Ndiqala ukucinga ukuba kunokubakho into yokucinga ukuba iifilimu zaseHollywood zinemiyalezo kaSathana. Kodwa andiqinisekanga ukuba yinto embi.
Ingcinga yaqala ukuvela kum emva kokungena kwingxoxo ende nomhlobo malunga neengxoxo eziphikisayo zikaSathana zeAngel Heart, umntu opholileyo ophantsi kolwaphulo-mthetho, kunye nefilimu enokuba yeyokuqala kwinto endiza kuyibiza ngokuba ngumtshangatshangiso weSatanist eHollywood iifilimu. Umtshangatshangiso obonakala ngathi uyakha, ungena kwimveliso ephambili yaseHollywood. Ukubonisa, umzekelo, kuzo zonke izinto-iKrisimesi yokugqibela 'uArnold Schwarzenegger isenzo blockbuster Ukuphela kweentsuku.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuba sifike kuMnu Schwarzenegger, makhe sithethe kancinci nge-Angel Heart. Ngaba uyazi? Okokuqala, musa ukukhutshwa yinto yokuba inkwenkwezi kaMickey Rourke, uya kuzilimaza kuphela, uzinqande ulonwabo lokwenene kunye noloyiko lwale filimu. (Ngaphambi kwexesha likaMnu. Rourke's Mannerist kunye nokufakelwa kwemihlathi kunye nayo yonke into.) Ngokukrakra, yenye yezona zinto zinamava ezona zimbi nezothusayo endakha ndazifumana. Umhlobo wam wayechaza ukuyibona ivula ebusuku-kwaye emva koko esiya ethekweni apho ubunokuxelela khona ukuba ngubani obone i-Angel Heart kwimbonakalo ebuhlungu ebusweni babo. Awunakutsho malunga neemovie ezininzi (ngaphandle kwePatch Adams, kodwa kungenxa yesizathu esahlukileyo, uhlobo olwahlukileyo lokubethwa).
Ukuba ushukunyisiwe kukuphela kweSense Sense, ukuphela kweAngel Heart kuyayikhupha kwimephu. Ikhredithi kufuneka iye kwincwadi yomcuphi kaWilliam Hjortsberg, i-Falling Angel -Raymond Chandler wawela kunye noEdgar Allan Poe, nomoya othukileyo kaMarlowe kaGqirha Faustus.
Kodwa u-Alan Parker, owabhala kwaye wakhokela u-1987 igama lefilimu, wenza umsebenzi omangalisayo wokuwuguqula waba ngamava ombono ovakalayo womoya, ukukhutshwa kweNew York kunye neNew Orleans phakathi kweminyaka yama-50 oko kuyanyanzelisa, kunokuphinda kuphindwe kubekhona.
Kunzima ukuthetha ngayo ngaphandle kokunika isiphelo, kodwa ndiza kuthetha endaweni ka-Angel Heart 's njengohlobo lwe-hybridi yohlobo lukaSathana oludibanisa imixholo yemveli yamaLuciferian kunye nokuqhekeka kwindawo entsha yeengcinga kubuSathana banamhlanje.
Ngaphambili ngokwesiko, uneenkwenkwezi ezimnyama ezijika-jikwa nguRobert De Niro njengoLouis Cyphre, uLusifa onxibe ngokugqwesileyo enebhokhwe evalelwe ngokugqwesileyo kunye nenqaba yomhlolokazi ekhangeleka njengoSathana ojika isithethe sokuqhekeka nokutya iqanda elibilisiweyo kwenye yezona zinto zibalulekileyo nezothusayo zeshishini owakhe wazibona. AmaGrike athi iqanda luphawu lomphefumlo, uMnu. De Niro uxelela uMnu. Rourke, phantse ngokungeyomfuneko ngelo xesha, njengoko egxobha i-jeli emhlophe kunye ne-yolk.
Kwakhona, ngaphandle kokonakalisa iAngel Heart kwabo bangakayibaleki kwaye bayirente, into oyiqondayo emva kwethutyana kukuba uMnu.De Niro umele into enokubizwa ngokuba ngumqobo wobuSathana banamhlanje: USathana njengearhente yokuziphatha okulondolozayo. Umyalelo. USathana njengomnyanzelisi ojezisa ukona okungaphaya komntu. USathana osebenza, esazi okanye engasebenzi, njengomfundisi-ntsapho wezifundo ezincinci ngendlela eqinisekisa izilumkiso zonqulo ngokuchasene nokubuza umthetho kaThixo.
