Owu, nkwenkwe! Xa izinto zihamba kakuhle! IMel Brooks 'Abavelisi eSt. James Theatre kwiBroadway, lelona xesha lilungileyo onokuthi ulinqwenele kwithiyetha. Ukuhleka, ngenxa yesifo esinye esosulelayo, nesinobuqaqawuli, kunokushiya ujikeleza ngokoqobo kwiipaseji. Umboniso uyasikhulula kwimpazamo yokuchaneka kwezopolitiko. Yimangalisa into yokuba bonke abadlali bebhola bajongeka ngathi banebhola. Sonke. Ukusuka ekuqaleni komntu ukuya esiphelweni se-blitzkrieg, imveliso ephefumlelweyo kaSusan Stroman iphumelela ngovuyo kuwo onke amanqanaba anokucinga, ikhuthaza umdlalo oqhelekileyo womculo kwiindawo eziphakamileyo ezintsha.
Kodwa ndijongele phantsi. Kwabo bethu abakhe babona ifilimu yokuqala kaMnu Brooks yowe-1968 Abavelisi izihlandlo ezisisigidi kwaye banokucengceleza ngaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi yonke imigca engcwele njengombongo omsulwa, uhlobo lomculo luyimpumelelo enkulu. Itotshi idlulisiwe ukusuka kwi-Bialystock kunye neBloom yeZero Mostel kunye ne-Gene Wilder ebambisene nobambiswano olugqibeleleyo lukaNathan Lane kunye noMatthew Broderick. Indima ye-shyster edidekileyo uMax Bialystock, umvelisi wokuqala owake wenza isitokhwe sasehlotyeni ebusika, ngewenzelwe ubuhlakani obuhlekisayo bukaNathan Lane, kwaye uMnu Lane akazange abengcono. U-Leopold Bloom, i-nebbishy, i-accountant ye-neurotic accountant kunye ne-blankie ye-blanket elele phantsi kwesilevu, idlalwe ngokuthandekayo kwaye icinezelwe ngu-Matthew Broderick, kwaye u-Mr.
Abaphengululi ebaleni baya kuvuyela ukuqaphela ukuba eyona migca yentsusa evela kumdlalo bhanyabhanya yindawo entle. Sifumana ummangalelwa enetyala ngokungaqhelekanga! Yiyo ke leyo, sana, xa uyifumene, bonisa! Ziqhenye !! Ndifuna… Ndifuna… Ndifuna… Ndifuna yonke into endakha ndayibona kwiimovie! Okanye i-lyric bouncy ye-bricy lyric evela kwiNtwasahlobo kaHitler ibonisa ukumisa, Musa ukuba sisidenge / Yiba sisilumko / Yiza ujoyine iqela lamaNazi! Loo mgca, ngokuqinisekileyo, uhambelana nomlomo kwimiboniso kwizwi elingenakuphikiswa likaMel Brooks, akukho ngaphantsi. Yimbeko ecocekileyo kuye, elungileyo kuphela.
Iminwe yakhe igcwele yonke indawo – kuthando lwakhe lwe-showbiz kunye no-Busby Berkeley kunye nomculo obanzi we-Broadway, kumandla akhe angapheliyo kunye nokuhlekisa kakubi nge-vaudevillian jokes. (Ihlaya lokuqala langokuhlwa libandakanya i-violinist engaboniyo.) UMr Brooks ukholelwa ukuba uneminyaka engama-75 ubudala ehamba nge-15.
Kuyinyani, ubuqili ayisiyo inqaba yakhe.
Ndandihlala ndibetha kakhulu,
Iindawo zokuhlambela ezinkulu eRitz,
Amantombazana am omboniso ayeneyona tits inkulu!
Andizange ndibe yimingxunya nangayiphi na indlela!
Ngu Mel wethu lowo! Kodwa inqaku lakhe lomboniso lilungile kwaye liyabambeka kwaye, ngaphezulu kwako konke, kumnandi ngoluhlobo, sonwabile sikhukulisiwe. Kukho iindumiso zomculo kwiGypsy, Oliver, Florenz Ziegfeld, Cole Porter, Jule Styne, Richard Rodgers noGershwin. (Ngubani na othe uMnu Brooks akanancasa intle?) Ayisiyongxaki yokuba abavelisi babekwe ngo-1959- ukuphela kwexesha legolide lomculo ohlekisayo, ukusuka kwii-Guys neeDoll eziphezulu ngo-1950, ukuya kumdlalo wePajama ngo-1954 , ukuya kwi-1956 Iintsimbi Ziyakhala ezivuselelweyo ngoku kwi-Broadway.
