Ifilimu yokuqala yefilimu kaKate Dolan Awuyena Umama Wami kuwukuthatha okuphoqayo kwenganekwane eshintshashintshayo. Ifilimu ishintsha ukugxila okuvamile kwenganekwane isuke kumzali odidekile iye enganeni ethintekayo, esaba umama wayo ohlale eshintsha kukhula usuku nosuku. Inikwe amandla amaculo aqinile avela kwabalingisi abanethalente nezithombe ezigqamile ezipenda isithombe esifiphele nesihlasimulisayo, ifilimu igqame njengenye yezintandokazi zami zangowezi-2021 ze-Toronto International Film Festival (funda isibuyekezo sami esigcwele lapha).

Ngibe nethuba lokuhlala phansi no-Dolan ukuze sixoxe ngefilimu yakhe kanye nomlando wayo.  

UKelly McNeely: Amafilimu afana Umgodi Phansi futhi IHallow futhi ifaka nenganekwane eguqukayo yezinganekwane zase-Ireland, kodwa gxila kakhulu ekutheni ingane ishintshe. Ngikuthanda ngempela lokho Awuyena Umama Wami ine-engeli yomzali eyingozi, kunokuba umlingiswa oyinhloko. Ungakhuluma kancane ngaleso sinqumo, nokuthi lowo mbono uvelaphi? 

Kate Dolan: Yebo, nakanjani. Ngicabanga ukuthi, njengoba wazi, insumansumane eshintshashintshayo yendabuko yase-Ireland ukuthi izindaba ozizwayo kakhulu ukuthi ingane ishintshaniswa ngenye into. Futhi lokho kuwuhlobo lwento njalo. Futhi kusezinganekwaneni zaseScandinavia futhi, banama-changeling futhi ngokuvamile izingane. Kodwa empeleni kunezindaba eziningi empilweni yangempela - emlandweni wase-Ireland - zabantu abezwa lezi zindaba mayelana nabashintshi kanye namafairies futhi bakholelwa ukuthi amalungu omndeni wabo ayengenye into. 

Ngakho empeleni kwakukhona ama-akhawunti amaningi abantu abadala ababekholelwa ukuthi abayeni babo, abafazi, abafowabo, odadewabo, ababengabantu abadala bashintshwa nge-doppelgänger - i-changeling noma enye into, njengenganekwane. Futhi ikakhulukazi, kunendaba eyodwa yowesifazane okuthiwa uBridget Clary ngo-1895 eyadonsa amehlo ami ngempela, emayelana nalo wesifazane okwathi - ngokusobala manje bacabanga ukuthi usanda kuhlaselwa umkhuhlane - kodwa umyeni wakhe wacabanga ukuthi wayeshintsha futhi wamshisa ngaphakathi. umlilo endlini yabo. Wabulawa, waboshwa. Kodwa wathi wayekholelwa ukuthi uyashintsha, okwavele kwangithakazelisa ngempela ngoba kwakuwumqondo ongaqondakali wokuthi, ingabe wayekucabanga lokho ngempela? Noma ngabe yini enye eyenzeka lapho? 

Futhi nje uhlobo lwalokho kungaqondakali kokuthi yini engokoqobo nokuthi yini engekho ngempela, nokungaziwa kwakho konke. Ngakho lokho kuvele kwangithakasela ngempela. Ngakho-ke yebo, kwakuyinto engangingakaze ngiyibone ngaphambili, futhi ngangifuna ukuxoxa indaba mayelana nesifo sengqondo nomndeni, kanye nomuntu osekhulile emndenini lapho lokho kwenzeka khona. Futhi lolo hlobo lwezinganekwane lwavele lwazizwa luyindlela efanele yokuxoxa leyo ndaba. Futhi ngenxa yokuthi kwakukhona lokhu kufana nesifo sengqondo kanye nenganekwane futhi abantu abakholelwa izihlobo zabo okungenzeka ukuthi zazigula ngengqondo babengabashintshi, futhi lolo hlobo lwento. Ngakho-ke kuvele kuzwakale njengohlobo lwendlela efanele yokuxoxa indaba.

UKelly McNeely: Ngithanda ngempela futhi, ngokudangala kuka-Angela, futhi kukhona uhlobo lobudlelwane phakathi kuka-Char no-Angela, lowo muzwa wesibopho nomthwalo wemfanelo oza ebudlelwaneni bomzali nengane. Futhi kuyathakazelisa ukuthi lokho kungukushintshashintsha phakathi kuka-Char no-Angela, lapho kulele khona umsebenzi nokuzibophezela. Ungakwazi ukukhuluma kancane ngalokho futhi? 

