Inothi lomhleli: Igazi nenkanuko: Ifa leHomoerotic leHorror yanamuhla ukuqhubeka kweHorror's Inyanga Yokuziqhenya Esabekayo ukugubha umphakathi we-LGBTQ kanye neminikelo yabo kulolu hlobo, kulokhu ngokugxila kumafilimu nama-tropes ama-homoerotic horror asize ukwakha ukwethuka kwanamuhla.

Ama-torsos angenantambo, akhiwe kahle, ama-bromances asondele kakhulu, nakho konke lokho kungena. Uma sike sayibona kanye, siyibone izikhathi eziyinkulungwane.

Eqinisweni, yize uhlobo olwesabekayo lubonakala luthanda ukuhlanganisa abalingiswa besilisa abayizitabane kumafilimu asabisayo, abakaze babe ngaphezulu kokuxhaphaza izinto zobulili bezitabane ukugcina izethameli zinanyathiselwe esikrinini.

Abanye bazokutshela ukuthi bekulokhu kukhona, futhi ngithambekele ekuvumeni lapho ngibuka amafilimu afana neBela Lugosi yakudala Dracula. I-Count igobele phezu kukaJonathan Harker ngendlela ebambekayo, imqapha kuma-vampire abesifazane futhi ithi, "Indoda ngeyami!" kuhle emakhaleni, ngokwesibonelo.

Bese kuba khona ukuphathwa kukaDkt. Pretorius nguHenry Frankenstein nokwedelela kwakhe ngokusobala owesifazane owangena phakathi kwabo Umakoti kaFrankenstein.

Izikhathi ezinjengalezi ziye zaluchaza lolu hlobo cishe iminyaka engama-90, kepha kuze kwaba ngawo-1970s-80s lapho saqala khona ukubona izibonelo ezingaphezulu. Ngeshwa, sibonile futhi izibonelo eziningi zokuqagela.

Kulabo abangajwayele, ukubabaza ngomkhuba kuwumkhuba wokubeka izinkomba ezicashile zobudlelwano bezothando / nezocansi phakathi kwabalingiswa bobulili obufanayo ngaphandle kokukuveza. Kusetshenziswa kaningi ukubamba izethameli zanamuhla zokubuka ifilimu noma uchungechunge lwethelevishini ngokunikela ngezinhlayiya ezihlwabusayo ezincane ngaphandle kwenhloso yokulandela.

Kuye kwashiwo ukuthi lo mkhuba uvumela ababhali nabenzi bamafilimu ukuthi bahlanganise ubudlelwano obuzwakalayo benkosikazi ngaphandle kokubanjwa yizinselele zokuzondwa kwabantu bobungqingili ngokufakwa kwabo uqobo.

Izinto ezimbi azikwazi ukuphatha ukushaywa kwezitabane nokubizwa ngamagama uma kuhloselwe zona, kepha ziqhubeke nokwenza izilaleli ezinesithunzi ezibhekane neqiniso lalezo zinto empilweni yansuku zonke futhi zilindele ukuthi sijabule nganoma yini emele amanga Imvuthuluka bazimisele ukusikhuzela itafula. Ngibheke kuwe, “Okungaphezu kwemvelo.”

Ekugcineni, yebo, siyayijabulela imvelo yama-homoerotic yalawa ma-movie, yize amanye eza ngesikhathi lapho umuntu wayenethuba lokuzwa igama elithi "fa ** ot" lilandela esinye salezi zigcawu. Ekupheleni kosuku, noma kunjalo, ngu-2018, futhi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi siyeke ukudlala emaphethelweni wokufakwa, bese ubhala nje abalingiswa njengobungqingili ukuqala kunokuba ubuze ababukeli be-queer ukuthi bafunde phakathi kwemigqa ukuze bazithole.

