Iinkwenkwezi zikaVanessa Hudgens kwindima yesikhundla kwimveliso entsha ye-Broadway yeLerner & Loewe's Izinyo . Idweliswe njengeNombolo yama-56 eMelika IZiko leMiboniso bhanyabhanya leminyaka eli-100 ... Irekhodiwe ngumntu wonke ukusuka kuPerry Como ukuya kuHugh Hefner ukuya kuGérard Depardieu. U-Liza Lerner, intombi ka-Alan Jay Lerner kwaye ngoku ungumyili wezinto zangaphakathi eManhattan, ukhumbule kuthi ukuba utata wakhe, engu-Daddy, wamxelela ukuba wabhala umfuziselo womculo Izinyo -Kubulela izulu lamantombazana amancinci - yakhe nodadewabo.
Eyaziwayo ngokusebenza kwe-iconic yokucoca u-Maurice Chevalier: I-Zank 'eye, ye-leetle girrrls, yiyo Kunzima ukuphuma entlokweni kabani yakuba ilapho. Kodwa nini Izinyo ivula ku-Broadway ka-Epreli 8, ingoma ayizukuqala umboniso, njengoko yenzayo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya wegama elifanayo. Kwaye ayizokuculwa yindoda. Ezi zimbini nje zotshintsho olukhulu olwenziwe kumculo othandwayo-iminyaka yeenqununu, iingoma, ukulahlwa kwababekade becocekile abantwana beDisney njengeyona nto iphambili- xa isiya kwiNdlela eNkulu emhlophe kwaye, ngokulungileyo okanye kugula, inkulungwane yama-21
Izinyo , owaphumelela ii-Oscars ezilithoba ngo-1959, wayengowokugqibela kumculo omkhulu we-MGM kwaye wayenenkwenkwezi uLeslie Caron, ngoku ukwiminyaka yama-80s, njengendoda enomtsalane yokuqeqeshwa e-Belle Époque Paris. Ngoku, ibuyele ku-Broadway kulo nyaka ngebhajethi yezigidi ezili-12, ukujolisa, ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba elithile, intombazana elishumi elinesibini eyenzileyo Ungendawo kwihlabathi liphela ka-ching impumelelo. (UVanessa Hudgens, owafika ebudaleni kwiDisney ethandwa kakhulu UMculo weSikolo samabanga aphakamileyo uthotho, kwaye ikwangumlingisi we-Zac Efron, odlala uGigi). Kodwa ngaba ibali likamakhulu okwishumi elivisayo limlungiselela ubomi njengempahla yesondo kummangaleli oselemdala kanye kanye ngoluhlobo lwebali, laze laveliswa ngobunono kwaye lafumana amanqaku amahle (Ubusuku ababengenise iChampagne, ndiyabukhumbula kakuhle,) ndifuna ubona?
Iqela elitsha lokuvelisa lithathe umceli mngeni wokuhlaziya Izinyo ukuhlonipha ukubaliswa kwamabali othando kunye nehlabathi elidala laseParis ngelixa lihlengahlengisa iimvakalelo abantu abanazo namhlanje, ngokomvelisi ophambili, uJenna Segal. Kwaye ezo mvakalelo zibalulekile.
Ayisiyo 'Enkosi Izulu Ngamantombazana Amancinci Ukuze Ndibe Nokwabelana Ngesondo Nabo,' yoma ngokuqapheleyo ummeli weendaba kulo mboniso, kodwa ngoba, njengoko ingoma isitsho, bakhula ngeyona ndlela imnandi.
Umbhali (kunye nombhali kwakhona) uHeidi Thomas uthethe no Umjongi Ukusuka eWashington, D.C., ngasekupheleni kweveki ephelileyo, ngaphambi nje komboniso weeveki ezine eziqhutywa e-Kennedy Centre. Umbhali wase-Bhritane, (ngubani obhalileyo KwiCranford , entsha Kumgangatho ongaphantsi, kwaye Biza umbelekisi) , Unxibelelwano kumboniso weza kwasekuqaleni kobomi: Utata wakhe wacebisa umama wakhe ukukhwela imoto ekhaya ungaboni Izinyo kwindlu yebhanyabhanya yaseLiverpool. Utshilo uNkosazana Thomas: Umboniso bhanyabhanya omkhulu wothando uyayenza loo nto, uphelela ebomini njengeglasi ye-champagne.
Kodwa u-Nksk. Thomas ugqithisile ngokupheleleyo kwiskripthi. Kwimeko apho, uthathwe ngokungakhathali Ndiyabulela ezulwini ephuma emlonyeni womlingiswa weChevalier kwaye wayinika ii-stand-ins zoomama bakaGigi. Ipowusta entsha yokwazisa yomculo.
