UTilda Cobham-Hervey udlala imvumi kunye ne icon yabasetyhini uHelen Reddy kwi-biopic Ndingumfazi .ULisa Tomasetti Yayiyinto eyoyikisayo endakhe ndayenza, uTilda Cobham-Hervey uyavuma kuMqwalaseli wamava akhe edlala imvumi yomculo we pop uHelen Reddy kwi Unopio Moon's biopic entsha Ndingumfazi . Iintsuku ezininzi bendizakufumana ukuseta kwaye ndihambe nje, 'Ndizakuyenza njani le nto eMhlabeni?'
Umdlali weqonga wase-Australia, ovela eAdelaide, wakhula njengomdlali weqonga kwaye waqala ukudlala iminyaka embalwa eyadlulayo, evela kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya efana Ihotele iMumbai , ngaphambi kokukhokelela kwindawo Ndingumfazi . Wayephoswa kwifilimu emva kwentlanganiso yeyure enye kunye neNyanga yajika yaba yincoko yeeyure ezintlanu kwaye uCobham-Hervey wayame ekubalulekeni kokudlala uReddy nangona wayenoloyiko.
Ndineentloni zokuba ndingazi isixa esikhulu ngaye, uphawula imvumi, eza kudumisa ngo-1970 kwaye yaphumelela iGrammy ngenxa yengoma yakhe ethi I Am Woman. Ndandisazi, ewe, ‘Ndingumfazi,’ kwaye ndandilazi igama lakhe, kodwa ndandingazi lukhulu ngobomi bakhe. Bendingazi ukuba uninzi lweengoma endikhulele kufutshane nazo zezakhe. Ke uvuyo lokwenyani lwale nkqubo lwalukwazi ukungena ngaphakathi kwaye ufunde lukhulu ngalo mfazi umangalisayo.
Ukudlala uHelen Reddy kwandityhala ukuba ndicinge ngeentlobo zamabali endifuna ukuwabalisa kwaye ndingalindelanga ukuba zize kum.
Wongeza, andikaze ndidlale umntu wokwenyani ngaphambili, ke yayililinge kunye nephutha. Ndicinga ukuba ekuqaleni ndibukele konke okusemandleni am, ndifunde kangangoko ndinako kwaye ndingene kumabali amaninzi kunye nakwii-anecdotes njengoko ndandinako ngaye. Kwakungathi unezinto ezininzi zeepuzzle kwaye kwafuneka ujikeleze kwaye ubone ukuba zeziphi ezifanelekileyo ngokwendalo. UHelen uneendlela ezithile zokuziphatha kunye nendlela ethile yokuthetha, kwaye bendifuna kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuba sithimba izinto ezaneleyo ngaye apho abantu banokumazi kum.
Ifilimu, ekwangumlingisi u-Evan Peters njengomyeni ka-Reddy owayengumyeni kunye nomphathi uJeff Wald, ulandela iReddy ukusuka kwi-24 ukuya kwi-48, egxile ekuphakameni kwakhe ekubekeni nasekubalulekeni njengophawu lobufazi bokuqala. Oko kwathetha ukuba uCobham-Hervey kwafuneka alungiselele ukudlala imvumi kwiminyaka eyahlukeneyo eyahlukeneyo, rhoqo ngemini enye ngenxa yeshedyuli yokudubula.
Iiveki zokuqala ezimbalwa zazisoyika, utshilo umdlali weqonga. Kude kube ngoku bendisenza iidrama ezincinci kakhulu ze-indie ezazinenguqulelo yam kakhulu. Ngeli xesha ndifumana le ndima ndandineminyaka engama-22-ndandineminyaka engama-23 xa sasiqala ukufota-kwaye ndidlala umfazi oneminyaka engama-24 ukuya kuma-48, unabantwana ababini, wayeyinkwenkwezi ye-70s yomculo kunye nomfanekiso wobufazi. Ngokwendalo ngokuqinisekileyo ndingenisa kwaye yayiyinto enkulu kum. Benditsibela kuloo nto, ke ngoku ithathe uhlengahlengiso kuyo. Ukuzama ukujonga ngaphaya kwayo yonke loo nto kunye nokuqinisekisa ukuba ndiziva ngathi kukho ubunyani bayo yonke loo nto yathatha ukuba iqheleke.
