Kuluyolo ukubhiyozela iSpamalot kakhulu. Kwinto enye evuselelayo, inenombolo yokuvula engenabungozi, nenengozi ekuvulekeni kuwo nawuphi na umdlalo weqonga endiwubonileyo.
Ngenisa umbhali-mbali oboshwe ngesaphetha ngemephu yaseNgilani. ENgilani ngo-932 AD, le ndoda yazisa ngokusesikweni. Ubukumkani buyahlukana. Ngasentshona iiAnglo-Saxon; eMpuma, amaFrentshi. Ngaphezulu, akukho nto ngaphandle kwamaCelt kunye nabanye abantu abavela eScotland.
Kwaye ke kuhamba njalo, ade acacise: Igqala lisibalisela ngenkokeli engaqhelekanga eyavela kwisiphithiphithi ukuze imanye ubukumkani obunengxaki. Indoda enombono eqokelele iinqwelo ndawonye ekufuneni okungcwele. Le ndoda yayinguArthur, uKumkani waseBritane. Kuba le yayiyiNgilani!
Indawo ke iyanqumama ukuya eFinland. Kwiqonga lokuqala lokuzonwabisa lokubonela ngorhatya, kubonakala ngathi sikwilizwe elingalunganga kunye nomboniso ongalunganga. Abantu baseFolkloric baseScandinavia babonwa bedanisa bevuya kwaye becula ezintabeni njengoko beqhwaba ngeentlanzi ezifileyo.
Ndithe eNgilane! uqhankqalazi-mbali.
Owu, uxolo, yitsho ukubethwa kweentlanzi eFinnns, njengoko iimonki eziculayo zingena zibetha emabunzini azo ngeencwadi ezityebileyo kwaye uKing Arthur ukhwele ihashe lokucinga. Isicaka sika-Arthur, uPatsy, simlandela sibetha iziqingatha ezibini zecoconut kunye.
Uzinzile, utshilo uKumkani, esondela kuthango olusezantsi. Kwaye ngaphaya siyahamba.
Ngoku, njengoko kuvuleka ii-comedies zomculo zihamba, kuya kufuneka utsho ukuba ayiqhelekanga. I-Spamalot ikhutshiwe ngothando kwi-movie iMonty Python kunye neGrail eNgcwele. Abalandeli abanzima bePython bayayazi imizobo engcwalisiweyo ngasemva, ewe-isiqhulo saseFrance kumanqwanqwa enqaba (ndiya ngakwicala lakho jikelele!), IBlack Knight eyala ukuvuma ukoyiswa nangona ilahlekelwe yimilenze yayo yonke. ukukrwela). Kodwa akufuneki ukuba ube liqela lePython ukonwabela ubugcisa obuphezulu behlaya eliphantsi.
Bathi awungekhe ugoduke kwakhona, kodwa ngeSpamalot bendisekhaya. Ndikhulele eNgilane, mna isiqingatha ndakhulela kwimincili ephambeneyo yaseMonty Python's Flying Circus ekuqaleni kweminyaka yoo-1970. Lezo yayiziintsuku zangaphambi kwevidiyo xa sonke sasihlala ukuze sibukele iPythons kumabonwakude, njengoko amaMelika ayesenza ngoMgqibelo ebusuku. Nanamhlanje, ukuba ndibamba i-gravy Monty Python kwi-telly yasebusuku, ndiza kuthandaza umzobo owuthandayo uza. Iingoma zeCanada Mounties 'Lumberjack zihlala; Ubulungiseleli bukaJohn Cleese obungapheliyo bokuhamba ngeSilly; U-Eric Idle's pub wazala nge-blazer: Uhamba! Uyazi ukuba ndithetha ukuthini? Nudge-nudge. Yithi ngekhe kwakhona. Eyona nto iphambili ekuhlekiseni, kokukhona iphinda iphinda-phinda, njengoko zonke iindlela zakudala zaseVaudeville zaziphindaphindwa kwaye zinikezelwa kule minyaka idlulileyo njengelifa losapho elixabisekileyo.
Ndonwabile ukuvuma, ke, ukuba ndiphelele, ngokuqinisekileyo, ndingenazintloni ngeSpamalot. Ukuba andinakuba, ngubani onako? Incwadi kunye namazwi ngoyena Mnumzana u-Idle, naye obhale inqaku lobuchule be-pastiche Broadway noJohn Du Prez. Lo ngunyaka kaEric Idle! Kodwa andizukuphosa itutu yam emoyeni kubhiyozelwa umboniso ngehlombe kakhulu ukuba imveliso kaMike Nichols ibingakhange iphume kakuhle.
