Inothi lomhleli: Umlando Omude Futhi (Ngokuvamile) Ongasebenzi WamaLesbian kumaHorror Films, Ingxenye ukuqhubeka kweHorror's Inyanga Yokuziqhenya Esabekayo kugujwa umphakathi we-LGBTQ ohlotsheni olwesabekayo.

Siyakwamukela futhi engxenyeni yesibili yochungechunge lwethu olufushane oludingida umlando wabobulili obufanayo kumafilimu asabisayo.

Engxenyeni 1, sixoxe ngesikhathi seHays Code kanye nokufakwa amakhodi okuqhubekayo ngesikhathi sokuqala kwamafilimu lapho bengakwazi ukubhala izinhlamvu ze-queer ngokusobala ngakho-ke bazifihla ngokusobala. Amafilimu ama-Horror ayengahlukile, futhi ikakhulukazi asebenzisa laba balingisi njengamahlongandlebe okwadingeka ekugcineni abhujiswe.

Sahamba ngo-1963 Ukuthokozela. Le filimu yayihluke kakhulu kulokho ngenkathi kusafakwa amakhodi, umlingiswa kaTheo waphathwa ngokuzwela ngokucophelela futhi ukwazile ukusinda.

Njengoba iminyaka yama-60 yayisondela emaphethelweni, abanye balabo abathandana besifazane baqala ukuvela ekubhalweni kwamakhodi. Ngeshwa, amafilimu ama-horror awafaka ngqo phakathi nokuxhashazwa.

Abalingiswa besifazane abathandana nabesilisa abathandana nabesilisa abathandana nabesilisa abathandanayo baqala ukuba nobulili obukhudlwana futhi bakhulisa nezimilo ezidlayo. Uthando aluvamile ukungena ku-equation ngoba, ekuqondeni komphakathi okukhudlwana kwanoma yiliphi ilungu lomphakathi we-queer, ukuba nobungqingili noma ubungqingili noma abesilisa nabesilisa noma abesilisa noma abesilisa noma abesilisa noma abesilisa kunabo bonke ababekwenza nalokho okwenzeka ekamelweni lakho futhi akukho lutho ngalokho okuzwayo.

Njengakuqala, lokhu akuhloselwe ukuba kube uhlu oluhlanganisa konke. Esikhundleni salokho, ngakhetha isibonelo esisodwa sezintathu ezintathu eziyinhloko zale minyaka eyishumi (i-vampire, i-witch, i-spirits) ukunambitha okwakwenzeka ngaleso sikhathi.

Ngeshwa, angitholanga ukuboniswa okuhle kokunye eqenjini.

Ngo-1970 – Abathandi beVampire

Ngasizathu simbe, ababhali besikrini nabaqondisi banamathele emcabangweni wesithandwa senkosikazi se-vampire esenziwa nguSheridan Le Fanu UCarmilla eminyakeni eyikhulu ngaphambili.

Empeleni, Abathandi beVampire isuka eHammer Studios ngo-1970 yayiqondaniswa ngqo, futhi ngokumangazayo ethembekile kulolo daba. Lokhu bekungekona ukuphela kokulungiswa kwalomthombo ngemithombo yango-1970 – bekungeyona ukuphela kokuzivumelanisa nale studio.

Lesi situdiyo size safika lapho saze sayikhokhisa le filimu ngezinhla zemigqa emisha:

“Uma ulinga… nambitha inkanuko ebulalayo yeGAZI-NYMPHS!”

“Kuyiphupho elibi lezinkanuko ezihlukumezayo ezigijimisa imizimba engenakhanda, engafile!”

"UCarmilla uyindlovukazi yama-vampire angama-lesbian!"

Hhay ... abaseBrithani babebonakala bezuza ezinye izinto ngokushesha okukhulu kunalokho esikwenzile ezifundazweni, kodwa njengoba ubona, babengekho ngaphezu kokuzixhaphaza, noma.

Le filimu iqopha u-Ingrid Pitt oheha njalo njengoCarmilla / Mircalla / Marcilla omenza asheshe angene kwamanye amakhaya amahle kakhulu amzungezile futhi aqale ukwenza umsebenzi omfushane kunoma ngubani angamthola. Ukubuka kwakhe kwakubhekiswe kakhulu kowesifazane osemusha ogama lakhe linguLaura (Pippa Steele), noma kunjalo.

Kamuva, bobabili umqondisi noPitt bangasho ukuthi bebengahlosile ukuveza uCarmilla njengongqingili, kwathi uPitt wengeza ngokuthi wayehlose ukuthi uCarmilla abe nobulili obufanayo.

Ngabe sizophinda sibuyele emgqeni wethegi futhi ?!

Kunoma ikuphi, yiqiniso, uCarmilla nezifiso zakhe ezingezona ezemvelo kwadingeka zibhujiswe ekugcineni kwefilimu. (Noma babenjalo?)

NAKHO, futhi lokhu kuyathakazelisa, bukela i-trailer. Benza konke okusemandleni abo hhayi ukudlala lokho ku-trailer nhlobo. Umuntu kufanele azibuze ukuthi bekwenzekani njengoba ezinye zalezi zinqumo bezithathwa.

