Intlola engafezekanga: UPhilip Seymour Hoffman Iinkwenkwezi 'kweyona ndoda ifunwayo'

Kuhlala kumnandi ukubukela uPhilip Seymour Hoffman, nokuba sele ebhubhile, esebenza kuyo yonke indawo, efaka intshontsho kwindawo enzulu kunye neempawu zangaphandle apho uJames Franco anqwenela ukuya khona. Iziphumo azilingani ku-Anton Corbijn Eyona Ndoda ifunwayo , umdlalo wokuhlola odidayo ophawula omnye wabadlali abahloniphekileyo wokugqibela kwesikrini. Sele ekhangeleka egula kwaye emhlophe njengetshokhwe, asiyondlela entle yokuba umculi angalibalekiyo athi ndlela ntle, kodwa inye into omele uyivume malunga noMnumzana Hoffman-usenokuba wayezizinto ezininzi, kodwa isicefe sasingeyiyo enye yazo.

Ithathwe kwinoveli ka-2008 kaJohn le Carré malunga ne-post-9/11 espionage eHamburg, isixeko esiselunxwemeni ngesilumkiso esibomvu okoko u-Mohammed Atta kunye nabanye abagrogrisi benza iyelenqe lokuhlaselwa kwabo kwiZiko lezoRhwebo leHlabathi ukusukela kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, imovie iqala xa Umntu ofakwe isigqumathelo ufika ngokungummangaliso kwaye uchongwe ngokukhawuleza yi-arhente yobukrelekrele yaseJamani ekhokelwa ngumphathi otyumkileyo, otshayayo, osela utywala ngobunono uGunther Bachmann (Mnu. Hoffman) njengoKarpov (uGrigoriy Dobrygin), isiqingatha-isiChechen, isiqingatha-isiRashiya umphambukeli orhanelwa ukuba ngu-Jihadist obaleke ukungcungcuthekiswa kunye nokuvalelwa e-Hamburg ngeyunithi yamaSilamsi. Akakwazi ukuya ekhaya eRashiya kuba kukho ixabiso entlokweni yakhe. Ngokwenyani, yonke into efunwa ngu Karpov eJamani kukuqokelela ilifa elilingana neshumi lezigidi zeerandi kuyise ongasekhoyo, inkosi yolwaphulo-mthetho e-Chechen, egcinwe kwibhanki ka-Tommy Brue (Willem Dafoe).

UBachmann ufuna ukukhusela uKarpov ekubanjweni ngamagosa ezobuntlola aseJamani ngaphambi kokuba anxibelelane nabanqolobi bamaSilamsi, ngethemba lokugcina imali yombutho wakhe oyimfihlo wokulwa nabanqolobi. Iinjongo zakhe ayisiyiKarpov, kodwa unjingalwazi osisityebi nonamandla ongumSilamsi ogama linguGqirha Faisal Abdullah (Homayoun Ershadi) uyamlandela ukuba ngubani okrokrelwa ukuxhasa abanqolobi ngeminikelo kwinkampani yokuhambisa ngenqanawa eSipro. Isicwangciso-qhinga sikaBachmann kukujonga, ukujonga ngokuzolileyo kunye nokufekethisa iintshaba zakhe — iarhente yaseMelika ye-CIA enzima, enobuso obunzima nobunzima njenge-asphalt (i-brunette kunye neRobin Wright engaqondakaliyo) ofuna ukubamba uKarpov kwaye afune uloyiso lwase-US, intloko yaseJamani ezobuntlola (uRainer Bock), kunye negqwetha elihle lamalungelo oluntu (uRachel McAdams) elizinikele ekukhuseleni nasekuboneleleni ngokhuseleko kwabaphambukeli ngokungekho mthethweni — ngaphambi kokuba babambe uKarpov bathimbe nemali yakhe.

Usenam? Kwenziwe amayelenqe amakhulu, wonke umntu ehlola wonke umntu, imovie igcwele iinkcukacha ze-labyrinthine ezinzima ngakumbi kune-hieroglyphics yase-Egypt. I-hash eguqukayo inqabile kakhulu ukuba ivelise inzala eqhubekekayo kwaye iyabambeka kakhulu kwaye iyamangalisa ukuze ivuyise nabani na ongaphandle kwabona bantu bazinikeleyo kuMnu. Musa ukulindela enye inguqulelo ye- I-spy eyangena ivela kwiCold okanye Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy . Kwi Isicwangciso sikaBachmann, esibonakala ngathi siyasebenza, igqwetha lisindisa uKarpov. UKarpov unika amaJamani uGqirha Abdullah, isifundiswa samaSilamsi. Unjingalwazi uyagxothwa. Karpov ufumana indawo yokhuseleko. Kwaye iintlola zikaBachmann zifumana imali yokwenza umhlaba ube yindawo ekhuselekileyo. Kodwa kumzuzu wokugqibela ojijekileyo ophela kukucaphukisa nokungangqinelani, iitafile ziyajika. Yeyona MacGuffin enkulu kumdlalo bhanyabhanya owenziwe ngabom kwaye udide ngokwaneleyo ngokwaneleyo. Akukho nto inokujonga apha, nokuba; ukusuka ekuqaleni kude kube sekupheleni, iHamburg ijongeka imbi njengediphozithi yenkunkuma evela kwimizi-mveliso.

Nokuba ujongana nendlela yamaJamani eza kwaye idlule, uMnumzana Hoffman kufanelekile ukuba abukele njengomntu odiniweyo, ongathandabuzekiyo, onesifo sedyspeptic, kwaye bonke abanye abadlali banika inkxaso eqinileyo-ngakumbi umlingisi omangalisayo waseJamani uNina Hoss ( UBarbara ) njengomncedisi othembekileyo kaBachmann . Kodwa ngaphandle kwemali, andinakucinga ukuba yintoni eyamqinisekisa ukuba le nto kufanelekile ukuyenza. Khange ndiyifunde inoveli, kodwa ngokusekwe kulo mboniso bhanya-bhanya owabhalwa ngumbhali wase-Australia u-Andrew Bovell ( Lantana ), Ndiyathandabuza ukuba ndiza kudlula kwisahluko sesibini. I-Dreary, idandathekisayo kunye nenkanuko, Eyona Ndoda ifunwayo ayiyindebe yam yetshokholethi enekhrimu emhlophe.
