UGenius oBangela 'uGenius'

Kunqabile kwezi ntsuku ukubona umboniso bhanya-bhanya othe ngenene ngento endizifumana ndizijongile iimpazamo zayo ukubulela ukufezekiswa kwayo. Ifilimu enjalo Ubuchule, Ibali eliyinyani lokufunda, eliqaqambe kakuhle nelingena ngaphakathi lomhleli wodumo uMaxwell Perkins, onombono nothando loncwadi olubhalwe ngepensile ebomvu uF. Scott Fitzgerald, u-Ernest Hemingway kunye noThomas Wolfe kubuqaqawuli boncwadi. Iyacotha kwaye inoncwadi olunomthi othuliweyo rhoqo woxinzelelo lweXesha loxinzelelo olukhangeleka ngathi lungqongqo kwisenzo semovie eshukumayo ekhawulezayo. Kodwa isandi, umdlalo ocacileyo kaJohn Logan, iseti yemidlalo engacaciswanga yinkwenkwezi yeenkwenkwezi ekhokelwa nguColin Firth, uJude Law, uNicole Kidman, uGuy Pearce kunye noLaura Linney kunye nolwalathiso olunzulu nguMichael Grandage, iBritish theatre sensation entsha Ukusuka kulawulo lwakhe lotshintsho njengomlawuli wezobugcisa kwiDonmar Warehouse yaseLondon, yazise kwaye uyiphakamise ngaphezulu nangaphaya kwenqanaba eliqhelekileyo lefomula yokwenza ifilimu. UColin Firth ubalasele njengesigulana, engalalanisi kunye noMax Perkins, kunye nokusebenza ngokuqhushumba kukaJude Law njengezilwanyana zasendle, ezingalindelekanga kunye nezoyikisayo uThomas Wolfe yenye yezona mpumelelo zibalaseleyo zomsebenzi wakhe. Ndandi spellbound.

Nangona uMax Perkins wakhokela inani lezibane zoncwadi eluzukweni, Ubuchule igxile kubudlelwane bakhe bobuqu kunye nobungcali kunye nomlobi ovuthayo, ongalawulekiyo novukelayo waseNyakatho Carolina kunye nombhali uThomas Wolfe, onomsebenzi wokungcakaza awuhlangule kwimfumba yemibhalo yesandla engacelwanga ngo-1929 (emva kokuba umbhali enqatshelwe ngumshicileli waseNew York), ihlelwe kabuhlungu kwaye yapapashwa kwiScribner's ukuze iqhubele phambili ngeedola ezili-100. Uninzi lwefilimu luyayinciphisa iminyaka yokuphazamiseka kwentsebenziswano eyalandela isosi entle eneembono ezinqabileyo kuphela kwimpembelelo yomhleli kwi-Fitzgerald (U-Guy Pearce onxilisayo) no-bombastic, u-Hemingway (eDominic West) ozibulalayo, ebuyisela ukubaluleka kwabo ngasemva izitofu ngelixa iWolfe enokutsha ibile. Ifilimu ibonisa ngokucacileyo ukuba uMax uncede njani ekubumbeni isitayile esilawulayo Yexesha noMlambo (IHemingway yayibiza ngokuba yi-crap) kwaye Jonga ekhaya, Angel, ukucebisa ukuba umhleli ubhale yonke imiqolo yayo. Ezona zimvo zifanele ukubhalwa malunga nazo ziingcamango ezinkulu, utshilo uWolfe, kwaye uMax wamkhuthaza ukuba azilandele ngokwakhe iprozi yakhe engathandekiyo, yokukhohlisa elingana neProust. Kodwa ekusebenzeni kukaJude Law ngokugqithileyo, uWolfe akanguye umbhali ozolileyo, oqinisekileyo waseMelika endihlala ndicinga njalo. Ungxola, uyangxola kwaye unikwe imiqondiso emikhulu, ebetha izihlahla zakhe ngokuphelelwa lithemba umzuzu omnye, edubula njengeVesuvius elandelayo. Untsonkothe ​​ngakumbi kunenani lababhali benkulungwane yama-20-abanesidubedube nokuhlukunyezwa, ukusela nokugabha, ukuhenyuza nokungakwazi kothando, ukubona ubomi kwintlekele engapheliyo. Ngokwahlukileyo, uMax Perkins wayeyindoda yosapho eneentombi ezintlanu kunye nomonde ongenamda (uyilo lokuqala lwe Yexesha noMlambo yayingama-5 000 amaphepha abhalwe ngesandla ngaphambi kokuba awanqunqe ngonaphakade, angalibalekiyo). Ngelixa umthetho uqhuba, uFirth uzibhaptiza ngenyameko njengesixhobo sokutshaya imibhobho kwindawo yakhe eneofisi yeSribner. Yimbonakalo enqabileyo ebomini nasengqondweni yendoda enetalente yokusika iintaba zokuqengqeleka kweprozi ibe yipark, ubufutshane obuchanekileyo, igama ngelizwi, umgca ngomgca. Ekugqibeleni, nguye kuphela umntu emhlabeni uThomas Wolfe owake wamthanda ngokwenene, kwaye ileta yakhe yokuvalelisa iyabuhlungu. Ifilimu ibonisa, ngokweenkcukacha ezidinisayo, ifuthe la madoda mabini abenalo omnye komnye; ayisiyiyo nje kuphela ingqondi kaWolfe kodwa ikwangunobungcali obusemva kobukrelekrele.

