UWoody Harrelson ulahlekiswa nguRob Reiner's Disappointing 'LBJ'

URob Reiner wenza umbono ongapheliyo njengo-Archie Bunker's mkhwenyana kwindoda endala Konke kusapho manqaku athi abantu abaninzi basasilela ukumamkela ukuba abe ngumlawuli onesiphiwo. Umphathi ozinikeleyo weeflegi zezizathu zenkululeko kunye nomzabalazo wezopolitiko obeka ubuchopho bakhe kunye neenkolelo apho ikhoyo intliziyo yakhe, uye wavela iziqhulo kunye nemidlalo ye-bareknuckle ngokuchanekileyo ngokulinganayo. Akukho nanye kwezona zinto aziphumezileyo, I-LBJ, I-biopic yakhe malunga noLyndon B. Johnson, ayivezi kangako njengophando lomlinganiswa onoburhalarhume, onebhongo ngengozi kunakwisifundo sembali esingaphandiswanga. Sekunjalo, Woody Harrelson kwindima yesikhundla ineziqholo ezaneleyo zokugcina umbukeli ephaphile kwaye emamele. Oko kungaphezulu kokuba ndingatsho malunga neninzi ye-junk ebulisa unyaka wokuphela konyaka we-2017 weholide.

UJohnson wayengumntu ongenambala kumbala wezopolitiko owazuza isikhundla njengeyona ndoda inamandla emhlabeni ngexesha apho imbali yase-US yayikulungele ukungena. Emva kokuba ikhosi yembali yehlabathi yangena ebumnyameni ngokubulawa kukaJohn F. Kennedy ngoNovemba, 1963, yawela kwangoko ku-Sekela Mongameli uLyndon Baines Johnson ukuze abambe isambatho sika-Commander-in-Chief. Akakho omnye umongameli wenkulungwane ephelileyo owaqala ixesha lakhe e-ofisini phantsi kweemeko ezoyikisayo, kwaye isiphithiphithi awasizuza njengelifa sasidimaza. Akazange athathe kuphela ukunyakaza kwamalungelo oluntu, kodwa ukunyuka kwemfazwe eVietnam. Ukuvalwa kuxhomeke kwimali eseleyo, kunye nemiboniso bhanyabhanya malunga nobukhoboka kunye nemidlalo yeTV malunga ne-backstage ye-White House chicanery esalawula izikrini kunye ne-airwaves. I-LBJ iwela kwenye indawo phakathi Uselma kwaye Indlu yamakhadi .

Ukugxila kwindawo ethile kwiminyaka engaphambi kokubulawa kuka-JFK (edlalwa nguJeffrey Donovan), ifilimu ibonisa uJohnson njengoko egxadazela ukubaleka kwakhe eofisini ye-oval ngo-1960, ekugqibeleni wazinza okwesibini ngomyalelo. Esoyika iGqwetha Jikelele u-Bobby Kennedy, owayengalithandi ilizwi lakhe lase-Southern kunye neendlela zakhe, uJohnson wayesele efundile amaqhuqhuva kwindlela eya kwi-1600 Pennsylvania Avenue ngaphambi kwentlekele eDallas, kodwa ukuvela ngakumbi nokubonakala ngathi kwakunjani emva kweziganeko phakathi kokubulawa kukaKennedy kunye nokufunga okungathandabuzekiyo kuJohnson, ufumana umfanekiso ophakamileyo ifilimu UJackie . Ngaphandle kwe-melodrama, ukuhleba okanye ixabiso lothusayo (xa bobathathu bebenokwenza imovie enomdla ngakumbi), uReiner ukhetha indlela yokulandela amachaphaza, ebonisa umntu onoburharha, onoburharha onomtsalane omncinci kwaye engenabukhazikhazi uzama ukukhokela uhlanga lusentlungwini. ukulahleka kukaJack Kennedy othandekayo. Ujongene neminxeba engxamisekileyo yobulungisa bezentlalo obuvela kuMartin Luther King, Omnci. Ujongene nesoyikiso sokuzimela sobutshaba bukaBobby Kennedy. Uyamazi umfazi wakhe uLady Bird (ochithwe ngokupheleleyo nguJennifer Jason Leigh, obanjiwe ngasemva kwempumlo yokufakelwa), kunye neentombi zakhe uLucy Baines kunye noLynda Bird bonke abanako ukwamkelwa esidlangalaleni ngabantu abadumileyo bokuqala boSapho, kodwa uziphosa njengenkunzi yenkomo engaboniyo. Ukuqhubeka, ukulwa imfazwe nentlupheko ngaphandle koncedo lwangaphandle. Ngelishwa, uyenza yonke ngaphandle komtsalane omninzi.

Kulapho kungena uWoody Harrelson. Ukwenza kwakhe into engaphezulu kunye nokusetyenziswa ngokungalinganiyo kuyaphazamisa kwaye akhange abonakale njengoJohnson, kodwa uqhele ukusetyenziswa gwenxa. I-Harrelson inyathela indlela yakhe yokujongela phantsi komlingiswa kunye ne-nerves ene-vulgar, inyanzelisa eyakho! Umoya owawuphawuleka ngumongameli. Nangona uHarrelson ejonge kwaye enomdla, isimilo sakhe sikaJohnson njengomntu okruqulayo, otyhaphazayo kaTata akaphakamisi ncam okanye aphucule umdlalo oqhelekileyo wesikrini nguJoey Hartstone onokuthiwa kuphela ngumsebenzi. Ndingathanda kakhulu ukufumanisa ukuba kwakunjani ukuba lo mlimi waseTexas abe ngumongameli ngaphandle kwegunya, kwaye adlulise umthetho obalulekileyo ongenanto ingaphezulu kwesibindi. Ulale njani ebusuku esazi ukuba akazithembanga kwaye uthatha into yokuhlekisa? Zazinjani izihlandlo zosapho olusondeleyo? Akazange ayenze yedwa, kodwa iikhredithi (ezibonakala ngathi ziyaqhubeka kangangeentsuku) uluhlu lwabadlali abadlala ngokuhamba-phambili kubalinganiswa abanjengoHubert Humphrey, uMcGoerge Bundy, uRobert McNamara, uArthur Schlesinger, uPierre Salinger kunye ne-US ezininzi. Iisenethi, iiCongressmen kunye neearhente zenkonzo eyimfihlo Ndicinga ukuba uRob Reiner usibamba ngaphezulu, nangaphezulu.

I-LBJ Ukubamba, kodwa akonelanga ukuthimba abaphulaphuli esele belibele kakhulu le ndoda kunye nomongameli. Sidinga okungaphezulu kokuvuthulula nje uthuli kwifayile evaliweyo kwipolitiki eneempawu ezinyeliswa rhoqo eza kwindawo eguqukayo kwimbali yaseMelika. Njengendoda, imovie I-LBJ ikwakhona okutshintsha okukhulu — kwimbali yeemovie. Ndiyaxolisa ukuyibiza njengokudana okuhloniphekileyo, xa ibinokuba ngaphezulu kakhulu.
