Uluhlu oluLungileyo lweMihlangano ngoMeyi, enyanisweni, luchane kakhulu kwaye lumnandi

Iimpawu ezilungileyo , Incwadi kaNeil Gaiman kunye noTerry Pratchett, iyonwabisa, ibengezela kwaye inobuqili. Itshintshe inkcubeko yethu ngeendlela ezingazukubonakala kwiminyaka emva kokukhululwa kwayo ngo-1990 kwaye ihlala iklasikhi kumanqaku abalandeli. Ukanti, Iimpawu ezilungileyo uthotho lwenkulumbuso yeAmazon limited… luhlobo lokubhora-okanye ubuncinci bekukum.

Ndiyazi, ndiyazi; ithandwa kakhulu kwezinye izangqa ze-fandom ngoku, ikakhulu ngenxa yemidlalo kunye ne-chemistry yeendoda ezimbini ezikhokelayo, kodwa njengoluhlu oluqondwe ngokupheleleyo? Kwakungafane kubambe ingqalelo yam, kwaye yandenza ndaqala ukuzibuza: Inokwenzeka njani into yokuba into ehlekisayo, ehlaziyayo, kunye neyoyikiso kwincwadi ibe siscreen esikrinini? Yintoni eguqulweyo ukusuka kwiphepha ukuya kwi-Prime? Ndicinga ukuba impendulo kukuba umhlaba utshintshile, kwaye Iimpawu ezilungileyo khange i.

Okokuqala, isikhalazo ngaphambi kokuba uthumele i-imeyile yentiyo: Konke oku kungumbono wam, kwaye andikho apha ukuba ndinyathele okanye ndixelele nabani na ukuba bayaphazama ukuba bonwabele lo mboniso. Khange isebenzele mna buqu, kunye nezizathu zokuba ndithethe kumbuzo omkhulu wenkcubeko.

Andiyi kuyiphikisa loo nto Iimpawu ezilungileyo lulungelelwaniso lothando noluthembekileyo lwencwadi. Umboniso wancedwa nguNeil Gaiman ngokwakhe kwaye uyincwadi yothando eya kuTerry Pratchett ongasekhoyo. Zonke iinkcukacha ezincinci ezivela kwinoveli yasekuqaleni zilapho, kuninzi ukuvuya kwabalandeli abanomdla kunye nabafundi abasondeleyo. Nangona kunjalo, kumnandi njengawo onke amaqanda e-Ista, olo hlonipho lumi endleleni yoluhlu ukuba lukhulu ngokwenene. Ngandlela-thile, kukho kaninzi Kwiskrini, kungekho namnye umlinganiswa okanye iyelenqe eliguquliweyo okanye elishiyiweyo, nokuba bayadika (uxolo, Witchfinders).

Isitayile esibonakalayo sihleli kwaye asiphefumlelwanga, kwaye ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza kuhlala kutsala. Ukugxila kakhulu ekuxeleleni konke yebali, akukho ngqalelo ihlawulelweyo ukuyenza ngendlela enomdla. Kwimizamo yayo yokuhlonipha inoveli, kuncinci kakhulu oko entsha malunga Iimpawu ezilungileyo , kwaye yinto leyo incwadi ebhaliweyo ngo-1990 ifuna kakhulu.

Iimpawu ezilungileyo yayiyinto ethe ngqo eber-mnyama '70s kunye nee-80s zoyikisayo, ezinje Uvavanyo okanye Usana lukaRosemary . Yayithatha inkolo kunye noloyiko lukaMtyholi ngobubhanxa kunye nobuphukuphuku, kwaye ngelo xesha, oko kwakukubi kakhulu. Emva phayaa, kwakuhlekisa kwaye kubhukuqa ngaphakathi kwaye kukodwa ukwenza isiphelo sehlabathi sibe luhlekiso, kodwa ke abanye abadali benza kwa into enye, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba baphenjelelwa Iimpawu ezilungileyo . Ukusuka kuBuffy uxelela umlindi wakhe ukuba amlilele ukuba iapocalypse iza kwingelosi ethe gxada isindisa inzala kaYesu Imfundiso , ii-90s zazigcwele ukungabi nantlonelo kuthatha uloyiko, ukholo, kunye nokuphela kweentsuku.

