(Isilumkiso: abonakalisi abakhulu balandela lonke ixesha le Ukuhlaselwa kweNdlu yeNduli .)
Isiqendu sesithandathu somsebenzi wobugcisa weNetflix Ukuhlaselwa kweNdlu yeNduli luloyiso kumabonakude. Abantakwabo Crain abadala kunye notata wabo owahlukaneyo bahlanganisene ukuzolila intombi encinci uNell, osweleke ngokuzibulala. Kwizinto ezine kuthatha, uxinzelelo luyakha njengoko usapho lusilwa, ukuzama ukubeka ityala nokufumana intsingiselo kwilahleko yabo. Sitshintsha phakathi komhla wangoku kunye no-1992, apho usapho luhlanganisene kwindlu ene-titular ngexesha lesiphango kunye noloyiko olulandelayo. Kukho izothuso ezibonakalayo kunye nemibonakalo eyoyikisayo, kodwa owona mzuzu woyikisayo ngumsindo wosapho wosuku lwanamhlanje, kwaye uxinzelelo luye luphele xa unyana omkhulu uSteve ekugqibeleni ewathetha amagama ebehlala efuna ukuwathetha kuyise, uHugh. Ukunkwantya kwisakhiwo sethu akujolisanga kwaphela kwindalo, kodwa ngamagama uSteve angaze akwazi ukubuya nawo.
Umonzakalo kunye nempilo yengqondo zizinto ezikhohlisayo ezinokuboniswa kwifilimu nakumabonwakude. Ababhali nokuba abafuni ukuphonononga amacala ayo amabi, okanye bafuna ukuqhubela ekhaya uhlobo lomyalezo. Ingxabano inokwenziwa ukuba umyili wechungechunge uMike Flanagan ufuna ukuqhuba ekhaya umyalezo we-saccharine ngesiqendu sokugqibela, cwaka ulale ngokuthe chu. Kodwa kum, eso siphelo sisebenze kwinqanaba elinzulu, kuba sanika abalinganiswa be-catharsis ukuba bafaneleke kakhulu, nokuba yinto esinokuze siyifumane kwihlabathi lokwenyani.
Intsapho yaseCrain iphawulwe ngoxinzelelo. Ukuphulukana ne-matriarch u-Olivia kubusuku obulodwa obusenyongweni eHill House kwahlula utata uHugh kubantwana bakhe; Ukungaziqondi izinto ezenzekileyo kubo kubangela ukuba abantwana basabele ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo. USteve wenza imali ngentlungu yakhe ngokubhala, uShirley uyabajonga abantu njengoko umlinganiswa ebeka, UTheo wakha iindonga macala onke kuye. Intlungu enkulu ibangelwa ngamawele uLuka noNell, ababone ububi obabangelwa yile ndlu kuqala. U-Luke uphethukela kwiziyobisi kunye neziyobisi kwaye uNell uhlukaniswe yimpilo yakhe yengqondo kunye nentlekele embi. Abantwana abalunganga.
UFlanagan ujikelezahlulahlula phakathi kwempendulo yamadoda neyasetyhini kwintlekele ngendlela ebuhlungu. Njengokuba iinkozo ezingamadoda zityhala iimvakalelo zabo nzulu ngaphakathi kwaye zityhalele kude nosapho lwabo, abasetyhini nabo bafaka iintlungu ngaphakathi ngendlela eyahlukileyo. UTheo usebenzisa izipho zakhe zengqondo ukunceda abantwana abasweleyo. UShirley, ugqirha oswelekileyo, ungumama kwabo beza kuye ngosuku olubi ebomini babo. U-Nell uveza ukothuka xa igcisa lokulala limamela into ayithethayo kwaye engayigxothi.
Ibali likaNell labetha kabuhlungu kufutshane nasekhaya kum. Intlekele ilandele uNell ukusukela oko wayeneminyaka emithandathu ubudala. Ucela uncedo, kwaye xa engalufumani ukhalaza ngethemba lokufumana ingqalelo. Xa kungekho mntu uphendulayo, uya eHill House, indawo yomothuko wakhe. Apho ubuliswa yimiboniso yosapho lwakhe, emxelela yonke into ebenqwenela ukuyiva, kwaye adanise nomyeni wakhe ongasekhoyo, ekugqibeleni athandwe ngendlela ebekufanele ukuba yiyo. Iphela kabuhlungu nangona kunjalo, njengoko uninzi lwezinto zisenza eHill House, kwaye ukufa kwakhe kubuyela umva ngexesha ukubonisa ukuba iintlungu zakhe bezimhlutha ebomini bakhe obuncinci ubomi bakhe bonke.
Kwesi siqendu silandelayo, uNell uyanyamalala. Usapho lumkhangela ngamampunge, kwaye xa athe wavela kwakhona uyanyanzela ukuba ubemi lonke ixesha, ejiwuzisa iingalo zakhe ebabiza. Kutheni ungandibonanga? Uyabuza, ngelixa ikhamera isika umzimba wakhe omdala ebhokisini yakhe. Njengomntu okhe waziva ngamanye amaxesha njengokugula kwam kwengqondo kuye kwandibangela ukuba ndikhwaze ndingaviwa, amazwi akhe andishiye ndinomoya.
