Ngazo zonke iiakhawunti, INcwadi yoBomi izakuba yinto ekhethekileyo. Nokuba ingqina ukuba ngumdlalo bhanyabhanya omnandi okanye ophakathi (imali yam yeyangaphambili), sele ibonakalisile ukumelwa kwayo kwenkcubeko yaseMexico, ulwalathiso lobugcisa olwahlukileyo, kunye nokumisa oopopayi be-CGI abashukumisayo. Mhlawumbi eyona nto ibetha kakhulu INcwadi yoBomi , nangona kunjalo, kukusondela ngqo ekufeni. Umntu ophambili, uManolo, uyabulawa kwaye uchitha uninzi lwemovie emva kobomi. Oko kukuthi, masijongane nayo, isiseko esingaqhelekanga somdlalo bhanyabhanya othengiselwe abantwana.
Kunjalo, INcwadi yoBomi ayisiyonto yokuqala yabantwana ukujongana nokufa. Njengokungenakubalwa Uluhlu oluphezulu olu-10 oluLusizi kakhulu lokuBulawa kwabantu kwi-Intanethi luya kukukhumbuza, imixholo yosizi, ilahleko, kunye nokufa ayisiyonto yolonwabo kubantwana. Oku kubuza umbuzo… kutheni? Uninzi lwabantu abadala luwujonga lo mbandela sele ukhule kakhulu, udandathekile, kwaye usoyika ebantwaneni, kwaye, ngelixa ndingavumi, inkxalabo yabo isalungiselela impendulo:
Kutheni le nto uninzi lwemidlalo bhanyabhanya ejongene nokufa… kwaye kutheni kubalulekile ukuba benze njalo?
Okokuqala, kukho izizathu zokuba kutheni ukubulala abalinganiswa kwimidiya yabantwana kunengqiqo kwindawo yokubhala.
Ukuseka izibonda zokufa kunika ibali ifuthe elikhulu kwiimvakalelo (zazinamandla kangakanani ParaNorman Kutyhila ukuba uAgatha Prenderghast wabulawa ngokungafanelekanga?), Kwaye ukufa kungasebenza njengeyona nto ibangela ukuba eli cebo liqhubeke (yintoni, thandaza uxelele, ingaba INgonyama yeNgonyama sele malunga nokuba uMufasa wayengafanga?). Inokunceda ukukhula komlinganiswa, ngakumbi ukuba umlinganiswa ophambili ngumntwana. USimba, uLittlefoot, uBambi, uElsa, uAnna noSequel! Iimpawu zeempawu zikaHiccup zonke zixhomekeke ekuphulukaneni nabazali. Ngamanye amagama, ukufa sisixhobo esinamandla sokubalisa, kwaye imithombo yeendaba yabantwana inokuxhamla kuyo ngokungathi yeyiphi na.
Oko konke kulungile, utshilo u-Straw Man, kodwa loo nto ayichaphazeli ukuba kutheni ukufa kuyinto efanelekileyo ekuziseni ukuzonwabisa kwabantwana. Njengoko sele kukhankanyiwe apha ngasentla, uninzi lwabantu abadala luyakhathazeka ukuba ludandathekisa kakhulu kwaye lusoyikisa isihloko sabantwana abancinci, kodwa ndiyaphikisana. Kubalulekile ukujongana nokusweleka kumajelo eendaba ajolise ebantwaneni kuba, ...… isilumkiso sombhuqi * wonke umntu uyafa.
Kungekudala okanye kamva, ngenye indlela, abantwana bafunda ukuba ubomi abuhlali ngonaphakade, kwaye abazali, abenzi befilimu, kunye neebhodi zokuhlola abazenzi nto ngokubakhusela kuzo zonke iinyaniso ezingathandekiyo. Izihloko ezinzima kufuneka zijongiwe ngendlela efanelekileyo ngokobudala, kodwa kusafuneka zijongiwe. Imiboniso bhanyabhanya ejongene nokufa inokubazisa ngobunono abantwana kwezi zinto zoyikekayo kwaye inike i-catharsis kwabo sele bejongile.
Isitalato iSesame kwaye Ubumelwane bukaMister Rogers Omabini la maqela adumileyo azinikele ekuchazeni ukufa ngokuthe ngqo kubabukeli babo abancinci ukuphendula ukusweleka kukaWill Lee (aka Mr. Hooper) kunye nokubulawa kukaRobert Kennedy, ngokwahlukeneyo.