Iikwayara zasezulwini ezininzi ziye zaziwa ukuba zicule iHaleluya Chorus ekukhankanyweni nje kwegama lika Mnu. Nichols njengazo zonke kumgama wekhilomitha ezilikhulu kuye eguqe enqula. IiNichols ezingcwele azinakwenza nto iphosakeleyo, kwanaxa esenza njalo. Kodwa uhambe ngeSpamalot ngokugqibeleleyo, kwaye ubambe umoya we-giddy Python. Uphose umboniso kakuhle kakhulu. UMnu.Nichols-ngubani owaziyo into okanye ezimbini malunga nobugcisa bokuhlekisa-ubonile ukuba akukho mntu uqhuba isiphithiphithi, ngaphandle kwaxa kunyanzelekile.
Kulunge kangakanani ukuba uTim Curry abuye nathi kwakhona. Umnumzana uCurry uKing Arthur ubambelela kwisiphithiphithi esingqonge ngokuzola kwakhe okungaqhelekanga kunye nomyalelo. Uhlaziyo yile ace yeqonga elungileyo. Ungumzekelo ogqibeleleyo wokudlala umdlalo ohlekisayo wasendle. I-Hank Azaria egqwesileyo ibengezela kwiindima ezininzi ze-virtuoso, kubandakanya i-knight evaliweyo yesini, uSir Lancelot, okhokela iqela eli-Peter Allen. Igama lakhe nguLancelot / Kwaye kwiibhulukhwe eziqinileyo / Uyakuthanda ukudanisa kakhulu…. Akukho mntu wathi Python uburharha babufihlakele.
Kubukrelekrele, nangona. I-deadpan uDavid Hyde Pierce ngu-Sir Robin ongekho nesibindi, ohlisa indlu kunye nawe Awuyi kuphumelela kwi-Broadway (Ukuba Awunayo na amaYuda). UMnu Idle ufikelela kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ze-Cole Porter nge-lyric, Kukho i-percentile encinci kakhulu / Ngubani onandipha umdaniso weeNtlanga.
Ngendlela yayo yobuntu, i-Spamalot yileta yothando eya ku-Broadway (njengoko abavelisi bethanda). Abavelisi babe nefuthe elihle kuMnu Idle. Unomboniso wam owuthandayo, isuti ebalekayo yexesha elide engavumelekanga kwiBroadway. Ubona i-Broadway Broadway ngakumbi kuMnumzana Idle ngokuthumela u-Andrew Lloyd Webber duet, obizwa ngokuba yiNgoma Ehamba Kanje, kwaye wacula ngentliziyo evuthayo ngu-Sir Dennis Galahad (uChristopher Sieber oneenwele ezimhlophe). Ichibi (ukuphakama, okumnandi uSara Ramirez). Kodwa kuzo zonke iiPythons, uMnu Idle ebesoloko engoyena mntu ubethwa eqongeni.
Kwakukho i-showbiz yakhe epholileyo kunye ne-crooner yothando kuthotho lokuqala lweMonty Python. Ukwangumntu onesithandi sobulumko kwezentlalo ukungenisa elizweni. Yiyo loo nto uDennis Galahad ecaphukile ekuchaseni uKumkani Arthur kunye namalungelo ookumkani xa beqala ukudibana. Owu, kumkani, eh? Intle kakhulu. Kwaye uyifumana njani loo nto, eh? Ngokuxhaphaza abasebenzi. Ngokuxhoma kwimfundiso yama-impiriyali ephelelwe lixesha eqhubela phambili iyantlukwano yezoqoqosho nezentlalo kuluntu lwethu! Ukuba kuyakubakho nkqubela phambili….
Ukongeza oko umama wakhe, bendingazi ukuba sinenkosi. Ndacinga ukuba sizimele geqe.
Ukuba sinqwenela ukunyusa ubungqondi-kwaye senza-Mnu. Ukungasebenzi nako kunokuba sisidenge esifanele u-Ionesco, ukuba uyathanda. Nanku uKumkani uArthur kunye noMhlekazi Robin baxoxa ukuba iicoconut zivela phi:
Inkonjane ingabhabha ibheke emazantsi nelanga, utshilo uArthur, okanye umartin wendlu okanye iplover inokufuna ukufudumala ebusika, kodwa ayingobantu abangaqhelananga nomhlaba wethu.
