UGlenn Vala kumsitho weendaba u-Andrew Lloyd Weber uhlengahlengiso luka Ukutshona kwelanga eBoulevard .UBruce Glikas Ke bebejika, ngapha koko-ezo khamera. Ubomi, obunokuba nenceba engaqhelekanga, uthathe inceba kuNorma Desmond. Iphupha awayebambelele kulo ngamandla lalimqinisile.
-Ungasekhoyo uJoe Gillis ebalisa ukwehla kwezitepsi zikaNorma Desmond ekupheleni kukaBilly Wilder Ukutshona kwelanga eBoulevard
UNorma Desmond wadibana nomatshini wokushicilela ngenye imini kwiBhotwe lakhe (elaziwa njenge Inkqubo ye- Ibhotwe elineminyaka engama-47 nesixhenxe). Imibuzo ephaphazelayo, iikhamera ezidanyazayo-wayeyithanda.
Kodwa emva koko, yintoni ongayithandiyo? Unobangela wayo yonke le ngxokolo yemidiya yayikukubuya kwakhe ixesha elide- okanye mandithi, njengoko wayefuna, buyela -Kubuyela kwizigidi zabantu abangazange bandixolela ngokushiya isikrini.
Ngokwenyani, ngaphandle kwendlela ekhubekisayo ngayo kwiimvakalelo ezihlwempuzekileyo zikaNorma, ukubuya ngu igama elichanekileyo — ngakumbi xa ubhekisa ku-Glenn Close, u-Desmond ophumelele u-Tony kwaye, ngokuqinisekileyo, ngu-Desmond omkhulu kunabo bonke, oza kuqala i-16 yeeveki zakhe zoloyiso luka-1994 lwangoFebruwari 9 ukuba uyiphosile.
Vala ’s Isichaso sinegama elithi ukuphindaphinda, kwaye uthetha ngokuchanekileyo: Ngeli xesha, indlela yam yonke kukuba ndandingafuni ukubuyela kuyo nantoni na endiyenzileyo ngaphambili. Ndize kuyo ndicinga nje ukuba andinguye kwakhona kuyilwa. Ndiyahlola, ukuqala ekuqaleni. Ndineminyaka engama-22 ubudala ngoku. Ndineminyaka engama-22 ngaphezulu yobugcisa kunye nobomi. Kuza kufuneka kuthathwe ngokwahlukileyo.
Kwakhona, libali elimema ukuphinda utyelele. Lelinye lawona mabali makhulu aphuma eHollywood-kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo yenye yezona ndima zibalulekileyo zabhalwa ngumfazi, nokuba kukwinqanaba okanye kwifilimu. Ukudlala lo mlinganiswa kuthatha yonke into . Njenge cathartic njengebali ngokwalo-kuye nawuphina umdlali weqonga okanye umdlali weqonga kulo, ikwangumlingisi kwaye, ekugqibeleni, wanelisa kakhulu ukuziva ukuba zonke izihlunu zakho zokuyila ziyaguquguquka ngelixa usenza.
Ukuvala kungama-69 ngoku kwaye uzibambe kwimidlalo esixhenxe ngeveki. Sifumene ukuba awukwazi ukwenza imidlalo esibhozo ngeveki yale ndima ngaphandle kokugula. Nabani na owakha wayidlala le ndima uyakukuxelela ukuba ngokwasemzimbeni, nangelizwi, kunzima.
Abo bambonayo bamenza iWest End ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo ephelileyo njengoNorma kwi-English National Opera yaseLondon bathi ubudala benza ukuba iLa Desmond ingoyiki kwaye ibe sesichengeni. Ukumangaliswa kwethu sonke, uGlenn wayelunge nangakumbi kunangaphambili, utshilo uChristopher Hampton, owabhala ngokubambisana incwadi kunye namazwi noDon Black. Wayibethelela. Ndisoloko ndinqabile ukuba kwindawo yemidlalo yeqonga apho abantu babenemincili kakhulu.
UMichael Xavier, uSiobhan Dillon noFred Johanson, ababedlala kunye noVala kuloo mveliso, benza i-Broadway debuts yabo iphinda i-performance yabo apha.
Hampton wayengumntu wokuqala ukubona umculo Ukutshona kwelanga eBoulevard . Yathi yakudlula i-English National Opera, wanika u-Andrew Lloyd Webber uluvo-ikakhulu njengendlela yokudlulisa imbeko esenza le ncwadi Iphantom yeOpera .
Kwinyanga ephelile Phantom iqale unyaka wayo wama-30 eMajestic njengowona mboniso mde we-Broadway-ke, nini Ukutshona kwelanga eBoulevard ivulwa ngomso kwiBhotwe, nge Amakati kwaye Isikolo seLiwa edolophini, uLloyd Webber uya kuba ngumqambi wesibini owakhe waba nemiboniso emine eqhuba ngaxeshanye kwi-Main Stem. Owokuqala yayinguRichard Rodgers, owathi, ngehlobo lowama-533, wayeneenkqubo zakhe ezine noHammerstein ehamba ngokupheleleyo kwiBroadway ( UMzantsi Pasifiki , Mna noKumkani , Mna noJuliet kwaye Oklahoma! ).
