Ngo-1990, ukuguqulwa kukaNicolas Roeg kukaRoald Dahl's Abathakathi aqhume esikrinini esikhulu, esabisa izingane futhi ajabulise abazali bazo. Kwakuyimpumelelo enkulu kwezentengiselwano yokuqala umqondisi ayithola esikhathini sakhe sempilo (yize izinombolo zehhovisi lazo zazingeyona inkanyezi nganoma iyiphi indlela), futhi njengoba nathi khala ngokudlula kwakhe namuhla, Bengicabanga ukuthi kuzoba mnandi ukubuka ngemuva kwale filimu enhle kangaka.

Ngakho-ke, ake sibheke izinto ezinhlanu okungenzeka ungazi ngazo Abathakathi!

#1 Abathakathi bekuyifilimu yokugcina eyenziwe yiLorimar Productions.

ILorimar Productions yasungulwa ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yama-1960, futhi yayikhiqize futhi / noma yasabalalisa amafilimu amaningi ahluke ngokuphelele eminyakeni engamashumi amabili ikhona. Isitudiyo besingemuva Ukuhamba ngesikebhe, Isikhulu noMnumzane, Futhi I-Postman ihlale ikhala kabili eceleni kochungechunge lwe-TV nochungechunge oluncane njenge I-IT kaStephen King futhi Amaphupho amabi kaFreddy.

Ifilimu yaqedwa ngo-1989 futhi yabekelwa ukusatshalaliswa lapho kuhlakazwa isigaba semidlalo yenkampani. Amalungelo okusabalalisa athengiselwe iWarner Bros. kodwa le filimu yahlala eshalofini isikhathi esingangonyaka ngaphambi kokuthi ikhishwe ekugcineni kumathiyetha.

# 2 U-Anjelica Huston wayengeyena umuntu wokuqala ukukhetha ukuthatha indima yoMthakathi Ophezulu.

Kunzima ukukholwa ukuthi, kunabaningi abalingisi ababhekelwa iqhaza lomlingisi okhohlisayo weGrand High Witch kule filimu.

Empeleni, eminyakeni edlule kunamahemuhemu okuthi kunabalingisi abaningi ababebhekwa njengendima kusukela ngesikhathi sokubhala nangenqubo yokusakaza. Ukuthi la mahemuhemu ayesuselwe eqinisweni noma i-anecdotal nje akubonakali kunendaba kangako, kepha imibiko ibophele uVanessa Regrave, u-Eartha Kitt, uSusan Sarandon, uLiza Minnelli, uFaye Dunaway, uJodie Foster, kanye noCher ngenqubo yokukhipha.

Noma yimuphi omunye walaba badlali akungabazeki ukuthi uyibulele le ndima, kepha lesi ngesinye sezimo lapho kufanele ubuze ukuthi, "Ngabe babekwenza kangcono kuno-Anjelica?"

# 3 Le kwakuyifilimu yokugcina uJim Henson uqobo ayengamele futhi wasebenza kuyo ngqo.

Umdlalisi odume ngopopayi nomdali wezidalwa, uJim Henson waklama amasethi amathathu ahlukene onodoli begundane Abathakathi. Ezincane kunazo zonke empeleni zazilingana negundane nezintambo zokulawula okwakuthiwa zizacile izinwele futhi enkulu kunazo zonke yangena cishe ngamamitha amathathu ubude lapho uRoeg ayisebenzisela ukuqopha okusondele kakhulu kule filimu.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, nguHenson owakholisa uRoald Dahl ukuthi angagxeki lo msebenzi futhi asuse igama lakhe kuwo ngenkathi ebhalela umbhali incwadi ngemuva kokuzwa ukungenami kwakhe.

Ngokudabukisayo, uHenson ushone ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ifilimu iqale ukubonakala e-UK isuselwa ku-streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. Wayeneminyaka engu-53 ubudala. Kwenzeka okungaqondakali ukuthi uDahl, naye uqobo, wadlula emhlabeni ngawo lowo nyaka.

# 4 Akuzange kuvezwe ukuthi kungani abathakathi befuna ukuqeda umhlaba wezingane.

Njengokudideka njengoba kungazwakala, futhi kuyenzeka uma ufana nami futhi ubusenakho ekhanda lakho ukuthi isizathu sichazwe kwifilimu, incwadi noma ifilimu ayichazanga kahle ukuthi kungani abathakathi bezonda izingane kangaka.

Ngabe bekuyivenda yokuphila konke? Ingabe babecabanga nje ukuthi bangama-brats? Ngabe bekuwumdlalo omude wokuqinisekisa ukuthi uhlanga lwesintu luyasuswa?

Kwazi bani?

Mhlawumbe uRoald Dahl wayazi, kepha akazange akuchaze embhalweni wokuqala, futhi uNicolas Roeg, ethatha umbono wakhe kule noveli, akasitholanga isizathu esicacile.

# 5 Noma ifilimu imnyama kanjani, le ncwadi ibimnyama kakhulu.

 

Njengoba sibonile ngezindaba nezincwadi zezingane eziningi eziguqulelwe isikrini esikhulu, iqembu lokukhiqiza lanciphisa ubumnyama ngempela ngesikhathi senqubo yokuzivumelanisa.

Ngokungafani nefilimu, ngokwesibonelo, uLuka (ongakaze abe negama encwadini) akazange abuyiselwe esimweni sakhe somuntu futhi wabona kuze kube sekugcineni ukuthi lokhu kusho ukuthi impilo yakhe isinqanyulwe kanzima. Amagundane aphila iminyaka embalwa kuphela ngaphansi kwezimo ezinhle kakhulu, ngemuva kwakho konke, futhi kufanele avumelane nalelo qiniso.

Kushiwo encwadini ukuthi uBruno aka omunye umfana omncane waphenduka igundane, wacwiliswa ebhakedeni lamanzi ngumlondolozi ngokugcizelela kukayise okuhambisana nohlelo lukaGrand High Witch lokuthi zonke izingane zibulawe ngothisha abangaqaphile, onogada, nabazali lapho sebephenduke amagundane.

Iqiniso lebhonasi!

URoald Dahl, njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili wacasulwa kakhulu yilokhu kulungiswa. Eqinisweni, kwamdina lokho kwathiwa washiya imiyalo encwadini yakhe yefa eyabeka izindinganiso eziphakeme kakhulu kunoma ngubani ngokuzayo ongafuna ukuvumelanisa umsebenzi wakhe nefilimu!