Ungayibona le nto nakwi-Al Pacino igqwetha lakutshanje likaLuciferian kwiGqwetha likaMtyholi. Ewe uphumile eba imiphefumlo yamadoda ukuze athuthunjiswe ngonaphakade nayo yonke loo nto, kodwa ulwaneliseko lokwenyani abonakala ethatha ngalo yindlela entle yokurhwebeshela kwakhe umzekelo wendlela esebenza ngayo ubucwebe-bucwebe kulungelelwaniso lokuziphatha apho angaphezulu kwesicaka okanye i-scenarist. Ukudala i-fabliaux encinci eqinisa abaphulaphuli ukuba boyike kodwa baphendule ngcwele. Ungumnyanzeli kaThixo, ungcono kancinane kunendoda repo kaThixo, ethimba imiphefumlo engaphumeleliyo ukwenza intlawulo yazo kwi-Big Guy.
Phezulu, i-Angel Heart imele loo mxholo wokuziphatha kukaSathana. Ekugqibeleni, isohlwayo sikanaphakade sokutsha esihogweni sidibana nesohlwayo sokugqibela senkqubo yezobulungisa kulwaphulo-mthetho, isitulo sombane: Uyakukutshisa oku.
Kodwa kwelinye inqanaba, elenza ukuba libe sisandulela soluhlobo lwe-neo-Satanist, i-Angel Heart igxotha umntu ngokungabaza indlela yokuziphatha ngokwesiko, ekubuzeni ubunjani bentliziyo yomntu, ukubeka isihogo hayi kwindawo ethile engaphantsi komhlaba kodwa phaya, ngaphakathi kuthi. Ukuthetha oku ngokungathandabuzekiyo kunye nokuthotyelwa (ukuze ungonakalisi) ayenzi bulungisa kwingqondo ephazamisayo ngokunzulu yokusasazeka kweAngel Heart ikushiya nayo.
Ikwabelana ukuba kunye neefilimu ezimbalwa zemveli zikaSathana, ikakhulu iRosemary's Baby engenakuthelekiswa nanto, apho uloyiso lukaSathana, nangona lufezekisiwe kulawulo lwendabuko lokulungileyo nokubi, luvalelwa njengophazamiso olugulayo ukuba aluchasanga isimilo.
Kodwa intsholongwane yakutshanje emelwe ngu Mnu.Schwarzenegger Ukuphela Kwemihla inika umceli mngeni ongaphezulu kolo lawulo, nakwezona ndidi zokulungileyo nokubi, uThixo kunye noMtyholi, umceli mngeni onokuthi amandla kaMnu. Schwarzenegger angabi uyazi (okanye, ngubani owaziyo, mhlawumbi unguye, mhlawumbi ungomnye wabashuseli bakaSathana).
Ewe kunjalo, bekukho ukungqinelana okungahambelaniyo kobusathana obutsha kwii-The Usual Suspects; Kunzima ukungathandi uKeyser Soze (kunye noKevin Spacey's moniker Verbal Kint) okanye ubuncinci umbono kaKeyser Soze, uSathana ongaqhelekanga. Kodwa kum, abaSolwayo babezimisele kakhulu ukuba inyonga ukuba inyaniseke ngokwenene, kwaye phantsi kwezindululo zikaLusifa onamandla ngakumbi Ndiva kwa-neo-con endala enguMtyholi: sisidenge esibi, kodwa sisidwangube esibi esiqinisekisa ngokuziphatha negates.
Eyona nto ibhukuqa ngakumbi nguLusifa kumdlalo bhanyabhanya weSouth Park. Kulungile, mhlawumbi ayisiyongqumbo leyo, kodwa yintoni le isihogo, kufuneka ndiyichaze, kufuneka ndinyanzelise ukuba uyayibona, kuba uthando olungamanyala esihogweni phakathi kukaSathana noSaddam Hussein (olubona uthando lukaSathana lufunda uSaddam Ukusuka kuMars, uSathana uvela kwiVenus ukuze aqonde ukungafuni kukaSaddam ukuthetha nyani emva kokulala naye) kunokuba yeyona nto ihlekisayo kwifilimu kule minyaka ili-10 idlulileyo.
Kodwa masifike kwimovie ka-Arnold, Ukuphela Kweentsuku. Kulungile, phezu komhlaba kugqithisile kwaye kububudenge: Kusethwe kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo ngaphambi kwewaka leminyaka (uyayikhumbula yonke loo nto?) Xa wonke umntu ovela kubanquli bakaSathana abafihlakeleyo ukuya kwiqela elifihlakeleyo laseVatican lokulwa nabanquli bakaSathana. Ukujija ukuprofeta ukuba uSathana uza emhlabeni evela esihogweni ukuba azokutshata nenye intombazana ekhethekileyo eNew York. Kwaye ukuba uvala isivumelwano kwaye unkqonkqoze iibhutsi (okanye iimpuphu) kunye naye kwiyure engaphambi kobusuku ezinzulwini zobusuku bemillennium, sonke isihogo siza kukhululeka. Ubukumkani bukaSathana buza kuza, obukaThixo buya kutshitshiswa: Iya kuba sisiphelo seentsuku. Kuyathakazelisa, khawucinge ngayo, ukuba zombini iSouth Park kunye nokuphela kweentsuku zibonisa uSathana olungiselelwe kuloo mntu ukhethekileyo, uLusifa othandekayo. Ndicinga ukuba yinxalenye yeleo-neo-Satanist; yenze umntu abe ngumntu, yenza ingxaki yakhe ibe yinto esinokuyazi sonke, nangona jeez, ukuba awukwazi ukufumana amanqaku ashushu esihogweni, kulungile ukuba yiNkosi yoMmandla oMnyama kwasekuqaleni?