Kate Dolan: Yebo, impela, ngicabanga ukuthi ebesifuna ukukwenza kwakuwukuxoxa indaba ngokuhlukumezeka nomndeni nokuthi lolo hlobo lubuyela kanjani emndenini. Izehlakalo ezenzeke esikhathini esidlule zihlala zifana nokubuya zizokuhlupha. Futhi ikakhulukazi njengesizukulwane esizayo, uhlobo lwesikhathi lapho u-Char esebudaleni lapho eqala khona ukuthola izinto ngomndeni wakhe. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi sonke sifinyelele kuleyo minyaka lapho uyeke khona ukuba yingane, futhi awuyena umuntu omdala, kodwa unjalo, unikezwa umthwalo wemfanelo omningi ngokwemibandela yomthwalo wemfanelo ngokomzwelo, futhi ezinye izinhlobo zomthwalo wemfanelo wasekhaya, lolo hlobo lwezinto. 

Ngakho-ke ukuzama ukuthwebula isikhashana kulokho - ikakhulukazi njengoba othile ekhula - lapho unomzali ogula ngengqondo noma ngokomzimba, futhi uvele waba umnakekeli, ngoba akekho omunye ongamenzela lokho. Nesisindo salowo mthwalo kanye nalolo hlobo lomthwalo wemfanelo, nokuthi lokho kungase kwesabe kanjani futhi kuhlukaniswe kanjani. Ngakho-ke leyo bekuyinto ebesivele sifuna ukuyithwebula.

Bese kuthi-ke yebo, ngicabanga ukuthi kukhona uhlobo lokudlulisa induku - kusuka kugogo kuya ku-Char - phakathi nefilimu lapho-ke ekugcineni u-Char ecishe abe umvikeli womndeni. Unesibopho sokuba lapho ngokuzayo lapho kwenzeka okuthile okwesabekayo, uyazi ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthini? Kwaba kakhulu ngalokho futhi nje uhlobo lokuzama ukubamba lokho.

UKelly McNeely: Ngiqaphele ukuthi kunetimu eqhubekayo yamahhashi emfanekisweni, ingabe sikhona isizathu esithile salokho?

Kate Dolan: Ngokwabantu base-Irish, sinalo omunye umhlaba ogcwele abantu Awu, okuyizinto ezinjengama-faeries - ngokufuna igama elingcono - kodwa akufani nokuthi zifana nohlobo lwezinganekwane lukaTinkerbell. Kunzima ukusebenzisa igama elithi fairies ukuze usondeze futhi uwathwebule, ngoba empeleni kunenqwaba yezigaba ezahlukene zawo. I-Banshee ngokobuchwepheshe iyingxenye Awu sí kanjalo. Ngakho-ke uyinganekwane yalowo mjaho wezinganekwane, bese kuba khona isidalwa esisodwa - uhlobo lomlingiswa kuleyo nganekwane - ebizwa ngokuthi i-Puca, ngokuvamile ebonakala njengehhashi elimnyama elizowela indlela yakho lapho uya ekhaya, noma wena. 'uzama ukufika ekhaya, futhi kufana nebika elibi, ngokuyisisekelo. Uma uyivumela ukuthi ikulalise futhi ikudonsele phakathi, izokungenisa komunye umhlaba futhi ikususe ikususe emhlabeni ohlala kuwo manje. Ingabonakalisa njengehhashi, noma unogwaja omnyama, noma uhlobo lwayo lokubonakaliswa, olungachazwanga kakhulu, kodwa luhloselwe ukwesabisa kakhulu. 

Ngakho-ke besifuna ukukufaka lokho, kodwa futhi ifilimu ngokusobala iyifilimu yaseDublin, njengeNorth Dublin, lapho ngisuka khona. Futhi noma kuseduze nedolobha, kunezindawo eziningi zezindlu lapho abantu bezoba namahhashi aboshwe endaweni eluhlaza. Futhi ngakho-ke kwakuyingxenye yezwe laseDublin futhi, kodwa kwakuzwakala njengenganekwane yokopha kwansuku zonke. 

UKelly McNeely: Ngokusobala kunentshisekelo kunganekwane kanye nenkolelo-ze, ingabe leyo yinto obuhlala inentshisekelo kuyo, noma lokho kwavela ngokwenza ucwaningo lwale filimu? 

