Ndandingumlandeli omkhulu kaWilliam Golding YA classic Nkosi yeempukane xa ndandisengumntwana. Nangona kwakuthetha ngamakhwenkwe, ndandibona ngokulula indlela amantombazana angenakuphumelela ngayo kwimeko yesiqithi. Nangona kunjalo, kokubini ukwenziwa, kunye nokubuyela umva kulungelelwaniso oluzayo lwefilimu yenoveli yeklasikhi kuye kwandidida.
Okokuqala, masiqale ngokubulawa. Ngokomhla obekiweyo weHollywood , uhlengahlengiso olutsha lwe Nkosi yeempukane yingqondo yabalawuli-babalawuli uScott McGehee kunye noDavid Siegel, abangenele isivumelwano eWarner Bros. ukuqala umsebenzi kwiskripthi sabo. Baceba ukunyaniseka kwincwadi ngokujija nje: ibali langaphambili lendoda yonke ngoku liya kubhalelwa bonke ababhinqileyo.
USiegel, Sifuna ukwenza incwadi ethembekileyo kodwa ecamngca ngayo, kodwa umbono wethu yayikukwenza nawo onke amantombazana kunamakhwenkwe. Libali elingenasiphelo elisebenza ngokukodwa namhlanje, elinokungavisisani phakathi kwabantu kunye nokuxhatshazwa, kunye nombono wabantwana abenza uluntu kunye nokuphindaphinda indlela abaziphethe ngayo kubantu abadala ngaphambi kokuba badikwe.
UMcGehee ulibiza eli bali ngokungathandabuzekiyo, esithi bathatha ithuba lokulixela ngendlela engazange ixelelwe ngaphambili, kunye namantombazana kunamakhwenkwe, kukuba ishenxisa izinto ngendlela enokunceda abantu babone ibali. ngokutsha. Iyaphuma kwezinye zeendibano, iindlela esicinga ngazo ngamakhwenkwe kunye nobundlongondlongo. Abantu basathetha ngemovie kunye nencwadi ngokwembono yokubalisa amabali. Libali elikhulu le-adventure, ulonwabo lokwenyani, kodwa inentsingiselo eninzi efakwe kuyo. Simelwe kukucinga ngale nto okwexeshana njengoko amalungelo ayesenziwa, kwaye sinomdla omkhulu wokubhala iphepha.
Isimilo sam sokuqala yayikukuba ndonwabe ngokwenene malunga nokulungelelaniswa kwamantombazana onke. Njengoko benditshilo apha ngasentla, xa bendifunda lencwadi kwindawo ephezulu, bendinxulumene kakhulu nobukrakra baba bantu abatsha abajongana. Wakhe waba kwigumbi lokutshixa lamantombazana emva kweklasi yokuzivocavoca? Izinto zinokuba nobundlongondlongo apho, kwaye ukuba uthatha loo mandla uyibeka kwisiqithi apho la mantombazana kufuneka aqale khona impucuko? Uwhoo boy.
Ingxaki enye endinayo ngolu tshintsho kukuba ayibhalwanga kuphela, kodwa ilawulwa ngamadoda amabini.
Ndiyifumene, bazisa oku kuthabatha uhlengahlengiso kwiWarner Bros, kunye neWarner Bros (ngobulumko, ngokoluvo lwam) baqonda ukuba iifilimu ezinabantu ababhinqileyo zinokwenza kakuhle. Ayisiyo kuphela into ethatha ibali enomdla, kodwa ngokwembono yeshishini, iifilimu ezikhokelwa ngabasetyhini zenza ishishini. Konke oko kuhle.
Nangona kunjalo, ukubalisa eli bali ngokupheleleyo ngaphandle kokubandakanyeka kwabasetyhini okanye ukufaka igalelo kwinqanaba lophuhliso yimpazamo enkulu. Ngelixa ibali linokwenzeka ngokuqinisekileyo kuyo yonke intombazana enabalinganiswa, iya kwenzeka ngokwahlukileyo kakhulu, kuba amantombazana abekwe ngoluntu ngokwahlukileyo. Kutheni le nto uMcGehee noSiegel bengakwazanga ukubhala iscript, kodwa basebenze nomphathi wabasetyhini, okanye ngenye indlela baqeshe ababhali ababhinqileyo okanye ababini ukuba babhale iskripthi abaza kuthi emva koko basikhokele?
Kutheni kufuneka benze yonke imisebenzi ? Ngokukodwa kuba ngokucacileyo bafakiwe ngokwaneleyo kwinqanaba lebali ukuze bafune ukwenza le bhanyabhanya iyintombazana yonke… kodwa ndicinga ukuba ayiguquleli ekufumaneni abafazi abaninzi babandakanyeke kwinto bona yenza?
Ukuphindwaphindwa kwawo onke amabhinqa yiNkosi yeempukane akukho ngqiqweni kuba… iyelenqe lale ncwadi belingenokwenzeka ngabo bonke abantu basetyhini.

Yintoni enomdla kum, nangona kunjalo, kukuba ukubuyela umva kolu hlengahlengiso lucetywayo lokufumana akunanto yakwenza nento yokuba amadoda ayabhala kwaye ayalathisa, kwaye inento yokwenza nento yokuba amadoda nabafazi bacinga ukuba inguqulelo yamantombazana onke luluvo olubi, nangona kunjalo ngenxa yezizathu ezahlukeneyo.
