UZoe Kazan uye waya kuvavanywa ngendima kaMaureen Grube kwi USam Mendes ’Ukuziqhelanisa Indlela yoHlaziyo , buhlungu URichards Yates Inoveli malunga ne-1950s ye-suburban angst, umlawuli we-casting wamnika ukukhawuleza, ukujonga okuthe kratya kwaye wamazisa ukuba mncinci kakhulu.
Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, uNkosazana Kazan-ngamehlo akhe amakhulu aluhlaza, izidlele ezikhukhumeleyo kunye neekherubhi, ubuso obunentliziyo- ujongeke kamnandi kakhulu ukuba angadlala unobhala obizwa ngelishwa obeka uFrank Wheeler otshatileyo, odlalwa ngu-34 oneminyaka engama-34 ubudala. ULeonardo Dicaprio . Kodwa uNks. Kazan, owayeneminyaka engama-23 ubudala nangonyaka ephuma eYale, wayezimisele. Andazi ukuba le nto ikhe yenzeke kuwe, kodwa ngamanye amaxesha udibana nomntu kwaye ucinga, 'ndizakumazi lo mntu,' emva koko uphele uthandana nabo, utshilo uNkskz Kazan ngenjikalanga yakutshanje eCafe. I-Colonial kwisitalato i-East Houston, njengoko wayethatha isaladi yeentliziyo zesundu kunye nenkukhu eyosiweyo. Ewe, ndaziva ndiziva ngaloo ndlela malunga neli candelo. Ndacinga, 'Lo ngowam.'
Ngelo xesha, uNks. Kazan-umzukulwana womlawuli ongasekhoyo Elia kazan (Abazali bakhe bangababhali besikrini UNicholas Kazan kwaye URobin Swift ) -Wayesele enamakhredithi okubambela anomdla. Emva kokuvela ngokuchaseneyo UCynthia Nixon phakathi Inkulumbuso kaNkosazana uJean Brodie kwaye kwi- UWilliam Inge ’S Buya, Sheba omncinci , Iindima ezimbalwa zeefilimu eziphambili zilandelwe: AmaSawa , Ukophuka kwaye Entilini yakwaElaha . Ngoku udlala uMasha, i-vodka-swigging depress in UAnton Chekhov ’S I-Seagull KwiWalter Kerr Theatre.
Xa iTransom yagcwala isidlo sasemini kunye naye, iinwele ezimdaka zika-Ms Kazan zazikhangeleka ngathi zisuswe nje kubusuku obudlulileyo Intlanzi yaselwandle ukusebenza. Enxibe ijean emnyama, ihempe ebomvu, iigwele ezibomvu, iiglasi kunye nenye yejezi ezinamakhwenkwe (awazifumana phantsi ngaloo ntsasa), umdlali weqonga akananto ingako Indlela yoHlaziyo Ngelishwa ke nave Maureen.
Unjalo umsulwa. Ngokwenene akazi ukuba kuqhubeka ntoni kwaye unoluvo olwahluke mpela ngokwenzekayo kunoFrank, utshilo uNkskz. Kazan. Ndicinga ukuba ngokuqinisekileyo ndifundile ngcono, ndinobuchule kwaye, uyazi, ndingumntu ongaphezulu kwendalo kunalaa ntombazana.
Ngaphandle kophicotho-zincwadi kathathu, apho uNkosazana Kazan afunde indawo apho umlinganiswa wakhe ehla khona ii-martinis ezimbalwa ezibizayo (kamva uphelela ebhedini noMnumzana DiCaprio), iminyaka kaNks. Umnumzana Mendes umeme umdlali weqonga ngengxoxo ye-9 e-ofisini yakhe kwisithili sokupakisha inyama.
Ndandisoyika kakhulu kangangokuba ndavuka ngentsimbi yesi-6 kusasa ndaza ndahamba-hamba ezantsi eManhattan kangangeeyure ngaphambi kokuba ndingene, wakhumbula.
Ngalo lonke ixesha uNkosazana Kazan ebephonononge uMnumzana Mendes, wayenxiba kwaye enze i-50s-style yakhe. Ngeli xesha, umphathi wamyalela ukuba eze enxibe njengaye. Bebezakuthetha nje, utshilo. Mhlawumbi baya kuphinda benze indawo; mhlawumbi akunjalo.