Kate Dolan: O, yebo, bengilokhu nginentshisekelo ngempela kukho. Uyazi, ngicabanga ukuthi - njengomuntu wase-Ireland - ujwayele ukuxoxa izindaba kusukela useyingane. Ngakho-ke unolwazi olubanzi lwezinganekwane ezihlukahlukene kanye nezinganekwane kanye nomunye umhlaba nazo zonke lezo zinhlobo zabalingisi ezakhiwe kusukela esemncane. Ngakho uhlale wazi, futhi ngokuvamile utshelwa kuwe sengathi kuyiqiniso. Ugogo wami wayenendandatho engadini yakhe engemuva - okungamakhowe eringini, okwenzeka nje ngokwemvelo - futhi mina nomzala wami sasiwakha ngolunye usuku, futhi wayengathi “Ngeke ukwenze lokho! Indandatho yemali leyo, amafaeries azokuza ngemuva kwakho uma wenza lokho.” Futhi lokho kufana nesango lokungena emhlabeni wabo, futhi konke kutshelwa kuwe njengokungathi kungokoqobo. Kwathi lapho ngikhula, ngaba sengathi, ngicwaninge kakhulu futhi ngafunda ngomthelela womhlaba wangempela wenganekwane, nokufunda izindaba ezifana nalokho abantu ababekukholelwa nokuthi kungani babecabanga kanjalo, kanye nobuqaba - ubuqaba bangempela - amasiko kanye nemikhuba. amasiko ayecishe afane nenkolo ngaleso sikhathi, ngicabanga. Futhi konke lokho kwakuthakazelisa ngempela. Ngakho-ke ifilimu yangivumela ukuba ngiyihlole ngokujulile kunalokho enganginakho, kodwa ngangihlale nginjengokuhamba phambili engqondweni yami.

UKelly McNeely: Futhi ingabe zikhona ezinye izindaba zendabuko ongathanda ukuzifunda kancane ukuze uthole ifilimu yesikhathi esizayo? 

Kate Dolan: Yebo, ngisho, baningi kakhulu. I-Banshee ingumlingiswa oyisithonjana kakhulu. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi akayena umuntu omubi ngempela, ngicabanga ukuthi awukwazi ngempela ukumenza umelane naye ngoba uyisibikezelo sokufa. Ngakho-ke uzwa nje ememeza futhi lokho kusho ukuthi kukhona ozokufa ngalobo busuku. Futhi-ke yebo, ngingathanda ukubhekana ne-Banshee ngesinye isikhathi, kodwa kunzima ukuqhekeka. Kodwa kukhona futhi ucingo lwenganekwane olubizwa ngokuthi Izingane zika Lir, ngokuyisisekelo imayelana nale nkosi eshada nendlovukazi entsha, futhi engazithandi izingane zayo. Futhi uwaphendula abe amadada, futhi avaleleke njengamadada echibini amakhulu eminyaka. Inkosi idangele futhi idabukile, futhi ekugcineni, bayabuyiselwa emuva, kodwa kuwuhlobo lwenganekwane eyinqaba ngempela nengavamile yase-Ireland, futhi enye ebukeka kahle kakhulu. Ngakho baningi. Kuzodingeka ngenze amamuvi amaningi.

UKelly McNeely: Yini eyakwenza waba nentshisekelo yokuba ngumenzi wefilimu? Yini eyakukhuthaza ukuba uthathe leso sinyathelo?

Kate Dolan: Um, angazi. Yinto nje ehlale ikhona kuDNA yami. Ngikhule nomama. Wayengumama ongayedwana futhi sasihlala nogogo wami isikhathi ngiseyingane, futhi bobabili - ugogo nomama wami - babethanda kakhulu ifilimu, futhi babethanda nokubukela amafilimu. Ugogo wami wayenolwazi lwe-encyclopedic lwazo zonke izinhlobo zezihlabani zakudala zamamuvi waseHollywood nokunye. 

Besihlala sibuka amafilimu ngaso sonke isikhathi. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kuvele kwaqubula okuthize kimi, ukuthi ngavele ngathanda umfundazwe kanye naleyondlela yokuxoxa indaba. Futhi-ke ngeshwa - ngokudangala kukamama - watshala imbewu, ngabe sengiyiyeka futhi ngagcina leli phupho liphila. Futhi manje ibona kuwuhlobo lokukhokha, kodwa okwesikhashana, wayefana, kungani ungeke nje wenze imithi noma umthetho noma into? [ehleka]

UKelly McNeely: Ingabe umama wakho ungumlandeli we-horror futhi? 

