Owona mzuzu wam ndiwuthandayo kwi-Biology entsha kaMarcall Fine yeCassave ifika xa uMartin Scorsese, engenademon yolwakhiwo, ejonge iCassavetes ehlela indawo UMinnie noMoscowitz (1971).
Yiza, John, utshilo uMnu Scorsese, yiya kwinqanaba lendawo.
Akunakuze! ICassavete yadubula yabuya.
Akanguye, ngokucacileyo, kuzo zonke izinto azithandayo. U-Roman Polanski, owayexabana naye uCassavetes Usana lukaRosemary (1968), wahlekisa: Akangomlawuli. Wenza iifilimu. Nabani na ongathatha ikhamera kwaye enze ifilimu njengaye Izithunzi [1959].
ICassavete yayihlala ikwazisa ngokuchaseneyo nomsinga oxhaphakileyo weemovie, kwaye wayenza yomibini ngenxa yokuziphatha kwakhe okuhle kwaye ngenxa yokuba wayeyindalo ngokwemvelo. Njengomvelisi wakhe, u-Al Ruban, uxelela uMnu. Fine: Nokuba uthatha siphi isikhundla, wayekwelinye icala. Ukuba utshintshe indawo okuyo, naye yena. Wayengakuvumeli ukuba umjoyine kuba wayonwabele ungquzulwano.
Ukuba enye yeefilimu zeCassavetes ibuke kuqala kakuhle, uya kuyibuyisela ukuthintela naluphi na uhlobo lobuso obufana nalo. Umgaqo wokuzonwabisa wawungekho kakhulu; Umsebenzi wobugcisa, wayekholelwa ukuba, kufuneka ube nzima okanye uphazamise. Enye yeemovie zakhe azithandayo ezindala yayi Iingelosi ezinobuso obumdaka , kunye no-James Cagney oqaqambileyo. Kwaye kutheni wayethanda Iingelosi ? Kwakungumbono wesiphelo: Ingaba uCagney's Rocky Sullivan uya esihlalweni esoyika? Okanye ulungile ebambeleyo uyoyika? Uyagqiba.
IiCassavete zazingenakwenzeka. Kwigama lakhe leemvakalelo, ukungazinzi kwakuyinto enqwenelekayo. UPauline Kael wakhangela yonke into awayenzayo, kwaye ngesinye isihlandlo, xa babesebenzisa ikhabhathi, wazikhulula izihlangu ezinyaweni zakhe wazikhuphela ngaphandle ngefestile. Nokuba ungumdlali omncinci, wayeza kukhetha umlo, emva koko athethe indlela yokuphuma kubo ngakumbi nangaphantsi kulonwabo lokubona ukuba angayenza na. Wayeza kuthatha umlinganiswa, abhale uMnu Fine, kwaye ayidlale ngokwenyani, axhokonxe impendulo aze ayiphendule ayenze ngendlela eyiyo-ngaphandle kokuvumela abanye abantu ukuba, imeko yokucinga kukaYohane.
Njengomdlali weqonga, iiCassavete zazinemfesane kwaye zingaphazamisi kangako-ukuba wayeza kuza emva kweminyaka eli-10, ngewayenze imali eninzi edlala amarhamncwa amabi asentshona eItali. Njengendoda, wayeyiproteni, esazi zonke iintlobo zezinto malunga nazo zonke iintlobo zezifundo. Haskell Wexler, owayesebenza Ubuso okwethutyana, uxela ukuba bekufana nokusebenza kwifilimu ngephedi yomzobo, xa umzobi enoluvo lokuba ifilimu imele ukuba yintoni, kodwa akazi ukuba makasebenzise usiba okanye ayenze le nxalenye inde. Uya kuzama ukunganyanzeli umbono wakhe kunye nethemba lokuba abadlali banokuyiphucula kwaye bandise kuyo ngokuhlaziya, ngaphandle kokubazisa ngento awayecinga ngayo. Baza kuzama ukumkholisa kwaye wayenethemba lokuba kuya kuphuma ngcono kunokuba wayecinga.