Ke, emva kokuba iyelenqe elintsokothileyo uArnold ebandakanyeka ekuzameni ukugcina le Ntombazana ikhethekileyo kude noSathana okungenani kule yure yokugqibela. Ibali lakhe kukuba wayefudula eyipolisa kunye nomlindi oqeqeshiweyo obomi bakhe babhujiswa xa amanye amapolisa awonakeleyo wangqina ngokuchasene nokuxhwilwa nokubulala inkosikazi yakhe kunye nomntwana.
Ngelixa zininzi izidubedube zobudenge, imoto kunye nokuleqana okuleqayo, ukungqubana okuyinyani kuqhuma kamva kumdlalo bhanyabhanya xa uLusifa, edlalwe nge-panache enkulu nguGabriel Byrne, ezama ukuphumelela uArnold ecaleni lakhe (kwaye afumane intombazana) ingxoxo yovukelo ngokungaqhelekanga. Yabona, uArnold waphulukana nokholo kuThixo (wachaza kwangoko kwimovie) emva kokuba ephulukene nosapho kubantu ababi. Usecicini lokubuza uThixo: Sibe nokungavumelani, umfana omkhulu uthi ngokunyanisekileyo, ukungavumelani noThixo: Ndifuna umfazi wam nentombi baphile. Amakhaya kaLusifa kule nto: Ubonisa uArnold uhlobo lwevidiyo enjenge-3-D efana nenkosikazi kunye nentombi yakhe kwimizuzu ngaphambi kokuba abantu ababi bangene. Kwaye ke mzuzu xa bebamba kwaye bababulala. U-Heoffers u-Arnold wenza isivumelwano: bonisa uSathana apho iintsuku zakhe zokufihla zifihliwe, kwaye uArnold angaphinda abuye aphile kwakhona. UArnold uyathandabuza kwaye uLucifer emva koko wenza le ngxoxo ilandelayo yobudemon:
Wayenako [uThixo] ukuyinqanda, kodwa akazange ayeke. Wakufumba, emva koko wakwenza waziva unetyala. Andenzi tyala. Khange ndiyenze into eyenzekileyo apha [ukubulawa kosapho luka-Arnold]. Wenze. Emva koko uqhubeka nokwenza ityala elikhulu ngokuchasene noThixo: Ngaba usecaleni lakhe? Nguye owathatha usapho lwakho. Andizange. Makhe ndikuxelele okuthile ngaYe. Ngoyena mntu uphantsi ngexesha lonke. Ufumene intatheli elungileyo. Kwenzeka into entle, ‘Kukuthanda Kwakhe.’ Kwenzeka into embi, ‘Uhamba ngeendlela ezingaqondakaliyo.’ Thatha la matshini wokushicilela ugqithisileyo abawabiza ngokuba yiBhayibhile. Bathini? 'Shit yenzeka,' Nceda. Wakuphatha njengodoti, wahamba ekukhanyeni kanye njengoko ndenzile. Andinguye umntu ombi.
Ndimele ndinike ikhredithi kuye nabani na obhale imigca kaLucifer. Ziyi-distillation yolwimi eqaqambileyo yengxaki ye-theodicy engacinezeli uArnold noLusifa kuphela kodwa nabefundisi bezakwalizwi. I-Theodicy, uyazi, yinkqutyana ye-theology efuna ukufumana indlela yokuxolelanisa uloyiso oluhlala lukho kwimbali yoluntu, ukubulawa kwabantu abamsulwa, ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi kunye nokuBulawa kwabantu ngenkohlakalo, ngelithi uThixo unamandla onke kwaye nje.
