UKelly McNeely: Ngokwalokho engikuqondayo, nina bantu beninezinsuku ezintathu zokuzijwayeza ukusebenza kwifilimu ngaphambi kokuqala. Yayinjani leyo nqubo futhi lokho kwasiza kanjani?

Ama-Munro Chambers: Kwakukhulu. Ngoba yifilimu esondelene kakhulu nabalingisi abancane kangako, ngicabanga ukuthi lezo zinsuku ezintathu zazibalulekile ukuze kukhishwe imininingwane yomlando wabalingiswa abathathu, kanye nekhemistri yethu yokuba ngabangane abathathu abakhulu esazana iminyaka , nakho konke ukuwasha kwabo okungcolile abakuthola kulesi sikebhe phakathi nalokhu kuhamba kwefilimu okungasile.

Udinga ngempela ukwazi ukuthi ungathandana kanjani, futhi bekumnandi kakhulu ukuthola ukuthi ngoChristopher noRob, ukwenza nje ukudlala nje futhi sikhulume ngezimo ezithile nokuthi sicabanga ukuthi omunye nomunye uzoba kanjani, futhi empeleni bona amaphutha womlingisi ngamunye.

KM: Ngabe uzizwa sengathi kufanele uhlale kuJona kancane, noma ngabe lokho bekungumlingiswa ohluke kakhulu kuwe? 

MC: Ngidlalile abalingisi abafana naye. Engikuthandile ngombhalo - ngaphandle kokunikeza okuningi kakhulu - umlingiswa ngamunye unobunikazi obusobala obonakalayo njengoba ubuka ifilimu, futhi bathanda ukuveza imibala yabo yangempela njengoba iqhubeka.

Ukuvezwa kokuqala kukaJona nguyena ohlakaniphile, obuthakathaka ngokomzimba. U-Emily unenhliziyo yonke nobubele bonke, nohlamvu lukaChristopher Grey, unolaka nentukuthelo, unamandla onke. Futhi njengoba ubona inqubekela phambili yefilimu, ubona ukuthi bangobani ngempela njengabantu. Njengoba uhlula konke lokhu okusobala abakufakayo noma izwe elikucabangayo. Kwakumnandi ngempela ukufunda. 

KM: Njengoba ubusasho, futhi, abalingiswa bahle ngempela futhi bajulile ngempela, ngabe ucabanga ukuthi omunye wabalingiswa ubenomusa ngempela "womuntu omubi"? Ingabe bonke babeyibo? Bangabalingiswa abayinkimbinkimbi kakhulu abenza izinto ezimbi, akunjalo?

MC: Ngicabanga ukuthi bonke bathatha ithuba labo, Ngicabanga ukuthi kukhombisa isimo somuntu ukuthi noma ngubani uyakwazi ukwenza noma yini, futhi akunandaba ukuthi ungubani, futhi lokho yilokho abakubhekisa kubo bonke laba balingisi ukuthi kuyo yonke ifilimu ungamaka lo muntu njengo umkhohlisi usuka phezulu phezulu, bese kuthi phakathi nendawo, njengokuthi “kungaba lo muntu”, bese kuthi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi “mhlawumbe mhlawumbe NGUMUNTU lo!”.

Kuyathakazelisa kakhulu ukuthi uRob wakumisa kanjani, uRob noMike Peterson, ukuthi bakusetha kanjani. Futhi yilokho okwenze kwaba mnandi kithina. Sonke besishintshana ngokudlala izinhlobo eziningi zalezi zinhlamvu endabeni ehlukile - bebengekho kwifilimu ehlukile. Nokuthi bayidubule kanjani, kuzwakala sengathi izinhlobo cishe ezine noma ezinhlanu ezihlukene zifakwe kufilimu eyodwa. Futhi lokho kwenze kwaba mnandi ngempela kithi ukuthi sidlale futhi sibe nobuciko ngayo yonke iminyaka yethu yesipiliyoni sizama ukuguqula leyo misipha, okwakuyinjabulo enjalo.

KM: Ngiyazi ukuthi uthwebule izinto zangaphakathi ngokulandelana, kuvele kuphume kancane njengokudlala esiteji, akunjalo?

