** Inothi Lomhleli: UJeffrey Reddick: Indoda Eyisitabane Efundise Abathandi Bokuthuka Indlela Entsha Yokwesaba Ukufa ukuqhubeka kweHorror's Inyanga Yokuziqhenya Esabekayo kugujwa umphakathi we-LGBTQ kanye negalelo labo ekuthuseni.

Angisoze ngikhohlwa okokuqala ngqa Indawo Yokugcina.

Bengike ngaya endaweni yami yaseshashalazini yasendaweni, ukusethwa kwesikrini okuthathu lapho intengo yokwamukelwa iphume ku- $ 4 kwathi ngoLwesibili ungangena ngamasenti angama-50. Bekuvulwa impelasonto futhi ngiqonde eshashalazini ngokushesha nje lapho ngiphuma emsebenzini.

Ngingene ngaphakathi futhi ngijabule lapho ngihlangana nomngani wami obejabule kakhulu ukungibona ngoba ubekolunye lwezinsuku ezimbi kakhulu empilweni yakhe!

Sizinze kuleyoholo yaseshashalazini ebibhidlikile ebengiyithanda kakhulu nokuthi ukujwayela okulindelwe kwe-movie entsha eshaqisayo kwangishaya lapho amalambu efiphala. UDevon Sawa washeshe wagcwalisa isikrini futhi ngakhangwa ngokuphelele njengoba yena nabangane bakhe bekhohlisa uKufa kuphela ukuthi bathathwe eyodwa ngesikhathi njengoba ebuya ukuzolungisa amaphuzu.

Ngabuyela eshashalazini amahlandla ambalwa ukuyobona le filimu, futhi yaba yintandokazi yami ngalowo nyaka. Ngiphinde ngaya emsebenzini ngilandelela imininingwane eminingi ngangokunokwenzeka ngabantu abayidalile.

Kungaleso sikhathi lapho ngathola khona uJeffrey Reddick. Kungaba yiminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokuthi ngithole ukuthi lo muntu owabhala ifilimu engiyithandayo yonyaka ka-2000 wayeyisitabane, futhi, lapho esemncane eneminyaka engama-23 wayesevele enethonya empilweni yami.

Ngokuzimisela, njalo lapho ngikhubeka noma kwenzeka ingozi exakile izinyanga ezimbalwa ngemuva kokubuka okokuqala umcabango othi "Ingabe nguwe, Kufa?" bengizogijima ekhanda lami, futhi ngenxa yokulandelana kokuqala, angisayikushayela ngemuva kwalawo maloli amakhulu agawula izimbongolo.

Ekugcineni ngithole ukuthi uReddick ubengowesilisa oyisitabane oziqhenyayo futhi oziqhenyayo, kodwa futhi naye ubephuma edolobhaneni elincane lasemaphandleni e-Eastern Kentucky okungenzeka ukuthi ubenayo indawo yaseshashalazini yakudala efana naleyo engibone kuyo ifilimu yakhe yokuqala.

Kunzima ukuchaza ukuthi lokho kwakusho ukuthini kimi-ke. Ngangiphumile futhi ngisalwa kanzima ukuba yindoda engungqingili eqhoshayo ehlala ezinduku zase-East Texas futhi ukuxhumana nale ndoda nomsebenzi wayo kwabonakala ngathi kuyaphila kimi. Kunginike nethemba lokuthi mhlawumbe, ngolunye usuku, ngingafaka isandla kulolu hlobo engangiluthanda kakhulu.

Indaba kaReddick yinto okunzima ukuyikholwa.

Eminyakeni eyi-14 ubudala, wabhalela uBob Shaye incwadi eNew Line Cinema enombono wendaba ye-prequel to I-Nightmare ku-Elm Street okwabuyiselwa kuye ngokushesha nguShaye ethi akakwazanga ukwamukela izinto angazicelanga.

Ukuze anganqotshwa, uReddick osemusha wabhala ephendula etshela uShaye ukuthi ukhokhe imali enhle ukubona amafilimu ale ndoda futhi okuncane angakwenza wukufunda le ndaba. Wamangala lapho uShaye enza lokho, wase eyithumela namanothi wokuthi ingathuthukiswa kanjani.

