Kwaye imibuzo eqhubekayo yayiyinto engaqhelekanga. Ngaba umbona ungakhula ngokwemvelo eMadison Square Park ukuba uluntu belunokupheliswa, okanye ngaba uWill Smith wayeza kuwutyala apho ngokwakhe? Ngaba kufuneka ndifumane umalusi waseJamani?
Kodwa eyona nto yayixinga yile: kutheni iHollywood (kwaye, ngamanye amaxesha kubonakala ngathi, uninzi lwehlabathi lehlabathi) inomdla wokubona iSixeko saseNew York sitshatyalalisiwe?
Umboniso bhanyabhanya woyika. Eyoyikisayo kukungajongi-okwe-mnyama-kwikona-Ngaba-uSmith-kukho indlela ye-zombie osele uyazi kuyo yonke imovie eyoyikisayo ukusukela Nosferatu , kodwa ikoyikeka 'kwi-crap engcwele, nantsi indlela enokuthi yehle ngayo' uhlobo lwendlela.
Ndiyintsomi Isekwe kwincwadi kaRichard Matheson ka-1954, ebingumthombo wazo zonke iintlobo zeemovie ezothusayo zesayensi, kunye nendlela ebhaliweyo ngaphambi kokuba soyike iinqwelomoya ezibhabhela kwizakhiwo, iimfazwe zebhayoloji, kunye nezifo ezihlekisayo kodwa ezibulalayo ezifana nentaka yomkhuhlane . Kunzima ukwazi kwakhona ukuba woyike ntoni: imozulu okanye iintsholongwane. Kodwa iNew York ibonakala iyifumana nangayiphi na indlela, ngamaza alwayo aqhekeka embindini wedolophu Ngapha kwangomso okanye abaphambukeli abagqabhuka kwiipavumente kunyaka ophelileyo Imfazwe yeHlabathi (ewe, iNew Jersey, kodwa isondele ngokwaneleyo) kwaye igubungele abantu ngothuthu oluqhelekileyo olungaqondakaliyo. Kwaye kukho okungakumbi okuzayo: i-trailer kaJJ. UAbram ubhokile kakhulu ICloverfield ibonisa iSitembu seNtloko yeNkululeko siphephelwa. Kakhulu.
Isiseko se-movilete sihamba ngolu hlobo: isazinzulu (isimilo esihle, esingafakwanga ikhredithi nguEmma Thompson) sibhengeza ukuba uphilise umhlaza ngentsholongwane eyenziwe ngumntu. Ngaphandle, yhu! Intsholongwane iyatshintsha, ihambe emoyeni, kwaye abo bosuleleko batshintshe babe ngamazinyo atshixizayo, amazinyo anamehlo abomvu anomdla ongonelisiyo wenyama yomntu.
Kwiminyaka embalwa kamva-ngaphandle kukaWill Smith uRobert Neville, i-virologist yomkhosi ene-sweethouse yase-Washington Square Park kunye neqabane elimnandi le-doggie (yay, amazinga ezithuba!) - abantu abasekho. Ubuncinci, hayi njengabantu.
Zonke i-chomp-chomp-chomp zokuhlaselwa kwe-zombie ziyothusa kwimidlalo bhanyabhanya eyoyikisayo, kodwa ayisiyonto xa ithelekiswa nemvakalelo yoloyiko ehlala xa umlawuli uFrancis Lawrence ebonisa iNew York City yekamva: iyinkangala ngengca ekhulayo nangaphezulu. Iipavumente zePark Avenue, iimoto ezilahliweyo ezishiyiweyo ezitalatweni, isandi sobomi kuphela ngumhlambi weentaka ezibhabha ngaphezulu okanye imihlambi yeenyamakazi eziya kuhlasela iLexington (de umntu adliwe yingonyama, ncwina).
Eyona nto ibangela uxinzelelo ngakumbi kukubonwa kukothuka okugcweleyo, okuboniswe ngasemva, kwesona sixeko sinxungupheleyo sizama ukukhupha 'isiqithi' njengokuba intsholongwane isasazeka. Ewe, ngaba ukhona omnye umntu okhumbula usuku oluthile ngoSeptemba kungekude kakhulu xa kwakubhengezwa ukuba iManhattan iyavalwa? Ngaba kunyanzelekile ukuba kuphume into ekude ukubona iinqwelomoya zilwa neBrooklyn Bridge?
Ixesha leBhonasi yeholide: Kuyabonakala ukuba ubhubhane wafikelela kwincopho yawo ngexesha leKrisimesi, kwaye izibane ezikhanyayo eziqaqambileyo zihombisa izitrato zedolophu njengoko abantu bebaleka bephuma.
Kwiminyaka emithathu kamva, uWill Smith uzingela ukutya kunye nokuphazamiseka kwisixeko esingenamntu esihonjiswe ngemihombiso yeKrisimesi ebutofotofo kunye nedayi evela ku-auld lang syne. Owu yizani, Bazalwana bakaWarner! Njengeeholide akunzima ngokwaneleyo.
Siyabathanda abasasazi beendaba zethu ukuba bangene kwezi bhanyabhanya zikhulu zohlahlo-lwabiwo mali (Molo, Roma Torre!), Kodwa ukumamela obu buso buqhelekileyo kunika iindaba ze-apocalyptic aziziva zintle kakhulu ... Ngaphantsi, awuyazi owokuqala ukusasaza iindaba zeManhattan ezifunyanwa ziinyosi ezibulalayo okanye uhlobo olutsha lwemasisi luya kuba yi-NY1 kaPat Kiernan?
Ayiloxesha lokuba unike iBoston ithuba? Yintoni uPhilly ukuza kuthi ga kule mihla? Masinike loo Nkululeko yentsimbi. Okanye kungcono, jonga uphawu lwaseHollywood luyehla ezindulini.
