emi-3, nawe ungakwenza. Ukhumbula isisho sakudala se-showbiz sokuhlala ebashiya befuna okwengeziwe futhi, kimina uqobo, ungishiya ngifuna ukubona idrama yezokwelapha u-Anti u-Martha. Cabanga ngalowo mlingiswa osegunjini lokuhlinza edala idrama. Ukuyibeka nje lapho.