Eminyakeni emihlanu eyalandela, uReddick, uShaye, kanye nomsizi kaShaye uJoy Mann babebhala izincwadi eziningi emuva naphambili kwathi lapho ineminyaka engu-19 ubudala, le nsizwa yaseKentucky yaqala ukuqeqeshelwa umsebenzi eNew Line.

Kwakungesikhathi sakhe lapho lapho afunda khona ngendaba yowesifazane osemusha owayebalekile okwakungaba ukufa engozini yendiza ngemuva kokuba umama wakhe emshayele emxwayisa ukuthi wayenomuzwa omubi ngendiza.

Imbewu evela kuleyo ndatshana izokhula ibe yilokho ekugcineni okwaba yikho Indawo Yokugcina. Umqondo wakhe wokuFa ononhlokweni u- “D” njengamandla endalo yokwaluka iphethini yokuphela kwempilo ngayinye emhlabeni kwavusa umxhwele wababukeli, futhi kwaveza ilungelo lokuhweba elalizokhiqiza iziqubulo ezine.

Ekugcineni, uReddick washiya iNew Line, kepha waqhubeka nokubhala amafilimu athusayo afana nalawa Tamara futhi osanda kukhishwa Vukile uVukani, futhi ngaleso sikhathi, akaze ayeke ukulwela ukufakwa kwabantu abambalwa emsebenzini wakhe yize abaphathi besitudiyo beqhubeka nokukhuluma becaphuna ubunzima bokuthengisa lawo mafilimu phesheya kwezilwandle.

Njengoba angitshela kwinhlolokhono ngo-2017, “I-movie yesenzo edlala indawo kaWill Smith? Ayikho inkinga. Kepha ifilimu ethusayo enomlingisi ohamba phambili omnyama noma umlingisi iba nezinkinga njalo. Kepha bengilokhu ngichaza iminyaka ukuthi uma ulingisa umlingisi noma umlingisi ohamba phambili wase-Afrika kwifilimu esabekayo, abalandeli be-horror bazoyibona inqobo nje uma kukuhle. Ukhiye-ke lowo. ”

Ukuqina kwakhe kudlulela ekufakeni izinhlamvu ze-LGBTQ, futhi, yize ehlangane nohlobo olufanayo lokubuyela emuva kusuka kubakhiqizi, abenzeli, nabalingisi.

Kunzima ukungayihloniphi indoda eqhubeka nokusebenza futhi iqhume kulawo mabonda, noma ngabe kwesinye isikhathi kubonakala kungenakunqobeka, kodwa futhi, uqala ukuthola imiphumela yangempela.

Mhlawumbe kungenxa yempumelelo yanyakenye Phuma, noma mhlawumbe ngoba ekugcineni abantu banakile, ifilimu yesici sikaReddick Inkolelo-ze: Umthetho wama-3 okwamanje isakhiqizwa.

Le filimu, eyenzeka ekolishi futhi idlala kwisisho esidala esithi “ukufa kuza kwabathathu,” kulingisa abalingisi abagcwele abalingisi nabalingisi base-Afrika baseMelika nabaseLatino abanjengoLudacris, Prince Royce, Terayle Hill, noLauryn Alisa McClain.

Ubuye futhi wachitha izinyanga ezimbalwa ekuqaleni konyaka esebenza ohlelweni oludumile lwethelevishini i- “Midnight, Texas” olungagcini nje ngokufaka abalingisi abahlukene ngokobuhlanga, kodwa futhi oluziqhenya ngezithandani ezivelele ezingongqangi kule ngxube.

Kukho konke, uReddick uhlala ethembekile kuye njengombhali, enothisa uhlobo ngezwi lakhe elihlukile.

Wake wangitshela ukuthi uma ukuphila impilo yakhe njengendoda enombala obala obala kuthinta umuntu oyedwa, konke lokho kungakufanelekela lokho.

Hhayi-ke, Jeffrey, ngineqiniso lokuthi ngingomunye wezinkulungwane, kepha ube yisibonelo esihle kimi, futhi njengoba ngiqhubeka nokubhala ngalolu hlobo futhi ngimba ngijule kokuhle kunakho konke ekunikezayo, Nginikela ukubonga kwami ​​kokuzithoba kumuntu oqhubeka nokungikhuthaza ngomsebenzi wakhe…

… Noma ngabe kusangikhathaza ukuthi uKufa kusendleleni yami lapho ngikhubeka ngezinyawo zami.