Ukonwaba kwethu kulo mboniso kuyonyuswa ngakumbi ngakumbi ngokubhekiswa kwezinye izinto ezibalaseleyo kwenye imiboniso. Kukho enye, umzekelo, kwisitrato sama-42, xa inkampu uRoger DeBris ethatha indawo kaHitler ngomzuzu wokugqibela kunye nomncedisi wakhe wezomthetho, uCarmen Ghia, emkhuthaza ngamazwi angafiyo: Uya apho usisiyatha ukumkanikazi oshushu kwaye ubuya nembali enkulu yokudlula ngqo ye-Broadway! URoger Bart nguHarmes uCarmen kwaye uGary Beach ngowona mlawuli unxibe kakhulu emhlabeni, uRoger DeBris, kwaye bobabini boyike.
Kwindawo yokuphelisa yonke imiboniso, Ixesha leNtwasahlobo likaHitler, uMnu. Beach ungena phezulu kwizitepsi ezikhanyisiweyo edlala uFührer, oza kucula uHeil ngokwam. Kodwa uqala ngokuthatha into emangazayo ekhangeleka njenge candelabra engatshixwanga. Kungenxa yokuba uMnu.Lwandle wayedlala ikhandlela ebuhleni nakwisilwanyana. Kodwa awunyanzelekanga ukuba uyazi ukuba uyayixabisa le mizuzu iphambeneyo naphezu kokuba kubalulekile ukufumana isalathiso esihle sikaMnumzana u-Beach kuJudy Garland xa uHitler egobele phezulu emaphethelweni esiteji ethetha nathi la magama: wena.
Emva koko, umsebenzi weqela lokuqala loyilo lukaRobin Wagner, uWilliam Ivey Long noPeter Kaczorowski alunakulunga (okanye lube bubukrelekrele). Ilanga eliphefumlelweyo loMhlaba oMncinci oMdala waseValentine liyi-valentine yokulandelelana okulandelelweyo kweLoveland kwiiFollies. Kodwa ukubona kwabatyali mali abazinikeleyo bakaMax Bialystock, amanenekazi amancinci amancinci e-nymphomaniac athabatha-ukudanisa kwii-walkers zabo, yinto ekufuneka eyijongile-eyimbali yokuqala kwindlela yayo, ephela ngokuwa kwabo okungqameneyo njengamajoni eRokethi kaTyhokoledi. Ukunqumama kulandelelwano lwesipili esidumileyo kwi-Chorus Line ngexesha leNtwasahlobo ngokulandelelana kukaHitler yeyona nto imnandi kuMnu Wagner oyilele iChorus Line kwasekuqaleni. Kodwa umdlalo omangalisayo kunye nokubaleka komdyarho kaNkskz Stroman's-Yiza, amaJamani-yiya kumdaniso wakho! -Zisa abaphulaphuli kwindawo yokudubula nokuba kunjalo.
Njengoko umoya opholileyo weMel Brooks uhamba, Into omele uyazi yona / yi-Evryry yi-showbiz. Abavelisi yileta yothando kaMnu Brooks eya kwi-Broadway yakudala (kunye neleta ebhalwe ngobunono eyayibhalelwa indoda ayibiza ngokuba nguAdolf Elizabeth Hitler). Kwisiqwenga somboniso, ewe, yenye yezinto ezintle zokuhlekisa. U-Leo umgcini zincwadi we-nerdy uphawula ngokungathandabuzekiyo njengoko esiya kwiincwadi zikaMax, Unokonyusa isigidi seedola, ubeke ikhulu lamawaka eedola, kwaye ezinye uzigcinele wena. Ngamanye amagama amnandi, unokwenza imali ngakumbi ngeflop kunokuba ubethe.
Kwaye ke kwenzekile ukuba ubambiswano olusandula ukwenziwa lweBialystock kunye neBloom luvelise intlekele yomlilo eqinisekileyo enesihloko esithi Ixesha leNtwasahlobo likaHitler, iGay Romp kunye noAdolf noEva eBerchtesgade, ebhalwe ngumnumzana weNazi, umbhali wemidlalo yeqonga kunye nomdlali wehobe kwi Isigcina-ntloko somkhosi waseJamani ogama linguFranz Liebkind. Ngumama ohleliyo. Baya kuba zizityebi! Ngaphandle kokuba ibhombu elindelweyo ijike ibe sisigebenga esikhulu. Yiyo ke le nto isihloko sengoma kaMax, Saya phi ngokuLungileyo?
