INgonyama yeNgonyama.Imifanekiso kaWalt Disney Kwiminyaka eliqela emva kokutyhalelwa ngaphandle kukratshi ngumalume wakhe odlamkileyo, uSimba ubuya nengonyama esele ikhule ngokupheleleyo, ukuze afumane indawo eyayiphambili eyayilawulwa nguyise kwaye wayithembisa kuye ngoku, engonwabanga kwaye engazingelwanga. Okanye njengoTimon, umhlobo wakhe wemeerkat, utsho malunga nokuhonjiswa, Kunzima kancinci kwisidumbu.
Ndiyawukhumbula umgca kuba wawuphakathi kwabambalwa kakhulu kumdlalo bhanyabhanya owawundenza ndihleke. (Ithiyetha epakishwe yahluthwa kancinci kunam, nangona ndandineminyaka eli-9 ubudala ndayibona ingekaze incume.) Ikwabonelela ngegama elichazayo ukuba kutheni iDisney ilinge lakutshanje lokudlulisa isandla sabo- zoba iiklasikhi zoopopayi kwiifotorealistic Iimpawu zeCGI Wayebetha amanqaku amaninzi ebubuxoki kum, nangona kubonakala ngathi ahlangabezana nokulindelweyo ngabaphulaphuli: isidumbu.
I-Zombie-efana nayo inokusebenza, okanye isiporho; umhadi, mhlawumbi. Masithi nje, kuzo zonke izinto ezifezekisiweyo zobuchwephesha, kunzima ukujonga iliso elenziwe ngekhompyuter lale be-box behemoth kungekudala kwaye ibambe umbono wayo nantoni na efana nomphefumlo.
Kulula ukugxeka ingqikelelo engemva kwefilimu kolu luvo; Iphatha ifilimu ebhaliweyo ye-1994 njengebhodi yamabali yokubalisa ibali elifanayo-ngokungathi yenye ye-anthropomorphic True-Life Adventure indalo eyabhalwa nguDisney waphumelela ii-Oscars ezininzi ngeminyaka yoo-1950. Ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha Ucelomngeni lokuziphatha , ezo bhanyabhanya ubuncinci zigubungele ukumangaliswa nengozi; le movie-yenziwe ngaphakathi kwizitishi zeseva kwi-air-conditioned CGI enikezela ifama kwaye ayikaze ichukunyiswe ngezandla zomntu-ayizingeli kangako nge-elk kwaye ngakumbi isidlo sangokuhlwa seveki ephelileyo sifudunyezwe kwimicrowave.
Eyona nto intle INgonyama yeNgonyama unikezelo ngandlel 'ithile ngobuchwephesha buhlaziyiwe kwaye ngokubanzi uvakalise kakuhle ukusebenza kwakhona kwesiqhelo, kodwa akukho nto iyothusayo okanye ibalulekileyo. Ngokuqinisekileyo akukho nto incinci ngokungxamisekileyo malunga nomlawuli omtsha kaJon Favreau.
Endaweni yoko, ifilimu ibonakala ikhona ngenxa yezizathu ezibini: intengiso iyayifuna kwaye iikhompyuter zihlala zisebenza. Nokuba ungaphenduli ngokwanelisayo uphendula umbuzo oza kujika ngasemva kwengqondo yakho ngelixa ubukele umboniso bhanya-bhanya, ukukuphazamisa ngokuqinisekileyo njengomntu ojonga isicatshulwa sakhe izihlalo ezimbalwa ngaphezulu: kutheni le nto iyimfuneko?
Ewe, kwikhredithi yefilimu, liqonga elilungileyo labadlali, ababoleka amazwi abo kuphela. (Kungenxa yokuba uFavreau evakalelwa kukuba iyakujongela phantsi ifotoreyali awayeyidubula, umboniso bhanyabhanya uvavanya uhlobo lwesindululo sokubanjwa esincedileyo ekwenzeni olona lwamva nje Iplanethi yee-Apes uthotho olunje ngokunyanzela.)

Nje ukuba ububele bakhe obunqabileyo buqukunjelwe ngenceba, uSimba uba sisiphukuphuku sombulelo kwizwi likaDonald Glover elibuyileyo kunye nokucula okugqwesileyo. U-Chiwetel Ejiofor wongeza ubunzulu be-Shakespearian kwi-Scar usurper, nangona umntu enqwenela ukuba abe neendawo ezininzi anokujongana nazo ne-Mufasa, wavakala kwakhona ngu-James Earl Jones. NjengoTimon kunye nePumbaa, u-Billy Eichner kunye no-Seth Rogen's comic riffing ubonelela ngenye indlela elawulwa ngokuqinileyo ifilimu ezinye izinto ezifuneka kakhulu. (Enye into yokudibanisa amahlaya-uEric Andre kunye noKeegan-Michael Key njengeqela lamagcuka akwiScar's-ayilibaleki.)
Ke kukho izinto zobugcisa. UHans Zimmer uphinde wajonga amanqaku akhe aphumelele u-Oscar ngempumelelo enkulu. Iingoma, ezaziwa kakhulu kodwa ezinye zintsha (kubandakanywa noMoya kaBeyoncé) zonke ziqinile, kodwa akukho nanye kuzo encediswa kukuba ziculwa zizilwanyana ezifota.
Ngelixa uFavreau enobulumko bokuqesha umboniso bhanyabhanya uCaleb Deschanel, i-DP eyindumasi evela kwiifilimu ezijolise kwizilwanyana zikaCarol Ballard Istallion emnyama (1979) kunye Bhabha umke ekhaya (amashumi alithoba anamanci asithoba anesithandathu) Akakwazi ukulawula ukukhanya kwiziphumo zangaphakathi kwikhompyuter ngendlela anokuthi ngayo kubomi bokwenyani. Uninzi lwenkqubo luziva ngathi zikhanyisiwe yiofisi yokwakha ii-fluorescents.
Kodwa ukunqongophala kokubambeka kunjalo INgonyama yeNgonyama Imicimbi ngokubanzi. Ihamba kunye nefilimu yokulahleka kwengqondo yengozi kunye ne-spark spark.
Oku kungabikho kwemvakalelo kunye nokuyila kwenziwa ngakumbi nangakumbi kuba ifilimu ye-1994 sele ikhuthazekile ngasemva kwesimo sokudlamka kunye namava emidlalo yeqonga kuJulie Taymor womculo we-Broadway omde. Nangona igama likaTaymor livela kwiikhredithi njengomvelisi olawulayo, ifilimu ibonakala ngathi ivela kwindalo iphela apho umboniso weqonga lakhe elimangalisayo ungazange ubekhona.
Endaweni yokufikelela phambili njengomboniso, oku Ingonyama King I-retrograde-ukubonakaliswa kwe-cinematic yohlobo lwe-nostalgia enetyhefu eye yangena kwintetho yesizwe. Ukuphangwa kwemvakalelo yokwenene kunye nemvakalelo yokuyilwa, ibali liba kukuphononongwa kwezopolitiko kwilifa le-savanna.
Ndizifumene ndinqwenela ukuba kungabi nguSimba okanye uScar olawula umhlaba webhongo kwaye endaweni yoko avumele ezinye izilwanyana ukuba zivote. Ubuncinci oko kunokuba kuvelise isimanga.
Uhlaziyo: Inguqulelo yangaphambili yeli nqaku ayichazanga umlinganiswa ovakaliswe nguJames Earl Jones njengoMustafa. Iye yalungiswa.