Umgcini ujikeleze zeempendulo kulungelelwaniso, kubandakanya i-tweet engentla evela kumfazi ozibhengezileyo, uRoxane Gay. Ngoku, ndiyamthanda u-Gay, kodwa andiqondi ukuba uthetha ukuthini apha. Ngaba ngekhe kwenzeke nabo bonke abafazi? Okokuqala, asithethi ngabafazi, sithetha amantombazana . Abantwana abangafezekanga abalinganisa oko bakwaziyo kwaye bafundiswe ngokuba ngabantu abadala. Kwaye oku kunokwenzeka ngokupheleleyo yenzeka ngawo onke amantombazana. Ngendlela eyahlukileyo, qiniseka. Kodwa inokwenzeka.
Umntu othile kuloo msonto wazisa uDiana kunye noAmazon weThemescyra njengomzekelo wendlela abasetyhini abaya kuqhuba ngayo isiqithi, kwaye kum oko kuyaphoswa ngongoma. Ungayichazanga eyokuba abantu babonakala ngathi banengcinga ephosakeleyo yokuba ukuba abafazi baqhuba yonke into ibiya kuba njalo ngokuzenzekelayo , ngokulunga okupheleleyo kwe Intyatyambo (ngokuchasene nokuba nesini- elungeleleneyo uluntu oluya komelela ngenxa yolo bhalansi) luqhutywa ngcono kwaye lube noxolo ngakumbi.
Wonke umntu ubonakala ngathi ufuna ukubiyela Nkosi yeempukane njengokumalunga nobudoda obunetyhefu, xa ingekhoyo kwaphela. Yile ndlela siyitolika ngayo ngeelensi zale mihla.
Inyaniso yile, Nkosi yeempukane Imalunga nengxabano yendalo iphela phakathi kokulunga kweqela kunye nomnqweno wabantu ngabanye wegunya. Iphonononga indlela abantu abadinga ngayo izinto ezinje ngemithetho kunye nolwakhiwo ukuze bakwazi ukusebenza, kodwa ukuba ihlala kanjani ingqubana nomnqweno wenkululeko yobuqu. Le noveli ibhaliwe kwi-1954, e-UK, kwaye isetwa ngexesha lokufuduswa kwe-WWII, ichukunyiswe kakhulu kukulwa nolawulo olungqongqo lukaHitler.
Ngokuqinisekileyo kukho isini esisekela koku, njengoko kungenzeka ukuba khange kwenzeke eGolding ukuphonononga le mixholo kunye namantombazana esiqithini. Okanye, mhlawumbi wayengafuni ukuya apho. Le yayiyinoveli yokuqala yeGolding. Mhlawumbi wenza bonke abasindayo kwingozi yenqwelomoya yendoda ukuze angabinakho ukungena kwinto eza kwenzeka kumantombazana kwimeko enjalo, ngakumbi kwiqela elixutywe ngokwesini. Mhlawumbi wayengenakucinga ukubalisa ibali nawo onke amantombazana, kodwa emva koko engenako ukuzizisa ukuze ajongane nefuthe lenyaniso engqwabalala malunga nokuba zinzima kangakanani izinto zihlala zibakhona kubafazi ngamaxesha oxinzelelo kunye nemfazwe, ke yena khange ndiyichukumise.
Ke, incwadi ibonakalisa onke amakhwenkwe, kodwa ayenzi njalo malunga ubudoda obunetyhefu. Iimvakalelo, iimpembelelo, kunye nemixholo efundwe kule ncwadi ayikhawulelwanga kumadoda namakhwenkwe. Kungenxa yokuba amantombazana aye acinywa kweli bali. Eyona nto ingcono, khumbula, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba inqaku elikhethekileyo lalisenziwa malunga nobudoda. Kuphela nje ukuba ubudoda ngokwembali bekusilele nokuba ubalisa liphi ibali. Ngaphandle kokuba ubhala incwadi yamantombazana, ngokucacileyo.
Njengomnye umntu othunyelwe kwi-Twitter:
Ngaba yonke iNkosi yabasetyhini beempukane iyasebenza? I-Soooo… baphinde benza iiHeathers? pic.twitter.com/BdmIoLN0nB

Kanjalo. Abantu abayidingi ukuba babekwisiqithi ukubonisa ezi zinto zidlalayo. Iingqungquthela ngumzekelo omhle malunga nokuhambelana nokuzimeleyo, kunye nokubonisa ukuba amantombazana angqwabalala kwaye abe ndlongondlongo njani omnye komnye. Iintombi ezikhohlakele ngomnye umzekelo. Kwimizekelo yesini exubeneyo, enye ayifuni ukujonga ngaphezulu Imidlalo yokulamba okanye Idabi Royale ukubona ukuba kwenzeka ntoni xa abantu abatsha bekhutshwa kwimpucuko kwaye kufuneka benze izinto ezingathethekiyo ukuze baphile.
Nkosi yeempukane kunye namantombazana sisiseko esinomdla kakhulu. Ndinqwenela ukuba uSiegel kunye noMcGehee babenomdla wokusebenzela ibali kunokuba basebenzele amabhongo abo. Kwaye eli bali linokuphoswa njani yintombazana yonke hayi ukukhonzwa ngcono ngaphandle kombhali okanye umlawuli obhinqileyo?
