Ukugqama: UCarol Kane ku Umbulali wasehhovisi

Umbulali wasehhovisi kubonakale njengohlobo lwefilimu obekumele imenyezelwe njengehlelo lakudala ngesikhathi ikhishwa ngo-1997. Impela inazo zonke izithako. Kukhona abalingisi abadumile abahambisana noMolly Ringwald noJeanne Tripplehorn, umqondisi wefilimu ubeyiciko. Cindy Sherman eqala ukuvela njengomqondisi, futhi le ndaba ibonakale iyinhlekisa ngepolitiki yasehhovisi ngaphansi kwefilimu ekhaliphile (eyayichuma ngaleso sikhathi ngenxa yempumelelo yamafilimu afana ne Scream). 

Ngeshwa, ngenkathi Umbulali wasehhovisi ingase ibe nezithako eziningi zekhwalithi, ayizange ibhakwe isikhathi eside ngokwanele ukwanelisa izethameli eziningi ngaleso sikhathi futhi abantu babengenandaba nayo noma abazange bazihluphe ngisho ukuyinikeza ithuba. Ingabe bekungabapheki abaningi kakhulu ekhishini? Ukuphazanyiswa kwestudiyo ngabakhiqizi abadume kabi kwe-Dimension Films? Ukukhishwa kwetiyetha okucishe kube khona okushiye abantu abaningi behlangabezana nakho okokuqala odongeni olusha lokukhishwa esitolo sabo samavidiyo sasendaweni? Akekho ongazi ngokuqinisekile njengoba wonke umuntu obambe iqhaza ekukhiqizeni kubonakala sengathi wenze isifungo sokuthula ngemuva kokwenza sengathi bonke babebandakanyeke ohlotsheni oluthile. Ngiyazi Ongakwenza Ngehlobo Eledlule-ukumboza isitayela.

Ngenkathi izinto zokubhuqa kanye ne-slasher kwesinye isikhathi ziba namakhanda, Umbulali wasehhovisi inikela ngezinto ezingaphezu kwenele ezihehayo ukujabulisa abalandeli abathusayo nabamnyama ngokufanayo. Isici esisodwa sefilimu esibamba kuyo yonke i-whiplash ye-tonal Carol Kane odlala umlingiswa oyinhloko wefilimu kanye nesikhohlakali esikhulu, u-Dorine Douglas. U-Kane kuphela okwazi ukuhlaba umxhwele ukusuka esigcawini kuye kwesinye njengoba ifilimu ihamba ngefilimu encishanayo, ukuhlekisa kwebhizinisi, ne-melodrama. 

U-Kane's Dorine, ekuqaleni, uwuhlobo lomlingiswa odangele u-Carrie White-esque ofuna ukumzwisa umqondo othile, ukugona, noma kokubili. Ungumuntu ophushayo olandela imiyalo futhi ubonakala encipha njalo ngomzuzu lapho ephoqeleka ukuthi axhumane nomunye umuntu. Futhi ukudinga kakhulu ukushintshwa ngamashiya akhe afakwe ipencile, amajezi aluhlaza, kanye nezitayela zezinwele ezixakile (ngempela, into engekho kakhulu yile filimu i-makeover montage). Ungumuntu osenesikhathi eside esebenza enkampanini futhi nguyena abantu abaya kuye uma benenkinga yokuhlola amaphutha. Unekhono elimangalisayo kulokho akwenzayo futhi lo msebenzi ubonakala uyikho konke anakho empilweni yakhe ngaphandle komama ongungqongqoshe ohlala ngesihlalo esinamasondo onobudlelwano obungebuhle kodwa obuncike kuye. 

Akumangazi ukuthi uDorine ulahlekelwa yikho kancane lapho ethola ukuthi usephenduke isisulu sokwehliswa kwezinkampani futhi manje kuzodingeka asebenze ekhaya. KuDorine, ukuhlala ekhaya usuku lonke nonina emthuka yisiphetho esibi ngempela kunokufa. 

Lapho eshaya ugesi ngephutha omunye asebenza naye owayecasukile ngesikhathi esebenza sekwephuzile ehhovisi, unquma ukungawabizi amaphoyisa. Esikhundleni salokho, uhambisa umzimba wakhe emuva endlini yakhe engaphansi futhi amgcine lapho njengomngane omusha. Kungakabiphi, ukhipha noma ubani omunye omcasulayo noma osabisa ngokuchitha izimfihlo zakhe futhi uqala ukudala uchungechunge olushaqisayo lwezidumbu egumbini lakhe elingaphansi.

