‘Mama!’ Yeyona Movie imbi kakhulu yoNyaka, Mhlawumbi kwiNkulungwane

Ukusuka kwi-hokum yeziyobisi ukuzama iphupha kugqithisile, kugqithisile kwaye kugqithisile Umnyama omnyama, into endiyibize ngokuba yinqanaba elihle Ukugxeka kwizihlangu zenzwane, i Iifilimu zomsebenzi wack uDarren Aronofsky ndibonakalise uthando olumnyama lokujonga imiphefumlo ejijekileyo kwintuthumbo. Kodwa akukho nto ayenzileyo ngaphambili ukutyhefa uluhlu lweozone endilungiselele lona umama! , umthambo wentuthumbo kunye ne-hysteria kangangokuba ngaphezulu ndingazi nokuba ndikhwaze okanye ndihleke ngokuvakalayo. Ukubamba izimvo ezivela kuPolanski, Fellini kunye noKubrick, wakha i-jeri eyakhayo i-nightmare ye-Freudian engenangqondo ephupha kakhulu kunamaphupha amabi, ngobuqili be-chainsaw.

Lo mboniso wenkohliso ziiyure ezimbini zokuzilungisa ezithi zijongane nenkolo, ubuqhetseba, inkanuko, imvukelo, nokunxanelwa igazi kwiisekisi zokuziphatha gwenxa okungqwabalala ukubonisa ukuba ukuba ngumfazi kufuna ukuzincama ngokweemvakalelo kunye nokubandezeleka ngokwasemzimbeni ngeendleko zayo yonke into ubomi, kubandakanya nobomi uqobo. Oko kunokuba okanye kungabi yile nto u-Aronofsky wayenayo engqondweni, kodwa iza kufutshane kutoliko olusengqiqweni njengazo naziphi na ezinye izimvo ezi-lunk-headed endizifundileyo okanye ndizivileyo. Uphengululo, apho iqela labagxeki ngokulingeneyo ngokulingeneyo likhangela intsingiselo enzulu, lilungile kunefilimu uqobo. Sebenzisa iinkcazo ezinje ngesakhiwo se-hermeneutic, i-phantasmagoric fantasia, uvavanyo lwe-Rorsach ye-cinema kunye nesikhalazo esandisiweyo somsindo okhoyo, ngokuqinisekileyo bayayazi indlela yokukushiya uhleka.

Nangona uza kuchitha uninzi lweentlungu ezibuhlungu, ezothusayo kunye noxinzelelo oluthatha iiyure ezimbini ukuze uphile umama! uzama ukufumanisa ukuba yeyiphi le nto, ndikucebisa ukuba ungazihoyi zonke izinto kwaye wenze eyakho fantasy. Omnye umgxeki uthi yinto ehlekisayo kwisiphithiphithi umhlaba ongasebenzi kakuhle oguqulwe nguDonald Trump. Omnye uthi isihloko sibhekisa kwindima edlalwe nguJennifer Lawrence, isikhombisi sangoku somlawuli kunye nomyuziyam we-cinema, lowo amoyikayo ngokusondeleyo okungapheliyo okugxininisa iimpazamo zakhe kunye nokuphanga umbukeli amandla okuzifumanisa. Omnye umvavanyi uthi udlala umama wasemhlabeni ongafunekiyo osebenza ngokufudumeleyo ukubuyisela ukulinganisela kwiplanethi yoMhlaba ehlala ichithwa bubungendawo nobundlongondlongo. Ndiyaluthanda uphononongo oluthelekisa imovie kunye nokudanisa kwethumba. Bonke bayanyanzelisa umama! sisikweko se into, nangona bengaqinisekanga ncam ukuba yintoni. Ekuphela kwento endivumelana nayo kukuba umboniso wokwenene yinyani. Ndiyayithanda imifanekiso yeekhamera, ukusondela okubanzi kweempumlo zempumlo, kunye ne-pandemonium yezihlwele ezikwisiqingatha sesibini sefilimu xa isiya kwi-haywire kunye nokuhlanya kulawula. Yinto engaqhelekanga ukukhumbula amaxesha obuchule bobuchwephesha kumdlalo bhanyabhanya andikaze ndifune ukuwabona kwakhona. Ubuso bomdlali we-actress uhlala kwimizuzu engama-66 epheleleyo yemizuzu eyi-120 yokusebenza, ngoko ke ndimbonile ngokwaneleyo, naye.