Ngaphezulu kwecroissant nekofu, Mnu. Mendes-ongumfazi wakhe, UKate Winslet , udlala umfazi kaMnumzana DiCaprio kwi-movie-wabuza uNkosazana Kazan ukuba kutheni efuna ukuba ngumdlali weqonga.
Ndimxelele inyani, eyokuba xa ndandisengumntwana, ndandinovelwano olugqithisileyo, utshilo uNkskz. Kazan. Ndaziva ngabantu abaninzi endingabaziyo, nokuba babengoonobumba encwadini okanye ndandikhwele ibhasi nomongikazi wam. Ndandifana nale ntliziyo inkulu, ihambayo. Ke ndiye ndaqala ukubamba njengendawo endinokubeka kuyo.
Umnqweno wakhe waxhokonxa, Mnu. Mendes wabuza ukuba uthini uNksk. Kazan ngoMaureen.
Ndicinga ukuba ngamanye amaxesha u-Yates 'misogyny ufumana indlela yakhe yovelwano, umdlali weqonga ukhumbule ukuxelela uMnu Mendes. Eyona njongo yam yokusondela kuMaureen, njengoko ndicacisele uSam, yayingekuko ukuba ndimgwebe, ndingamjongeli phantsi, kodwa ndimnike ithuba lokwenyani, uyazi?
Ngexesha lentlanganiso, khange baphinde bayenze indawo; UNks Kazan wayifumana le ndima.
Kwifilimu, uNks. Kazan uyayikhupha imilo kakuhle. Amehlo akhe othukileyo, amakhulu adlalela inzuzo yakhe; Uhleka ngokungakhathali; kwaye ubonakala elahliwe ngokugqibeleleyo xa uFrank emshiya ehamba ze, engagqunywanga lishiti, kwaye emxelela ukuba udumbile.
Inqunyulwe yabekwa kwindawo engenasiphelo ngoku, kodwa ndiyavuya, uyazi, ngenxa yabazali bam, UNkosazana Kazan uthe (wenze into ende enganxibanga Inkulumbuso kaMiss Jean Brodie ). Kananjalo, ibiyimini eshushu ngenene xa sasidubula kwigumbi likaMaureen eHarlem kungekho moya-moya, kwaye sonke sasincangathi kwaye sibala. Ezi yayingezizo ezona meko zibalaseleyo, njenge, indawo yokuhamba ze.
Emva kokuba begqibile ukwenza umboniso bhanyabhanya (kwaye uNks. Kazan wayenxibe ingubo yakhe), uMnu. DiCaprio wamwola wamxelela ukuba wenze umsebenzi olungileyo. Kodwa Nksz. Kazan-onesoka lakhe Kuya kubakho iGazi kwaye Mncinci uMiss Sunshine inkwenkwezi UPaul Dano -Akhange ibethwe kakhulu.
Ukutyunyuzwa kwam bekufana noku Humphrey Bogart okanye URobert Downey Omnci. Ngokwenyani bendihlala ndimbhalela iileta entolongweni, ngathi, 'Ndicela uzibambe, ungumdlali olungileyo, utshilo, ehleka. Ayikuko ukuba ndibathumile. Ewe, ndandingumnqa omncinci.
UNks. Kazan ukhulele eVenice Beach, eCalif. Ezi ntsuku uhlala eCarroll Gardens (Mnu. Dano uhlala kufutshane), kwaye akakhawulezi abuyele kwidolophu yakowabo.
Ndiyakuthanda ukubuya ekhaya ndisuka kwiTimes Square kwaye kufanelekile ukuba ibe ntle ngokwenene kwaye iluhlaza kwaye ibe nabantwana kunye neentsapho jikelele. Ukuba ndinokuhlala eBrooklyn imini yonke, bendizakuhlala, utshilo. Ndicinga ukuba ngumlingisi omncinci e-LA akukho mnandi kangako. Andijongi phantsi, kodwa kukulinda okuninzi ngeenxa zonke. Ukuba ulinde eNew York, ungahamba ngaphandle kwaye kukho amawaka ezinto ekufuneka uzenzile. Kwi-LA, ikwanti kwaye ikhuphisana kakhulu. Kwakhona, umzimba uphela womzimba — ndingathanda ukungazibandakanyi.
