UMalaki Kirby njengoKunta Kinte kunye no-Emayatzy Corinealdi njengo-Belle.Steve Dietl / IMBALI Ewe bendisoyika. Yinto eyoyikisayo ukubuyisa esinye seziganeko zikamabonwakude eziyimpumelelo ngalo lonke ixesha. NguMark Wolper lo uthetha ngokuvelisa inguqulelo entsha yolungiselelo lomhlaba, Iingcambu .
Ngokusekwe ku-Alex Haley we-1976 inoveli , Iingcambu: I-Saga yoSapho lwaseMelika ; la manqaku aqala ukusasazwa ngaphezu kobusuku obusibhozo obulandelelanayo ngo-1977. Ibalisa ibali lolutsha lwaseAfrika uKunta Kinte, owaziswa eMelika ukuba abe likhoboka, kunye nezizukulwana ezizayo zosapho lwakhe njengoko belwela inkululeko. Ukuthatha i-Emmy ezininzi ekhaya, iGlobal Globe kunye neMbasa yePeabody, uthotho lusabambe iirekhodi zokulinganisa zeNielsen ezininzi.
Uyise kaMark Wolper, uDavid Wolper, wavelisa uthotho lwantlandlolo.
UWolper omncinci wayesazi ukuba kuya kufuneka enze uhlobo olutsha lwala manqaku emva kokuba nexesha elinzima lokufumana unyana wakhe oneminyaka eli-16 ukuba awubukele. Kwakunzima kakhulu ukugcina ingqalelo yakhe. Emva kokuba iphelile wathi, 'Kulungile Tata, ndiyasiqonda isizathu sokuba oku kubalulekile, kodwa kufana nomculo wakho, awuthethi nam nje.' Ngalo mzuzu ndaye ndazi ukuba kutheni kufuneka sikwenze oku. Akukho mntu uza kubuya umva ayibukele- ineminyaka engama-40 kwaye ikhangeleka ngathi yeyomhla kakhulu, iyacotha, ayiveliswanga kwinqanaba eliphezulu eliveliswa kumabonakude namhlanje ndaye ndayazi ukuba ifuna ukuphinda yenziwe.
Sinezinto ezimbini esiziphendulileyo- nokuba, 'oh nkosi yam, uyayenza ingcambu, yinto entle ukuba ndizibandakanye njani,' okanye ngokuchaseneyo ngokupheleleyo - 'akunjalo, andiyichukumisi le nto.'
Ngaphandle koloyiko oluthile, uWolper uthathe isigqibo sokuba athathe iprojekthi. Kulapho ndathi, 'Shit, kuya kufuneka ndibhukuqe ndize ndoyike uloyiko lwam lokuhamba kwisithunzi sikabawo kwaye ndoyike uloyiko lokuzama ukubuyisa esinye seziganeko zeTV eziphumelele kakhulu ngalo lonke ixesha kwaye ndenze nje.'
Ukuqhuba ibhola eqengqelekayo, uWolper wafikelela kumdlali ophambili ukusuka kowokuqala. U-LeVar Burton, owayedlala uKunta Kinte phantse amashumi amane eminyaka eyadlulayo, ekuqaleni wayechasene nokuthatha inxaxheba kule projekthi, Kodwa ke ndaye ndamxelela ngonyana wam nokuba kutheni kufuneka sikwenzile kwaye watshintsha ingqondo kwimizuzwana engama-30, utshilo uWolper
Ngokuthatha inxaxheba kukaBurton, uWolper uyacacisa, bendicinga ukuba kubalulekile ukuba nonxibelelwano ngokweemvakalelo kunye nokuqala kwaye ujonge into eyenziwa nguLeVar emva kokuba Iingcambu ; waqala [uthotho] Ukufunda umnyama kwaye ube ngutitshala. Ndifuna umntu onje njengeqabane lam kule nto. Bendisazi ukuba anganceda ukuguqulela ibali kubaphulaphuli banamhlanje kwaye enze ukuba lifundise ngokunjalo.
Ngokubhekisele kwabanye abadlali ababonakala kuhlobo olutsha, uWolper uthi kwakungekho ndawo iphakathi xa kufikwa ekubeni bathathe inxaxheba okanye bangakwenzi oko. Sibe nesinye sempendulo ezimbini- nokuba, 'oh nkosi yam, uyenza Iingcambu , yinto entle ukuba ndizibandakanya njani, 'okanye into echaseneyo ngokupheleleyo - ‘akunjalo, andiyichukumisi le nto.’ Kwakukho abambalwa abathi akukho ndlela emva koko sathetha nabo kuyo, kodwa yayimbalwa leyo.
[Inkwenkwezi uMalaki Kirby] eneneni wayenoluhlobo lokuwa ngokweemvakalelo kwiseti kuba wayehambisa iintlungu kakhulu, kodwa uLeVar [uBurton] wayekhona kwaye wamnceda ngokwenene.
UWolper uthi abanye babadlali bakhe bafunda imvelaphi kwaye ngelixa abanye bengafuni ukubuyela kuyo kuba befuna ukuyenza eyabo. Babengafuni kukhetha bade bakubone. Ndibaxelele ukuba bazikhethele nokuba bazoyibukela okanye bangayibukeli.
Ohamba phambili kule nguqulelo, uMalaki Kirby, uphuma eLondon kwaye uxelele uWolper ukuba xa wayesemncinci, abantwana esikolweni sakhe babeza kumbiza 'Kunta Kinte' ngendlela ethoba isidima kwaye ngeloxesha wayengazi ukuba ngubani . Emva kwexesha ebomini bakhe umama wakhe wamjonga ukuba abukele eyokuqala Iingcambu kwaye waqonda ukuba uKunta ligorha kwaye ligorha lokwenyani kwaye litshintshe yonke into kuye, ucacisa uWolper.