Ngenhloso yalesi sihloko, ngizobe ngigxile kumafilimu amahlanu ama-homoerotic horror ikakhulukazi, kodwa kukhona wonke lawo, futhi ngingathanda ukuzwa izintandokazi zakho kumazwana!

Njengamanje, iningi lenu elifundayo selivele licabanga ngalo I-Nightmare ku-Elm Street 2: Impindiselo kaFreddyangithi?

Kuyisibonelo esihle. Empeleni, mhlawumbe yindinganiso yegolide engcolisiwe yalezi zinhlobo zamatimu, nendawo ekahle yokuqala.

1985 – I-Nightmare ku-Elm Street 2: Impindiselo kaFreddy

Ukulandelana kokuqala kwe-Wes Craven yakudala kuthathe isinqumo sokuphuma konke ngokwethula ukuthi abalandeli abaningi bohlobo luni abaluthatha njenge “ntombazane yokugcina” yesilisa

Kusukela ekuqaleni kwefilimu, lapho uJesse (uMark Patton) eqala ukugijima noFreddy Kreuger (uRobert Englund), umuntu angasho ukuthi lokhu akuyona imali yakho ejwayelekile yokuthuthumela. UFreddy uphulula izindebe zikaJesse ngomunwe ovalwe njengomthandi osangene futhi umtshele ukuthi banomsebenzi obalulekile okufanele bawenze.

Kungakabiphi, uJesse uzithola eyinto ebingafunwa uthisha wakhe odidekile ejimini lapho umbhali wesikrini uDavid Chaskin ashiye khona okucashile ngemuva futhi waphuma amabhola uma uzoxolela i-pun. Le nsizwa iphephela kulokho ekutholayo iyibha yesikhumba yezitabane kuphela ukuze ibone ukuthi uthisha ungumvikeli ojwayelekile bese ibuyiselwa emuva egumbini lokushintshela esikoleni ngalokho obekungaphela cishe ngokudlwengulwa ngesihluku ukube uFreddy akazange angenele .

Futhi-ke kukhona ubudlelwano phakathi kukaJesse nomngani wakhe, uRon Grady (uRobert Rusler) obonakala wedlula indawo yobungani obujwayelekile bobungqingili, namanje kuleso sikhathi se "bromances" esamukelekayo.

Esinye sezibonelo ezikhulunywa kakhulu ngalokhu, yiqiniso, kulapho uJesse ebalekela iphathi, futhi efuna isiphephelo, eqonda endlini yomngani wakhe encenga uGrady ocishe unqunu no-oh-so-sexy ukuba amvumele amvumele ahlale ubusuku.

"Kukhona okuzama ukungena emzimbeni wami," kusho uJesse.

“Futhi ufuna ukulala nami…” kuphendula uGrady.

Ngisho, kungani kungenjalo?

Kuningi okuvelile eminyakeni edlule Impindiselo kaFreddy wakhululwa. UMark Patton, osephume njengongqingili, ukhulume kaningi ngezinsolo zokuthi uChaskin umphathe kabi esikrinini nasesikhundleni ngenkathi uChaskin esola ukusebenza kukaPatton ngokwenza ifilimu "ibe yisitabane kakhulu" ukuthi ahlehle futhi athi ubeqonde konke lokhu ukufaka lezo zingqikithi zezitabane ezingxoxweni zakamuva.

Kunoma ikuphi, le filimu sekukhulunywe ngayo kulo lonke uhlu lwamafilimu "ama-gay horror" kule minyaka engamashumi amathathu edlule, futhi yize bekungeyona eyokuqala, impela yingane yezingqwele ye-homoeroticism kulolu hlobo.

I-1987-Abafana Abalahlekile

Angiqiniseki ukuthi kungani abantu bengakhulumi ngama-homoerotic undertones kule filimu njengoba bekwenza Impindiselo kaFreddy.