Ngokukhumbula okwenzeka emuva nangezinye zezinkumbulo zika-Dorine kuNora, isisebenzi esinecala esidlalwa uJeanne Tripplehorn, sithola ukuthi ubuntwana bukaDorine babusekude nokuphelela. Umama wakhe akazange azikholelwe izindaba zakhe mayelana nokuhlukunyezwa kukayise futhi uDorine ngokwakhe wadala ingozi yemoto eyabulala uyise futhi yakhubaza umama wakhe impilo yakhe yonke. Lokho kuyizinto ezinzima kakhulu futhi awukwazi ukuzibamba kodwa uzwela u-Dorine kancane njengoba enqamula ozakwabo kwesokunxele nakwesokudla.

Nakuba abanye abantu abasebenza nabo kungenzeka ukuthi baye bafika, izisulu eziningi ngemva kwefilimu emaphakathi azibonakali zikhuthazwa yinoma yini enye ngaphandle kokunxanela igazi kanye nesidingo sokwanelisa izimfuno zefilimu esabekayo. Ipheya elimsulwa le-Girl Scouts kanye nomfana weposi ophansi emsebenzini bagcina sebethole i-blade ka-Dorine futhi, kuyilapho u-Kane enza konke angakwenza nakwenza kubukeke kunamandla njengohlobo lukaMichael Myers oguquguqukayo ngokobulili, kuthuntubeza uzwelo lwethu umlingiswa futhi kumenza abe ngumfazi wenothi elilodwa. Ngokwekhredithi ka-Kane, uze enze lesi sigaba sefilimu sisebenze. Akekho ongadlala uhlanya njenga Carol Kane. 

Isigcawu sika-Kane esihle nesihlasimulisa kakhulu njengoba u-Dorine efika kuvuthondaba olubi lwefilimu lapho ekhuphukela khona ukuze ahlole umama wakhe futhi amthole eshonile ngenxa yezizathu zemvelo. Ukumemeza okudabukisayo u-Kane akukhiphayo kuhle kakhulu futhi akukhululekile ukukulalela nokuthi ungalindelani endodakazini esosizini. Ngendlela ayenyanyeka ngayo umama, uyabona ukuthi uDorine uyamthanda futhi kufana nokuthi kufe iqatha emlonyeni. Njengoba eqala ukwethuka, u-Kane uyahlanya futhi ngokushesha uyaphika ecula ethi “Anginandaba” futhi, ngesinye isikhathi, aze akuhlebe ngendlela esabekayo. Akuphelanga sikhathi esingakanani, isigameko sithatha ijika elibukhali futhi utshela unina ukuthi unethemba lokuthi uzosha esihogweni noyise. Impela yenza isigcawu esikhumbulekayo. 

Ngemuva kokuthi isidumbu sikanina sithathwe abezimo eziphuthumayo, uDorine ukhululiwe futhi ukhululekile ukuphila impilo yakhe futhi unquma ukunakekela konke okuxekethile ngokushisa indlu nokucekela phansi bonke ubufakazi babantu abaningi ababulele.

Ifilimu iphetha ngokuthi u-Dorine ahambe ngendlela entsha ecashile (hey, ekugcineni uthole lokho kushintshwa!), njengoba izwi lakhe lisitshela ukuthi uthuthela edolobheni elisha futhi angase avele ehhovisi lakho maduze. Kuyifilimu eshisa izikhotha “elungele yena” ephethayo engahambisani nefilimu yonke, kodwa njengenjwayelo, u-Kane uyayithengisa futhi akushiye ufuna okwengeziwe. Ngokwami, anginandaba Umbulali wasehhovisi i-franchise lapho u-Dorine ehamba ehhovisi ngehhovisi, exosha ozakwabo abacasulayo ngezindlela ezingavamile nezidala.

Ngezinye izikhathi, uthola umuzwa wokuthi kwakukhona okusalungiswa okuhlukene okuthathu Umbulali wasehhovisi umbhalo ojikelezayo futhi wonke umuntu wathola onethoni noma uhlobo oluhlukile, kodwa u-Kane kuphela owanikezwa bobathathu futhi okwaziyo ukugxuma iphimbo ukuya kwelinye ngobuchule obumangalisayo. Angenza noma yini efunwa yifilimu kuye - asabe, aphatheke kabuhlungu, adlale ngothando, abe namahloni, ahlekisayo futhi athandeke. Kuyacaca ukuthi ngabe uphumelele ukube ifilimu incike kakhulu ekwesabeni nasekubhuqeni, ngoba uyakuqonda ukuthi lo wesifazane ungubani ngokuphelele. U-Kane ubaluleke kakhulu ukubukela ifilimu, kodwa ifilimu ngokwayo, exakile ngendlela eyinqaba ngayo, sekunesikhathi eside ilindelwe ukuthi ihlolwe kabusha abalandeli bamahlaya amnyama ngokufanayo.