Umqambi wase-Bhritane uneentloni, kwaye ngaphezulu kokuthoba kancinci, ngalo manani. Ndidibene noRichard Rodgers kakhulu, kwasekuqaleni kwikhondo lomsebenzi wam, utshilo. Ukucinga ukuba ndifike naphi na kufutshane nento eyenziwe nguMfo oMkhulu kuyandothusa.
Ngokungafaniyo noRodgers, owayefuna umboniso ukuze ajolise ekufikeleleni kwivenkile yakhe emnandi, uLloyd Webber ubanga ukuba ubhala yonke imihla. Imelodi yeyona nto ndiyikholelwayo. Okwangoku, ndinedrowa yam yeengoma mhlawumbi engama-20 endonwabe ngayo. Inkunkuma engenathemba kunye noxinzelelo kuba andifumani sifundo ndifuna ukusenza njengomboniso, esoyikeka kum, kodwa andikwazi ukunceda. Ndicinga nje ngeengoma.
Iokhestra enamaqhekeza angama-40, engaqhelekanga ngokuxhaphakileyo kwiBroadway, kufuneka incede ukubamba loo mgca womculo. Le yeyona khonsathi ihlonitshwayo ye-English National Opera yenkqubo yekonsathi, uLloyd Webber ukrwela umgca. Ngenxa yoko, kuninzi kakhulu malunga nezinto ezibonakalayo kunokuba zisebenza ngokwenene, ngoko ke, ngoku ngoku konke malunga nomculo kunye nebali-ngaphandle kokuxhamla indawo enkulu.
Iitoni ezininzi zikaJohn Napier, izinyuko ezakhiwe ngamatye zikaTony, ezazilawula indlu kaNorma's gothic-Victorian-baroque kwindlu yoqobo Ukutshona kwelanga eBoulevard , yinto etshisa ingqondo kuye nabani na okhe wayibona. Ngamanye amaxesha yayinyuka ukuze indawo yemidlalo idlalwe eqongeni phantsi kwayo, kwaye, ngexesha lokuzamazama kwe-LA, abaqhankqalazi bayo babeza kubila ngokubanda okuthe kratya emva kothuko olulandelayo emva kwenyikima enkulu yaseCalifornia.
Oko kwaqhubeka iinyanga , Vala ukhumbula. Inqanaba lokumiswa lihlala lihamba kancinci xa umhlaba uthe cwaka, kodwa, emva koko, kwanokugungqiswa okuncinci kwenza ukuba iadrenalin ihambe.
Angavuya ukubona loo monstrosity intle kangaka ihamba, kodwa ithathelwe indawo zezinyuko ezininzi kuye. Kuyinto engabonakaliyo kwaye iyakhiwe kwakhona kunokuba i-Napier i-gorgeous, i-hyper-reality set, ibonisa umlawuli we-show, uLonny Price.

Iseti yoqobo kunye nemveliso ikhuthaze uhlobo lobukhulu kwaye, ndicinga ukuba uGlenn angade athi, luhlobo lwento embi. Ngoku, ngumfazi oneminyaka ephakathi-nye elwela ubomi bakhe kunye nomsebenzi wakhe. U-ome njengesiqhelo, ngokuqinisekileyo, kwaye wenzakele kakhulu, kwaye uza kuphulukana nengqondo, kodwa akakho okwangoku. Simbukele ngokuthe ngcembe ephulukana nayo.
Ngaphambi nje kokubonisa inkwenkwezi yakhe kumaphephandaba, uLloyd Webber wanika ingalo ka-Close uthando olucothayo kwaye wamsebezela njengomntwana wesikolo onomdla, Sonke silapha ngenxa yakho. Yinyani leyo, uyavuma, okwenzekileyo kukuba sibe nethuba lokuyenza kwi-English National Opera, kwaye babuza uGlenn. Wayengazange ayenze-okanye nantoni na eqongeni-eLondon, ke ndicinga ukuba wayenomdla wokuyenza.
Unokukhumbula ukuba uLloyd Webber waqesha ilizwe lakhe Kuphephe , Patti LuPone, kwi-premiere yehlabathi uNorma eLondon, ngesithembiso sokuphindaphinda indima kwi-Broadway, kodwa, xa wabona i-Close do Norma kwi-premiere yaseMelika eLos Angeles, wagqiba ekubeni anike yena I-Broadway yadubula endaweni yoko, ikhokelela kwisimangalo esibi kakhulu esonakalisa ukuhlawula iphuli yokuqubha yeLuPone. Kukhuphiswano lukaTony lwalo nyaka, uLuPone unomphetho (ngo-Helena Rubinstein ku Ipeyinti Yemfazwe ) ngaphezulu kokuVala, ngubani, kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe we-ground-up on Norma, akafanelekanga kwimizuzwana.
