Isikhathi sokunye ukukhishwa kweLate to the Party, futhi umuntu ngikhethe ifilimu impela ukuthi ayibuyekeze. I-Eraserhead yifilimu yokuqala yobude bukaDavid Lynch; izwe elinezimboni, elingenalutho, nelicindezelayo lephupho elisuselwa ezimangalisweni lapho imifece ebushushwini obusabucayi iba ngumzali nokusondelana.

Bengihlale nginesifiso “sokubuka” lokhu I-Eraserhead ukubona nje ukuthi kusabeka kanjani kuze kufike kumabhayisikobho amnyama namhlophe asabekayo. Kuze kube yilapho ngiqala ukucwaninga ngefilimu, bengingazi ukuthi le kuyindlela engalungile nokungaqondi kahle ukuthi yini I-Eraserhead futhi uLynch cishe.

Angizange ngiqale ukubheka I-Eraserhead kuze kube isigaba sami – ukuthembeka, angikaphumi esigabeni okwamanje-- sokumba ngokweqile imininingwane esolwayo yezakhiwo nezimfihlo ezifihliwe ngaphakathi Izintaba Ezithulelayo Idemo yamazwibela adlalekayo.

Ilukuluku lami lalibhekiswe kuLynch lapho abalandeli bephawula ukuthi "umbungu wokucwila" ubakhumbuza okuningi ngengane kaHenry I-Eraserhead. Ngifunde ukuthi ukwenziwa kwe-Lynch's jarring surrealism nokuklanywa kwemisindo eyingqayizivele kuyingxenye yokukhuthazwa kwe- Athule uMgqumeni chungechunge, Umbala Ophelele, inqwaba yamafilimu ama-horror "slow-burn", futhi (ikakhulukazi) uStanley Kubrick.

U-Lynch uzimisele ukwenza ifilimu ibe yiqiniso kumugqa wayo, "Iphupho ngezinto ezimnyama nezikhathazayo". Ngokwenza njalo, wahlola umqondo womsindo nezithombe njengezinto eziyinhloko zefilimu okungukuthi - kukodwa - okungakushukumisela kumongo wakho.

 

Ngenkathi NGIKUTHANDA ukwethuka, ngingumgxeki othambekele kakhulu ebuchwephesheni, ngakho-ke ngemuva kokubuka lokhu kuhamba okokuqala ngazinyenyezela ngombuzo oqotho; "Ngikubukeza kanjani lokho?"

Yize ngineqiniso lokuthi baningi abangaphendula ukuthi bangayenza kanjani le nto kanti abanye bazothi “Angazi,” ngiyazi ukuthi abanye bazovuna yena uqobo uDavid Lynch athi “Awunayo. ”

Lokhu kungabangelwa ukuthi angafuni ukuthi umbono wakhe wobuciko uhlolwe ngokungafanele, ababukeli badwebe ngokufana I-Eraserhead empilweni kaLynch uqobo, noma ifilimu idwetshwe njengocezu oluqhutshwa kwezepolitiki.

Kuyaphawuleka ukuthi uLynch wayefuna ukuba ngumdwebi. Imvamisa, ngabadwebi, abantu bakhetha ukubheka lokho umdwebo “ongekho,” kepha umdwebi ufuna ukwenza umdwebo “ongukuthi” nje.

Angifuni ukonakalisa isithombe sefilimu noma ukwakheka komsindo, futhi noma ngabe ngingaxoxa kabanzi, umongo ubungeke unikeze ukucaca okukhulu kule ndlu yefilimu ehlanyayo.

NOKHO, ngemuva kokubuka I-Eraserhead (kathathu) nginencazelo elandelayo elandelayo:

UHenry Spencer ungumuntu onamahloni, othobekile ohlala edolobheni lezimboni elisongelayo, elicindezelayo, nelimnyama, elitholakala phakathi kwePhilidelphia ne-dreamcape of fantasy namaphupho amabi. Ngobunye ubusuku, esebuyele endlini yakhe, watshelwa ukuthi owayeyintombi yakhe, uMary, ufuna ukumbona esidlweni sakusihlwa nabazali bakhe. Lezi zindaba zehlelwa kuye ngumakhelwane wakhe omusha, okhangayo, ohehayo.

