Njengoko Umjongi uqaphele kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, ILizwi zitsale amabhinqa angqingqwa ngemihlambi. I-gyno-utopia entle ese-LA apho abafazi bebethandana, bethanda ukuthandana kwaye beyithanda imisebenzi yabo, umboniso ubonelela ngohlaziyo ngokubanzi lokuxhotyiswa kwabasetyhini. Susa uninzi lwamadoda, kwaye Nantsi ! Kukho ukungavisisani kwezopolitiko nakwezentlalo okukhoyo phakathi kwabesini esahlukileyo kwaye kwenza ukuba siphilisane kakhulu.
Vula ILizwi , Abafazi babekhululekile ukuba bazule kwindawo epholileyo, echumileyo yamachibi kunye neentende, iivenkile zekofu kunye neeklabhu. Babonakala bengasebenzi. Batya isidlo sasemini kwaye basela kwaye bavuka beheha ngamehlo acocekileyo kunye neentloko zokulala.
Abasetyhini abathe tye bathanda ILizwi hayi kuba bonke befuna ukulala nohlobo lwabo (kwaye bafumane loo ntloko ibhedi ilungileyo); bebeyithanda kuba umboniso ubumalunga nabo. Inkqubo ye- L ILizwi amanenekazi kusenokwenzeka ukuba awazange asebenze nzima njengamakhosikazi omsebenzi aseNew York, kodwa xa ayesenza, yayihlala ikho kwinto enomdla, enengqondo. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba babengenabayeni okanye bantwana, kodwa ubuhlobo babo babufana nobethu ngaphezu kwamanenekazi Abahlobo okanye Isini kunye neSixeko . (Yintoni kanye ethe nca ezo Abafazi abane bedibanisile bekungasokoliswa.) Kwaye ngubani obesazi: Ukufumana abantu abathandana nabasetyhini abazizityebi nabafazi abazizityebi abathe tye babelana ngoTom Ford noMarc Jacobs.
Libala ubufanasini — ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, uL wayemele indlela yokuphila, into wonke umntu obhinqileyo anenxaxheba kuyo. Kwada kwathetha nenkululeko: Umboniso wawufuna ukuquka, ukuvula umhlaba ongaqondakaliyo nokwabelana ngawo. Yayinesibindi nentliziyo.
Kodwa njengokuba ixesha lihambile-kwaye ingoma yengoma egxekwe kakhulu idwelise zonke izinto uL anokuzimela (phila, hleka, lide, inkanuko, uthando) - ILizwi Inkcazo ikhule ngokuxinana, kangangokuba ithetha into enye: isiqhwala.
Umyalezo omkhulu wokwamkelwa kunye nokreqo ekuqaleni owawuthumela ngamandla kakhulu akuvakala. Umboniso obufuna ukutyumza iingcinga ezisoloko zisetyenziswa uzenze zomelela.
UJenny
Kwi ILizwi Ixesha lokuqala, uJenny Schecter (odlalwa ngunodoli wosana uMia Kirshner) wafudukela e-LA ukuze abenomlingane wakhe uTim (Ugly Betty's Eric Mabius), umqeqeshi okhulayo wokubhukuda ekholejini. Umbhali wamabali asakhasayo, uJenny wayengumntu owathuthumbisayo owayesebenza njengentombazana yokuphuma kwindawo yokutya (enxibe i-gingham, kunjalo). Emva kokuba ngumhlobo nabamelwane bakhe — isibini esithandana nabasetyhini uBette (uJennifer Beals) noTina (uLaurel Holloman) -uye wadibana wakhawuleza walukuhlwa ngu-Marina (Karina Lombard) owayeyintombi yase-Eurotrash.
Ukuya kuthi ga apho ILizwi ukubonelela ngolonwabo lwabasetyhini ngqo (kwaye ungenzi mpazamo, kuyenzile), yayiqala ngoJenny: othe tye wajika waba nomdla, unenjongo entle ukuba ngumntwana omtsha othe dolophu. Wayemthanda umlingane wakhe, kodwa waziva etsala kwihlabathi elitsha. Wayehamba phakathi kokufuna uMarina kunye nokufuna ukutshata. Imeko leyo yayicacile: Nokuba imeko yakhe yayimenza ukuba azikhathaze kakhulu, uJenny wakwazi ukuveza ulonwabo kunye nolonwabo lwamava ezesondo, kunye noxinzelelo, usizi, ubunzima kunye neendleko zokuba nolo lonwabo. Yakhe yayiyinyani yokwenyani, efundisayo, enomdla kunye nesilumkiso, zonke ngaxeshanye.