I-biopic yifilimu yokusebenza kakhulu kwaye iNyanga ifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba uhlobo lwefilimu kaReddy lubonisa uhlobo lwenene, ngakumbi kwizwi. Ubhalise imvumi yase-Australia u-Chelsea Cullen ukuba arekhode imidlalo yokugqibela ebonakalayo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya, kodwa uCobham-Hervey naye wenza bukhoma kwiseti ukuyenza ukuba izive ingenamthungo. Wayesebenza nomqeqeshi wezwi kunye nomqeqeshi wokuphefumla, kwaye wayecula yonke imihla kangangeeveki ezintandathu.
Sisebenze kunye ukuqinisekisa ukuba ndibetha amanqaku ngendlela efanayo, ucacisa uCobham-Hervey. Kwaye ndacula bukhoma kumhla obekiweyo kuba sasiziva ngathi ndifuna ukubonakala ngathi ndicula. Ndifundile ixesha elenziwe yiChelsea kwaye siza kubuyisana-wayezokwenza ushicilelo lokugqibela kwintsebenzo yam ukuze abambe iimvakalelo zalo ngokunjalo. UHelen unelizwi elingaqhelekanga kunye nelizwi elithile kangangokuba besifuna ngokwenene ukuqinisekisa ukuba bonke abalandeli bakaHelen-nabo bonke abantu abanethemba lokukhula bemthanda-bangasichonga eso sandi. 
Ndicinga ukuba into emnandi ngokumdlala kukuba ndiye ndoyama ngokuzithemba kwakhe, utshilo uTilda Cobham-Hervey ngokudlala uReddy Ndingumfazi .ULisa Tomasetti
UCobham-Hervey, ongakhange ahlangane noReddy de kube semva kokudutyulwa esongelwe, wabethwa kukufana phakathi kwento edlulwe nguReddy kwiminyaka yoo-70 kunye nendlela abasetyhini abaqhubeka ngayo belwela ukulingana namhlanje. Kukho ixesha elifanelekileyo kwifilimu ebetha kakhulu.
Lo mboniso bhanya-bhanya ubalaselisa indlela esisekude ngayo, utshilo umdlali weqonga. Umzekelo, abasetyhini banokuba namagama abo kwikhadi lebhanki, ababengenakuba nalo ngelo xesha. Kodwa isekhona indlela ende ekusafuneka ihanjiwe. Ndiyathemba ukuba le vidiyo ikhuthaza abantu ukuba baqhubeke bema kwaye balwa nezinto ezenziwa nguHelen. Ndicinga ukuba kubaluleke kakhulu ukujonga emva kwabafazi abeza ngaphambi kwethu. Andiqondi ukuba siza kuba nezinto ezifana nentshukumo yeXesha eliPhezulu kunye Nam Ngokunjalo ngaphandle kwabafazi abanjengoHelen abalwela izinto ezenza ubomi endibuphilayo namhlanje ukuba buyintoni.
Ukudlala kukaReddy kuchaphazele uCobham-Hervey ngendlela yokwenyani, hayi njengomdlali weqonga kodwa njengomntu. Indima yamenza waqonda ukuba ngamanye amaxesha kufuneka uthathe izinto ezandleni zakho, kwaye ekugqibeleni kokufota uCobham-Hervey ukhethe amalungelo kwinoveli kaMiriam Toews Irma Voth kwaye kutshanje ndigqibile uyilo lokuqala lwe-screenplay.
Ndicinga ukuba eyona nto intle ngokumdlala kukuba ndiye ndoyama ngokuzithemba kwakhe, utshilo uCobham-Hervey. Iphinde yandityhala ukuba ndicinge ngeentlobo zamabali endifuna ukuwabalisa kwaye ndingalindeli ukuba zize kum. NjengoHelen, bendithanda, 'Kulungile ukuba kukho into endifuna ukuyenza mhlawumbi kufuneka ndiphume ndiyenze.' Kuyandinyanzela ukuba ndicinge ngezinye iindlela onokuthi uthathe inxaxheba ngazo ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo onokuthi ube umculi kweli hlabathi. Kunzima kakhulu ukulinda ujonge izinto ofuna ukuzenza. Kwaye ngamanye amaxesha ukuba unomdla wento kuya kufuneka uphume uye kuzama ukuyenza loo nto kuba unokulinda ngonaphakade.