Esinye seziganeko ezibaluleke kakhulu kolu ngcelele senzeka xa inkosi yakhe, ngokujonga ngokupheleleyo amanye amakhoboka kunye nosapho, ibetha uKunta. Eso siganeko ngokukodwa sasinzima kuKirby, kodwa wafumana isikhokelo kumthombo wolwazi kakhulu, ucacisa uWolper. UMalaki eneneni wayenohlobo lokuwa ngokweemvakalelo kwiseti kuba wayehambisa iintlungu kakhulu, kodwa uLeVar wayekhona kwaye wamnceda ngokwenene kuyo. Kwakunzima kakhulu xa sasidubula loo nto, kodwa kwakuchukumisa kakhulu ukubona la madoda mabini esebenza kunye ukubalisa eli bali ngokuchanekileyo. Ndicinga ukuba abaphulaphuli bazakubona ukuba uMalaki ubeke yonke into-intliziyo yakhe yonke kunye nomphefumlo-kuyo yonke loo nto, kanye njengoko enzile kulo lonke uthotho.
UWolper uyazi ukuba kunokubakho inxenye yabaphulaphuli abahlekisa ngeCaucasian ebalisa ibali lembali emnyama, kwaye kule nto athi, andithethi ngeli bali. Ndixelela ibali lika-Alex Haley kwimithombo yolwazi ayibonisileyo, kwaye ndifuna ukuba abantu bazi ukuba ndifumana eli lifa kubambiswano olwenziwa ngu-Alex notata kwiminyaka engama-45 eyadlulayo. Uba ngutata wam kum kwaye ngenxa yoko ndizama ukugcina eli bali linamandla, lihamba liphile kwisizukulwana esitsha.
Ndiyazi ukuba kukho abantu abathi, ‘ndibone eyokuqala, andifuni ukuyibona kwakhona.’ Ewe, ewe, uyakwenza oko, kuba kufuneka ukhumbule ukuba libaluleke kangakanani eli bali.
Ubukhulu bomsebenzi babonakala kuWolper xa wayeqala iprojekthi, kodwa indlela ekunzima ngayo kwimveliso yayiye yamothusa. Xa uthatha ukuzama ukuhlala kwinto enkulu kangaka, kuya kufuneka uphume uphume. Yonke into kufuneka ibe yeyona ilungileyo inokuba yiyo - iskripthi, abadlali, abalawuli, yonke into. Oko akukho lula. Awunakuze nje uthi, ‘kulungile kulungile ngokwaneleyo.’ Yonke into ibifanele ukuba yeyona ilungileyo, kungenjalo kutheni isihogo bendisenza kwakhona?
Ukufezekisa oku, uWolper uthathe indlela eyahlukileyo yokuvelisa iziqendu ezine zoluhlu. Saqesha abalawuli beefilimu abane kwisithuba seeyure ezimbini kwaye sabaxelela ukuba bazenzele eyabo ifilimu. Sibaxelele ukuba akufuneki ukuba zihambelane nabanye. Khange sibabuze nokuba bajongane umsebenzi womnye nomnye. Sasifuna nje ukuba benze into cinematic kakhulu. Ke, zonke iziqendu zahluke kakhulu kwisitayile, kodwa ziyahambelana kuba zonke zibandakanya imixholo yoluhlu- usapho kunye namandla.
UWolper uyazi ukuba indlela yoqobo Iingcambu Ukutyiwa, xa bekukho kuphela uthungelwano losasazo olwenzelwe abaphulaphuli ukuba bakhethe kulo, yayiyinto enesiphene kwaye akukho ndlela yakuphindaphindwa. Ndiye ndacinga ngaloo nto kakhulu. Ndiyazi ukuba akukho mntu uza kuyibukela njengakuqala, ayizukufumana abaphulaphuli ababanzi ababenayo ngelo xesha, kodwa ngenxa yemidiya yoluntu kunye nawo onke amaqonga ahlukeneyo ngoku, ndicinga ukuba izakuphuma kwaye inokuba emva koko fikelela kubaphulaphuli abanokuba bakhulu kwaye babanzi ngokuhamba kwexesha.
Eyona njongo yale projekthi kukungayigxothi eyantlandlolo, kodwa kukusebenzisa ukuvela kwetekhnoloji kunye nokwandiswa kwamabali ukwazisa isizukulwana esitsha kwinxalenye ebalulekileyo yembali yaseMelika, utshilo uWolper. Ndiyazi ukuba kukho abantu abathi, ‘ndibone eyokuqala, andifuni ukuyibona kwakhona.’ Ewe, ewe, uyakwenza oko, kuba kufuneka ukhumbule ukuba libaluleke kangakanani eli bali. Kwaye, kufuneka uyibukele nabantwana bakho. Eyokuqala Iingcambu yayiyeyona nto ibalaseleyo ngexesha layo, ngoku senze entsha ibe yeyona ilungileyo namhlanje. Kwaye, ukuba umntu, kwiminyaka engamashumi amane, uziva ukuba kufuneka iphinde yenzeke kwisizukulwana esilandelayo, ndilungile, kodwa ngoku, ngalo mzuzu, nceda wenze ixesha lokuthatha le nto. eyomeleleyo, ekhathaza intliziyo, ibali elihle ekufuneka wonke umntu alibone.
Iingcambu umoya ngaphezulu kobusuku obulandelelanayo ukuqala ngoMvulo, Meyi 30thngo-9 / 8c kwiChannel yeMbali.
