Yintoni engalunganga ngeKhowudi yeDa Vinci inokushwankathelwa ngegama elinye: yonke into!
AmaKatolika akhwaza Uqhekeko! AmaWisile azamla. AmaJuda ahambisa amehlo kwaye adlulise i-matzo. Kwaye iimonki ezizimeleyo, oonongendi, abefundisi kunye neealbino zisongela uoyikethi egameni lomntu wonke. Okwangoku, kukho isizathu esibaluleke ngakumbi sokuthintela ukungqubana okunengxolo nokuhlekisayo phakathi kweHollywood kunye neCawa yamaKatolika-amashishini amabini athe umntu ngamnye wazi okuninzi malunga neendlela zokuthengisa zamandla kunye nenzuzo. Eso sizathu silula: Ikhowudi yeDa Vinci yinkcitho yeedola eziyi-125 yezigidi kwiiyure ezimbini ezinesiqingatha zohlwaya ukukhubazeka okubini kulucelomngeni ukuhlala ngaphandle kokurhona. Abaqhekeki, abanyanisekileyo kunye nabadlali beemovie balumkele: Zisa iNoDoz.
UMlawuli uRon Howard, ephendula kalukhuni kubachasi bakhe kumaphephandaba ngokubanzi nakubaphulaphuli bobusuku bokuvula ababehlekisa ngefilimu e-Cannes, uthe, Oku kufanele ukuba kukuzonwabisa, hayi ezakwalizwi. Akunjalo. I-Lurid, ididekile ixineke nge-psychobabble ecaphukisayo kwaye ayisiyonto imnandi, yinto yobugcisa ngaphandle kobugcisa.
Andizange ndifunde eyona nto ithengiswa kakhulu nguDan Brown, kwaye ngoku ndiyasazi isizathu: Icebo lale ntsomi ingumcuphi wenkolo-ibhayibhile iyinkohliso, uYesu kunye nehenyukazi uMary Magdalene batshata ngokufihlakeleyo bazala abantwana, inzala yabo yaphela ngesizathu esingachazekiyo eFrance, kwaye inyani ihlala itshixiwe kangangeenkulungwane kwi-Holy Grail, enokuthi ifihlwe okanye ingafihlakali ndaweni ithile kufutshane neRitz Hotel eParis-isile ngokwaneleyo kwifilimu. Andikwazi ukucinga ngentuthumbo yokuyifunda. (Olunye ufefe olusindisayo: Umboniso bhanyabhanya mfutshane kunencwadi, kodwa nokuba inokuba yinkohliso.) Uhluthwe uhlobo lwesenzo esikugcina uphaphile, ungenalo nolona tshintsho luphambili, lwenziwa ngumdlalo ohlawulelwayo ojongeka ngathi ujethi- Ilagi kwaye imbi kakhulu ifuna iibhegi zebarf, kwaye ixinene ngencoko yencoko engapheliyo, le filimu ibangele umsindo kunye nempikiswano engafanelanga ukubila.
Ukucinga ukuba wonke umntu udiniwe kukufunda malunga neKhowudi yeDa Vinci njengoko ndibhala ngayo, ndiza kuyinciphisa iyelenqe, njenge-sosi: Umgcini weLouvre udutyulwe ngumonki we-albino albino (uPaul Bettany) , Ingelosi yokufa evela kwinkolo eyimfihlelo yamaKatolika ebizwa ngokuba ngu-Opus Dei ohamba ze, uphawule umzimba wakhe ngemivumbo enemisila emihlanu kwaye unxibe itsheyini elijingayo elibizwa ngokuba yicilice emathangeni akhe opha. Lo mfo ngudade ogulayo ovela kwenye iplanethi, kodwa uthetha neVatican kwiselfowuni kwaye urhuqa ejikeleze izixhobo zentshabalalo abangazange beva ngayo eBaghdad. Injongo ka-Opus Dei kukufumana kwaye usule bonke ubungqina bokuba elona bali likhulu lakha lathethwa yayilelona nyani likhulu lakha lathethwa-ubungqina obufihlwe iminyaka engama-2 000 kwiGrail eNgcwele. Ewe, sithetha ngeGrail Engcwele, eyayimnandi ngakumbi xa iinjuba zaseMonty Python knights zazizingela eSpamalot.
