Abathathu kwabasixhenxe abafutshane bajinga phezu kwe-Snow White eleleyo kwi-Disney ye-1938 ye-animated classic, eyoyikisa iintliziyo zababhali uJ.R.R. Tolkien kunye no-CS Lewis.Youtube
Ukunikwa ithuba, ii-nerds zefantasy (mna phakathi kwabo) ziya kuxoxa malunga nayo nayiphi na into, ngakumbi ukuba isihloko sivela kwinto yoqobo ugqibelele Imithombo yolwazi iguqulwe yaba lulwabiwo olunyelisayo ngabantu abakhohlisayo. Yiloo nto kanye ecebe iyelenqe xa i-OG godfather's geek J.R.R. Ithuba ( INkosi yeeRingi kunye no-CS Lewis ( IziKronike zaseNarnia ) bahlangana kunye nomhla womdlalo bhanyabhanya ngo-1938 ukuze babone umboniso bhanyabhanya weWalt Disney Ikhephu elimhlophe, Ngokwengxelo evela IAtlas Obscura . Kodwa imicimbi yabo nge-Disney yosapho olunobuhlobo ukuphinda ubalise malunga neentsomi ze-Brothers Grimm zazingekho kwimigca yeqhinga lokungathembeki. Endaweni yokuba ababhali babini bathathe umba onobuzaza ngefilimu yoopopayi ngokubanzi kwaye ngokukodwa ukubonakaliswa kwezimfama, ezazicaphukisa esi sibini kangangokuba uLewis wabuza iimeko zokukhuliswa kukaDisney kwaye uTolkien waphantse waphosa.
U-Lewis wayenomsindo emva kokubona Ikhephu elimhlophe lonto uzibeke ephepheni iingcinga zakhe, wabhala lo myalezo ulandelayo eya kumhlobo wakhe u-A.K. UHamilton:
Amantshontsho afanele ukuba mabi ngokuqinisekileyo, kodwa hayi ngaloo ndlela. Kwaye ipati yejazz yemifuziselo yayintle kakhulu. Ndicinga ukuba akuzange kwenzeke kwi-boob ehluphekileyo ukuba ungabanika naluphi na uhlobo lomculo. Kodwa zonke izinto ezothusayo zilungile, kwaye izilwanyana zihamba ngokwenene: kwaye ukusetyenziswa kwezithunzi (zezinambuzane kunye namaxhalanga) yayiyingqondo yokwenyani. Ngekungenakwenzeka ntoni ukuba le ndoda ibifundisiwe- okanye ikhulele kwindawo enesidima?
Masiyiqhekeze loo nto. U-Lewis wacinga ukuba amancinci kufuneka abemabi, kodwa angabi mabi… amnandi? Kwaye inyani yokuba iDisney igqibe kwelokuba iyeke iminjana esixhenxe yehle ifomu yasimahla yomculo yohlobo lwejazz olucaphukisa uLewis ngenxa yokuba uDisney engakhange aqwalasele ii-symphony zikaMozart kuqala? UHeigh Ho Kuya kufuneka ukuba uyifumene ngenene iinzwane zakhe emva koko. Kodwa wayepholile nazo zonke izinto ezoyikisayo, ezinengqiqo kuba amabali ayinyani kaMzalwana uGrimm amnyama kakhulu. Phakathi kokubiza iDisney nge-boob kunye nokuphosa ukumba esikolweni sakhe, uLewis utyhila ukuba yena (njengabanye bethu abanomdla) ukhathazekile ngokuchaneka xa kufikwa ekubuyiseleni ngaphezulu kwayo yonke enye into.
Ukurekhoda, Narnia abantu abancinci abancinci: abomvu abomvu, amnyama amnyama, amarhamncwa amnyama kwaye masingakulibali uTrumpkin, oboniswe ngu Imidlalo yeethrone 'UPeter Dinklage kumdlalo bhanyabhanya osebenzayo ngo-2008 IziKronike zaseNarnia: INkosana uCaspian . Kodwa ngexa uLewis wayekhe wamgxeka uDisney ngokunika amantombazanana akhe edumbile, enxilile, enobuso obuhlekisayo, uLewis 'wayengenguye wonke umntu owahlukileyo kwiinkcazo zabo zoncwadi. Babebancinci kunabantu, babedlala iindevu kwaye babengamagcisa aluncedo. Isandi kwaye ujongeka uqhelekile? 