MC: Kulungile impela. Kungakho lezi zinsuku ezintathu zazibaluleke kakhulu ngoba ziqhubeka nje. Ngicabanga ukuthi uRob ukukhombe ngempela ukuthi kube luhlobo oluthile Seinfeld episode ngoba bonke abalingiswa ku- Seinfeld abakaze babe ngabantu abalunge ngempela, kepha ngandlela thile bakwenza ukuthi kusebenze ebunganeni babo futhi kuvele kuqhume njalo kanye nakancane. Kepha empeleni kudlalwa kancane esiteji, futhi ungakudlala ngaleyo ndlela, ikakhulukazi ngoba kuyisethingi esondelene kakhulu. 

KM: Kungaba okuthokozisayo ukubona esiteji, ngicabanga. Kungaba yinto eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu ukuyenza. Ngiyazi ukuthi uqophe eCalgary ebusika. Njengomuntu waseCanada esikanye naye, besinjani isimo sezulu esibi lapho uzama ukushisa?

MC: Bekulungile. Sengike ngayiqopha e-Alberta phambilini, ngenza iKnuckleball e-Edmonton, ngakho-ke lokho kwaba ngesinye sezipiliyoni zami zokuqala lapho. Nangempela saba nenhlanhla yokuthi bekungekubi kangako. Kepha kwakukuhle impela, sathola isibindi salowo mkhuhlane ndawonye.

UChris uvela eNew York, kanti u-Emily uhlala e-LA kodwa uvela eMinnesota. Ngakho sonke besazi ukuthi amakhaza ayenjani. Bekufanele sidlale sengathi besiseFlorida noma kwenye indawo enelanga size sifike eBelize. Kepha bekungekubi. Ngiyakuthanda lokho - ukusebenza lapha eCanada - yize kule filimu asitholanga ukukhombisa ubuhle bendawo obumangalisayo, uyazi, izindawo ezilapha. Kepha ngiyakuthanda ukuqopha eCanada.

KM: Ngiyathanda ukuthi kuningi okwenzekayo eCanada, ukuhlakanipha kwefilimu. Kuyajabulisa ukuthi bandisa imboni ngempela. Kuningi okwenzekayo lapha manje, okuyinto enhle.

MC: Kukhulu kakhulu! Kungcono kakhulu. Kuhle!

KM: Lapho uqopha izinto zangaphakathi - futhi, uqopha ngokulandelana - walusiza kanjani lolo hlobo ngokuqhubeka kokuthi konke kuhamba kanjani - ngaphandle kokusho okuningi? 

MC: Kwenza kube lula. Unereferensi yesimo somoya nokuzizwa komlingiswa ngamunye, lapho besinokuphakama nokwehla, nezinto ezimbalwa nje zobuchwepheshe ezidutshulwa zihlakaniphe futhi zinengqikimba njengoba siqhubeka. Futhi yilokho okwakukuhle ngempela lapho sikwenza, uyazi, ingxenye yamahlaya, ingxenye eyethusayo, ingxenye yomdlalo, okujabulisayo okuyingxenye, bekufanele sikhethe izibhakela zethu lapho.

Kuhle ngaso sonke isikhathi lapho ufika ukwenza isibhamu ngokulandelana ngoba awusoze wafika! Kepha njengoba ushilo, uRob wayefuna ngempela ukuqinisekisa ukuthi kwenzeka ngaleyo ndlela, ukuthi sinomqondo wokuthi kulungile, sizoba nalokhu ngokulandelana kwezikhathi ngangokunokwenzeka. Uma kwenzeka uphuthelwa okuthile uma uya ekugcineni kwefilimu bese izinto zingenzi mqondo ekuqaleni. 

KM: Lezo zingqikithi othinta kuzo, ngobungani nokukhaphela, uhlobo lwawo wonke umuntu lududulelwe kumkhawulo wawo. Kungani nicabanga ukuthi njengabantu sizithanda kangaka izindaba zalesi simnyama, uhlangothi olonakele lwesintu?

MC: Kuxoxiswane ngakho kakhulu eminyakeni edlule, uyazi, okuhle nokubi. Kukhona abantu abalungile nababi, futhi njengokuthi "Angisoze ngakwenza lokhu, angisoze ngakwenza lokho, ngiyamthanda lo muntu ukufa, angisoze ngasho lutho olubi ngabo!". Futhi Ngicabanga ukuthi kukhombisa nje isimo somuntu esimweni saso esiluhlaza.

