Clive Owen iinkwenkwezi kwi Umdanisi weShadow . Ayizizo zonke izinto ezivela eIreland ezihamba kunye neWhisky. Njengesidudu esityebileyo sodaka, Umdanisi weShadow, enye into eyoyikisayo, edidayo yelenqe malunga neengxaki zaseIreland, yenye yazo.
Ngeminyaka yoo-1970, xa wayekhula eBelfast edlakazwe yimfazwe, intombazana egama linguCollette McVeigh yathumela umntakwabo omncinci ukuba ayokuthengela utata wabo imidiza. Wabulawa kwidabi phakathi kwemikhosi yaseBritane kunye nabavukeli baseIreland. Ityala elibuhlungu lajika uCollette waba yiRiphabliki eyiRepublican-bent ukuziphindezela. Sika ku-1993. Ngoku ngumfazi okhulileyo nomama ongatshatanga odlalwa nguAndrea Riseborough, owayedlala iDuchess yaseWindsor eMadonna W.E. , UCollette ubanjwe ebeka ibhombu kwisikhululo sikaloliwe esingaphantsi komhlaba eLondon, wabanjwa, kwaye emva kovavanyo oluninzi, waqeshwa njengemolesi ligosa lezobuntlola laseBritane eligama linguMac (Clive Owen) ukuya kuhlola usapho lwakhe. Ekuqaleni wayenobutshaba kwaye enesidima, ekugqibeleni uyavuma kulo msebenzi njengendlela yokwenza imali, ukunqanda ukuvalelwa entolongweni kunye nokubambelela kunyana wakhe kude kuphele ungquzulwano kwaye ubomi babuyele esiqhelweni. Kanye ngeveki, yena noMac badibana kufutshane nonxweme lwaseBelfast, apho athembisa ukubonelela ngolwazi malunga nabantakwabo bobabini, uGerry (Aiden Gillen) noConnor (uDominhnall Gleeson), bobabini bezixhobo ezithembakeleyo kwi-arry ye-IRA. Xa uConnor emnyanzela ukuba adlale indima ekubulaweni komcuphi wamapolisa waseMntla Ireland, uColleen uzibhaqa sele ebambekile phakathi kokunyaniseka okubini, ubomi bakhe busemngciphekweni kubantakwabo, abaza kumbulala ukuba bayazi ukuba wayeyimpimpi yase-Bhritane, kwaye ukuthembela kwakhe kutshaba kuphelile xa isithembiso sikaMac sokukhusela sisengozini yomphathi wakhe (uGillian Anderson) ngenxa yezizathu ezingacacanga. Ukusuka kule ndawo ukuya phambili, Umdanisi weShadow iyawa kwaye ayiphinde ibuyele ezinyaweni zayo.
Umkhombandlela nguJames Marsh ujolise ngqo kwaye ngqo, kodwa ukubhideka kombukeli ngelixa uhluza abalinganiswa abaninzi kakhulu kunye nemiyalelo yolwazi oluyimfihlo kwifayile enegama lekhowudi uShadow Dancer kukhokelela kuphela kwilahleko eqondakalayo yomdla. EMidway, xa izicwangciso zabantakwabo bakaCollette zonakalisiwe kwaye kurhaneleka malunga nokuvuza okunokwenzeka kuhola wendlela we-IRA wolwazi oluyimfihlo, icala lijika lihle, libonisa ukuvulwa kwayo yonke iminyango, ukupakwa kwemoto nganye. Ekugqibeleni, ayingoCollette ongcatsha usapho lwakhe, kodwa ngumntu ongamlindelanga. Xa kufika iyelenqe, zenziwe ngendlela yokuba ungazi nokuba uzamla okanye ukhuphe i-Huh exineneyo?
Umdanisi weShadow kukudana okufipheleyo, nokukhohlisayo okusebenzayo kakhulu xa kukutsala ekusebenzeni imihla ngemihla kwindlu yakwaMcVeigh. Ukuhlala kule meko yokungakhathali kunye nabantakwabo kunye nabantakwabo ababonakala bengenamdla, bezopolitiko, uCollette ujongene nengxaki engapheliyo evela kumacala onke, kunye nokukhula okuthandekayo kwi-Mac, unxibelelwano lwaseBritane (inkunkuma epheleleyo yexesha lika-Owen kunye netalente) . Umboniso bhanya-bhanya kaTom Bradby (osekwe kwinoveli yakhe) uxhalabile ngakumbi ngobomi kwikhaya losapho lwabanqolobi kunakwisenzo se-clichéd kwizitrato zaseMantla eIreland, esikubonileyo ngokwaneleyo kwiifilimu ezingcono kunale. Umboniso bhanyabhanya ekugqibeleni ungene kwibali lomcuphi, elinokuthi lisebenze ngokukuko ukuba besinokuqhekeza indlela yethu kwi-brogues ejiyileyo yaseIreland enika uninzi lwencoko engenakuqondakala. Iindawo ezixineneyo zaseDublin, ezinesigqeba esimdaka ngesitena esiflethi ngombala wamabala enicotine, zongeza ukubamba okumdaka kwisethingi yaseBelfast kwiminyaka engama-20 eyadlulayo, kwaye uNks. . Okwangoku, imivuzo incinci kwifilimu encinci ekunokwenzeka ukuba ingavuseleli uchulumanco kwimarike yasemelika. Umbala uhambile.