Akunandaba, kuningi okwenzekayo kwifilimu yakudala kaJoel Schumacher, futhi konke kuqala futhi kuphele ngobudlelwano phakathi komphikisi wefilimu, uMichael (Jason Patric), nomphikisi wakhe omunca igazi uDavid (Keifer Sutherland).

Bekuhlale kunokuthile okuvusa inkanuko ebudlelwaneni phakathi kwe-vampire nexhoba, futhi lokho kukhuphuka kuze kube yi-11 njengoba ukuthanda kukaDavid ukuguqula uMichael kukhula.

ISutherland akungabazeki ukuthi iyingozi, kepha futhi iyamangaza futhi ithande inkanuko, futhi isivumelwano sayo, ikakhulukazi, ama-vampire wesilisa nawo ngokufanayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abalingiswa besifazane kule filimu, yize bebahle impela, bangabesibili, bafeza indima yezisulu nogibe.

Noma kunjalo ibuyela kaninginingi kuMichael noDavid ochungechungeni lokugqolozela okuhlala nje isikhathi eside kakhulu, izikhathi lapho bema khona eduze kakhulu, futhi inkhulumomphendvulwano igcwele i-entender ephindwe kabili kangangokuba iphikisana ngokuphelele nesimo sothando se-hetero ifilimu.

Futhi masingakhohlwa lowo mdlali we-sax we-sexy!

Akungabazeki ukuthi okunye kwalokhu kuthonywe ngumqondisi wezitabane wefilimu, kepha umuntu kufanele azibuze ukuthi malini.

Ifilimu ibeka isibonelo esilingisiwe kodwa esingakaze senziwe ngokuphelele kumafilimu afana nalawa Abashiyiweyo.

1994: Ukuxoxisana neVampire

Ngikhuluma ngama-vampire…

Ngokususelwa kunoveli ethengiswa kakhulu kunazo zonke ngu-Anne Rice, Ukuxoxisana neVampire utshela indaba kaLouis (Brad Pitt), ivampire eneminyaka eyikhulu elandisa indaba yokuphila kwakhe okungenakufa nomlingani wakhe wesikhashana kanye no-sire, uLestat de Lioncourt (Tom Cruise) nentatheli engalindele (uChristian Slater).

Izethameli zeQueer zinamathele emsebenzini kaRice kusenesikhathi, futhi yize yena uqobo athi akazange ekuqaleni ahlose lokho kufundwa, nakanjani ukwamukele okulandelayo futhi wasinika izindaba eziningi esingazihlobanisa nazo eminyakeni edlule.

Kunzima ukuphika amakhemikhali ocansi phakathi kukaLestat noLouis lapho umqondisi uNeil Jordan ebeka kakhulu ekubonisweni, futhi kamuva lapho u-Armand (u-Antonio Banderas) engezwa kulo mxube, lokho kuxabana kuba yisiqhumane.

Ngaphandle kokungasebenzi kahle kobudlelwano kule filimu, isibopho sikaLouis noLestat sihlala njalo futhi babuyela njalo komunye nomunye kuwo wonke amanoveli okuthi, iminwe idlulile, azodlalwa ngokugcwele ekuguqukisweni kweTV okuzayo kweRice's IziKronike zeVampire.

2000: American Psycho

American Psycho bekuwuthando noma ukuzonda ukuphatha esikhathini sama-80s ukuthanda izinto ngokweqile. Kwakukhona nokuthile okuyisitabane ngokuphelele ngakho.

Ukubuka u-Adonis ofana noChristian Bale njengoPatrick Bateman egeza, ezivocavoca futhi ebabaza umzimba wakhe owenziwe ngobuciko, sonke lesi sikhathi bezwa ubukhazikhazi bobuhle bakhe nokunakekelwa kwakhe siqu kudonsela izethameli zobungqingili njengamabhu elangabini.

Iqiniso lokuthi uBateman wayehlanya njengesikhwama samakati akusizanga nakancane ukusicisha. Akekho umuntu ophelele, ngemuva kwakho konke.