Into kaMaurice Chevalier-njengomntu ogqwethekileyo yayindixhalabisa kakhulu xa ndiqonda indlela enzulu ngayo kwabanye abantu, utshilo uNkosazana Thomas. Bendingakhathazeki kangako ndiqonda ukuba ubukhulu becala isekwe kubantu abaphulaphule kuphela imigca emibini yokuqala yengoma… Oko kungaphaya kokuhlomla kumaxesha ethu, ndiyacinga. UNks Segal uqaphele ukuba ngokuseta kwakhona ingoma, ndicinga ukuba ubumbano buphelile.
Izinyo umculo, ukhokelwe nguVincente Minnelli, usekwe kwinovella yantlandlolo yango-1944 ngumbhali ongumFrentshi uColette, owathi emva koko walungiswa kumdlalo we-Broadway ka-1951 obhalwe ngu-Anita Loos. (Umdlalo obalaseleyo u-Audrey Hepburn.)
Inguqulelo yefilimu iqala nge-Chevalier's avuncular playboy ebeka ezopolitiko eFrance malunga nenkulungwane apho uninzi lwabantu eParis lutshata… kodwa abo ndiza kuthanda ukungatshati kuhlala kungamadoda, kwaye abo yenza ukungatshati kuhlala kungabafazi. Ngoku, umculo uvula nge-paean kwiSixeko sezibane-iParis yiParis kwakhona, ebhalwe ngo-1973-kwaye iseta ithoni eyahluke kakhulu.
Icebo ngokwalo ligxile kuGilberte ophefumlelweyo, okanye uGigi njengoko ebizwa nguninakhulu, omthumelela izifundo kubugcisa bokutsalela amadoda awanikwa ngumakazi wakhe omkhulu uAlicia, naye owayekhe wasidla umhlala-phantsi. UGaston yiroué ediniweyo kwihlabathi (uLouis Jourdan kwifilimu) ephosa bucala abafazi njengoko edinwa ngabo, kunye nomhlobo wosapho lukaGigi. Emva kokumphatha iminyaka njengodade omncinci othandekayo, uyathandwa nguGigi kwaye ucebisa ukuba abe yinkosikazi yakhe. (Ngo-2015 eMelika, qaphela iDateline’s To Catch Predator.) Nangona iyile nto ayiqeqeshelwe-ishishini losapho, oko kukuthi-uyala.
Kwifilimu, umba othintekayo wobudala uphathwa ngempumelelo. UCaron uyanqoba kwaye uyakholelwa njengomntu ofikisayo xa ibali liqala. Kwaye xa uGaston eqonda ukuba ukhulile kodwa ebemthanda ngalo lonke eli xesha, yinto enomtsalane, ayifanelekanga, umzuzu.
Kodwa abavelisi abathathi mathuba nge-queasy subtext kwimozulu yangoku. Mdala kangakanani uLolita ngoku? Kwi-novella ka-Colette, ebhalwe ngeentsuku ezimnyama zaseParis, uGigi uqala ibali eneminyaka eli-15. I-Loos idlala inonyaka ukuya kwi-16. (Ngo-1900, kwakungeyonto ingaqhelekanga ukuba umfazi osemtsha atshate ngelo xesha UNks.Thomas ubeka inkulungwane yakhe yama-21 ethatha umlinganiswa engakhange afikelele kwinqanaba le-18 kwaye wenza uGaston malunga neshumi leminyaka emncinci kunelo bhanyabhanya, engama-25-ukugcina ukuchaneka kwembali evela kubaphulaphuli abangxolayo.
Kodwa le nxalenye yokuchaneka kwezopolitiko iza nexabiso, kunye nokubulawa kwemibuzo: Ngaba uGigi akazukubonakala ngathi ubuya umva kancinci kubaphulaphuli bolutsha ekujoliswe kubo? Ngaba uGaston akazubonakala ngathi uyisidenge ngokungamqapheli ngaphambili? Ngaba iqela lokuyila liyakhathazeka ukuba abaphulaphuli banokujonga Izinyo njengomntu ocula ngokwesini ngokwemvelo ecula i-brontosaurus?
Ndicinga ukuba lithuba elihle lokufundisa abantu, utshilo uNksk. Segal, umvelisi ophambili kunye nowayesakuba sisigqeba seViacom. Abantu bayalibala [incwadi] ibhalwe ngabafazi, ukuba umdlalo ubhalwe ngumfazi. Ayisiyokwabelana ngesondo njengokuba ibonisa isipili ukuba ubomi babasetyhini babunjani kwaye bunjani nangoku. Abasetyhini bayayiqonda into yokuba amadoda akubetha umlozi xa uhamba ezitalatweni kwaye xa ufikelela kwiminyaka engama-30 okanye engama-40 ubudala — abayenzi loo nto.
Ndisoloko ndifumana uGigi ukuba abe ngumlinganiswa onika amandla kwabasetyhini. Wayekuqonda ukuba ufuna ntoni ngobomi bakhe kwaye wayeza kwenza le nto ayifunayo ayazi.
