Inkwenkwe eyayibophelela umoya .INetflix Sima nini ukulahlekelwa? Umama oselula, u-Agnes (Aïssa Maïga), ubuza umyeni wakhe uTrywell (Chiwetel Ejiofor), umfama oziphilisa ngokutya eMalawi kumzantsi-mpuma we-Afrika.
Ngelo xesha kwifilimu (esekwe kwibali eliyinyani) esi sibini besikade sikwi-streak enkulu. Emva kwexesha elinzima lemvula elalichithe izityalo zabo, babehambe ixesha elingaphaya kwenyanga besitya nje ukutya kube kanye ngemini (akuzange kuncede ukuba iivenkile zabo zombona ziphangiwe). Ngeli xesha, intombi yabo (uLily Banda) wabashiya ngenxa yoko wayeza kuba ngumlomo omncinci wokutya, kwaye unyana wabo uWilliam (uMaxwell Simba) wanyanzelwa ukuba ashiye isikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kuba babengenakho ukuhlawula iifizi.
Rhuma kwiNcwadana yeendaba yoMbonisi
Ithamsanqa lika-Agnes noTrywell liqala ukutshintsha kungekudala emva kokuba ebuze umbuzo kwiveranda yendlu yakhe encinci, unyana wakhe olusana ubotshelelwe emzimbeni wakhe kwisilingi. Kulapho ke uWilliam oselula okrelekrele, owabhala incwadi esekwe kuyo, ekugqibeleni waqinisekisa utata wakhe ukuba amvumele ukuba athabathe ibhayisekile yosapho kwaye akhe i-wind-harnessing windmill emva kwendlu yabo eya kuthi ixhase impompo yamanzi iwavumele ukuba zikhula ngexesha lonyaka elomileyo. Ngelo xesha, i-movie yayisele iphelile. Ukuhamba ngokwemigangatho yemveli yaseHollywood apho sonke siqhelene kakhulu nayo, umyinge wemeko yokuphelelwa lithemba kukhuthazo olukhuthazayo luthambekele ngokuthe ngqo kwicala elibi.
Kodwa ezandleni zeAward Award-umdlali owonyuliweyo kunye nomlawuli wokuqala wombhali uEjiofor, iyasebenza- intle kwaye iyahamba. Nangona kulucelomngeni ukubona indlela elingena themba ngayo imeko yosapho lakwaKamkwamba kunye nabanye abantu belali ngaphambi kokuba izinto ziqale ukuba ngcono, ixesha elongezelelekileyo linika u-Ejiofor amandla okuphonononga ngokupheleleyo ubutyebi nobunzima bobomi basemaphandleni eMalawi, ukusuka kumasiko esizwe kwizidlo zosapho. Inkqubo ye- Iminyaka eli-12 ndilikhoboka Inkwenkwezi, eyayilungiselela ifilimu ngokuchitha ishumi leminyaka isazi abantu baseMalawi kwaye ifunda ulwimi lwabo, inobulumko kwaye ibandakanyeke ngokwaneleyo ukuba ingenzi oku kube ngumzobo wobundlobongela, kodwa umfanekiso onolwazi olunzulu kwaye ubonakalise ngokupheleleyo inkcubeko thina (kubandakanya nalo mgxeki) besisazi okuncinci malunga.

U-Ejiofor uncediswa kwimizamo yakhe ngumboniso bhanyabhanya omangalisayo kaDick Pope, ixesha elide uMike Leigh DP kunye nomnxibelelanisi weRichard Linklater. Ifilimu ithatha usetyenziso olupheleleyo lokukhanya okungathathi nje kuphela indawo kodwa ikwenza ukuba abadlali babonakalise okuninzi ngelixa bebonakala ngathi benza okuncinci. Le ndlela isebenza ngokulinganayo nokuba ikhamera iqeqeshiwe okokuqala-qaphela isimanga apho umlingisi oselula uMaxwell Simba adibana khona nesibane kwibhayisikile katitshala wakhe esikhanyisayo xa iiphedali zijika-okanye igqala lesikrini njengo-Ejiofor. Wazilawula ngokwakhe, umdlali weqonga unika iklasi yobuchule obunjalo ekuhambiseni iziphumo zengqondo nezomzimba zendlala ongaziqondi ukuba wayezenza de ucinge ngazo emva kweeyure.
Ukubamba kukaEjiofor ngamabali kubuchule obulinganayo. Lo mboniso bhanyabhanya unokuba lula ukuba ngumdlalo weqonga ekwabelwana ngawo kaWilliam Kamkwamba Intetho yeTed , kwaye ube luhlobo lwecephe leswekile, i-Disney-fied tale yokuphakamisa enokuthi ibonakale ngokulula kwaye ithengiswe. Kodwa uxela ibali elityebileyo, elizisa imiba emikhulu esihlala sixoxa ngayo ngethiyori-ukugawulwa kwamahlathi, ukoloniyalizim, ukutshintsha kwemozulu-ukuya kwinqanaba le-granular, elisondeleyo.
Kule mxube we-cinematic kunye nosapho, umboniso bhanyabhanya uphinda ukhuphe enye iNetflix, ERoma. Njengokuwina kuka-Alfonso Cuarón kathathu ophumelele u-Oscar, le yeyona bhanyabhanya ngokuqinisekileyo enamava anomvuzo kwiscreen esikhulu, apho umntu anokuntywiliselwa ngokupheleleyo kubomi belali yaseMalawi. (Ukongeza ukubakho ukusasaza kwiNetflix, umboniso bhanyabhanya, owaqala ngeSundance, ufumana ukukhutshwa komdlalo kumda omiselweyo.) Nangona kunjalo uyalijonga, amandla ebali Inkwenkwe ewudibanise Umoya isixelela ayinakuphikwa njengomfanekiso wayo ovula amehlo wale nkcubeko iyodwa yaseAfrika.