Kwimeko apho ubuzibuza ukuba injani injani yokwenyani. UJohn Rhys-Davies njengoGimli kuPeter Jackson INkosi yeeRingi .Youtube
Kwelinye icala, ukuthatha kuka-Tolkien kwimifuziselo kwahlukile ngenene-waze walipela igama ngokwahlukileyo: mncinci. KuMbindi-mhlaba, ama-dwarves ayengamagorha anamandla kunye nabasebenzi basezimayini abahloniphekileyo abenza iidolophu ezinkulu zangaphantsi komhlaba basebenza ngesinyithi esixabisekileyo. Kodwa, kwakhona, zazimfutshane kwaye zinesiqu, zazineendevu ezinde, kwaye ngokukodwa amadoda ayebaninzi kakhulu amabhinqa. Kodwa u-Tolkien wafaka izidalwa zakhe zasentsomini kunye ne-gravitas kunye nokuthatha inxaxheba kuka-Gimli kwi-Fellowship of the Ring kwabenza baba ngamanani aphakathi kwi-epic trilogy yakhe. Ngawaphi amagama okhetho awayenawo uTolkien emva kokubona iGrumpy, Sleepy, Dopey, et. al. Kwisikrini? Ukubhalela uLewis, uTolkien wabiza umsebenzi kaDisney ukuba ombi, kwaye kamva kwiimbalelwano neYunivesithi yaseStanford uJ.L. Curry wakhalaza esithi ubugcisa bomenzi wefilimu bonakele ngokungenathemba kwaye wambiza ngokuba ngumkhohlisi. Nangona uninzi 'lwemifanekiso' eqhubeka kwizitudiyo zakhe kukho iindinyana ezithandekayo okanye ezithandekayo, ifuthe lazo zonke liyandonyanyisa. Abanye bandinike isicaphucaphu…, wabhala uTolkien.
UTolkien wade wasebenzisa igama likaDisney njengendlela yokuthuka xa esala iinguqulelo zomsebenzi wakhe, njengoko wenzayo xa umculi waseBritane uHorus Engels ezama ukuzoba abalinganiswa IHobbit. Undithumelele imizekeliso (yeTrolls kunye neGollum) ethi ngaphandle kokufaneleka, njengokulindela isiJamani, ndiyoyika na 'Ukuzibandakanya' kukhetho lwam: UBilbo onempumlo ejijekileyo, kunye noGandalf njengomfanekiso ubumnandi obungcolileyo endaweni yokuhambahamba kukaOdinic endicinga…, utshilo uTolkien kwi ileta eya kumpapashi wayo .
Ke umdali wabakhi abakhulu bomhlaba ophakathi ucinga ntoni malunga nokuba uRalph Balski wajika wajika INkosi yeeRingi kwifilimu yoopopayi eneenkwenkwezi ezingoopopayi ngo-1978, kwiminyaka nje embalwa emva kokubhubha kombhali. Inguqulelo kaBakshi kaGimli ngokuqinisekileyo yayingeyonto ecekeceke njengeDisney, kwaye wayengathandanga ukuqalisa ukucula emigodini, kodwa emva koko kwakhona umlingisi uJohn Rhys-Davies obonisa umlingiswa kwiifilimu zikaPeter Jackson ezaziphila rhoqo Umthombo woncedo lwamahlaya (okhumbula ukuba akukho mntu uphonsa into encinci!) Kwelinye icala elibi kakhulu, elinento yokwenza.
Mamela, uTolkien noLewis-njengababhali bezinye zeengcinga zefilosofi ezazinempembelelo kuwo onke amaxesha-babenelungelo lokufumana izimvo zabo. Kanye njengokuba mna, njengentombazana eyaziwayo eyaziwayo, ndiphakathi kwamalungelo am okubuza ukungabikho kwamakhwenkwe amancinci kwihlabathi labo bobathathu abafundi. Masilibale malunga nokuba uDopey wayejongeka ngathi uyabhabha okomzuzwana kwaye axoxe ngento yokuba xa uGimli ethetha ngalo mbandela IiTowers ezimbini i-monologue ithi amakhwenkwe amancinci ngokusisiseko ajongeka njengamadoda amancinci kwaye yiyo loo nto abantu becinga ukuba azikho . Oko kubonakala njengenkcukacha ebaluleke ngakumbi yokwakha umhlaba ekufanele ukuxoxwa ngayo.