Ingxoxo kaMnu Byrne uyayenza ngendlela evakalisa ulwelo lwengxaki ye-theodicy njengoko ibonakalisiwe kum ngu-Yehuda Bauer, omnye wababhali-mbali abaphambili be-Holocaust kunye nomseki woqeqesho lwe-Holocaust Study kwi-University yaseHebrew. Wathetha into kum e-ofisini yakhe yaseJerusalem xa ndandiqhuba udliwanondlebe naye (ngencwadi yam, Ukuchaza uHitler), into endihlasele ngonaphakade emva koko: UThixo akanamandla onke kwaye ulungile. Ukuba unamandla onke, ukuba umzekelo uvumele ukubulawa kwabantu ngenkohlakalo, ukubulawa kwesigidi sabantwana ukuba kwenzeke, kwaye akenzanga nto ukuyinqanda ngaphandle kwamandla akhe, ngaphandle kwento yokuba ebefanele ukuba angenelele kwimbali kwizihlandlo ezingenakubalwa, ukuba, ngenene, ubuNtu, njengenye yezilumko ze-Orthodox, ziyinxalenye yecebo lakhe, emva koko, uMnu. Bauer wandixelela ngokulula nangokubuhlungu, ukuba uThixo nguSathana.
Kwelinye icala, ukuba uThixo ulungile kwaye unothando olwaneleyo lokunqwenela ukuyeka ukubulawa kwabantu abamsulwa kwaye woyisakele ngenxa yokuba eswele amandla (njengabathuthuzeli abaphambili njengoRabi Kushner xa Izinto Ezimbi Zenzeka Kubantu Abalungileyo ziphikisana ngoku) UThixo uyinto nje engenamsebenzi, andinamsebenzi wokwenza into enjalo, utshilo uMnu.
Yimpikiswano isithandi sobulumko u-JL Mackie saqala ukucaciswa kwinqaku elinempembelelo lowe-1955, Ububi nangoMandla Onke, kwiphephancwadi i-Mind. Yimpikiswano amakholwa akrelekrele efilosofi anjengoAlvin Plantinga asebenze nzima ukuphikisa ukusukela oko. Kwaye, njengoko benditshilo, iyangqinelana noko kutshiwo nguMnu Byrne kuArnold: Ukuba kukho into elungileyo eyenzekayo, yintando kaThixo, ukuba kwenzeka into eyoyikisayo, Uhamba ngeendlela ezingaqondakaliyo, kwaye akufuneki sibuze ukuba kutheni.
UMnu Byrne akayanga kude noMnu Bauer ngokuthi uThixo unguSathana wangempela (ukuba unamandla onke). Kodwa uyibeka xa esithi, andingomntu umbi apha. Ucinga ukuba ngubani ohambayo? Ngokwenza njalo uphantse waqinisekisa isithethe sobuSathana sobuSathana esibonakaliswe nguWilliam Blake kwingxoxo yakhe edumileyo yokuba uMilton wayekwicala likaMtyholi eParadesi elahlekileyo (uLusifa ngokulusizi, ebubugorha ngokwasesihogweni, uThixo ebeleke kakhulu).
Ndifuna ukuyenza icace into yokuba andikhuthazi ubuSathana apha, into endiyithethayo kukuba kuyahlaziya ngokubonakalayo ukubona ifilimu ebuza imibuzo elula, elula yokuhlonela uThixo edlula kwi-theodicy kwinkcubeko ethandwayo nakwiifilimu ezithandwayo. I-theodicy eneengqondo ezilula evumela abazali bomntwana owasindayo ukubulawa eColumbine ukuba anike lonke uzuko kuThixo-yayiyinto yakhe ayenzayo, wagcina umntwana wam. Okushiya abazali bomntwana obulewe ukuba akhethe phakathi kokucinga ukuba uThixo ufuna ukuba umntwana wabo asweleke kwaye athethe isilwanyana esinyanisekileyo ngoThixo esihamba ngeendlela ezimangalisayo.
Uyibona iphinde iphindaphindwe, inkohlakalo eyoyikisayo yabantu abasinde kwintlekele yendalo, umzekelo, inkanyamba, belila bexelela iikhamera zikamabonakude ukusinda kwabo konke ukuthanda kukaThixo, ngaloo ndlela bexelela abamelwane babo abalahlekelwe ngumama okanye umntwana uThixo kufuneka Bafuna ukuba bafe. Kodwa nje akukho lula njengaleyo. Le asiyonkolo yenkolo ephumelele nzima, le yinkohliso enesidina-njengokuganga. Inkolo yenkolo ifuna umceli mngeni we-theversive theodicy kwiintsuku zokuphela okanye ayithethi nto. Kubuhlungu ukuba ekuphela komthombo wokuthandabuza ubuchwephetsha bokufa okuchukunyiswe yingelosi- inkcubeko ethandwayo kufuneka ize kumdlalo bhanyabhanya we-neo-Satanist u-Arnold Schwarzenegger, kodwa kufanele ukuba sinombulelo ku-My Dark Lord Arnold ngokuba nesihlunu sokukuzisa kuthi.
Nditshilo, Nkosi yam emnyama uArnold?
Andazi ukuba kwenzeke ntoni kum. Ndithetha ukuba umdlali olungileyo uArnold, kunjalo.
