Ukujonga i-Avatar: I-Airbender yokugqibela njenge-Asia yaseMelika

Phakathi kwembali ebaliweyo, i-epic adventure ephefumlelweyo yeGhibli, uburharha, umdlalo othandekayo, imiboniso yesenzo somnyhadala, kunye nemingcipheko yokubalisa, enye into eyenze umdla wam I-Avatar: I-Airbender yokugqibela uthotho, into eqhotyoshelwe kwimitya ye-nostalgic yokukhula njengeMelika yaseVietnam, okanye ngaphezulu ngokubanzi, i-causally-Buddhist Asia American. Ngexesha endibambe ngalo umboniso kwiNetflix ngo-2011 (ewe, amava am okujonga ayelilize ulwaphulo-mthetho), ndandisele ndigqalisile kwelifa lam lobuBuddha kwaye ndingasakhanyisi isiqhumiso rhoqo ebusuku phambi komfanekiso kaBuddha.

Iziqendu ezithathu, umboniso uvuselele ubumoya bam bobuBuddha, hayi ngendlela yokuba ndithathe isiqhumiso kwakhona, kodwa ngendlela enika ilensi yoxabiso ebuntwaneni bam.

Ngelixa umboniso wawukhuphela ngaphandle impembelelo ebonakalayo yaseVietnam kunye nokugxininisa kwimibala enzima yobuhle baseTshayina, amaNdiya, ama-Inuit, kunye neenkcubeko zaseTibetan, ndibambe imisonto yobuntwana bam obuBudhist obabuzele, obuvela kwimvelaphi yabazali bam baseVietnam. Kwibali lemvelaphi, u-Aang oselula wakhethwa phakathi kwamakhulu eentsana kuvavanyo lwezinto zokudlala ukumqinisekisa njengesiqalo sokwenene sokuzalwa kwakhona kukaMesiya-umlamli, i-Avatar. Ukuthetha ngobuBhuda baseTibet kwinkqubo yabantwana kwandothusa. Utata wam ongasekhoyo wayendifundisile ngengcamango yokuzalwa ngokutsha kukaDalai Lama kubuBhuda bamaTibet. Njengoko utata endixelele, xa uDalai Lama esweleka, uzalwa ngokutsha abe ngumntu omtsha, kwaye ngokufana ne-Avatar, iDalai Lama entsha ifunyenwe ziithoyi adlala nazo.

Kwiitempile ezingenanto u-Aang kunye nabahlobo baphonononga iimpendulo, ndicinga ngetempile endindwendwela wonke uNyaka oMtsha waseVietnam ukubona iidragons zokudanisa kunye neemonki. Xa ndisiva ivayolin yaseTshayina, erhu , kwi Ukufumana amanqaku kukaJeremy Zuckerman noBenjamin Wynn, ndicinga nge-VHS yeekonsathi zaseAsia oomakhulu noomakhulu badlala ngelixa bendigcinisa umntwana.

Kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, umakazi wam otyelele waseVietnam waseMelika wandibuza, Ngaba banalo mboniso kwiNetflix? Ndifuna abantwana bam ababini babukele. Umboniso ondixelele wona, lo ungowomntu ongumonki nefilosofi yaseAsia? Njengomfazi owayephupha ngokuvula eyakhe i-acupuncture office, u-antie wafunda ngezinto zaseMpuma, ii-charkas, kunye nokucamngca ngokucamngca, iinjongo zomdlalo webali lika-Aang. Ke ndaye ndacebisa umboniso kuye nakubantwana bakhe kuba wawuza kungqamana nomnqweno wakhe wokubona inkcubeko yaseAsia, ukuthanda kwakhe, kunye nomkhondo welifa lakhe kwiscreen nabantwana bakhe abaxubileyo-baseVietnam. (Awu, iNetflix iyikhuphele ngaphandle kokusasaza kwayo.)

Ewe, ukuhlanganiswa komboniso weenkcubeko ezahlukeneyo zaseAsia kunye nezemveli ayisiyo yonke indebe yombonisi waseAsia waseMelika. Akukho nto inomfanekiso ocacileyo weenkcubeko ezikhoyo. Kukho ababukeli abayibonayo le nkqubo njengolwabiwo-mali lwenkcubeko kunolwakhiwo lwehlabathi olunobuchule kunye nesicelo senkcubeko.

Kodwa ngentliziyo yam, yanikela ukukhanyiselwa kwilifa leBuddhist andizange ndilifumane etempileni.