Nangona bahlala belahleka ekuphazamiseni, imovie ikwabonisa abalinganiswa ababini abaphambili: uprofesa waseHarvard wesimboli (uTom Hanks, onosuku olubi lweenwele ezishiyekileyo kwiNitty Gritty Dirt Band) kunye nesipolisa se-cryptologist (Audrey Tautou, emchitha gamine Leslie Caron umfanekiso), ngubani oyinzala yokugqibela ephilayo kaYesu. (Isibheno sakhe sezesondo sinyanzelise enye inqwelo ukuba inyanzelise ukuba uvela kwicala losapho lukaMary Magdalene.) Zonke ezi ngxaki zingenakulandelwa ziyabalandela njengoko bedlala kodwa beqhekeza ngokudibanisa iziqwenga zepuzzle ekukhangeleni iGrail eNgcwele, ukulandela imikhondo kubugcisa bukaLeonardo Da Vinci. Njengokuba uNks. Tautou egqabhuza ii-anagrams ze-arcane kunye noMnu. Hanks usibhokolisa ekufeni sizama ukuzichaza, sifunde zonke iintlobo ze-mumbo-jumbo zecawa. Zilungiseleleni: IGrail eNgcwele lilungu lobufazi, kwaye umfundi ecaleni kukaYesu kwisidlo sangokuhlwa wayeyintombazana!
Ukukhokelela ekugxothweni okude, okungaqhelekanga ukusuka eLouvre ukuya eWestminster Abbey, ngokumisa i-fireworks kunye nekrele kwi-chateau ye-loony endala ye-Holy Grail freak (uSir Ian McKellen, obamba lo mboniso), uNks Tautou kunye noMnu Hanks elandelwa yipolisa laseFrance (uJean Reno), ubhishophu obulala abantu (uAlfred Molina) kunye no-S & M obulala u-S & M, wazibetha njengegqwirha lidanisa ngapha komlilo ngelixa sifumana umsebenzi onzima kwimbali yobukumkani bamaKatolika, ogcwele ubumenemene bobuhedeni AmaRoma ahamba ngokuhlanya, ukuguqulwa kukaConstantine, uMary Magdalene ezala, kunye neBhunga laseNicaea, apho uYesu anyuselwa khona ukuba abe sisithixo ngo-325 AD ngu-Hollywood ongezelelweyo kumalaphu kunye ne-togas evela kwimovie kaMaria Montez. Yonke into inomdla kakhulu ndizifumene ndinombulelo ngenxa yohlaselo lwamaxesha athile lokungcamla okungathandekiyo.
Amehlo e-Baggy kwaye engathethi, Mnu. Hanks ujongeke ossified. UNks Tautou ubuhle, kodwa akanalo uluhlu kwaye isiNgesi sakhe sididekile kangangokuba uninzi lweziganeko zakhe zihamba ngenkungu yokungangqinelani. Bobabini bajongeka bedidekile, betyhutyha iziqwengana zembali kunye nemikhosi yeziporho ezinje ngabafundi abaxakekileyo kutyelelo lweGothic kwiindawo eziphambili zaseNgilani. Akukho siqwenga sekhemistri phakathi kwabo. Kumdlalo bhanyabhanya oziqhayisayo ngokufumba ulwazi oluhloniphekileyo kunye nokwenza ukuba luvakalise ukuqiniseka, isicatshulwa sesenzi sika-Akiva Goldsman siquka umngcelele we-zingers: andilandeli! Leyo yintsomi yabafazi abadala! Kwaye, okokugqibela, ndiyavuya ukuba le nkunzi yenkomo iphelile! Amen, chum, kunye novena ephaphazelayo kuloo nto. Emva kokuthengiswa kweencwadi ezizizigidi ezingama-60, ngokuqinisekileyo asiyomfihlo ukuba uTom Hanks uzisika xa eshefa, ulandela utolo lwegazi kwisinki yegumbi lokuhlambela, kwaye ekugqibeleni ufumanisa indawo yokuphumla yeGrail eNgcwele. Xa ufumanisa apho, uya kuhleka phezulu.