UTim ekugqibeleni wamlahla uJenny, kwaye ixesha lesibini lamlandela ukuphuma kwakhe, okwathi kwaba ngumzabalazo kubafazi abalala nabo-kwaye bajijisana-kunaye. UJenny, kuye kwacaca ngakumbi, ngumfazi othanda isizathu. Umnqweno wakhe wokuvutha ngumsindo wawuthandeka. Ngapha koko, ihambo engamanyala ixhaphakile ILizwi ibe ngamandla amakhulu omboniso. Ulibale ukufa kwebhedi yesini; ILizwi babonisa abantu ababhinqileyo — abakwiminyaka yama-20, yama-30, engama-40 ubudala nangaphezulu — njengezidalwa ezinamabhongo ezesini ezikhululekileyo kwizikhumba zazo.
Kodwa abadali balo mboniso bayichithile intando elungileyo athe uJenny watyabeka nabaphulaphuli. Usebenzise intombi ukuba itshintshe ibe yindoda (ngakumbi emva koko) ukwenza abanye abantu bangonwabi; Utshiza amantshontsho malunga nobufanasini ngawo onke amathuba. Wabhala ibali ENew Yorker (oh, bethu!) Leyo yayiyimbozo efihliweyo, imemo yokuziphatha malunga nabahlobo bakhe. Ulibale ukunyamezelana: Wenza kubonakale ngathi ukuphuma kuyakuguqula ube nguzwilakhe onomkhethe.
Kodwa
Bekusoloko kukho amadoda ILizwi . Umyeni kaJenny uTim wayengowokuqala; wayemhle kwaye enobubele kwaye ephathwa ngothando ngababhali balo mboniso, kwaye waba buhlungu xa waphulukana noJenny. Washiya umboniso emva kwexesha lokuqala kunye novelwano lwabaphulaphuli ikakhulu.
Ukusukela ngoko, phantse yonke indoda kumdlalo ibingumbono ongaguqukiyo. Singamxolela uMelvin Porter (ongasekhoyo u-Ossie Davis) ngokungakwazi kwakhe ukwamkela ubufanasini bentombi yakhe. Wayeyindoda yesizukulwana esahlukileyo, kwaye isimilo sakhe sasilungile. Kodwa kuthekani ngoMark, umntu ohlala naye egumbini ekwabelwana ngalo nguJenny noShane (Katherine Moennig)? Wayebonakala emhle, kodwa emva koko kwavela ukuba wayefota ngevidiyo ngokuqhubekayo kwabo kumdlalo wenene malunga namafanasini. Ngokukrakra.
Emva koko kukho uHenry. Uthandana noTina, oshiye ubudlelwane bakhe obunamatye noBette kwisizini ephelileyo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku emadodeni. Ubonakala ngathi ulungile-khange abe nomdla ogqithisileyo kwaye akagxeki malunga nembali kaTina yobungqingili-kodwa abahlobo bakhe abathe tye, abangamadoda ziicaricatures. Ekuqaleni kwale sizini, ethekweni uTina ubamba iindwendwe kumzamo wokudibanisa ihlabathi lakhe langoku nelidlulileyo, indoda egama linguBrad butts kwincoko malunga no-Angelica, Bette kunye nentombi kaTina enikela ngesidoda. Umfazi othe ngqo ethekweni ubuze uBette ukuba angathini ukuba usana lunokufuna ukuhlala notata walo umnikelayo:
UBette: Andiqondi ukuba izakwenzeka.
Mandla: Uxolo, uxolo, ndiyazi ukuba awufuni ukuba yenzeke, kodwa abantwana baneengqondo zabo, kwaye ndiqinisekile ukuba abazali bakho bakhetha ukuba awungongqingili.
UBette: Baswelekile abazali bam.