Uma uvakashela ikhaya lesitayela elingaqondakali kahle kodwa elonakele maphakathi naleli hlathi likakhonkolo eliyincithakalo, uzozithola ubhekene nesigcawu esigcwele izinkukhu ezijikelezayo ezesabekayo, ukukhala kwenja ephezulu kakhulu, nezitimela ezidlula ngokweqile. Kukulesi sigameko lapho uHenry etshelwa khona ukuthi ungubaba wengane kaMary… yize kungaziwa ukuthi ngabe yingane ngempela yini noma cha.

Faka: Udumo “I-Eraserhead”Baby, into eyisilwane esedlula esomuntu ekhipha ukukhala kosana olukhathazekile futhi eboshelwe embhedeni webhandeshi.

Kungemva kobusuku obubodwa bokubhekana nengane ikhafula ukudla kwayo, ikhala ngokungaphezi, kanye nengcindezi yokuba ngumama osanda kuthola- kuhlanganiswe nemisindo yedolobha lezimboni elinesihogo- uMary uphuma ngolaka. Ukwenza lokhu ngenkathi etshela uHenry ukuthi “UNGANAKEKELE NGCONO.”

Okulandelayo kungenzeka kube uchungechunge lwezenzakalo eziphazamisa kakhulu umuntu angahlangabezana nazo njengomzali ongayedwa. UHenry kufanele alondoloze ingqondo yakhe ngenkathi efunda ukubhekana nengane ehlukumeza ngokungaphezi kanye nesilingo senkanuko nokungathembeki kulabo abangaphandle kwegumbi abhajwe kulo.

Vele, uHenry kumele futhi abone ukuthi impilo kufanele yini iqhubeke ngaphandle kwe-radiator yakhe (iphayini kanye nokungcola okuhlanganisiwe), lapho owesifazane owesabekayo anemibono yokumlinga ebuhleni beZulu "lapho konke kuhamba kahle".

Kungithathe amawashi ambalwa ukuthi ngihlele "ukuwathola".

Ngenkathi I-Eraserhead nakanjani iphusha imingcele yokuthi ifilimu ingathola ubudlabha kangakanani ngokuxoxa indaba (engahlangani) engahlangani, umdwebo omkhulu awukho kusakhiwo: kungenxa yezenzo, izithombe, kanye nokudluliswa kwethoni lefilimu ngokuklanywa komsindo okungaphazamisi.

Akufanele udonseke ngokutshelwa ukuthi ifilimu YIMNYAMA futhi iyahlupha, kepha ngokuzama ukugcina umbono ngezinto ezimnyama nezikhathazayo. Izinhlamvu ku I-Eraserhead ikakhulukazi dlala le iqhinga kuwe, ngoba zibukeka zifana kakhulu nomakhelwane bakho abajwayelekile ngenkathi zisebenza njengezihambi ngendlela yazo kanye nenkulumo (elinganiselwe).

Labo abangaveli njengabantu bazozama ukuhamba ngemikhuba efanayo, kepha ukulingiswa kokuhamba okunje –kuhambisana nabantu abangajwayelekile kanye nomoya omnyama – kukhombisa ukucabanga okungahambi kahle ebusuku.

I-Eraserhead wethula isigodi esingaqondakali ukuthi (noma ngabe awuyithandi ifilimu) sizohlala ezindaweni ezikude kakhulu, ezithulile zengqondo yakho. Izodonsela phambili njenge-hum yomugqa kagesi, futhi awusoze wakwazi ukuyisula.

Uma ungazange ubuke I-Eraserhead, Angikwazi ukukuncoma ngokwanele. Ngeke ngithi yifilimu ephelele (kude nayo), kepha uma uthanda ukwenza izinto ngokweqile, uphethiloli owesabekayo, noDavid Lynch — isihogo, ngisho nokwesabeka kwesimanje njengoba sazi ngakho-ke ngingathi lena iwashi eliyimpoqo .

Futhi uma ungeyena umlandeli walezi zinto esesizibalile, bhekisisa nje ukubukela ifilimu ngokungafani nanoma yini onayo, noma oyoke uyibuke: iphupho lezinto ezimnyama nezikhathazayo.

Ukuthola iLate to the Party, hlola uhlelo lwethu lwangaphambilini ngokukhishwa kukaKelly McNeely kwesikhwama sokushaya esithandwa kakhulu se-iHorror, "muck".
