I-Suburban Ennui: UDavid Fincher's 'Gone Girl' yinto enkulu, entle yokuhla

Ukuziqambela, okungekho ngqiqweni, okungacwangciswanga ngaphezulu kunye nokufakelwa njenge-artichoke yodongwe, kaDavid Fincher Intombazana engekho yenye into ecekeceke efihliweyo njengoyolo lwengqondo malunga nokuqhekeka komtshato wokubulala endikufumanayo yenye yezona zinto zidanisayo. Ngasihlandlo sithile, ndaguquka ndaza ndaya kwelinye ibhinqa elaliseduze kwam — inenekazi eligxekisayo eligxeka umboniso bhanya bhanya — ndalibuza, 'Ngaba ikho into evakalayo kuwe? Akukho nelinye kuwo, uphendule watsho. Ke kutheni le nto ithotywa ngamatye ngokungxama njengendawo yokubetha? Kwaqhwatywa izandla ekupheleni kovavanyo endandikhe ndaya kulo kwakudlamkile, kwaye uphononongo endilufundileyo luxubene ngokukrokra. Omnye umzekelo, ndiyaqikelela, ngendlela yanamhlanje yokuxokozela, ukuphendula ngendlela engaphaya kwento kuyo yonke into edidayo, ukuntywila ngaphezulu kunye nokuntywila kulwazi olugqithisileyo. Intombazana engekho uphila ngokuvisisana nazo zonke ezi zinto zingasentla — emva koko ezinye. Kukungacetyiswa okungalunganga kunye nokungaphumeleli okungafunekiyo okubonisa ingcibi eyincutshe kwisiqingatha semasti, iphosa ujikelezo kwimpikiswano encinci.

Andizange ndiyifunde le ncwadi nguGillian Flynn, kodwa ngaba ngokuqinisekileyo yayinokuba yinto ephosakeleyo kwaye yenziwe njengemovie ayicelwe ngokungafanelekanga ukuba ayilungiselele kuyo? Incoko iyahlekisa kakhulu NgoMgqibelo ebusuku lumo. Ewe, inoluhlobo lwecebo elifunekayo elijija uninzi lwabantu ekuthiwa ngabagxeki njengezixhobo eziyimfuneko zokwenza izinto ezonwabisayo zisebenze, kodwa akukho namnye kubo ophakama ngaphezulu kwenqanaba le-gimmickry okanye isiseko sayo nayiphi na inkuthazo esengqiqweni. Okubi kunakho konke, ngaphandle kokudlala kakuhle kumlingisi oqaqambileyo, umlawuli uMnu Fincher wenza ubundlobongela ngobuchule kunye neetempo zakhe ezingaguqukiyo ngendlela ebalisayo, imovie yindinisa eyothusayo. Yintoni ekusenokwenzeka ukuba isebenze ephepheni ilinda abantu abasebenza kumdlalo bhanyabhanya balunyulwe ekuxhelweni kwe-cinematic bayeke ukuzonwabisa. Idunyisiwe ngenxa yolwakhiwo loncwadi, imovie inazo kakhulu. Andikhumbuli okokugqibela ndandinemizuzu emininzi yokuphumla ebumnyameni ndijonga iwotshi yam.

I-palaver yokuziqhenya iqala ngomtshato waseNew York womtshato kaNick Dunne (igama eliqala yonke into kwinqaku elihlekisayo kubaqalayo; ngaba kungenzeka ukuba umbhali akazange ave ngoDominick Dunne, osoloko ebizwa ngokuba nguNick?) Kunye no-Amy Elliott, intombi yomama ohlekisayo owenza inqanaba lokuphila-ukulawula ubomi bentombi yakhe kuthotho oluyimpumelelo Amy omangalisayo Iincwadi zabantwana ezithi, ngokuyintloko, zibonakalise ubuntwana bakhe. UNick (uBen Affleck) kunye no-Amy (obalaseleyo u-Rosamund Pike, othe watyebisa iimuvi zabanye abantu ixesha elide kangangokuba kuyinyani ukumbona ebonakala njengenkwenkwezi yakhe) bobabini ngababhali bamaphephancwadi aseNew York abadibana nabathandekayo kwaye batshata bade U-2005, baphulukana nemisebenzi kunye nemali yabo, kwaye bafudukele kwidolophu encinci, eyintsomi eMissouri ukuze babeke utata wakhe ogulayo kwindawo yokuhlala.

Kwiminyaka emihlanu kamva, kumda wonyaka wabo wesihlanu, u-Amy wanyamalala emoyeni. Isenzo sokuqala somdlalo bhanyabhanya oza kwenza umdlalo ongcono kakhulu malunga nokuba ulusizi kangakanani u-Amy. Iiflashbacks zahluke kubomi bakhe bangaphambili obumnandi eManhattan kunye neendawo zakhe zokusebenza ezothusayo kwiindawo eziseMidwestern suburbs, kodwa kungenjalo angenzi nto ukukhanyisa imfihlakalo yoko kwenzeka ku-Amy. Ngaba wabulawa? Wonke umntu ucinga njalo.