Andazi ngokwaneleyo nge-theology yasentsomini okanye inkolo ehleliweyo ukungqina ubungqina benkolo ye-2000-ye-Katolika iyelenqe lokutsala imilenze nokukhusela amandla ecawe ngokufihla iingcambu zobuKristu, kodwa ndiyazi into embi Iimuvi, kunye neKhowudi yeDa Vinci yinto enukayo.
Cliffhangers
Kwimihlali evuyisayo, ndikhetha ifilimu yaseFransi iLemming, i-twist yengqondo nguDominik Moll, owakhokelela ekumangaliseni okukhulu ngo-2000 kunye noMhlobo onjengoHarry. Inokunqunyanyiswa okufanayo kwemini ebanzi kunye nezinto eziphazamisayo zokuphakamisa iinwele ezothusayo ezenzeka kubantu abalungileyo kwiimeko ezibonakala ngathi ziqhelekileyo. U-Laurent Lucas, umdlali weqonga obedlala kakuhle umyeni wakhe obomi bakhe bujikile kwaHarry, kwaye ujonge ngokungathandekiyo njengoMontgomery Clift omncinci (ngaphambi kwengozi eyatshintshe ubuso nomsebenzi wakhe), kwakhona iinkwenkwezi njengo-Alain Getty, injineli eqaqambileyo Uyilo lwezixhobo zokuphucula ikhaya ezisebenza ngeWebcam. Eofisini, umsebenzi wakhe kukuqinisekisa ukuba yonke into ihlala iphantsi kolawulo. Ekhaya, umtshato wakhe obonakala ugqibelele kumfazi wakhe onothando nozinikeleyo, uBénédicte (uCharlotte Gainsbourg), ukwindawo efanayo.
Emva kokudluliselwa komsebenzi kwidolophu entsha ekumazantsi eFrance, bamema umphathi wakhe omtsha, uRichard Pollock (André Dussollier), kunye nenkosikazi yakhe uAlice (uCharlotte Rampling) kwisidlo sangokuhlwa. Esi sibini sidala siba luhlobo olufanayo lwabangenisi esihogweni njengoMacavellian isihloko somlingisi kuMhlobo onjengoHarry. Ubukrakra, ubukrakra kunye nokudikwa, uAlice uzama ukurhwebesha u-Alain, emva koko wehla ngokungamenywanga ukuba acele uxolo, uzivalela kwigumbi leendwendwe kwaye uzibulala. Ukwenza izinto zibe mbi nangakumbi, intonga encinci kwaye engaqondakaliyo (enye yezo ziqwenga zilandelelana ukuya elwandle ukusweleka) ibanjwa ekhitshini lokuhambisa amanzi ekhitshini, imisa imibhobho yamanzi. Iiparamedics ziza kwaye zihambe, uBénédicte uthatha umntu ongathandabuzekiyo ka-Alice oswelekileyo kwaye anyamalale kangangeentsuku, abamelwane bajika ngokumangalisa, kwaye ngakumbi u-Alain uzama ukuvulela imibhobho kunye nokubuyisela ucwangco, ngakumbi indlela yakhe yolawulo iyawa.