Ukubandezeleka kosapho lweCrain akusoloko kubonakala kakuhle. Abalinganiswa baziphatha kakubi. Bayangxama. Bathetha kwaye benze izinto ezingenakuxoleleka. Kodwa siyakwazi ukuvelana nabo, ukuba ayizizo indlela abaziphethe ngayo, kuba sazi awona maxesha anzima kunye noloyiko lwabo olunzulu. Xa befumana i-catharsis, ifunyenwe kakuhle kwaye kufanelekile, kuba aba bantu kudala besokola. Sifuna ukuba bafumane umzuzu othile woxolo, nokuba awusombululi zonke iingxaki zabo.
Umboniso ngobulumko awuthathi sigqibo sokuzama ukuphendula zonke iimfihlakalo ezizisa kubaphulaphuli. Ngamanye amaxesha azikho iimpendulo ezilula, ebomini nakumabonwakude. KuShirley, Theo, noLuka, ngekhe kubekho mpendulo kuyo yonke imibuzo yabo. Banikwe umzuzu wokunxibelelana no-Nell osisiporho, oxelela abo bafuna ukukuva kwaye ubakhulula kwityala lokufa kwakhe; kwabo bethu baphulukana nomntu, ngumzuzu wokuzaliseka komnqweno, ngakumbi kwabaphilayo kunabafileyo.
Indlu yeNduli ekugqibeleni iba sisikhumbuzo esikhulu sobukho bengozi. Iyetyisa abo bangaphakathi kuyo, ibangcungcuthekisa kwaye, kwimeko ka-Olivia, ibaqhubele ekwenzeni izinto ezimbi. Ngokucacileyo u-Olivia unesifo esingachazwanga kwaye indlu ibeka uloyiko kubantwana bakhe, imenza enze into engathethekiyo. UNell, engakwazi ukubaleka kwintlungu yakhe, ubuyela kwakowona mthombo wokufuna ukuxolelwa. UHugh uhlala apho kunye nenkosikazi yakhe kunye nentombi yakhe, kodwa hayi emva kokudlula nemfihlo yabo enkulu kuSteve.
Yabona, uHugh wenza isivumelwano noDudleys, abangabagcini bekhaya. Emva kokuba uOlivia atyhefe intombi yabo uAbhigali, uAbhigali ubuya njengesiporho ukuze ahambe iiholo zendlu. Isifungo sikaDudleys sokugcina imfihlo yesenzo sokugqibela esimanyumnyezi sika-Olivia kubo ukuba uHugh angavumela indlu ime kwaye ilambe, ungaze uvumele omnye umphefumlo ukuba ungene. Bona, abafana noHugh, abanakho ukuvumela ixesha labo elidlulileyo. Bafundile ukuhlala nayo.
USteve uba ngumgcini wosapho kunye noxinzelelo lwabo. Ngokusebenzisa i-montage, siyabona ukuba uxolelanisa nenkosikazi yakhe, kwaye uShirley uyavuma izono zakhe kumyeni wakhe, kwaye ekugqibeleni uTheo uvumela abantu ukuba bangene. Siphathwa kancinci ebomini babo kwiminyaka emibini kamva; U-Luke upholile, umfazi ka-Steve ukhulelwe, kwaye wonke umntu wonwabile. Kwilizwe liphela, uMnumzana Dudley uzisa inkosikazi yakhe esifa endlwini, ukuze umoya wakhe uphinde uhlangane nentombi yakhe. Ilizwi likaSteve libukisa imigca yokuvula yomboniso njengoko ethetha ngothando kunye nokuba sempilweni, kwaye umpu wokugqibela wendlu uphela umnyama.
Ngaba kukuphela kokucoceka kunobomi bokwenyani? Yiyo, kodwa yintsomi leyo kuwe. Ngaba ayifakwanga? Ngokuqinisekileyo akunjalo. Kukho ithemba kubalinganiswa abafumana i-catharsis abayifunayo, kuba nangona sibabona bephila kwaye bephumelela, siyazi ukuba intlungu yabo ayisoze yaphela ngokupheleleyo. Ikho, zombini ezingqondweni zabo nakwimo ebonakalayo yeNdlu yeNduli. Kodwa bafunde ukuhlala nayo, ngonxibelelwano lwabo omnye komnye.
Kuya kubakho abanye abathiye isiphelo ngenxa yokugqithisa kwe-saccharine. Nangona kunjalo, eli libali lesiporho, kwaye amabali ghost aneziphelo zekhonkrithi. Ndiyasincoma isigqibo sikaFlanagan sokuphelisa uthotho ngenqaku elinamandla, nethemba. Kulula kakhulu ukuxelela iincwadana zomothuko apho abalinganiswa bangaze baphile kwaye baphilise. Isigqibo sokuvumela abalinganiswa bakhe ukuba babe nolonwabo sinamandla, kuba ukuba nabalinganiswa abahlala kwaye bakhule ngamaxilongo bebashiya kwintlekele.
Ngethemba lokuba akuyi kubakho ixesha lesibini, nangona iNetflix inokufuna loo mali imnandi, nencasa. Ukuba ikhona, nceda ushiye iCrains kuyo. Bayeke badlule kunxunguphalo lwabo endaweni yokuphinda-phinda oko, kuba sonke sinqwenela ukukwazi ukuqhubeka nokudlula. Sinike oku, ubuncinci.
