‘Indoda Ebiyazi Ubunzulu,’ Ingqina iNtlonelo engaphelelanga

Indoda eyayisazi ukungapheli yi-biopic esekwe kubomi bukaSrinivasa Ramanujan, isazi sezibalo saseIndiya esaziwayo nesaziwayo (1887 - 1920). URamanujan wazalelwa kusapho oluhlwempuzekileyo lwasemaphandleni eIndiya kwaye wayengenayo imfundo esesikweni yekholeji kwaye, ngokudibanisa ubukrwada nokuzikhukhumeza, waphumelela ekwamkelweni nasekubekeni uMntu weRoyal Society yaseNgilani.

Amabhongo oMlawuli uMat Brown kunye neqela lakhe abaqale ukwenza le movie bayancomeka. Sixelelwe ukuba iinzame zithathe iminyaka elishumi elinambini kwaye idola nganye kuye kufuneke yolulwe kalishumi ukwenza ifilimu. Abasebenzi befilimu bachaza ukuba basebenzise iinzame ezininzi kunye nexesha lokubonisa ngobomi bokuqala bukaRamanujan kwimimandla esemaphandleni eMzantsi India ngokuqinisekileyo, kubandakanya ukuboniswa kweendlela zesiko labasetyhini baseIndiya baseTamil Brahmin, kunye nendlela abanxibe ngayo iisaris zabo.

USrinivasa Ramanujan, umlungisi wemathematika oye wafumanisa ezinye zezona zinto zijikajika ingqondo eziphazamisa iingcali zemathematika kwihlabathi liphela, ligorha elifanelekileyo lokunika imbeko. Ifilimu ka-Ron Howard's 2002 ebonisa uJohn Nash kwi Ingqondo Entle thaca imilinganiselo emininzi yengqondo eqaqambileyo yemathematics ngobuchule kunye nempumelelo kwezorhwebo. Ifilimu kaMatt Brown isixelela ngebali elinyanisekileyo lobomi obuncitshisiweyo bukaRamanujan kunye neengxabano kunye nokucalucalulo awayenako ukuze aphile ukuze aphuhlise ubuncwane bolwazi olugqithisileyo awalushiya ngasemva kwizizukulwana ezizayo.

Kwaye okwangoku, ifilimu iyadanisa ngeendlela ezininzi, idlala kwaye ishiya ezinye zezona zinto zinomdla kunye neemvakalelo zobomi namaxesha kaRamanujan.

Umzekelo, lo mboniso bhanya-bhanya uzama ukutsala iintliziyo zethu ngokuboniswa okungacacanga kukaJanaki, inkosikazi kaRamanujan, owashiywa sisazi semathematika emva nje komtshato wakhe xa wayehamba ngomkhombe esiya eCambridge, eNgilani, ukulandela iinjongo zakhe zokupapasha iingcinga zakhe. Ifilimu ibonisa umfazi omncinci, enesizungu kunye no-lovelorn, elangazelela uthando lomyeni wakhe okanye ubuncinci iileta ezimbalwa eziqhelekileyo ezivela kuye ebudeni beminyaka yakhe eNgilane. Ingxaki yobomi bokwenyani uJanaki yayimbi kakhulu kwaye ngekhe yalukwa kwifilimu ukuze ifake iimvakalelo ezingakumbi kwifilimu, into ethiwe ziincutshe zezibalo ezilawula ifilimu. Kubomi bokwenyani, uJanaki wayengumntwana, eneminyaka elishumi kuphela ubudala, xa watshata noRamanujan. Umtshato wabantwana wawuyinxalenye yamasiko amkelekileyo elo xesha kwilali zaseIndiya kwaye iyaqhubeka nokuba sembekweni ezimbalwa nanamhlanje. Ifilimu, nangona kunjalo, ibonisa umfazi kaRamanujan ukuba mdala kakhulu, ekhanyela kwaye ethintela ababukeli ukuqonda kokwenyani kunye nokuqonda okunzulu komfazi ngenxa yohambo lomyeni wakhe efuna udumo nokwamkelwa phesheya.

Ngayiphi na imeko, uJanaki kukuphambuka. Ifilimu ayenzi bulungisa ngokupheleleyo kwanexesha likaRamanujan langaphambi kweCambridge. Umboniso wefilimu weminyaka emincinci kaRamanujan uzaliswe yimifanekiso eqingqiweyo yasemaphandleni eIndiya, eneenqwelo kunye neenqanawa. Nokuba iWikipedia iyakwazi ukusinika inguqulelo ecace ngakumbi nenomdla yeentsuku zikaRamanujan eziselula kunale filimu. Uninzi lwee-anecdotes ezinomdla kunye nezifanele ifilimu zenze uRamanujan oselula. Wayephefumlelwe yincwadi yezibalo ebolekwe kumhlobo, wagqiba iimvavanyo zesikolo kwisiqingatha sexesha elabelweyo, utata wakhe akazange aye kumsitho wakhe womtshato (into engaqhelekanga kwimeko yala maxesha), wenza utyando olukhulu olwenziwa simahla ngugqirha onobubele, kwaye wangena kwindlu ngendlu efuna umsebenzi wobufundisi. Uninzi lwezi anecdotes ngelubonelele ngokwakha okumangalisayo kwibali leminyaka yeRamanujan yaseCambridge. Endaweni yoko, imiboniso bhanyabhanya yasekuqaleni yenza intetho engadibaniyo nonina kunye nenkosikazi kaRamanujan behambisa imigca ecekeceke ngesiNgesi (ezi zigcawu bekuya kuba kubhetele kakhulu ukuba zinikwe izihloko ezincinane zesiNgesi kunye nabalinganiswa abathetha ngolwimi lwesiTamil).

Ifilimu yenza izingqinisiso ezihamba kancinci kwiinkqubo zenkolelo kaRamanujan kunye nomcebisi wakhe, uNjingalwazi Hardy. Iimbambano eziphakathi kobukrelekrele obuqhutywa yintshatsheli eyayingumHindu ozinikeleyo kunye noprofesa othe phithi bubungqina owayengakholelwa kubukho bukaThixo zihlala zingaxutywanga kwaye zingasetyenziswa gingci kwifilimu. UDev Patel, odlala uRamanujan, uyasokola ukubonakala enzulu kwaye ephefumlelweyo. Kodwa uJeremy Irons, njengoNjingalwazi uHardy, uyaphumelela ekupakisheni indibaniselwano elungileyo nothando kunye nokuchaneka, egcina imilebe elukhuni kude kube yimiboniso yokugqibela yomdlalo bhanyabhanya xa enyibilika kobona buntu bakhe, ehambisa umxube onamandla nowoyikekayo wokuncoma nothando ngenxa yokukhusela kwakhe.

URamanujan ufanelwe yimbeko kunye nokwamkelwa ngakumbi kunale filimu anokumnika yona. Kwaye okwangoku, le filimu yintlonipho ethembekileyo kwaye ifanelwe kukuqhwatywa izandla.Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, njengoko izazi zezibalo zisazi, isiqingatha sobuncinci besisengapheliyo.