Ngaba ucebisa ukuba iicoconut zifuduke? USir Robin ubuza ngokungakholeki.
Akunjalo konke konke-zazinokuthwalwa.
Intoni? Inkonjane ethwele ikhokhonathi?
Inokuyibamba ngekhoba!
Akungombuzo wokuba ubambelela phi! Umbuzo olula wokulinganiswa kobunzima….
Kodwa xa konke kuthethwe kwaye kwenziwe ngengqondo, i-Python uburharha buya kwingcambu kunye nentliziyo yothando lwaseNgilani lokuqaqadeka. Njengoko ukuvusa i-Spamalot lyric kuhamba, Yiba yi-knight kwaye uya kude / kwi-suspenders kunye ne-bra. Okanye kwenzeka ntoni eCamelot, kuhlala eCamelot. Abantu baseMelika bayakonwabela ukuqaqadeka, nabo, ewe, bayayibona iMarx Brothers-kodwa uthando lwesilly yivalve yokhuseleko yaseBritane.
Ivela kwisithethe esikhulu. UMphathiswa kaJohn Cleese we-Silly Walks unxibelelwano oluthe ngqo kwisithethe somculo we-nutty owaziwa ngokuba ngumdaniso we-eccentric. Umnumzana Idle utyhila uthando nge vaudevillian sentiment kunye ne repartee, kunye neenkumbulo zohambo lwezonqulo ukuya kwiifilimu zekrisimesi zonyaka. (Ukufunyanwa kweGrail eNgcwele ekupheleni kweSpamalot ngumbulelo wothando kwinto endala ye-panto). IiPythons ngokwazo zazivela kwiimvumba zaseBritani ezibizwa ngokuba ziigon. Owona mculo uthandwayo kwi-Goon Show ye-BBC wawunesihloko esithi Ingoma ye-Ying Tong. Ke iSpamalot ineeKnights zayo ezithi Ni. Maxa wambi bayakhala, Ni Peng! Ni Wong! Kodwa kuphela xa baziva ngathi.
Yonke into endinokuyongeza ngendlela yenkcazo yokuphambana ngokupheleleyo sisaci sobulumko kwindinyana evela kwingoma ka Knight uqobo:
Ezinye zazo
Akukho nanye
Kancinci kancinci kubantu esingabathandiyo
Kwaye kancinci ngakumbi kum.
Ngaba ndikhona ukugxekwa kwalo mboniso woyikekayo? Ukuba uyandihlaba, andiphumanga gazi na? Ndizakubahlebela. Zininzi kakhulu izinto ezithunyelweyo zikaMnu. Lloyd Webber weebhaladi ezinkulu (kuba akazange abhale nencinci). Isenzo sesibini sikaNks.Ramirez Nantoni na eyenzekileyo kwicandelo lam iyayityhala ithamsanqa nje kancinci. Kodwa uNksz Ramirez ngumdlali obalaseleyo-ukufumanisa okuthakazelisayo. Ndazibuza xa kuvalwa umboniso usondela ukuba ingaba uMnu Nichols, Mnumzana Idle et al. bangazama phezulu, bayeke ukulingana, Abavelisi 'fabled Ixesha leNtwasahlobo lokugqibela kukaHitler.
Kodwa, yeha…. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba kungabikho mntu uya kuze asondele ekubonisweni kokuveliswa kwabavelisi-ngokwabo irhafu ekhuthazekileyo ekhuthazayo kubuvuvi be-vaudevillian. Inani lokuvalelisa leSpamalot kuphela komzuzu wokugqibela wobusuku bonke-isiphelo sendabuko somboniso ongaqhelekanga.
Yithi ngekhe kwakhona! Iiseti zeekitschy ezibalaseleyo kunye nesinxibo nguTim Hatley, kunye nobuchwephesha bukaCasey Nicholaw baphawula isohlwayo sakhe, kwaye kumnandi, kwiBroadway bt. I-Spamalot isinika sonke ukukhuthaza. Kuyinto evuyayo, ukuzonwabisa okuphambeneyo komboniso. Ubuyela ekhaya ukonwaba emva kwengoma eculekileyo kunye nesamente yoHlala ujonge kwicala eliqaqambileyo loBomi:
Xa uhlafuna i-gristle yobomi
Musa ukumbombozela, nika impempe!
Kwaye… uhlala ujonga kwicala eliqaqambileyo lobomi.
Yintoni enokuba sillier? Kungcono ntoni?