UGlenn, uLloyd Webber usanyanzelisa, yeyona ilungileyo uNorma Desmond endakha ndayibona.
UGlenn, uLloyd Webber usanyanzelisa, yeyona ilungileyo uNorma Desmond endakha ndayibona. Oko kunokuba okanye kungabandakanyi i-madwoman yasekuqaleni yaseSunset Boulevard-uGloria Swanson kwiBilly Wilder's 1950 film classic. Ubuhle obunekratshi obuvela kwiintsuku ezingundoqo zeKops, uSwanson wayengaziwa njengomdlali weqonga ngaphambi- okanye emva- Ukutshona kwelanga eBoulevard , kodwa kule filimu nye uWilder wenza kuye umdlalo omninzi weenkwenkwezi ezithe cwaka ezinomsebenzi ophazamisayo watshisa ngokuza kwesandi.
Kunzima ngoku ukukholelwa, kodwa wayengenguye owokuqala, wesibini okanye wesithathu ukhetho lwendima. Ukhetho lokuqala lukaWilder, Mae West, wathukwa sisithembiso. Okwesibini-uPola Negri, umdlali weqonga wasePoland ongasindanga sisandi-wayesenayo indlela eyahlukileyo eyayiza kubulala ubukrelekrele bukaWilder. Wade waya ePickfair ukuze abeke umfanekiso buqu ku-Nombolo 3, uMary Pickford, owathi wasoyikeka ngeli bali wayebaxelela ukuba wayeka. UGreta Garbo noNorma Shearer babuzwa kodwa abayi kuphuma kumhlala phantsi.
ISwanson yayisisiphakamiso sikaGeorge Cukor, owathi, ngokungathandabuzekiyo, aqondise intsebenzo enye eya kuthi ithathe iAward Award kude noNorma Desmond weSwanson kuphela kodwa noMettego waseBette Davis uMargo Channing: UJudy Holliday kaBillie Dawn.
Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu malunga nokulahlwa kweSwanson yayikukuba usebenze nomlawuli u-Erich von Stroheim, owaqeshwa nguWilder ukuba adlale indoda yokuqala kaNorma kunye nomngcamli wexesha elide, uMax von Mayerling. Ifilimu abayenze kunye nomvelisi uJoseph Kennedy, U-Queen Kelly , ayizange igqitywe, kodwa ikliphu yayo yayiqhwanyaza kwigumbi lokuhlola ikhaya likaNorma.
Indima kaJoe Gillis, otsala into ethandabuzekayo ephindwe kabini njengombhali wescreen sikaNorma kunye nesithandwa sakhe, naye uhambe ekhupha i-loop-de-loops. I-Montgomery Clift ibambe iiveki ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba ukudubula kuqale kuba wayecinga ukuba ulwalamano oluphakathi kwabantu ababhinqileyo nolutsha lubonakalisa ubomi bakhe bokwenene kunye noLibby Holman; UFred MacMurray akayithandi imiba yegigolo yendima; UMarlon Brando wayeqwalaselwe kakhulu njengongaziwayo ukuba athathe ithuba; I-MGM yenqabile ukuboleka uGene Kelly, ngenxa yoko uWilder kuye kwafuneka ahlawulele umdlali wekhontrakthi oPhezulu, uWilliam Holden, oza ixesha elikhulu .
UWilder kunye neqabane lakhe ekubhaleni ixesha elide, uCharles Brackett, baphantse beza bevumbulula imontage ebonisa oko uNorma ahamba kuko ukujonga ulutsha kwiikhamera. Abazange benze enye imovie kunye. Yayiyindibaniselwano yabo ye-13, kwaye yabaphumelela-kunye nomntu ogama lingu-D. M. Marshman Jr. UMarshman wayengumdlali we-poker we-Wilder's igalelo lakhe eliphambili laliphupha isithuba seminyaka emibini phakathi kukaNorma noJoe nokumguqula abe yindoda egciniweyo.
Esoyika ukusabela okungathandekiyo kumfanekiso bhanyabhanya wokutshutshiswa kweshishini lefilimu, iskripthi sasigcinwa siyimfihlo ephezulu kwaye sinesihloko Itoti yeembotyi Ngexesha lokuvelisa. Olo loyiko lwajika lwaba lolokwenene: Kumdlalo bhanyabhanya obonisa ubukrelekrele, uLouis B. Mayer oqaqambileyo wabamba uWilder wamtyhola ngokuluma isandla esimtyisayo.
I-Wilder, soze kubekho umntu oza kuphulukana nokuziphatha okuhlekisayo, ukudubula kwakhona!