Ihaba impela, futhi liphendulwe ifilimu, kepha ilungile - engqondweni yami - indlela ephelele yokuvula abangani bakho abakhulu endaweni evalekile futhi ukhiphe ilondolo lakho elingcolile. Yinguqulo enehaba yalokho ongakwenza kubo. Ngicabanga ukuthi kuhle kakhulu ukubona lokho, kucishe kube sengathi kukhona umuntu okwazi noma yini.

Ngisho nabantu ababonakala bekhohlakele noma ababonakala njengomuntu omnyama noma umuntu omubi noma umuntu omubi, akubona labo ababonakala. Ngakho-ke umuntu angabukeka emsulwa neqhawe, kepha bangase babe nokuhlanza okungcolile ngemuva kwabo okungalungile impela, kepha kukhona nabantu ukuthi ebusweni babonakala beyindlela eyodwa kodwa bengeyona, futhi bayinhliziyo yabo umugqa wendaba wakhe. Kukhombisa zombili izinhlangothi, yomibili imibala yesimo somuntu engiyicabangayo.

KM: Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kukhona okuthile ngaphakathi kwalaba balingisi esingakwazi ukukwazi ukukwazi ukukwazi ukukwazi. Kunezici, kunezici, ezinjengokuthi “awu mhlawumbe ngike ngacabanga lokhu” noma “Ngike ngakwenza lokho esikhathini esithile”

MC: Yebo ngithemba kanjalo. Kukhona izithandani onethemba lokuthi awazi! Kukhona izithandani ezinjengokuthi “kahle, angifuni ukuba ukuthi munye ”. Kepha ngicabanga ukuthi ungaba nehaba kakhulu, kepha ezingeni elingaphezulu kuyicebo elincane esilidlalayo likaHoudini. Engicabanga ukuthi kuhle.

KM: Lapho uqala ukuthola umbhalo, yini eyakuletha kuphrojekthi noma yakudonsela ukunaka kwakho futhi yakwenza uhambe ngempela, njengokuthi, "oh ngifuna ukwenza lokhu"?

MC: Kwaba lapho uMike Peterson engithumela khona umbhalo wathi "bheka uJona". Futhi lapho ngibheka uJonah ngangithi "yyyeah!". Ngicabanga ukuthi ungumlingiswa oyinkimbinkimbi kangako. Ngizizwa ngathi irekhodi eliphukile, kepha, kuyiqiniso, bengiyithanda switch yakhe.

Zonke izinhlamvu zinokushintsha, kepha ngiyithandile indlela abukeka ngayo njengolu hlobo olubuthakathaka kakhulu, olunobuhlakani bezimvu ezimnyama zomlingiswa wakhe womndeni, umfana onomqondo wokuzama nje ukugcina ukuthula isikhathi esiningi. Futhi njengoba indaba iqhubeka, uyabona ngempela ukuthi kukhona okunye okusamile ngaphakathi kubo, futhi une- okuningi yezinto eziqhubekayo engingazithola. 

KM: Izethameli, yini onethemba lokuthi abantu bazoyithola ku-movie noma abahamba nayo?

MC: Well Ngiyethemba bathukile! Eyodwa. Ngiyethemba bayakujabulela ukugibela. Ihlukile futhi ngicabanga ukuthi leyo yinto enhle kakhulu, enhle kakhulu. Ikakhulukazi ekwenzeni ifilimu namuhla.

Awusafuni ukwenza noma yini yokusika amakhukhi. Kukhona iresiphi yokusika ikhukhi owaziyo ukuthi izosebenza futhi uyibeka lapho futhi iqonde kakhulu. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi iKuyathakazelisa lapho uthola iskripthi esihluke kakhulu, izinhlamvu ezihlukile, bese wenza uhlobo lwezinhlelo bese uthi “kulungile ake sibone ukuthi lokhu kuyasebenza yini”. Masivivinye lonke ithalente lethu kanye neminyaka yethu yolwazi nolwazi ukuze sibone ukuthi yini esingayakha.

Sisebenze kanzima kulokhu, ngicabanga ukuthi uRob wenze umsebenzi omuhle ngokuqopha, futhi u-Emily uyamangalisa kulokhu, kanjalo noChristopher Grey. Uyazi-ke, ngiyethemba ukuthi bayakujabulela nje ukugibela futhi bacosha lokhu esikubeka phansi.