1972 – Intombi eyiVirgin

Okunye ukungena kwaseBrithani nokuxhaphaza njengesihloko esedlule, Intombi eyiVirgin Abalingisi bezelamani abanenkanyezi u-Ann noVicki Michelle njengodadewabo uChristine noBetty. UChristine uthintwe ngowesifazane ogama lakhe linguSybil Waite ngenkontileka yokumodela futhi uzimisele ngokuqala impilo entsha noBetty.

Akazi ukuthi i-ejensi kaSybil iyisembozo sesivumelwano sabathakathi abafuna intombi ezojoyina izintambo zabo. UChristine, esimthola enamakhono engqondo, umangaza uSybil ngokuvuma ngokuthakazelelwa ukuqaliswa.

USybil (Patricia Haines), kusobala ukuthi ungungqingili onobungqingili onentshisekelo yamandla kaChristine, kanti noChristine, uqala ukulwa. Uya kude aze azame ukulawula isivumelwano ngesikhathi sokuqala kwakhe.

UChristine, ngoba muhle futhi uyintombi futhi uqotho, wehlula uSybil, omubi futhi ongeke abe yintombi uma unaka imigqa ayisebenzisayo kuChristine nakobungqingili, futhi esebenzisa amakhono akhe engqondo ukubulala umPristi Ophakeme.

Eminyakeni selokhu yakhululwa, ifilimu (nayo eyayimakethwa ngaphansi kwegama Amawele Esini) ulahlwe yizinkanyezi zakubo ezingafuni lutho ngazo, noma kunjalo ngeke zisho ukuthi kungani kunjalo.

Bheka i-trailer futhi ubheke isifundo sokudonsa izinwele sikaSybil ngokulalela umpristikazi omkhulu. Ngisho, empeleni?

1977 – USentinel

Awuzange ucabange ukuthi sizohlala eBrithani, akunjalo?

Ongakusho mayelana I-Sentinel? Yebo, ngaphambi kokuthi singene ebunzimeni bayo, ake siveze ukuthi le filimu inabalingisi abavelele ngempela. UJose Ferrer, John Carradine, Ava Gardner, Eli Wallach, Jerry Orbach, Christopher Walken, Burgess Meredith, Beverly D'Angelo, noSylvia Miles ukubala nje abambalwa.

Ngabalingisi abanjalo, ulindele ubukhulu, futhi ngandlela thize uyabuthola. Lokho okutholayo futhi kungenye yamafilimu amangaza kakhulu engake ngawabona, mathupha, ngesakhiwo esisonteka futhi siphenduke ngaphezu kokudida kakhulu izimfihlakalo zika-Agatha Christie.

Imodeli yemfashini (kungani babehlala njalo bengamamodeli wemfashini?) Ogama lakhe lingu-Alison Parker (Cristina Raines) uthola isivumelwano sempilo yakhe yonke lapho engena edwaleni lomlando elinsundu eBrooklyn Heights. Vele, akusensuku zatshwala abone ukuthi kunesizathu eshibhile kakhulu futhi leso sizathu sinakho konke okuphathelene nomnyango oya esihogweni egumbini elingaphansi.

Ubuye kancane kancane abone ukuthi mhlawumbe omakhelwane bakhe abanomsindo akubona abangempela. Kungaphakathi kwalabo makhelwane, kepha lapho sithola khona indaba yethu yezithandani, futhi kungenye yezinto eziyinqaba kulolu hlu. Yebo, uqinise kakhulu kunama-vampire nabathakathi abangazintombi.

Idlalwa nguSylvia Miles noBeverly D'Angelo, uGerde Engstrom noSandra bayibhanoyi elingajwayelekile. Abalingisi laba bahlukene ngeminyaka engama-27 ngokweminyaka, futhi kunezikhathi esikrinini lapho uGerde ehlangana nokulawula nokuhlukumeza uSandra.

Okunye futhi okuthakaselayo ukuvezwa kwalezi zithandani ezingongqingili ukuthi zihlala zethulwa njengokuncane… zingcolile. Izingubo zabo, noma zigqoke kahle, zihlala ziveza ngandlela thile futhi zinganaki kancane.

Nakulokhu futhi, sithola ukuvezwa kwabalingiswa abathandana nabobulili obufanayo okuphathelene nezocansi futhi akuhlangene nabantu bangempela nobudlelwano. Kwesinye sezigcawu ze-WTF kule filimu, uSandra uze aqale ukushaya indlwabu phambi kuka-Alison ngemuva kokuthi uGerde ephume egumbini ngaphandle kwesizathu.

Kuwo wonke ama-stellar cast yayo nemibono ephakeme, ngineqiniso lokuthi umqondisi nababhali bacabanga ukuthi benza okuthile kwezobuciko lapha, kepha angikwazi ukuthola impilo yami ukuthi kungaba yini lokho.

Ngakho-ke kukhona ama-trope akho ayisisekelo ama-1970s horror ayewasebenzisela ukubhekana nabathandana nabo. Ngeshwa, ukuxhashazwa akuphelanga impela, kepha ngenkathi ama-80s nama-90s ezungeza, kwabonakala kunethemba elincane ekugcineni, futhi sizokubhekana nakho esahlukweni esilandelayo salolu chungechunge!
