'Uthando & Ubuhlobo' kwiminyaka ka-Austen

Ecocekile, enobukrelekrele, eneliso elibukhali. Ezo nkcazo zichanekileyo ngabagxeki kunye neebhlogi zomlawuli we-prepy Whit Whitman's comedies yeendlela ezinje IMetropolitan, iBarcelona kwaye Iintsuku Zokugqibela zeDisco, inokusebenza ngokuthanda kwakhe uJane Austen. Ke nangona ingumMelika osebenza nohlahlo-lwabiwo mali olusezantsi, kwifilimu yakhe entsha Uthando & Ubuhlobo Ekugqibeleni waqubisana nesinxibo sexesha elinobunewunewu, umhombiso ochumileyo kunye nobukrelekrele obomileyo bobukrelekrele obungene ngenkulungwane ye-18 eNgilane kunye nezohlwayo ezifanayo kunye nokuqwalaselwa kweenkcukacha awazizisa kwiifilimu zakhe zangaphambili ezicocekileyo malunga nokuqina kwabantu baseMelika ekhaya nakwamanye amazwe. Iziphumo azilingani kodwa kufanelekile ukuqaphela.

Umthombo we-screenplay yakhe engagqitywanga, engashicilelwanga nguJane Austen novella, UMama uSusan, malunga neentsilelo kunye neempazamo zikaLady Susan Vernon (edlalwe kakuhle nguKate Beckinsale enenkohliso yokubala egqunywe kukunyaniseka okunyanzelekileyo), umhlolokazi omhle owathi, washiya imeko yezezimali ehlazisayo ngumyeni wakhe ongasekhoyo, engashiyi nelinye ilinge lokufuna isityebi umyeni wakhe omtsha kunye nentombi yakhe uFrederica. Ndikunye nomhlobo wakhe uNksk. Alicia Johnson, waseMelika owayesekuthinjweni ovela e-Connecticut, ecaleni kwakhe, u-Lady Susan uxuba amathuba akhe njengendawo yamakhadi kumdlalo we-gin rummy, bobabini behleba kwaye bencokola njengamadoda afanelekileyo kunye nabasetyhini abanobuhlobo. badibana badlula kumhlaba weplani yabo njengabamsulwa abathembekileyo, belindele ukukhohliswa. UNks Beckinsale noChloe Sevigny, ababedlala abantu abahlala nabo kwifilimu kaMnu Iintsuku Zokugqibela zeDisco, Sidibene apha kunye namaqhinga amnandi.

Konke oku kulungile nje ukuba awukhathali ngesiqwenga esincinci (okanye ukungabikho kwaso) kunye nabalinganiswa abaninzi kakhulu ukuba bangagcina nkqo, badlalwe ngabadlali baseBritane ongazange uve ngabo. Xa uLady Susan eshiya ikhaya lakhe elihlwempuzekileyo laseVernon, eLongford, esiya kutyeba usapho olunobutyebi nolunqwenelekayo lwakwaDeCourcy kwindlu yabo entle yelizwe, eChurchill, abaphindaphindayo. Kukho umgwebi osisityebi kaFrederica, uSir James Martin (idonki ehlekisayo enemali eyoneleyo yokumgcina ekhululekile ubomi bakhe bonke, edlalwa ngoTom Bennett), ngelixa umama wakhe eceba ukurhwebesha uReginald DeCourcy, udadewabo- ubhuti omncinci womthetho. Kodwa uFrederica ukwabeka indawo yakhe kuReginald, kwaye uLady Susan uzithuthuzela okwethutyana ngeNkosi Manwaring, ayichaza njengonomtsalane ngokobuthixo. Oonxantathu bayashiyana, izibini zabathandi ziyahlula, kwaye iingcungcu zihamba zodwa malunga namaqhekeza echess. U-Lady Susan ubeka esichengeni igama lakhe ngokuvuma ukuba, iimeko zethu zisengozini kangangokuba asiphili-siyandwendwela, kodwa xa uFrederica ecekiswa ngu-Sir James, umama wakhe ufumanisa ukuba ikamva elihambileyo linodoli ongcono kunekamva konke konke. kwaye utshata naye ngokwakhe. Oko kushiya uFrederica ukuba oyise uReginald, kwaye bonke bahlala ngokuzingca emva koko.

Abalandeli bakaJane Austen baya kuzimela Uthando & Ubuhlobo ngaphandle kokudibanisa, kodwa ndifumene ukungabikho kweentlobo ezahlukeneyo, i-snobs ezingenambala, ukutshintsha kwexesha lokungena kwintando kunye nokuma kwencoko yexesha elidala kunye nokuzithemba nokuhamba ngokukhawuleza ukugcina umdla, kwaye ndajonga iwashi lam ngakumbi rhoqo kunokuba ndifuna ukuvuma. Ndiyayoyika ifilimu yebhokisi-ofisi, kodwa uKate Beckinsale uyamangalisa njengebhaddi engenaburhalarhume kwi-bustier, kwaye ngokushwankathela, Uthando & Ubuhlobo Inika ukukhanya okuthandekayo, okuthintelweyo ngexesha kwiifilimu xa phantse yonke enye into inobuqhetseba bezibane zangaphambili.