Ngexesha lama-2000s lajikeleza, Imimangaliso I-anarchic silliness kunye nokwala ukuthatha uMtyholi ngokungathandabuzekiyo kwaye yayiyinxalenye ye-DNA uninzi lweentlobo zemiboniso. Ngaphezulu , kunye nokuhlaziywa kwayo kweemeta kunye nokungahloneli iingelosi kunye needemon ngokufanayo, bekungekho ngaphandle Iimpawu ezilungileyo . Ngenxa yesihogo, kukho umlinganiswa ophambili ogama linguCrowley. Kuyafana nakulo lonke uthotho Ngaphezulu kwaye Buffy nefuthe. Ukusuka Amagqirha ukuya Wynonna Earp komnye umtyholi kaGaiman, Lusifa , USathana onecala lokugculela yinto eqhelekileyo. Inyaniso yokuba uninzi lweemovie kunye nemiboniso bhanyabhanya zityala ubuntununtunu bazo Iimpawu ezilungileyo kuthetha ukuba bekukho ezininzi Iimpawu ezilungileyo ukuba abaphulaphuli babesele beyibonile ngaphambi kokuba isakhelo esinye solungelelwaniso lwenziwe.

Olu luvo lokubona konke oku ngaphambili, kwaye Iimpawu ezilungileyo ’Ukusilela ukuhlala nam, kundenze ndacinga ngobume behlaya ngokubanzi. Kukho isicatshulwa esivela rhoqo kwimigca yokuhlekisa kufana nesele: ungasichitha, kodwa siyafa kwinkqubo. Ukubuza ngoba into ehlekisayo, okanye kutheni ingahlekisi, ihlala isisidenge, kodwa kufuneka ndiyenze apha.

Ukuhlekisa, ngakumbi kunalo naluphi na olunye uhlobo, kuyachuma kwizinto ezintsha. Uburharha buxhomekeke kulindelo oluye lwaphazanyiswa, kwizakhiwo zamandla zonyuswa ngeendlela esingazilindelanga. Shrek yayihlekisa xa iphuma kuba uninzi lwabaphulaphuli lwalukhe lwabona ukuziqonda okunjalo, okuhlekisayo kuthatha kwiintsomi. Ngoku, yonke ifilimu yoopopayi iyaziqonda kwaye iyazikhethela, kwaye ngenxa yoko, Shrek Umhla kwaye uphelile kuburharha bawo.

Okufanayo kuya Iimpawu ezilungileyo ; ezo zinto zenze ukuba incwadi ihlekise kwaye ibe mnandi phantse iphantse ibe yiminyaka engamashumi amathathu ubudala kwaye ziye zaziwa ngokubanzi kuthi abanye kuthi Iimpawu ezilungileyo ayisengoyena mntu uphuma phambili engenangqondo, kodwa yinto eqhelekileyo. Umzekelo: I-Satanic Nuns yayihlekisa ngokwabo ngo-1990, kodwa nini IiChilling Adventures zikaSabrina unikezela uthotho lwayo lonke ekwakheni ngokutsha ibandla likaMtyholi njengentsomi yokuba ngusolusapho… kufuneka kubekho okungakumbi ukuze ihlaya lisebenze kwaba baphulaphuli.

Le ngxaki yokuguquluka iba yinto eguqukayo njengoko inkcubeko iguquka kwaye utshintsho yinto ehlekisayo yakudala. Izinto ezininzi ezaziguqukela ngelo xesha azothusi kwaye zide zibenamehlo amanje, kwaye le ngxaki ayipheleli nje ekuhlekiseni: Ubundlobongela Utatomkhulu ibonakala iyinto engaqhelekanga kule mihla. Iziphumo ebezikho kanye zomlingo UJason kunye neeArgonauts zitshizi ngoku. Kodwa babemangalisa ngexesha kwaye bayimisebenzi emikhulu ye ixesha labo.

Imisebenzi emitsha kunye nolungelelwaniso olutsha kufuneka lwakhiwe kwezo ziseko, ungaziphindi. Ii-apile kwii-Apile ziyadika xa sele udlala iiCards Against Humanity, kwaye naloo mdlalo uyeka ukuba yinto ehlekisayo wakube udlale onke amakhadi kwindawo yakho. Kungenxa yoko le nto kukho iipakethe zokwandisa, kwaye yiyo loo nto Iimpawu ezilungileyo iyafuneka, ngokoluvo lwam, ukuba ingabi sisiqwenga semyuziyam se-DOA. Kwaye ayizizo nje iziqhulo ezibonisa iminyaka yabo.

Nantsi enye into Iimpawu ezilungileyo Oko kube yinxalenye yentetho: ukumelwa komlingani. Umbuzo, kubalandeli abaninzi, kukuba idemon uCrowley (David Tennant) kunye nengelosi uAziraphale (Michael Sheen) bayathandana kwaye ukuba oko kubalwa njengabameli. Iimpendulo ezimfutshane zezi: ewe… kodwa hayi. Kukho uthando olucacileyo phakathi kwaba bafana, kodwa ayisiyothando olucacileyo, okanye nokuba ngummeli ocacileyo.

