Kwi 'Tea enamaDama', isithukuthezi ayisiyiyo inketho.Iifilimu ze-IFC Akunakubakho into efana nedame, kodwa xa amagama eyikota yabadlali abadumileyo baseBritane kwimbali-uJudi Dench, Maggie Smith, Eileen Atkins kunye noJoan Plowright- kwaye ungababona bobane kwiscreen ngaxeshanye ixesha besaphila kwaye bekhaba ngapha nangapha, emva koko utshixe ucango, uphosa isitshixo, kwaye ulungele ukunkqonkqozwa ngaphandle kwebhokisi yakho. Eli qela alinakuze lize ngale ndlela kwakhona.
Amaxesha ngamaxesha, aba bafazi babalaseleyo, bonke abahlobo bokuma okude (iminyaka engama-60 kunye nokubala) kunye namagcisa angenontanga athe ahlonitshwa nguKumkanikazi, ahlangana ukusela iti, ukutshintshiselana ngamarhe kunye neenkumbulo zorhwebo. Iti enamaGama sesinye sezo zihlandlo, kwaye uvunyelwe ukuba umamele ngaphakathi njengempukane eludongeni kwaye wabelane ngeqokobhe, uya kuziva ngathi uzikhuphile ngokwakho. Yibize ngokuba yi-gabfest. Yibhale njengolukhuphiswano lokuthetha. Kodwa Iti enamaGama, ikhokelwa nguRoger Michell, ingaphezulu kakhulu.

Ngexesha lenjikalanga kwilizwe elihle apho uJoan Plowright ahlala khona nomyeni uLaurence Olivier kunye nabantwana babo abathathu (ababini babo behla beza kuthi hello babonisa neefoto zosapho) umnqweno ophumayo ubonakalisa iingcinga, izimvo kunye nokukhumbula izihloko ezinjengobomi, uthando, uloyiko lwasesiteji, abantwana, istardom, izimbo zokubamba, kunye nokuqina kokuguga. UJoan Plowright uthathe umhlala-phantsi ekusebenzeni ngenxa yokungaboni kakuhle, kodwa usisa kukhenketho olukhokelwayo lwendlu, ehlaziya, ngamanye amaxesha ekhumbula iinkumbulo zikaLarry.
UJudi Dench, odlale yonke into ukusuka kuKumkanikazi uVictoria ukuya kumphathi kaJames Bond kwimidlalo bhanyabhanya ye-007, naye ulwa nokungena okungaboniyo, kodwa uqhubeka ngenkalipho kwimidlalo nakwimiboniso bhanyabhanya okoko umntu amkhokele ngengalo ukuya kumanqaku akhe. U-Eileen Atkins ubonakala engenakuphela amandla, kodwa njengoko usuku lisiya lisiya phambili, uMaggie Smith uyavuma ukuba akanamandla akhe awaphumelela ii-Oscars zakhe ezimbini. Ukujika kwikhamera, ujongana nomlawuli, ebuza uRoger, uyazi ukuba mingaphi iminyaka yethu? Ndidiniwe. Bonke baneminyaka engama-80, kodwa awusoze uqikelele.
Ngokungenalusini inyani, enoburharha obungendawo, basakwazi ukuba nelinye ilayers. Ngethuba lengxoxo ende kunye nokuphakamisa uCleopatra, abayijonga njengeyona ndima inzima kakhulu kaShakespeare kumfazi, ababini kubo basikhaba isabelo kuba besoyikela ukuba ababahle ngokwaneleyo kubaphulaphuli baseBritane. (Oko kukuthi, utshilo uDame Maggie, yiyo loo nto ndiyenzile eCanada.) Xa wayedlala indima kwiNational Theatre, uDame Judi wabuza nje kumlawuli uPeter Hall, Ngaba uqinisekile ukuba ufuna isinqandamathe sokuya exesheni sidlale uCleopatra?
Kodwa yile nto yena wayenjalo , udibana no-Joan.
Kwaye, wongeza uDame Judi, yindlela endandiyidlala ngayo.
UDame Eileen: Ndicinga ukuba abadlali abadlala u-Anthony bahlala beziva ukuba ngumdlalo kaCleopatra kuba yinxalenye engcono. Ubuncinci yile nto andixelele yona uAlan Bates.
UDame Maggie, acidly: Kungenxa yokuba wayefuna ukudlala uCleopatra.
Ukujonga emva kwiintsuku zabo zokuqala kukhokelela kwii-anecdotes ezihlekisayo ongazukufumana koovimba bephephandaba. UMaggie Smith, owayecula kwaye engqungqa Ubuso obutsha (Inkampu eyiyo!), Ukhumbula ukuba umsebenzi wakhe wokuqala wokubambela emva kwesikolo sedrama yayiyinkwenkwe yaseTshayina kwi-opium den, inkcazo yayo ethumela uJudi Dench kwi-hysterics engalawulekiyo. Ukungena kwigadi emanzi kwimo yesiqhelo yemvula yasemva kwemini yesiNgesi, bayaqhubeka ngaphakathi bejikeleze itafile yokutyela, behlawuliswe ngokupheleleyo kwaye belungele ibhere, iinkumbulo zabo ezingabhalwanga ziboniswe ziifoto zoovimba ezixabisekileyo kunye neefilimu ezibonisa italente yabo kunye nokwenza izinto ngendlela eyahlukileyo kwintyatyambo epheleleyo ukubonisa ubungqina bokuba kutheni Sidlale yonke indawo kwaye siphumelele amabhaso onke. UDame Judi waqala kunye noDame Peggy Ashcroft kunye noMhlekazi uJohn Gielgud Intsimi yeCherry, ikhokelwe ngusadist okhohlakeleyo owayemthuka ngobusuku ade amaqabane akhe amfundise isifundo esibalulekileyo ekuzikhuseleni: Ungaze uvumele bakubone ulila! Yinto encinci yobulumko ebedlulisela kubadlali abancinci ukusukela oko.
Ukuqhubela phambili kwiingxoxo zezopolitiko, ilifa labo (uMaggie Smith akabonisi mdla kuye uharry Potter Iimuvi kunye namabango akazange abone isiqendu esinye IDownton Abbey) abagxeki (abathi abakaze bafunde uphononongo, ibango ndiyaliphikisa kunye nokuthandabuza), kwaye ekugqibeleni bekuthini ukufumana uMyalelo oGqwesileyo woBukhosi base-Bhritane ukuba abe ngumphathi-okanye, ngokwemigaqo, uDame ekugqibeleni.
Ukungaphindi kufundiswe, okuzenzekelayo kunye nokushiya i-cuff, abayeki, umtsalane wabo ongoyikiyo ukhululekile kwaye awunangxaki, kwaye ukungathandabuzi okungapheliyo kuyonwabisa. Isiphumo yimizuzu engama-83 yolonwabo echithwe ngamaDama amane awaziyo umahluko phakathi kwenyani kunye nokukhohlisa, kwaye ngesisa unika uninzi olukhulu kuzo zombini. Kwi Iti enamaGama, isithukuthezi asinto inokukhetha.