U-Lawrence, owasetyhini wayezibambe phantse ukuya kwindawo yokuhlanya, uhlala kwindlu eyoyikekayo, ekude phakathi nendawo nomyeni wakhe (uJavier Bardem), imbongi erhabaxa eyala ukumnika umntwana okanye ade ayokulala naye. (Ngaba imbongi ebuthathaka enomsebenzi we-erectile nayo ingayindoda ye-alpha? Ukubuza nje.) Njengokuba ekhula ngokuqondakalayo yonke imihla, indlu ihlaselwa ngabantu abangaziwayo (uEd Harris kunye noMichelle Pfeiffer omhle, okhangeleka ngokungathandekiyo) ophazamisa umfazi Ubomi obungenangqondo obunemibuzo ekrwada ngesondo, umtshato, nokuba kutheni engazami nzima ukuzala. Yonke imizamo yokubalahla iyathintelwa ngumyeni wakhe, onqwenela ingqalelo kunye nokunqula izithixo kubalandeli bakhe. Emva koko bafika oonyana babo ababini, bezisa ubundlobongela kunye nohlaselo. Izitya smash. Ifanitshala idiliziwe. Ukubulala kwenziwa. Igazi eliyimfihlakalo livela emgangathweni, livula umngxunya kweli bali lingezantsi. Kungekudala indlu izele ngabantu abazilileyo, bonke bakhuthazwa ukuba bahlale ixesha elide njengoko bethanda ngumyeni, ongakuhoyiyo ukwaphuka komfazi wakhe okulandelayo. U-Aronofsky ufumana uxinzelelo kwizandi ezingaqhelekanga kunye neziganeko ezenzekayo-inyosi efayo, ipani yokutshisa ishushu, ibhalbhu eqhumayo enegazi-efotwe nge-tedium enganyamezelekiyo. Njengokuba iindwendwe ezingamenywanga zikhula ngokwamanani, zisonakalisa imibhobho yamanzi, zikhukhula indlu ngamanzi, kwaye zichitha amagumbi ngenkunkuma, uqala ukukrokrela ukuba kukho okungakumbi koku konakala kunokubuka iindwendwe ngendlela engeyiyo. U-Lawrence uhamba ngamandongomane ngaphambi kokuba ababukeli benze, bebonisa italente emangalisayo yokumemeza Yeka! phezulu emiphungeni yakhe — into endandi nqwenela ukuyicinga kuqala.

Kanye xa ucinga ukuba unakho konke anokukuthatha, kukho okungakumbi. Usana luzalwa phakathi kokukhala kwegazi lokuzalwa xa uLawrence ekhasa phezu kwezidumbu zabasebenzi, kwaye iziqwengana ezingalawulekiyo eziphethe iitotshi zifika kwindawo ejongeka ngokusekwe kwiziphithiphithi zaseCharlottesville. Ekutshatyalalisweni kokugqibela kwesini sabasetyhini, uLawrence uzama ukusindisa umntwana ebesoloko ephupha ukuba abenze ubomi buzalise, kodwa iifellini ezimdaka kwiingubo zaphambi kweHalloween zigcwalisa isikrini kwaye ziyitshise indlu. Umgxeki weNew York Times ngekratshi ulumkisa kuphononongo lwakhe: Musa ukumamela nabani na othetha malunga nokuba ingqwabalala okanye iyaphazamisa. Uxolo, pal, kodwa ihlokondiba elitshisa usana olukhwazayo kunye nonina liphila, lize liguquke lidle inyama, litye usana kwaye likrazule intliziyo yalo ukuba ligungxule indlu yangasese ngelixa uPatti Smith ecula ngesiphelo sehlabathi lihambelana ncam nengcaciso yam zombini zinzima kwaye ziyaphazamisa. Yintoni eyakho?

Akukho nto malunga umama! yenza enye ikhotha ngengqondo njengoDarren Aronofsky's corny vision of madness turning more hilarious than scary. Ngobuninzi bezinto ezijikeleze ukuvala idreyini, ndiyathandabuza ukuyibhala njengeyona movie imbi kakhulu yonyaka xa imovie ebi kakhulu kule nkulungwane ilunga nangakumbi.