Ayothusi nakubani na olandela isiko elibi lokuba abantu bathumela abalinganiswa bobabini abanomtsalane, abamhlophe ababonisa amadoda kwaye bangahoyi yonke imiboniso ejikeleze bona bajolise kolo lwalamano. Yiloo nto nje eyenziwa ngabathumeli beenqanawa. U-Neil Gaiman uxhaswe ngokumangalisayo kukuziqambela kunye neentloko zeentloko malunga nala madoda angasebenziyo (kunye ngokunjalo noMichael Sheen ngaphezulu kwesihlandlo esinye), kodwa ukhe wachaza ukuba zezokungagungqi, isini esingumlinganiso kunye nohlobo lothando lwabo ngokufanayo lutolikwa.

Konke oku kulungile, kodwa luhlobo lokumelwa okungezantsi okwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukusukela kwiminyaka ye-90 ukuya kwiminyaka yakutshanje-uhlobo olwalusekhaya kwimidlalo efana Xena okanye USherlock —Iya isiba lixesha njengoko iya isiba nkulu ngokwenene Abalinganiswa abangaguqukiyo kunye nabesini ezahlukeneyo bavela kwiscreen. Ayikuko ukuba ukunqongophala kwento ecace ngakumbi phakathi kwaba balinganiswa akulunganga kwibali elingenanto, kodwa lolunye uncedo nje lwento esele siyibonile.

Kodwa mhlawumbi yiyo loo nto kukho abalandeli abaninzi abasabelayo kuyo. Iimpawu ezilungileyo ukubheja okuqinisekileyo; Inazo zonke izinto abalandeli abazithandayo kwiphakeji entsha kwaye akukho nto ingako-njengoku-odola isandwich oyithandayo kwindawo yokutyela eyahlukileyo- kwaye ndiyayithanda into eyenziwa ngabenzi bayo Iimpawu ezilungileyo Ndifuna ukwenza kolu hlengahlengiso. Sisikhumbuzo kuTerry Pratchett, esakhiwe ngononophelo nothando.

Ingqina uburharha bakhe kunye nobuchule bokuyila, kodwa ikwangqina ukuba ukuziqhelanisa kube nzima kangakanani. Izinto ezisebenza ngolunye ulwimi zinokungasebenzi kolunye-cinga ngazo Abavelisi Umboniso oqaqambileyo waseBroadway othembeke waguqulwa waba ngumdlalo bhanyabhanya waseHollywood okruqulayo. Akwanelanga ukukopa inoveli kumdlalo weqonga; indlela entsha ifuna umbono omtsha. Ukwenza ubugcisa kunzima, kwaye akukho nto inokukholisa wonke umntu. Uburharha ngokukodwa bubunzima, kokubini kukudala kunye nokusasaza. Yintoni eyenza into ehlekisayo kumntu omnye inokufunda njengokuqikelela ngokupheleleyo komnye umntu. Yonke iyimfihlakalo, inene.

Mhlawumbi singade siyibize ngokuba ... ayinakwenzeka.

Kwiminyaka embalwa emva, xa kwakuqala ukwaziswa oko Iimpawu ezilungileyo ekugqibeleni yayitshintshelwa kwiscreen, ndandonwabile. Ndiyithandile incwadi ukuqala kwam ukuyifunda. Ndinike iikopi kubahlobo kwaye ndisahleli ndincumile xa ndikhumbula iinkcukacha ezincinci, kodwa kwenye indawo kumxube, umdla wam wabetha inyambalala. Njengokuba imveliso yayixinekile kwaye iphoswayo ibhengeziwe, bendinomdla kwaye ndichulumancile nguDavid Tennant kunye noMichael Sheen kuba ibivakala njengokhetho olulungileyo, olusengqiqweni… kodwa ikwaziva ikhuselekile.

Nangona kunjalo, ndiqhubekile nokulandela imveliso njengoko isenzeka kwimidiya yoluntu. Imifanekiso nganye kwaye isafana nento ethe ngqo evela kule ncwadi… kwaye nganye nganye, ndiye ndaya ndisiba nomdlandla, kwaye andikwazi ukubeka isizathu. Ukanti, ngelo xesha Iimpawu ezilungileyo yayifumaneka ukusasaza, nditsho ngayo yonke into endiyenzayo kunye nokunyuselwa, kwafuneka ndizinyanzele ukuba ndiyibukele… kwaye nje ukuba ndiyenze, yayisisidenge.
