'Umfazi we-Zookeeper' yiNdaba evuselelayo yeFascism kunye ne-Fur

Izilwanyana ezithandekayo ezisemngciphekweni, amaNazi kunye noJessica Chastain ngaphandle koloyiko ukujongana nesimbo sasePoland esisindayo kunye nepaprika zizithako zomdlalo weHolocaust Umfazi kaZookeeper. Abasoloko behleli kamnandi bebalisa egudileyo ngokwaneleyo ukuze uhlale uvukile ngaphezulu kweeyure ezimbini, kodwa bafanele i-A yomzamo wokuzisa ebomini omnye umbhalo osemazantsi oovimba beMfazwe yesibini yeHlabathi malunga nabachasi abanesibindi sobuzwilakhe ababeka emngciphekweni yonke into. ukunceda ngaphezulu kwama-300 amaJuda amsulwa eWarsaw Ghetto abaleke iingozi zenkohlakalo zaseJamani. Ayitshisi isazela kwaye ikukhathaze ngonaphakade Uluhlu lukaSchindler, kodwa nangona ikubekile umva ukungafuni ukothuka nokoyikisa, ayikhe ibe yinto engenamsebenzi okanye ekruqulayo. Emva kokuphela kwemfazwe ngo-1945, baphinda bayakha iZoo yaseWarsaw, esele iyingumtsalane kubakhenkethi unanamhla. Indima eyayidlala ekoyiseni amaNazi inomdla. Masijongane nayo-iinkcukacha zawo onke amabali okusinda okwenyani kwisahluko esibi kwimbali ye-20th century kufanelekile ukuxelwa, nokuba ungayixela kangaphi.

Umfazi kaZookeeper ithatha iminyaka esixhenxe kubomi bobugorha buka-Antonina Zabinski (edlalwa ngokungabikho kobuhle baseMelika nguNks. Chastain, owayekwangumbhali) kunye nomyeni wakhe uJan (umlingisi waseBelgium uJohan Heldenbergh), abanini beWarsaw Zoo. Ngo-1939, xa amaNazi ahlasela iPoland, bazinikela ekukhuseleni izilwanyana zabo abazithandayo kunye nabahlobo babo abangamaJuda nabamelwane. I-screenplay sika-Angela Workman, esekwe kwincwadi ethengwa kakhulu ngo-2007 ngu-Diane Ackerman, ichaza iziphumo zemfazwe kubemi bezilwanyana, izilwanyana kunye nabantu ngokufanayo. Abathandi bezilwanyana baqinisekisiwe ukuba baphendule kwizigcawu ezinje ngamantshontsho eengonyama athembekileyo kunye neenkawu ezikhuzayo, zididekile kwaye zoyikiswa ziibhombu zikaHitler, kunye nenkamela yosana elahlekileyo ibaleka ingenanjongo kumyezo wezilwanyana ngaphandle konina. Ngelixa izikhwenene ezimibalabala kunye nezingwe ezivutha ngumsindo zibaleka iikheyiji zazo ngengxolo kunye nokudideka kweetanki ezihambela phambili, oonogada abathembekileyo abebeqeshwe ngabakwaZabinski iminyaka bazama ukungcwaba imvubu enomsindo. Emva koko, ngo-1940, ngabantu ababomi babo busengozini. Ngaphandle kwengcinga enye yobuqhawe okanye inkalipho, iZabinskis ziguqula indawo yazo yezilwanyana ibe yindawo yokugcina abantu, ziguqula indawo yazo yangasese ibe yindawo yokufihla u-Anne Frank yamabanjwa abahlangula ngasemva kweendonga zeghetto, bezama ngaxeshanye ukugcina ukuzama imfihlo kuLutz Heck (uDaniel Brühl osoyikisayo), ugqirha wezilwanyana ophambili kaHitler, ocebisa ukunika izilwanyana indawo yokuhlala kunye nokukhuseleka kumyezo wezilwanyana waseJamani de kube kuphele imfazwe. Ngokwenyani, kukubandezeleka kukaZabinskis, uLutz ufuna nje ukuba izilwanyana ezisele zibulawe kwaye zigxunyekwe ngumrhafi, nge-odolo yomfundisi we-Nazi propaganda uJosef Goebbels.

Ukusuka kwinkxwaleko yezilwanyana kunye nokusondela kufutshane kufowunela iindwendwe kwigumbi elingaphantsi komhlaba, ekubanjweni komgcini wezilwanyana kunye nokukhutshwa kweWarsaw Ghetto, umlawuli uNiki Caro ubuyisa iminyaka yokugqibela yemfazwe ngaphambili yaseYurophu ngokuchaneka okuqinisekileyo iyothusa kwaye ichukumisa ngokunzulu. Ngelishwa, ngendima etyebileyo enokubakho kwimisebenzi yomlilo yeemvakalelo, UNks Chastain akananto ingako ayenzayo ngaphandle kwepine yezilwanyana azibiza ngokuba yiSweetheart kwaye amthambise uLutz okhohlakeleyo. Umnumzana Bruhl wenza okuninzi ukwenza ukuba uLutz abe lixhoba lemfazwe kunye nenkohliso yamaNazi, kodwa iarc yakhe yomlinganiso kathathu ayikhange ihlolwe ngokupheleleyo. Kwangolo hlobo lunye, imeko ka-Ms Chastain eveza kakhulu iimvakalelo ayinanto yakwenza nemfazwe konke konke kodwa ibandakanya, endaweni yoko, ukusindisa ubomi bendlovu yosana. Ungumdlali weqonga onamandla kwaye ozinikeleyo kodwa ekugqibeleni, zizilwanyana ezoyisa iimvakalelo kwaye zibonelela ngokungabaza Umfazi kaZookeeper.