Mandla: Andiyo homophobe, uyayazi into endiyithethayo? Jonga, ukuba unyana wam ubuye ekhaya wandixelela ukuba uyisitabane, uyazi, ndiqinisekile ukuba ndiza kuza kuyo, kodwa ekuqaleni bekuya kubakho impendulo. Kwaye ndiyaxolisa-ndizama nje ukunyaniseka apha.
IBETTE: I-homophobe ethembekileyo. Imnandi njani.
Oku kukwitheko lasemva kwemini. ELos Angeles. Ngokubonakala ngathi ngabantu abafundileyo.
Ngapha koko, akukho namnye umhlobo othe ngqo kaHenry ongababoniyo abahlobo bakaTina abanomdla ongafunekiyo okanye wokucekiseka. Amantombazana akaziphathanga ngcono, nangona kunjalo. Xa uBette efika kuqala ethekweni, umhlobo wakhe u-Alice (Leisha Hailey) umbulisa ngolu hlobo lulandelayo.
UAlice: Ndiyabulela kuThixo ukuba ulapha.
Bette: yintoni?
UAlice: Ugh-abantu abathe tye.
Nditsho noAngus (Dallas Roberts), umntwana obelekelwa ngumntwana oza kuba sisithandwa sikaKit (Pam Grier), wajika waba liesile, wamkhohlisa ngokumhlalisa umntwana oshushu (ebomini bakhe ngewayengazange amnike ixesha losuku- Uxolo, Dallas!). Ukungaziphathi kakuhle kwakhe waphosa i-Kit eyayifudula iyingalo zika Papi, (uJanina Gavankar) owayethandana nabasetyhini baseLatina, ngokungathi kukho inkqubo ethile yamatyala apho umfazi anokujongana kuphela nenani eliphelileyo lokuphoxeka ngamadoda ngaphambi kokuba aphakamise izandla kwaye itshintsha amacala.
Kwaye ubuyela kuHenry: Kwisiqendu seveki ephelileyo, wayecofa iinzwane zakhe kwigumbi lokuhlala. Andizange ndayibona indoda isenza lento ebomini bam. Yinto emfutshane-emfutshane ukubonisa indlela abakrwada ngayo, abazicingela bodwa nabangamadoda amadala athe tye. Yayiyidubula ebiza ixabiso eliphantsi kwindoda, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, yaphathwa ngentlonipho ngababhali. Ngokwandiswa, yayiyifoto engabizi kakhulu kubabukeli ababhinqileyo abathanda amadoda kwaye bahlala nabo.
UPhyllis
Eli xesha lizise olunye uguquko. UCybill Shepherd wajoyina iqonga njengoPhyllis, umlawuli oshushu wesikolo sobugcisa. UPhyllis-ongumama oneminyaka emibini engama-56 ubudala, otshatile iminyaka engama-25-udibana kwaye ulala noAlice, ewa ephambene eluthandweni kwaye eshiya umyeni wakhe. Nje kanjalo.
Kodwa u-Alice akamfuni, kwaye u-Phyllis uyahlazeka (nangona uCybill Shepherd e-botoxed okwangoku, kunzima ukuxelela). ULeonard, umyeni kaPhyllis, ujongene noAlice ngenye imva kwemini, njengoko uAlice elele ebhedini yakhe nentombi yakhe entsha kunye neqaqobana labanye. Abafazi abashukunyiswa kwaphela lusizi lukaLeonard, kwaye uyaqhuqha phambi kwabo ngelixa amantombazana eqengqa amehlo kwaye egxibha. Bamphatha okomntwana.
UPhyllis ngumntu ongenangqondo. Uxelela intombi yakhe nomyeni wakhe ukuba angathanda ukuphosa bonke ubomi bakhe bangaphambili kwinkunkuma. Kulapho ubomi obuthe tye ngoku bujikijelwa khona ILizwi : kwinkunkuma.
Shane intsingiselo yegama
Ukuba umfazi umhlobo ukhe wahlafuna indlebe yakho malunga ILizwi, Kusenokwenzeka ukuba ukhankanyile uShane, isiliphu esingaqhelekanga somfazi okrwada malunga nenwele emnyama, iileyile zamehlo amnyama kunye nokusikwa kwelipstick ebomvu. Uyinzwakazi; unelizwi elitshayayo lomntu otshayayo noncumo olungenakulindeleka, olonakalisayo. Xa umboniso wawuqala, wayeyintombi ekhohlakeleyo eyaxhwila amakhosikazi amancinci kwaye yabaphosa ngaphandle kwiyure. Ngoku uye wadibana.
