Ukwazisa uDorothy Dandridge sisikhumbuzo esinamandla seMizabalazo yabaMnyama abaDibana nayo

I-HBO ekugqibeleni ikhutshiwe Ukuzisa uDorothy Dandridge yokusasaza kwiHBO Max. Ndichulumancile ndazinika ixesha lokuyibukela kule mpelaveki kwaye ndivuthelwe lilifa elinamandla likaDorothy Dandridge, kunye nokusebenza kukaHalle Berry njengenkwenkwezi. Wayenamandla kwaye wasebenzisa isibheno sakhe sesini, umtsalane, kunye nokudumisa ukuzisa uDandridge ebomini.

Ifilimu ibonisa ubomi kunye neenkwenkwezi ezikhulayo ezazinguDorothy Dandridge, owayesuka kwiSekethe yaseChitlin esiya kwikhondo lomculo elithembisayo, kunye nenqaba yesidima sakhe njengenkwenkwezi UCarmen jones Ngo-1954. Ngelixa umboniso bhanya-bhanya ungagubungeli zonke iinkalo zobomi bukaDandridge, into eyibonisa ngendlela emnandi yeyokuba umlingisi wayelixhoba lezono ezibini zokuba nguMnyama kunye nomntu obhinqileyo kwiminyaka yoo-1950.

Kungumthwalo uninzi lwabantu bexesha lakhe abajongana nawo, kodwa wakwazi ukudlula kuLena Horne, Pearl Bailey, nabanye. UCarmen jones wenza uDandridge umfazi wokuqala oMnyama ukuba atyunjwe kwi-Best Actress, into eyayingayi kuphinda iphindwe kude kube ngo-1972 xa uCicely Tyson (RIP) kunye no-Diana Ross bobabini batyunjwa.

ndibukele UCarmen jones Kutshanje, kwaye kuyonwabisa! UDandridge ubalasele kwaye chemistry yakhe kunye noHarry Belafonte ayinakuthelekiswa nanto. Ungazibona zonke izinto ezitsale abaphulaphuli kwaye zamenza inkwenkwezi.

Ukuthandana kwakhe no-Otto Preminger, owayalela UCarmen Jones, Ekugqibeleni waba yinxalenye yokuwa kwakhe. Ngo-1955 watyikitya isivumelwano semidlalo bhanyabhanya kunye ne-20th Century Fox eqala kwi- $ 75,000 yefilimu. UDarryl F. Zanuck wayefuna ukumenza inkwenkwezi kwaye wamcela ukuba adlale indima yendima yeTuptim kwi Mna noKumkani kunye nommelwane kwi Isiketi esinxibileyo uLieutenant .

U-Preminger wamxelela ukuba ale ezo ndima, kwaye bagqibela ngokuya ku-Rita Moreno, oza kuphumelela u-Oscar Ibali laseNtshona .

Emva kweminyaka emithathu emkile kwifilimu, wabuya wabuyela kuthotho lweefilimu ezazingafanelekanga. Owona mbambano mkhulu awajongana nawo yayikukuba, njengenkwenkwezi yabasetyhini abaNtsundu, zazininzi kakhulu iindima anokuzidlala ngenxa yeKhowudi yeMveliso yokuPhathwa kweMifanekiso yokuShukumiseka malunga nobudlelwane phakathi kwabantu bezinye iintlanga. Abadlali abamhlophe nabangekho mhlophe babengavunyelwe ukuba basondelelane kunye kwiscreen. Ke ngoko, ngaphandle kokuba ebesebenza kunye noluhlu olunye olujikelezayo lwabadlali abaMnyama, ngekhe akwazi ukudlala phambili.

Oko, kudityaniswa nobomi bobuqu obubuhlungu, kwamkhokelela ekuthandeni kwakhe, kwaye eneminyaka engama-42, ngo-1965, wasweleka phantsi kweemeko ezingaqondakaliyo.

Kumabhaso ama-74 e-Academy Award, uHalle Berry waba, kwaye uhlala engoyena mdlali ungomhlophe ngonaphakade Phumelela uMlingisi oGqwesileyo, ngokusebenza kwakhe Ibhola yeMonster . Kwintetho yakhe, ubulele abaninzi kodwa uyiqale ngokunikezela kuDorothy Dandridge:

Eli xesha lelikaDorothy Dandridge, uLena Horne, uDiahann Carroll. Kungenxa yabasetyhini abame ecaleni kwam, uJada Pinkett, u-Angela Bassett, uVivica Fox. Kwaye yeyomntu wonke ongenamagama, umfazi ongenabala ongenabala ongenalo ithuba ngoku kuba olu cango ngokuhlwanje luvuliwe. Enkosi. Ndizukisiwe kakhulu. Ndizukisiwe kakhulu.

Ngokufana noDandridge, umzuzu ka-Oscar wavula iingcango zikaHalle Berry, kwaye ngokungafaniyo neyokuqala, wazithatha ezininzi. Sambona uBerry ehamba ngokulandelelana okungahambelaniyo emva ko-Oscar kunye neefilimu ezimbalwa kakhulu esazi ukuba makenze ntoni naye. Oko ndibukele uBerry engena Ukuzisa uDorothy Dandridge , Ndikhunjuzwe ukuba ngumlingisi onamandla, omnandi, oyinyani.

IHalle Berry kufuneka ikwii-comedies zothando. Umelwe kukuba njalo ekhokelayo kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya engatyiswanga nje ngobuhle bakhe. Kuya kufuneka aqhubeke ngakumbi kunokuba enjalo njengomdlali weqonga, kuba ngaphandle kwendlela eyayisenziwa kwikhondo lakhe lomsebenzi, ezo zithintelo zempumelelo zisekho phaya.

Ndonwabile ukuba i-HBO ivumile ekugqibeleni ukuba le vidiyo ibe nokusasaza ekhaya kuba ngumdlalo omnandi ngumdlali weqonga onamandla onika imbeko kumfazi onesiphiwo osweleke kwangoko.
