I-Iraq-Set 'Backstabbing for Beginners' icekeceke kakhulu ngolwazi ukuze yenze ukuqonda

Ukuhlala e-Iraq kodwa kwafota eMorocco ngeBaghdad edlalwa yiToronto, iCopenhagen kunye neCasablanca, eneenkwenkwezi kumlingisi wase-Bhritane ozenza umntu waseMelika, kunye nomlawuli ovela eDenmark, Ukubuyela emva kwabaqalayo yinto eyonakeleyo. Umdla wobomi bokwenyani wezopolitiko malunga ne-doin kumabhodlo olawulo lobuzwilakhe lukaSaddam Hussein phakathi kokuphela kweMfazwe yaseGulf kunye nokubulawa kwakhe ngo-2006, egxile kwisikhalazo sango-2002 esatyhila ukuba iibhiliyoni zeedola zibiwe kwinkqubo yezoncedo yeZizwe eziManyeneyo ebizwa ngokuba Ukutya-i-oyile-yokutya, kubandakanya ulwaphulo-mthetho olwenziwa ngaphakathi ngaphakathi kangangokuba bekuya kuba nzima ukuluqonda naphantsi kwazo naziphi na iimeko, kodwa le filimu yeyokukrwela entlokweni kunokuba ifuna ukuba njalo.

I-movie engenakwenzeka ye-movie-entle engenakwenzeka u-Theo James, owazalelwa eBritane kwaye efuna isikhundla njenge-Hollywood hunk onokuphinda asebenze, iinkwenkwezi njengo-Michael Sullivan, igama elingu-plomat-wajika-intatheli uMichael Soussan, opapashe iimemo zakhe kwifilimu esekwe. Ngo-2002 wayengumntu oneminyaka engama-24 ubudala owayeqeshwe yi-UN njengomncedisi kaPasha, igqala lika-Undersecretary General ophethe inkqubo ye-oyile yokutya kunye nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lwe- $ 10 yezigidigidi. Ngaphandle kwento yokuba utata kaMichael, usosiphathamandla ohlonitshwayo, wabulawa kwibhombu yozakuzo yase-US xa uMichael wayeneminyaka emihlanu ubudala, ufuna ukulandela ekhondweni lakhe, enqula inkumbulo katata wakhe. Kuba udadewabo naye utshatile kwigosa likarhulumente, idiplomacy yinxalenye yosapho lwe-DNA, ke umsebenzi we-UN liphupha elizalisekayo alibona njengethuba lokunikezela ngekhondo lakhe lokunceda abantu kunye nokusindisa umhlaba. Akanalo nofifi ngokoyikekayo okuzayo.

Ngosuku lwakhe lokuqala emsebenzini, uPasha (Ben Kingsley) umthumela e-Iraq ukuba abhale ingxelo efanelekileyo kwiBhunga lezoKhuseleko eliya kuthi ligcine inkqubo yeOyile-for-Food iqhubeka. Phantse kwangoko, ufike kwiprofayili yakhe entle kwezopolitiko nakubungozi basemzimbeni, efunda izinto uPasha angamxelelanga zona, kubandakanya nokukrokrela ukuba owayemandulele, owasweleka kwingozi yemoto, wayelixhoba lokudlala kakubi. I-CIA imazisa ukuba inkqubo yeOyile-yokuTya iyonakaliswa ngamayelenqe amakhulu eebhanki, usomashishini kunye nabezopolitiko kubandakanya uSaddam Hussein, iMafia, kunye noPasha ngokwakhe.

Kwindima encinci, echithiweyo, uJacqueline Bisset wenza ukubonakala okungaqhelekanga njengoMlawuli we-UN wengingqi owaziyo okwenzekayo, uyagula bubuxoki, kwaye uzimisele ukuthetha inyani malunga nokuba kutheni le nkqubo isilela. Ungumqobo kwindlela kaPasha yokusenga inkqubo yeenzuzo kumayeza nakwizibonelelo, kwaye ukhuthaza uMichael ukuba amtshabalalise.

Ingxelo ye-labyrinthine enobudlelwane obuntsonkothileyo obuninzi kakhulu ukugcina umkhondo, kwaye xa uMichael eshiye ngasemva eBaghdad ukuphanda ngakumbi, into ayifumanayo kukulawula koloyiko olubandakanya ukungcungcuthekiswa, imigodi yomhlaba, iibhombu ezisebenzisanayo, igesi yemithambo-luvo kunye nokubulawa kwabantu ngemichiza. Imithwalo emikhulu yolwazi esasazwe kuyo yonke indawo akusoloko kulula ukuyilandela, kwaye siqwalasele lonke urhwaphilizo, izithintelo, ukuphathwa gadalala kukarhulumente, ukunyoba, ulwaphulo mthetho kwintengiso yabantsundu kunye nabantu abafayo, ukuthandana phakathi kukaMichael kunye netoliki yakhe entle, ojika ube ngumhlola waseKurdish ofuna indawo yokukhosela eNew York, kubonakala ngathi kukugcwalisa okungafunekiyo.

Akumangalisi kakhulu xa iqhawe lifunda ukuba lilungu leyelenqe kwihlabathi liphela apho umphathi wakhe ingumkhohlisi omkhulu, okanye engqina idiploma (njengayo yonke enye into kwezi ntsuku) ayisenguye loo nto ibiyiyo. UTheo James unenkangeleko, ubuchule kunye noluhlu lweqonga elisecicini lokuphakama, kwaye uBen Kingsley ufakela uburharha kwindima yakhe njenge-master villain, kodwa isicatshulwa (ngumlawuli uPer Fly noDaniel Pyne, obhalileyo Umgqatswa waseManchurian) ixinene kakhulu ngolwazi olu luvakala ngathi yimibhalo esemazantsi yembali. Zininzi izimvo ezijikelezayo ngaphakathi Ukubuyela emva kwabaqalayo ezingaze zisonjululwe, kwaye uninzi lwabalinganiswa abaphindiweyo olungacaciswanga ngokwanelisayo, ukuba isiphelo sisiphumo sokudideka kunye nobundlobongela obunokuphelisa ikamva lezokhenketho eBaghdad ngonaphakade.