Utat'omkhulu kaNks Kazan-umlawuli owaziwayo weefilimu ezibhiyozelwa njenge Isithuthi esinegama lesitrato kwaye Kwindawo engaphambi kwamanzi owasweleka ngo-2003 eneminyaka engama-94 ubudala-kunqabile ukuba axoxe ngeefilimu zakhe okanye u-Ms Kazan uceba ukuba ngumdlali weqonga kunye naye.
Sasithetha kakhulu, njengokutya, i-backgammon kunye ne-baseball, ukhumbula uNkskz Kazan. Bendingazi ncam ukuba udumile de ndaneminyaka eli-12, kwaye nasemva koko, bekungaze kubonakale kubalulekile.
U-Ms Kazan wayekhona kumsitho we-Oscar ka-1999 apho uMnu Kazan, owayethe amagama amagama kwiKomiti ye-House Un-American Activities Committee ngexesha lamaxesha amnyama eHollywood, wanikwa imbasa yokuphumelela ebomini. (Abadlali UWarren Beatty , UMeryl Streep kwaye UHelen Hunt ngovuyo; UNick Nolte kwaye U-Ed Harris babehleli besonge izandla; USteven Spielberg baqhwaba izandla kodwa bahlala phantsi.)
Ndandineminyaka eyi-15, ndinomlomo ogcwele iibrashi kunye neenwele ezimbi kakhulu. Yayingengomsitho wobukhazikhazi kum, utshilo. Ukufumana ubunzima kwakhona, umdlali weqonga wavuma, yayiyinqaba. Kwiphephandaba le-LA, bekukho impikiswano eninzi malunga nokuba angalifumana na ibhaso, kwaye oko bekucaphukisa. Nantsi indoda endala kakhulu, eyayingaphilanga kangange-100 leepesenti, kwaye ndaziva ngathi, 'Musa ukumkhetha utatomkhulu wam!'
Emva Inkqubo ye- Intlanzi yaselwandle Ugqiba inyanga ezintathu ebaleka nge-21 kaDisemba, uNksk. Kazan uceba ukuthatha uJanuwari noFebruwari-ikhefu lakhe lokuqala lokwenyani ngaphezulu konyaka onesiqingatha-kwaye achithe ixesha elithe kratya noMnumzana Dano oneminyaka engama-24. (Aba babini badibana ngelixa besebenza Izinto Esizifunayo ngaphezulu konyaka odlulileyo; Kwindawo yokudlala ye I-Seagull , phantsi kwegama likaNks. Kazan, inqaku elincinci: Enkosi P.D. ngokuba liziko lam lomxhuzulane njalo .)
Abadlali bafumana impendulo engafanelekanga ngesizathu esivakalayo-sinokuba ngokuzingca ngokuzingca, sibambelele kwaye singumnqa, utshilo. Kodwa kumnandi xa ndifika ekhaya kwaye ndibuhlungu kwaye akazukucinga ngokuzenzekelayo ukuba ndikhathazekile ngento ethile. Uya kwazi ukuba bendidlala ngoMasha ubusuku bonke. Iya kuba njalo ngakumbi, 'Mandikufunele iglasi yewayini kunye nokutya kwaye sizole.'
Wongeze wathi: Ingcebiso yabazali bam xa ndiqala ukuthandana yayikukuba, 'Ungaze uthandane nomdlali weqonga.' Ke xa ndadibana noPaul, ndandifana, 'Hayi khawutsho, ndandingafuni ukudibana nawe!'
Oku kukhumbuze uNksk. Kazan ngelinye lamaxesha ambalwa ukuba utatomkhulu wakhe wavuma ukuba wayeceba ukuba ngumdlali weqonga kwaye wamnika neengcebiso. Wayemtyelele eYale kwaye wadibana nenkwenkwana awayethandana nayo — umfundi ofunde kancinci kwimibongo.
Owu, uyimbongi, utshilo uMnu. Kazan kumzukulwana wakhe. Akazukukwazi ukukuxhasa ukuba uceba ukuba ngumdlali weqonga.