Ikwabonisa intlungu kunye nokuzithemba okungathandabuzekiyo kukaFitzgerald, ejongene nokusithwa kwelanga emva kokwehluleka kwezorhwebo Igatsby enkulu kunye nokuphelelwa kwakhe lithemba ngenxa yokuhla kukaZelda waya kwimpambano. Kunzima ukucinga ukuba wathi kuMax, ndiza kukubhalela incwadi enkulu, kwaye uMax uyaphendula, ndiyazi, okanye ukuba uHemingway uphunga, Wayengoyena mbhali ubalaseleyo endakha ndamazi-ngoku akanakho ukubopha umtya wesihlanu izivakalisi kunye. Kodwa ngenxa yokuhamba kukaGuy Pearce, izigcawu zakhe kunye noMax zezona zityhila umvakalisi ngokuncinci njengengqondo yokufunda kwaye ngakumbi njengomntu wokwenyani ochukunyiswe bubuthathaka bomntu. Ndiphakamise ishiya xa uWolfe ekhala, Isihogo kunye noFlaubert noHenry James. Yiba ngowokuqala! Blaze iindlela ezintsha! kwaye uthelekisa ifomu yakhe yasimahla kunye namanqaku aphuculweyo eemvumi zejazz. (Mhlawumbi uthetha uHarry James!)

Ukujikeleza amadangatye kwiindima ezixhasayo nguLaura Linney njengoNkosikazi kaMax ozinikeleyo kunye noNicole Kidman njengo-Aline Bernstein, umfazi otshatileyo onabantwana abakhulileyo owancama ubomi bakhe bokuhlala ixesha elide, lokuzenzakalisa kunye noWolfe osokolayo kwaye wacaphuka uMax ngokutshintsha ukubaluleka kwakhe. nefuthe ebomini bakhe. Kumlawuli ongenamava efilimu, uGrandage wenza umboniso bhanyabhanya wokuqala. Iiseti zaseNew York, ezakhiwe kwinqanaba lesandi laseLondon, eligcwele izitalato ezigcwele imvula, imivalo etshayayo, izithethi zeJazz Age kunye neebhodi zeebhodi ezichanekileyo zentshungama kaWrigley, ziyangcungcuthekisa kwaye zimibalabala kwi-patina ngenye indlela. Ubuchule Idibanisa izinto zobukrelekrele, ubugcisa be-cinematic, ubungqongqo beemvakalelo kunye nexabiso lokuzonwabisa ukwenza umfanekiso oshukumayo wobungqingqwa obuqhelekileyo kunye nengcinga.