Umthetho wesibini ususe iigiya kwaye ubonise iminyaka emihlanu efanayo ngokwembono kaNick ngelixa wayekhangela umfazi wakhe olahlekileyo ngoncedo lukadadewabo onemilomo (uCarrie Coon, oyena mntu unelishwa lomdlali ofuna ukuba ligama lekhaya) , umcuphi wenenekazi elirhabaxa (uKim Dickens) kunye negqwetha lezokhuseleko (uTyler Perry). Bafumana imikhondo kwidayari ka-Amy, nakwimbali kaNick ekwisikrini, kungancedi nganto. Ngelixa becofa iintsuku, beza nesigqibo sokuba u-Amy wayengumntu okrelekrele, onobuqhetseba onokuthi acwangcise ukunyamalala kwakhe kunye nokufa, ngaphandle kwaso esinye isizathu ngaphandle kokuphosa ulwaphulo-mthetho kuNick. Kwakhona, umbuzo: kutheni? Isizathu asiyomali; UNick akanalo. Kutheni kunjalo? ube ngumbuzo olula ozifumana ubuza kuwo imizuzu eyi-150.

Umthetho weThathu uthatha elinye ithuba lasekhohlo kwiindlela ezinqamlezileyo xa u-Amy ngokungummangaliso ejoyina abaphilayo kwaye eqala ukubala ukuya kwelinye kodwa kukugqibela. Ngokukhona iintsuku zihamba, uya kuba li-crazier. Indoda engenatyala, i-naïve ex-boyfriend ibonisa ukuba iyamnceda kwaye yambeka umqala ngesinqumli sebhokisi. Esi sityhilelo andisibonisi njengombhuqi (kukho izinto ezininzi ezothusayo ezizayo), kodwa ukubonisa indlela ekungekho namnye kweli cebo libaxekileyo enza ukuba umntu akhothe ngengqondo. Akusoze kwacaca ukuba kwakutheni ukuze uAmy amakhele uNick ukuze athinjwe kwaye akukho sizathu sokuba emva kwexesha amrhwebeshele umntu ukuba amdlwengule ngogonyamelo. Ukuhamba kwiikhamera zosasazo zivuza igazi, kubonakala ngathi ungomnye wabafazi abangathandekiyo baseDracula. Ngokucacileyo u-Amy uyisifo sengqondo esibuhlungu, nangona kungekho nto kwimvelaphi yakhe ebonisa ubugeza. UNick akanguye umyeni ovumayo ukuba uzenza ngathi unguye. Utshise isitofu esinye kwisitofu, naye. Akukho mntu uyingcambu okanye ukhathalele. Kwaye umboniso bhanyabhanya ucekeceke kakhulu ujongeka ngathi uhleliwe ngopinki.

Ukuhambahamba kwi-dimmick kwi-daze, uMnu Affleck ufana ne-8 x 10 ecwebezelayo, efanelekileyo ekubiyweni, kodwa ngokuxhalaba efuna i-Photoshopping. Njengommi oyityhefu ngaphandle kokugwetyelwa okungako, UNks uPike uyakwazi ukubangumntu ophikisayo kunye nokugungqa. UNeil Patrick Harris, odlala ngokuchasene nohlobo, uyityhefu yonke ebomvu yaseMelika. Abanye abalinganiswa bangena emfanekisweni-uLola Kirke kunye noScoot McNairy njengesibini esilahla inqwelo erhuqwayo esivela e-Ozark abaphanga u-Amy, owayenodliwanondlebe nomabonakude owayedlala ngokugqibeleleyo wayedlala ngokuthandekayo eSela Ward- kodwa zange babhatale ngokwenza naluphi na uhlobo lomnikelo odibeneyo kwisiza . Ayikho enye into ngaphandle kwephedi. Konke kubonakala ngathi kuyenziwe, akunanto kwezona mvakalelo zisisiseko zabantu. Nokuba kukuhlasela okunetyhefu emtshatweni, ikhupha izinto ezikhoyo endaweni yesimo sokufumana inyani.

Bendiyicaphukela eyakhe Intombazana ene Dragon Tattoo , kodwa ndihlala ndithanda ukungakhathali ebumnyameni, kwi-clammy engaphantsi komhlaba apho uMnu Fincher ebeka khona iifilimu zakhe ezothusayo ( Se7en , Iklabhu yokulwa kunye neyodwa yentsusa Ityala elinomdla kwiButton Button ). Ingenantsingiselo Intombazana engekho ayikho enye into ngaphandle kwetyala elicaphukisayo lokuqhayisa.