Ngokufanayo, Umhlaba ngaphambi kwexesha , ngelixa kucacile ukuba kuqhutywa ngokubhalwe ngaphezulu kunokuba Isitalato iSesame okanye Umnumzana Rogers , iyacotha emva kokusweleka kukamama kaLittlefoot ukuba athabathe into eyenzekileyo kwaye anike umbono othuthuzelayo wokulahleka ngeRooter. Ayilotyala lamntu, uRooter uxelela uLittlefoot (kunye nabaphulaphuli abafelweyo). Isangqa esikhulu sobomi sele siqalile kodwa, uyabona, ayisithi sonke esifika kunye ekugqibeleni. Uyakuhlala umkhumbula [umama wakho], kodwa uyakuhlala enawe okoko nje ukhumbula izinto akufundise zona. . Ngendlela ethile awusoze wohlukane, kuba useyinxalenye yomnye nomnye. Amagama alumkileyo, uRooter. * Uvuthela impumlo Amagama anobulumko.
Kukho into ekhethekileyo kakhulu malunga namabali okwenza ujonge umhlaba ngokwahlukileyo. Kwiphepha elincinci lokunciphisa iinyembezi, ukwazisa abantwana ngombandela onzima njengokufa kunokuba luncedo kuba kubenza bacinge. Ukufa, ukubakho kobomi basemva kokufa, ubomi obufutshane, amandla othando (sukuqengqa amehlo akho, ndizimisele)… ayizizo izihloko uninzi lwabantwana ezinokucinga ngazo zodwa, kodwa kufanelekile Ukucinga malunga-mhlawumbi ngakumbi kubantwana abaneembono zehlabathi ezisakhekayo.
Ukuthetha ngamava am, ndiyakhumbula ndididekile kuloo nto Gxila kugxilwe Oodade baseSanderson bakhetha ukohlwaya uThackery Binx ngobomi obungunaphakade. Ndixakiwe ukuba ukusweleka kwakhe kwakukrakra kwaye kumnandi. Ukuqala kwam ukubona uCasper, ndachukunyiswa ngumbuzo kaKat Kunjani ukufa ?, njengoko yayiyinto endingazange ndayicinga ngaphambili. Ndiqinisekile kananjalo ukuba isityhilelo sokuba uCasper usweleke xa wayeneminyaka elishumi elinambini yayingumzuzu endabona ukuba abantwana bangafa. Ndiqinisekile uninzi lwabantu abadala abaneenjongo ezintle babuza ubulumko bokubandakanya izinto ezinzima ezinjalo kwiifilimu, ukanti yayingamaxesha afana nalawo awenza ukuba akhumbuleke kum. Ndityala ezo movie ezinye zeengcinga zam zokuqala zefilosofi.
Kwangelo xesha, ewe, sonke sasinamava okufa-bhanyabhanya njengabantwana ababesenza buhlungu. ndibene Nye . Unayo enye. Inkwenkwana ebonileyo Uliqeqesha njani inyoka yakho 2 ngoku inye. Ayingabo bonke abantwana abanokujongana nentlekele ekwiskrini ngokulinganayo, yiyo loo nto imiboniso bhanyabhanya ebonisa okanye ebhekisa kubomi basemva kokufa ifanelwe kukuqwalaselwa ngokukodwa, hayi ngenjongo yokujonga umbono wokomoya kodwa nokwenza ukufa ngendlela engoyikisi kangako… leyo isibuyisela INcwadi yoBomi .
Ukuba akukho enye into (kwaye ndikulindele lukhulu kule movie), INcwadi yoBomi ayiyi kukhunjulwa ngokungathethi nje ngokufa, kodwa ukuyenza ibe yinto yesiqhelo, ukubonisa ababukeli abancinci ukuba ukucinga nokuthetha ngokufa akufuneki kube kukudandatheka okanye kukubi. Ngokubonisa umlinganiswa ongasekhoyo kunye nokubeka indawo kumdlalo bhanyabhanya kwiLizwe lomthendeleko ongunaphakade, INcwadi yoBomi ujongana nenyani yokufa (kunye nenyani yokuba abantu bangafa besebancinci) kodwa esenza njalo ngovuyo, usempilweni Umoya kaDia de Los Muertos: ukufa yenye nje inxalenye yobomi, ayisiyonto intle okanye imbi, nje… La Muerte.
Kwaye ayisosifundo esibi ukuba abantwana basifunde.