Ngeli xesha lonyaka, uShane ebesachacha kabuhlungu emva kokushiya intombi yakhe ethandekayo, enothando uCarmen (owayesakuba yinkokheli yeCowboys uSarah Shahi) esibingelelweni. Kuye kwafuneka ukuba athathe uxanduva lokuba ngumzali emva kokuba utata wakhe owahlukanisiweyo amhlalise ngonyana wakhe owayengaphambi kokuba eze eShay (ewe, kunjalo), umntakwabo-Shane. Ukuzivelela kukaShane akukubi ngokwako; ukubona abalinganiswa ukuziqhelanisa neemeko ezintsha yinxalenye yolonwabo lokubukela umabonwakude. Kodwa konke kwenzeka ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Owona mlinganiso ubalaseleyo, owaphula umqobo kumboniso uye waba ngumfazi wosapho. Ukugcina umntakwabo kwamthomalalisa isimilo sakhe ngendlela uloyiko lokungabi namntwana lokukhulisa abantwana oluya kuthi: UShane uguqukile. Uphulukene nomphetho wakhe.
Kwaye kuvakalelwa ngathi kufanelekile ukuba sonwabe.
Ubukhulu
ILizwi ufumene umlinganiswa omnye ngokuchanekileyo, umntu obhinqileyo ongowesilisa ukuya kwindoda engu-Max. Udlalwa nguLwandle lwaseDaniela, umfazi o-androgynous, kodwa ngamehlo aqaqambileyo aluhlaza kunye nomhlathi owomeleleyo kunye nobumnandi obungenakuguqulwa. (Njengokuba ubudoda bukaShane buye buphela, uMax uye wangoyena mntu uthabathayo kulo mboniso.) UMax wabonakala kuqala njengentombi kaJenny uMoira; Wayehlwempuzekile kwaye engakhathali kwaye engenayo inkalakahla esulungekileyo yabahlobo bakaJenny. Okwethutyana, kubonakala ngathi ngumsebenzi wakhe ILizwi Ingayinto yokwenza ukuba amantombazana athandana nawo abonakale, kunye nababukeli, bangakhululeki.
Amanqanaba okuqala otshintsho lweMoira-to-Max kwakunzima ukujonga. Iihomoni zamenza waba ndlongondlongo kwaye uphambene; isiqwenga somphefumlo awudlalayo kwezemidlalo-simsahlula ngokucacileyo kumantombazana-siyinto. Isizini ephelileyo, wayenomdla kunye noBillie, owayekhuthaza iqela lesini esidlalwe nguAlan Cumming. Kodwa ekugqibeleni, uMax-ongenguye nobungqingili kwaye, enyanisweni, uyawonyanya umzimba womfazi wakhe-angangumsindisi ILizwi.
Thatha loo nto. Kwigumbi elingasemva leklabhu, uBillie wanika uMax i-blowjob kwilungu lakhe lobudoda. Akuzange kutyhalele nje imida; ibachaze ngokutsha. Le yayiyindoda eyintombazana eyayiwela kwi-pre-op F-to-M transsexual-kwi-Showtime! Yayilukhetho olunenkalipho, nokuba ingaba yayi-sexy okanye ingaxhomekekanga ikakhulu kwiimvakalelo zakho malunga noAlan Cumming. Okubaluleke ngakumbi, yayilukhetho olubonakala ngathi luhambelana nomoya wokuqala womboniso: uyothusa, kwaye uyothusa. Endaweni yokwakha iindonga phakathi kwabesini, phakathi kwabantu abathandanayo nabangqalanga, phakathi kokuziphatha kakubi nokuziphatha okuhle, ILizwi ubuyile ekuzidilizeni, wasimema sonke kwihlabathi uninzi lwabaphulaphuli olungenakubonwa. Ihlabathi abanye bethu, nokuba siqhelaniswe njani, abafuni kuvalwa ngaphandle.