Kate Dolan: Cha, akunjalo. Kodwa akafihli. Kumnandi. Ubengeke nje afune ukuyibuka manje. Angeke ngempela athande ukubuka amafilimu athusayo, uyawesaba. Kodwa uyazi, unokunambitheka okuxakile. Ngicabanga ukuthi ifilimu yakhe ayintandokazi Umgijimi weBlade. Ngakho-ke akamnene futhi akamnene, uthanda ezinye zezinto ezixakile, kodwa amafilimu asabekayo, ahlasimulisayo, akawathandi ngempela ngoba uyesaba kakhulu. Kodwa wayethanda Awuyena Umama Wami. Ngakho-ke nginophawu lukamama lokungivumela. Kunjalo, lokho kufana no-50%, anginendaba ukuthi abagxeki bathini ngemva kwalokho. [ehleka]

UKelly McNeely: Yini ekwenze ube nentshisekelo kokuthusayo? 

Kate Dolan: Yebo, angazi. Ngenye yalezo zinto engangihlala ngizibuza futhi ngazama ukuyilandela ngiphindele kokuthile. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi nganginothando lwangaphakathi lwanoma yini eyinqaba nesabisayo. Uyazi ukuthi ngiqonde ukuthini? Njengokuthi, ngangiyithanda i-Halloween ngiseyingane, ngizobe ngibala izinsuku ukuya ku-Halloween, ngaphezu kukaKhisimusi. Futhi ngangithanda noma yini ethusayo. Ngazifunda zonke izincwadi zeGoosebumps, ngase ngithweswa iziqu kuStephen King. Angazi ukuthi yayivelaphi, ngangiyithanda nje. Futhi uyazi, kusobala ukuthi namanje ngingumlandeli omkhulu owesabisayo nanoma yini esendaweni eyesabekayo, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi amanoveli, ifilimu, i-TV, noma ngabe kuyini, ngidla kakhulu ngangokunokwenzeka. 

UKelly McNeely: Yini elandelayo kuwe? Uma kukhona ongakhuluma ngakho? 

Kate Dolan: Yebo, nginamaphrojekthi amabili asathuthuka e-Ireland, enye yawo iskripthi sesicishe saqedwa. Ngakho-ke, mhlawumbe, noma yimuphi wabo angalandela ngokulandelayo. Womabili amaphrojekthi ethusayo futhi, amafilimu ahlanganisa ama-horror. Ngeke wazi, kufanele ube namabhodwe amaningi emathunjini njengomenzi wefilimu owesabekayo ngokujwayelekile, kodwa ngihlala nginezinto eziningi nje eziwuhlobo lokupheka, futhi kufanele ubone ukuthi yini ezovela ngokulandelayo, kodwa mina cabanga ngesikhala esisabekayo ngokuqinisekile ngekusasa elibonakalayo, ngakho-ke angingeni kunoma yiluphi uhlobo lwama-rom-coms, nanoma yini efana naleyo.

UKelly McNeely: Ushilo ukuthi udla kakhulu uhlobo. Ingabe unayo into oyifundile noma oyibukele kamuva nje osanda kuyithanda ngokuphelele? 

Kate Dolan: Yebo, ngangikuthanda ngempela IMisa laphakathi kwamabili. Ngikhulele e-Irish Catholic, ngakho-ke kufana nekhaya eligxiliwe ngendlela ejulile ye-PTSD. Bengithi, o, ngizoya emisa, kabi! [ehleka]

Kodwa bengifunda Incwadi Yezingozi ka-Chuck Wendig endizeni yami ngapha, futhi ngacabanga ukuthi lokho bekukuhle ngempela. Liyincwadi ethakazelisa ngempela, uhlobo lwe-surreal ngempela, futhi kumnandi kakhulu. Ngifuna ngempela ukuyobona X. Ngingahle ngiyokubona lokho kusihlwa ebhayisikobho. Ngiyathanda I-Texas Chainsaw Massacre, futhi abantu bathi kufana nje nomuntu ongekho emthethweni I-Texas Chainsaw imuvi.

UKelly McNeely: Futhi lo ngumbuzo onzima kakhulu. Kodwa imuphi imuvi oyikhonzile ethusayo? 

Kate Dolan: I-Exorcist kwakufana, mhlawumbe ifilimu eyangethusa kakhulu lapho ngiyibona, ngenxa yecala lamaKhatholika ase-Irish, mhlawumbe, kanye nokwesaba ukuthi uzongenwa udeveli noma okuthile. Kodwa ngithanda uhlobo lwe-campy horror, njengokuthi Scream futhi Shayela i-2. Bengizophinde ngibuke Scream kaninginingi, ngoba ifana nefilimu yokunethezeka. Amanye amafilimu engiwathandayo kodwa ufana nawe, angikwazi ukuwabuka njengamanje. Kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi Scream amamuvi, ngingawabuka noma nini futhi ngizoba sesimweni sakho.