Inqanaba-elibethe uFranz, odlalwa nguBrad Oscar (i-albardus engavumelekanga ebanzi) unokuhambisa ibhendi ye-Broadway ngezona zilungileyo kubo, njenge-Al Jolson ewele kunye noJimmy (Schnozzola) Durante. Nditsho nokuxoka kwakhe, amahobe amaNazi amaNazi eluphahleni lwendlu yakhe yaseJane Street, edanisa kunye nokuya kwindawo yakhe yaseBavaria, iDer Guten Tag Hop-Clop.
Ukuzola lolunye uhlobo olukhethekileyo lweMel Brooks, kwaye sonwabile. Qaphela iipowusta kwiofisi kaMax zibhiyozela izihloko zemiboniso yakhe ye-Broadway: Umoya Owaphulayo, Xa Abazala Betshata kunye neLitye Lezintso. I-fiasco yakhe yokugqibela yayiyingoma yomculo kaHamlet enesihloko esithi Umfana Ohlekisayo.
Imfihlelo yokuyivelisa, ukungakhathali ngokupheleleyo kwimveliso yabalinganiswa aboyikekayo- kubandakanya, hleze silibale, intsebenzo entle evela kuCady Huffman njenge-hotsy-totsy yaseSweden, unobhala-slash-receptionist u-Ulla Inga Hansen Bensen Yonsen Tallen-Hallen Svaden -Sanson. Izinto zakho ezimnandi kufuneka uzityhale, ucule u-Ulla othandekayo. Ncamathisa isifuba sakho / Shukumisa itephu yakho….
Kodwa i-masterstroke lulungelelwaniso oluqaqambileyo lwemovie yoqobo nguMnu Brooks noThomas Meehan. UMnu Meehan (owabhala incwadi ka-Annie kwaye wabambisana kwizikrini zeMel Brooks 'Spaceballs kunye ne-To Be or Not To Be) uye wanceda ukuphakamisa into endiyicinga ukuba ibhalwe ngamatye. Iskripthi ngoku sisidubedube esipheleleyo. Ukuvulwa komboniso kukuseta nje okuhlekisayo ngelixa sihlala phantsi. (Ngubani ovelise le schlock? / Le slimy, sleazy Max Bialystock!) Kodwa inani lesibini, uKumkani we-Broadway, uphonsa isimanga kwaye konke kodwa uyeka umboniso ngomculo wawo onxilisayo we-klezmer kunye ne-hora eSchubert Alley eyenziwa zii-Broadway bums kunye noonongesi abadanisayo abaphethe iPlaybill s kwiNgoma yoMculo. Ulandelelwano olumnandi luka-Leo lwe-burlesque, Ndifuna ukuba nguMvelisi, yenye into eyomileyo, yingoma yomgcini zincwadi yakhe yangaphakathi kwingoma edinisayo ejika ibe sisililo se-Old Man River. (Oo, ndinetyala lonke duh mornin ’….) Indawo yovavanyo yophicotho-zincwadi isoloko yahlula-hlula. (Ndingathanda ukucula 'A Umhambi ojikelezayo, mna.' Ukuba kunyanzelekile….) Ingoma yomboniso kwiholo yemidlalo yeqonga ye-Broadway, Gcina i-Gay, inathi sonke kwakhona singenakuzinceda.
Gcina kukhanya, kugcine kukhanya / Kugcine kuyisini! Sonke sinokuvumelana naloo nto, ngakumbi xa iMel Brooks ilawula – okanye ingalawuleki. Ndiphelelwe yindawo kwaye ndisebenza ngokubalaseleyo. Abavelisi basenza sibe yi-kvell kuba izisa kolo lonwabo lukhulu kangaka, isithethe esilahlekileyo, umboniso waseMelika wonke. Umdlalo wokuhlekisa ngokuhlwanje! Umdlalo womculo ngonaphakade! Mhlawumbi ngaphandle kokwazi, okanye ukuzimisele, Mnu. Brooks et al. basibuyisele ngomlingo kwikamva.