Into okufanele uyiqaphele ngefilimu American Psycho kodwa lokhu. Izici eziningi ezinikezwe uBateman ziyefana ezithiwa ngabesilisa abayizitabane.

Okuyize, ikhabethe, uthando lukaWhitney Houston. Kuphelele lapho.

Bese ubheka isikhathi.

Ama-80s ayeyisikhathi esesabisayo emphakathini wezitabane ngokuqala kwe-HIV / AIDS kanye nokuntula ukuqonda ngokuphelele ukuthi lesi sifo saqala kanjani. Ukwehla kwenkululeko yama-70s asedlulile kwagijimisa umbulali, futhi ngomzimba wakhe ophelele kanye nemizwelo yokubulala, uBateman wayeyinhlanganisela ye-quintessential yabo bobabili.

Ukungezwani kwama-homoerotic kuhlangane nokuzonda kwabantu bobulili obufanayo ngaphakathi, nokho, endaweni ebalulekile lapho uBateman ephonswa ibhalansi nguLuis (Matt Ross), indoda abehlose ukuyibulala ngenxa yamakhadi ebhizinisi, lapho uLuis enza ucansi kuye.

Ngokuphazima kweso uBateman akasakwazi ukwenza okuthile, futhi ubaleka kunokuba abhekane namandla akhe kulesi simo.

Le yindoda elala nowesifazane ongenakubalwa futhi iqinisekisa ukubusa kwayo ngokubulala abanye babo ngaphandle kokushaya i-eyelash. Iqiniso lokuthi usizwa engenalusizo yindoda eyisitabane evumayo likhuluma lukhulu ngoBateman, kepha nangobudoda obunobuthi obugcwele emphakathini kuze kube namuhla.

2006: Isivumelwano

USteven Strait, uSebastian Stan, uTaylor Kitsch, uChace Crawford, noToby Hemingway… bonke… ngezingubo ezincane zokubhukuda ezincane. Wamukelekile.

Impendulo yesilisa ku Ubuqili, le filimu ayikaze ifinyelele ezingeni lozakwabo wesifazane kodwa igcwele ukungezwani kwama-homoerotic kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni ngabathakathi abasebasha abaningi abashisayo abaguqula imisipha yabo bese beqhathanisa ubukhulu bamandla abo.

Ngezindlela eziningi, ifilimu ikweleta isitayela sayo nefomethi eningi kwi-indie franchise kaDavid DeCoteau ebizwa Abazalwane.

Njengamafilimu kaDeCoteau, Isivumelwano babe neziza ezilula kunazo zonke ezigcwaliswe ngamadoda ashisayo acishe abe nqunu, kepha nokho, mhlawumbe ngoba ziyizinto eziphikisanayo zabesifazane abangenabungqabavu nabanukubezwa ngokocansi esijwayele ukunikezwa ngabo kumafilimu asabisayo, bobabili basungule inkolo yabo elandelayo futhi bobabili bebeyingxenye yamaqoqo ami enjabulo enecala selokhu akhululwa.

Kule filimu, izinsizwa ziyalwa njengoba zingena ekugcwalisekeni ngokuphelele kwamandla azo nemiphumela (ukuguga okusheshayo) kokulahlekelwa kwazo, futhi impi yokugcina ekugcineni yehlela kwenye insizwa icela enye insizwa imvume.

Yebo, kunokunye okungaphezu kwalokho, kepha uthola isithombe.

 

Ngakho-ke, sisuka kuphi lapha? Ngokusobala kukhona izilaleli zamafilimu ezinalezi zingqikithi, kepha akusona yini isikhathi sokuthi ifa liguquke?

Kungaba yizilo, izikhohlakali, noma izisulu ezingenakuzisiza, kunendawo yabalingiswa besilisa abayizitabane kulolu hlobo, futhi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi siqale isahluko esisha sabamele.