Inkqubo yeCassavete-uthotho lwezinto eziphuculweyo ezisekwe kulwandlalo olucothayo oluthi ngokuthe ngcembe luguquke lube luhlobo lweskripthi-kubonakala ngathi yipateni kaMike Leigh, nangona iimovie zikaMnu. Leigh zinetyala elingaphezulu kakhulu kwisakhiwo esineempawu ezintathu kuneCassavetes '. Indlela yomntu wonke yokungena echibini (Yenza iimpazamo, wayekhe waqhwaba uPatti Lupone, yeka ukulumka) yinto echasene nenkqubo yeHollywood eyakhiwe kakhulu, yiyo loo nto kungamangalisi ukuba iifilimu zeCassavete zibetha ngempama ebusweni , kunye nokukhetha okunokujika kwi-surreal.
Ukuqala kwam ukubona Umfazi ophantsi kwempembelelo , Bendicinga ukuba ndibona izinto ezingekhoyo; omnye wabafana kwiqela labakhi likaPeter Falk wayejongeka njengoLeon (Daddy Wags) Wagner, umIndiya waseCleveland odlalayo kwiminyaka yoo-1960 owayephumile emehlweni. Kwaye, ngoThixo, yiyo wayenjalo Utata Wags! Nawuphi na umntu angaphonsa iimbaleki ezibalaseleyo ngexabiso legama, kodwa zishiyele iCassavete ukuze iphose umntu ophakathi- mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba wayethanda izidlele zeTartar zikaWagner.
I-biographie kaMnu. Fine ngokuyintloko ibuntatheli, kodwa ayinakulinganiswa, ikakhulu ngenxa yokuba iGena Rowlands enkulu-esebenzayo kuMarlene Dietrich ukuya kwindoda-neo-realist von Sternberg-ayizukuthetha naye; ngokunjalo nabantwana babo abathathu. Usapho lwenze, nangona kunjalo, luxelele abanye ukuba bangadliwanondlebe, ke into oyifumanayo sisityuwa esityebileyo se-anecdote malunga nendlela ezenziwa ngayo iifilimu, kodwa incinci malunga nobomi obabuphembelela umsebenzi.
Ngelinye ixesha, uMnu Fine uthetha ukuba iiCassavete kungenzeka ukuba zazingaphantsi komyeni ogqibeleleyo. Akacacisi ukuba olu lwazi luvela phi, kodwa ayisiyiyo into enkulu yokutsiba ukungathembeki kwindoda esinike amadoda-abantwana abangxolayo Amadoda (1970).
Iicassavete zisweleke zisencinci — zineentloni ezingama-60 — ngo-1989. Wayesulelwa sisifo sokudumba kwesibindi ngo-1967, kwaye wayehlala eyinto nje yotywala — kude kube sekupheleni, wayehlisa ibhotile yevodka ngosuku, engakhange abonakale enxilile . I-Cirrhosis yahlala ngeenyawo zombini kwaye yaphazamisa isisu sayo. Oogqirha bamnika intetho yokuza ku-Yesu, kwaye wayeka ukusela utywala obandayo, kodwa ngelo xesha kwakusele kudlulile.
Ndiyathandana ngomsebenzi wakhe: Ndiyayithanda ingcinga kaJohn Cassavetes ngaphezu kwamava okubukela iifilimu. Unyanzelisa ukunconywa ngokuzimisela kwakhe ukuba abe yeyona Cassavete anokuba yiyo, nokuba oko kugqitywa kungena kwindlela yokuxabisa ngokupheleleyo bonke abantu bakhe abanesithukuthezi ebumnyameni.
Ndicinga ukuba Umfazi ophantsi kwempembelelo yenye yeemovie ezimbalwa zaseMelika ezifanelekileyo ukuma ecaleni kukaIngmar Bergman Ekwindla Sonata kwaye Iimpawu zoMtshato -Umgangatho wegolide weemovie ezimalunga nokugqobhoza usapho. Oko kwathethi, sele ukubonile Umfazi ophantsi kwempembelelo kabini, andinakucinga ukuyibona kwakhona-iyadinisa kakhulu, ikhupha kakhulu, inde kakhulu. Yeyiphi, ndibona nje iiCassave zisitsho ngeyona nto ayithandayo, yeyona nto.
Indoda ayivumi kusela iziselo. Ukuba awukuthandi ukutsha, hlala kude.
