Ukuba kukho nabani na ofanelekileyo ukuba abe yinkwenkwezi ye-movie, nguBilly Eichner. Ukusuka kwihlaya lakhe lewebhu elihlekisayo Billy kwisitalato kuthotho lweqela lakhe alithandayo Abantu abanzima , U-Eichner ngumbono wobusela rhoqo xa ebonisa isikrini. Kwaye iHollywood ekugqibeleni iyaqaphela. Emva kokufumana ama-rave ngokusebenza kwakhe njengoTimon INgonyama yeNgonyama , U-Eichner ucwangciselwe ukuba abhale kunye neenkwenkwezi kumdlalo weqonga othandana nesini oveliswe nguJudd Apatow kwaye wayalelwa / wabhalwa ngu-Nick Stoller ( Abamelwane ).
Ifilimu engenasihloko iya kuba yinto yokuqala ye-studio ene-gay protagonist ukusukela nge-2018 Uthando, Simon , kunye ne-studio yokuqala yokuhlekisa yothando. U-Eichner ukwabhengeze ukuba uza kuba neenkwenkwezi njenge Izikwere zeHollywood ilivo kunye ne-gay icon uPaul Lynde kwi-biopic Indoda kwiBhokisi .
Iya kuba lelinye lamaxesha okuqala umdlali we-gay othatha inxaxheba kwindima ephezulu yesitabane, into eyothusayo inqabileyo eHollywood. Njengokumelwa komntu osasazwayo kwimithombo yeendaba isanda (i-GLAAD irekhode eyona pesenti yayo iphambili yeefilimu kunye nokumelwa kwe-LGBTQ-okubandakanya wonke umntu kwi-2019 kwi-18.6%), abadlali beqweqwe elityala elityala bayaqhubeka nokuphulukana nendima yomlingane kubalingane babo abathe tye.
Aba badlali bathe tye bayaqhubeka nokuphumelela amabhaso okubonisa abalinganiswa be-LGBTQ (uSean Penn, uTom Hanks, uCharlize Theron, uHilary Swank, uJared Leto, ukubala nje abambalwa), ngelixa abadlali abaphambili bevalelwe ngaphandle kwendima ethe tye. Kwaye ngelixa ishishini libhiyozela esidlangalaleni umdlali weqonga okanye ubuntu bokuvela, loo mntu emva koko uzifumana enebala phakathi kwishishini.
Kwi udliwanondlebe noMhla obekiweyo , UEichner uchaze imeko. Into eyenzekileyo yeyokuba, xa umntu ephuma egumbini, siyabhiyoza. Sibaqhwabela izandla. Sazibeka kwiphepha elingaphandle lamaphephancwadi. Sithi, enkosi ngokuphila ngenyaniso yakho, kwaye siyabulela ngokuba nesibindi, kwaye ungumzekelo omhle kubantwana bethu abayizitabane. Kwaye kwangoko, loo mdlali weqonga ususa uluhlu oluninzi lokuphosa kwishishini.
Abadlali abaphambili abasabhekane nothotho lokuvala iingcango xa kufikwa ekubunjweni. Azisekholeleka njengomlingiswa ochanekileyo, kwaye kunqabile ukuba bamenywe ukuba bafundele iindima zesini. Kwaye ngelixa ishishini licotha kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo liphakamisa amabali e-queer, abadlali abaphambili bayashiywa ngasemva. Kwiiveki nje ezimbini ezidlulileyo, u-Halle Berry ubhengeze ukuba uzakudlala indoda ehambayo, ngaphambi kokuba uhlaselo lukawonke-wonke lumtyhale ukuba ashiye isikhundla sakhe.
Kodwa izinto ziyatshintsha. UScarlett Johansson wayezimisele ukudlala indoda ehambayo Hlikihla kunye noTug , kodwa ekugqibeleni wehla esihlalweni. Iprojekthi ngoku ziphinde zenziwe kwakhona njengoluhlu , Ngaphandle kombhali we-trans Lady wethu u-J ubhala umqhubi wenqwelomoya kunye nendoda ehambayo edlala indima ekhokelayo.
U-Eichner wongeze, Akukho gay Tom Hanks, kweli lizwe. Akukho gay uza kuba nguFrerell. Akukho sitabane Steve Carell. Akukho gay Paul Rudd. Akukho gay Kevin Hart. Akukho sitabane uWill Smith. Uluhlu luqhubeka kwaye luqhubeke, kwaye ayisiyongxaki leyo. Emva kweminyaka elikhulu yokwenza iifilimu, ayisiyongozi. Ayikuko ukuba abanako nje ukufumana indoda elungileyo yesitabane, onesiphiwo esaneleyo sokuba nomsebenzi onje.
Ukuthintela okuqhelekileyo okuviweyo kwii-studio execs kukuba ifilimu ifuna uluhlu lwe-A ukuze yenze imali. Kodwa ukuba abadlali abaphambili abaze banikwe ifoto, ngekhe bafumane ithuba lokuba ziinkwenkwezi ezinkulu kunye nebhokisi yeofisi.
Ndicinga ukuba kufuneka siyeke ukuxabisa loo nto, imvakalelo yokuba umntu athandana naye edlala umntu ongathandani naye, ayisebenzi, kodwa ukuba umntu othe tye udlala umntu ongathandani naye, simnika u-Oscar, utshilo u-Eichner.