I-pandemonium ibutshabalalisa bonke ubomi babo, kodwa ngamayelenqe adibeneyo eziporho, ukuhanjiswa kwesazisi, ukungathembeki kunye nokufa, awusoze uqiniseke ukuba ingaba nantoni na iyinyani okanye iyacingelwa. I-surrealism elandisayo inokucaphukisa, kodwa ayikhe ibe ngaphantsi kwe-riveting, kwaye isenzo sibalaseleyo. (Wan kwaye engenagazi, isifundo sikaNks. Rampling kwisifo sokudakumba esimangalisayo siyamangalisa.) UMnu. Moll uyincutshe ekuxobuleni iibhandeji zomyili waseFrance ezifihla amanxeba oohlohlesakhe abagulayo. Iziphumo zicebisa uDavid Lynch nge-escargot.
Amanqaku oMculo
Kwibhokisi yam yeposi evela kumdlali wepiyano oqaqambileyo uPeter Mintun uza kulungiswa uphononongo lwam lomculi uMary Cleere Haran eCarlyle: Iwaka labalandeli mhlawumbi babhalile okanye babizelwa ukukukhumbuza ngento osele uyazi, ukuba uFrank Loesser (hayi uHoagy Carmichael) ubhale amagama kunye nomculo othi 'Intwasahlobo izakuba sekupheleni kulo nyaka.' Ndixolile, kuba bendikwazi oko. Ngelixa bendibhala uphononongo lwam, ukungafi kukaHoagy ndiDibana ngaphandle kwakho Kakuhle kakhulu kwakudlala ngasemva, kungoko ukudideka. (Ndihlala ndizidibanise ezo ngoma zimbini, ndiyaxolisa ukuvuma.) Ndiyabulela ukuba uMnu. Mintun undikhumbuza nokuba imizobo esengozini eCafé Carlyle yenzelwe ngumculi waseHungary owaziwayo uMarcel Vertes, hayi eyimbali ILudwig Bemelmans. Impazamo embi, kodwa kungcono kunabanikazi abatsha beCarlyle, ababhekisa kwimbali yokuhombisa njengephepha lodonga.
Okokugqibela, kungokuzisola okukhulu ukuba ukusikelwa umda kwesithuba kwiveki ephelileyo kunyanzelise uphononongo lwam lwe-Broadway soprano ekhethiweyo uRebecca Luker kumgangatho wegumbi lokuhlela. E-Feinstein's e-Regency, wayenomdla omabini wokuva kwaye athandeka ukujonga, njengama-blondes anqabileyo kwiimuvi ezindala zeBusby Berkeley. Ukubhiyozela ababhali beengoma ababhinqileyo, wafuduka kamnandi kwiingoma zothando zakudala ezenziwa nguDorothy Fields, uCarolyn Leigh noMarilyn Bergman baya kwislasshers kwinto endiyibiza ngokuba sisifo sikaJanis Ian, kodwa kwiingoma zovuyo okanye iingoma ze-angst, ilizwi lalinomtsalane, chops encomekayo kwaye uncumo luyakhazimla. Ungaze ubhenele kwibhanti enengxolo ukuze ufumane ingqalelo yakho, lo kaScarlett O'Hara owazalelwa eAlabama uyalazi ixabiso lokuthemba i-lyric kunye nokuvumela iingoma ukuba zimsebenzele, kwaye ungumlingisi ophumeleleyo naye. Echaza ubunzulu abuthululela kumculo omtsha onomxholo othi Lovely Lies, malunga namabhande aseMazantsi aphakanyiswe kumaculo ecawe kunye nepecan pie, ngaphandle kokulungiselela ukucinga ngokuzimeleyo okanye ubomi bokwenyani kwelinye icala lesityalo. Ukudlala iMagnolia kwinqanaba elikhulu leBroadway kwiBoat Boat okanye ukuphupha ucofa isongo esithandanayo kwi-cabaret yehotele, uRebcca Luker uguqula iingoma zibe yimidlalo emithathu kwaye enze indawo ibonakale ikhanya. Ndiyathemba ukuba uza kubuya kungekudala.
