| SOPHIE NELANGA ELIPHUMILEYO ★ ★ ★ Ibhalwe yayalelwa ngu: UMaggie Greenwald |
Yenziwe phantse ngabafazi ngokupheleleyo, le bhanyabhanya intle, ekhuthazayo yabhalwa yaza yalawulwa nguMaggie Greenwald onetalente ( Umbulali wengoma), Ukusuka kwinoveli ka-Augusta Trobaugh, kwaye yabekwa ngonyaka we-1941, xa iMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi yayisele iphanga iidolophu ezincinci uninzi lwabantu abakwiminyaka yobudala, ishiya abafazi emakhaya ukuze igcine umlilo wasekhaya uvutha. Ngenye imini yasekwindla, ngaphandle kweblue, ibhasi enqamlezayo yaseGreyhound yema kwindawo engacwangciswanga kwindawo yokugcina izinto eSalty Creek, eSouth Carolina, ukuyokufaka indoda eyonzakeleyo yaseAsia, engekho zingqondweni. Abahlali kule lali isemagqagaleni, sele bekrokrela abantu bangaphandle, zange bambona umntu wasemzini kwaye abanalo nofifi lokuba benze ntoni ngaye de umthetheli wenkundla athethe nomhlolokazi onobubele, u-Anne Morrison (Martindale), amngenise kwaye amncancise impilo. Xa eqala ukuphola emanxebeni akhe kwaye ubuso bakhe buqala ukumila kwakhona, uyothuka akufumanisa ukuba mhle, uthethe kancinci, uziphethe kakuhle, uzelwe ngumthonyama waseCalifornian yaseJapan ebizwa ngokuba nguGrover Ohta (edlalwa nguTakashi Yamaguchi omangalisayo osuka kuClint I-Eastwood Iileta ezivela ku-Iwo Jima kwaye I-Samurai yokugqibela kunye noTom Cruise), onomdla wokulima iguqula ipropathi yakhe entle kodwa eyothusayo yaba yindawo yokubonisa ubuhle. Ukuthembela kancinci kukhula okwabelwana ngako ngummelwane ka-Anne, uSophie Willis (ogqwesileyo uJulianne Nicholson). USophie ngumntu ozibandakanya ngokuzimela ongakhange aqokelele ndawonye imali eyaneleyo yokugcina le ndlu bayishiyelwe ngabazali bakhe, ngoku bewile, ngokuloba oononkala kwindawo esemaphandleni kunye nokuthengisa ukubambisa kwakhe kubapheki bendawo. USophie no-Ohta bakhulisa ubudlelwane obusondeleyo ngothando lwabo bobugcisa, umculo kunye neentyatyambo-ubuhlobo obukhula ngokufihlakeleyo bube luthando olunzulu.
Ukuthandana akwabelwana ngumntu wonke. Njengokuba imfazwe iqhubeka eYurophu kwaye i-rednecks esele ikrokrela ikhula ngokunganyamezeli kubakhenkethi baseMpuma ngemini, iqela elincinci labasetyhini eliquka uSophie, uMorrison kunye nomgcini wakhe wendlu uSalome (uLorraine Toussaint) bathathe isigqibo sokukhusela nokukhusela u-Ohta, bechasa abahlobo babo. kunye namanye amantombazana ahamba iintombi zeAmerican Revolution snobs ekhokelwa kukuhleba okuyintloko edolophini, umntu oxakekileyo kunye nomntu owenza ingxaki, uRuth Jeffers (uDiane Ladd). Izinto ziyahlakazeka kakubi kunye noxinzelelo lobuhlanga buza kubila xa ibhombu yaseJapan iPearl Harbour. U-Ohta ungummi waseMelika othanda uxolo, kodwa kubantu baseMzantsi Carolina usengumfokazi ongaqondakaliyo ngesikhumba somthunzi owahlukileyo kwaye, okubi ngakumbi, yiJap emdaka. Amajoni aseMelika amhlaba kwaye amshiya eswelekile endleleni, abaphangi bendawo batshabalalisa igadi kaMorison kwaye bonakalisa indlu yakhe, kwaye wonke umntu ujongene nekamva elingaqinisekanga apho izigqibo kufuneka zenziwe ziguqula ubomi babo ngonaphakade.
Abadlali babalasele. Ukubhalwa okungahambelaniyo kunye nolwalathiso lunolwazi. Ukuboniswa kwamacala amathathu kwabasetyhini abasemaphandleni eMzantsi ngethuba lemfazwe kuyancomeka. Ngokucacileyo, bebejolise kuhlobo olufanayo lokudibana njenge Nge-Agasti: kwi-Osage County (apho uMargo Martindale noJulianne Nicholson babedlala ngaphambili) kunye Uncedo. Bonke bangumzekelo, kubandakanya uDiane Ladd, ohlala nonyana wakhe ongasasebenziyo, wenza umsebenzi wesisa, unceda abahlobo abasweleyo kwaye uyala ukudlala iliva kwicala lomntu wonke njenge-bigot ecaphula eBhayibhileni, endaweni yokufumana into ye-Magnolia esemazantsi ethambileyo Iimpawu zomntu otyumkileyo zalahleka. Kuninzi okumelwe kukuncoma apha, kodwa libali elithandwayo lobuhlanga phakathi embindini wefilimu oziva ungacacanga, utyhafile, ungaphuhlanga kwaye ungathandeki. Amacala alungiswe kakuhle kwaye enziwe ngobunkunkqele, kodwa eyona khosi ayiphekwanga kwaye iyasilela kwincasa.
