Xa iinqwelwana zokuqala ze-epic entsha kaRidley Scott, IEksodus: Oothixo kunye noKumkani , hit, impendulo yokuqala (ngokufanelekileyo) yayinomsindo ngenxa yokugcotshwa kwefilimu. Ngokukodwa ukubeka izinto yayiyimilo yoyilo lomdlali weqonga wase-Australia uJoel Edgerton, kunye nabantu baseMelika uSigourney Weaver noJohn Turturro (abonwa kakhulu kwitreyila), njengentsapho yasebukhosini. Yongeza kuloo nto uyilo olucwangcisiweyo lomlingisi uBen Mendelsohn njengeRhuluneli eyonakeleyo, efihlwe ngqo kwi-trailer, kwaye izikhalazo azikho ngaphezulu. Kwakukho akukho sizathu sivakalayo UScott kuye kwafuneka aqeshe abadlali abamhlophe kwezi ndima, kodwa ekusebenziseni uhlobo lobuso obumnyama kufana nokubeka iliso kwimpazamo yakhe. Ingathi wayesazi ukuba wenza into engalunganga xa ephosa phantse bonke abamhlophe kwiindima eziphambili, kwaye le yayiyindlela yakhe ephosakeleyo yokulungisa le meko kunye nokukholisa abaphulaphuli. Kwaye uScott emva koko wazimbela umngxunya onzulu nangakumbi, njengoko wenzayo uChristian Bale, xa ephawula ngesigqibo sokuthabatha, esithi ukulungiselela iinjongo zemali kuphela nokondla umxholo omdala kakhulu wokuba ii-blockbusters zaseHollywood zinokulinganisa kuphela abadlali abamhlophe; uhlobo olusulungekileyo lokucalucalulwa.
Ayisiyonto yokwenziwa ngokobuhlanga kuphela engakhathaliyo, ikwabeka kakhulu kwaye ayingqinelani ngokupheleleyo. Umzekelo, uJoel Edgerton ngamanye amaxesha ujongeka ngathi wenziwe ukuba ajongeke eMpuma Mpuma, ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha ulusu oluhle lubonakala ngathi lurhabaxa. Kwangokunjalo, ukubonakala kokuqala kukaMendelsohn kumenza abe mnyama kakhulu kunokwenza kwakhe unxiba kuyo yonke imovie. Ngokungaqhelekanga, iTurturro kunye neWeaver zigcina ukubonakala kwazo zilungile kwaye banxiba kuphela ii-make-up ezinzima kunye neewigi. Kucacile ukuba uScott uzama ukukhumbula abadlali abadlala ezi ntlobo zabalinganiswa kwi-studio-age cinema; kodwa endaweni yekampu ye-Old Hollywood, sifumana iingcinga ezinobungozi.
Le yingxaki kuyo yonke ifilimu: UScott akazange azinikele ngokupheleleyo ekwenzeni imiboniso bhanyabhanya yekampu, ke ngelixa uFaro wase-Egypt okhohlakeleyo kunye nabantu bakhe bonke beyidlala, abadlali abadlala amaHebhere baceliwe ukuba babe ngabezendalo ngokupheleleyo kwaye nzulu. Yenza ifilimu eqhekeke ngokupheleleyo, apho imovie phantse ifike kwinqanaba lokubi kakhulu xa ijolise kwabahlali; kodwa ekugqibeleni, IEksodus: Oothixo kunye noKumkani isilela ukuya kude ngokwaneleyo ngeshizi yakudala, ke ihlala iyimovie imbi kakhulu ilungile imbi . Kubi kakhulu, yenye yeemovie ezibi kakhulu zika-2014.
IEksodus: Oothixo kunye noKumkani kukuthi, ukuba ubungazi, ukuphinda ubalise IMithetho Elishumi , kwaye kunjalo nje kukuqhelaniswa nebali leBhayibhile njengoko kunjalo kukhunjulwa lweengqungquthela zikaCecil B. De Mille ukusuka ngonyaka ka-1956, neyayingumbuyiselo ukusukela ngo-1923. Ezo bhanyabhanya, nangona zazingomhla wazo, zazineziphene ezihlekisayo. Ubuncinci benziwe ngumlawuli owayenomdla ngale projekthi kwinqanaba lomntu, ebonakalise kumzamo oya kwii-epics zabo. Olu khathalelo lubanike iifilimu zabo umbono kunye nenjongo. Andazi ukuba yintoni malunga neli bali elenza ukuba uRidley Scott afune ukwenza le movie, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo akazange afumane umbono omtsha wokucacisa ixesha, imali kunye neetalente ezangena kule movie. Kwaye inkwenkwe , ngaba zininzi iitalente ezichithwe kule ngqungquthela yeeyure ezimbini ezinesiqingatha.
UJoel Edgerton ngumdlali weqonga obalaseleyo-bendimthanda Umkhosi kwaye Ubukumkani bezilwanyana - kodwa iinzame zakhe kwimiboniso bhanyabhanya ephambili ayikhange ibe mihle. Phakathi kwendima yakhe njengo-Uncle Owen kwi Idabi leenkwenkwezi prequels kunye nonyaka ophelileyo Igatsby enkulu , Ngokwenyani iHollywood khange ibone ukuba ingasetyenziswa njani iEdgerton ngaphaya kokudlala ubunzima bemisipha. Ngelishwa, ndingathetha into enye ngendlela iHollywood esebenzisa ngayo omnye u-Australia u-Ben Mendelsohn - ebuhlungu, ethathela ingqalelo owona msebenzi uhle kulo nyaka Inkwenkwezi phezulu (jonga lonto, hayi le). Apha, ndikrokrela ukuba ekuphela kwesalathiso esanikwa uMendelsohn yayikukuba ngumkhampasi, uguqulelo olunobunzima ngakumbi lomlinganiswa awayedlala kuye Umkhweli hase omnyama uvukile (kuba le nto ifunekayo kule bhanyabhanya yayiyidosi eyongezelelweyo yokugcwala abantu abathandana nabantu besini esinye!) Kukho amaxesha ambalwa xa ndikhunjuzwa ngobuqaqawuli bukaBen Kingsley kwiifilimu ezinje UGandhi kwaye Isilwanyana esinesini, kodwa emva koko uMendelsohn ugxothiwe ebalini.
USigourney Weaver noJohn Turturro ngokunjalo benza ukubonakala okufutshane kakhulu kwiindima ezingalungelanga umzamo wabo; ngakumbi u-Weaver, othe chu ukuya ekubeni ngumdlalo bhanyabhanya. Kwaye ngelixa uAron Paul njengoJoshua enexesha elininzi lesikrini, ubonakala ngathi unemigca emihlanu xa elandela kwaye ejonge uMoses phantse engenanto yakwenza nendoda. Inyani yile, bonke abadlali badlaliswe ngokupheleleyo ngabalinganiswa ababhali bengazikhathazi ngegama. Abadlali abafaka iinzame bashiyeka ukuba bazenzele ngokwabo, kwaye akukho manyano ngokubhekisele kwisitayile sokwenza, esinengxaki ngakumbi xa unabadlali abasebenza kakhulu enkulu kanye ecaleni kwabo banikezela ecaleni komdlalo omncinci.
Oko kundikhokelela ekubeni ndikholelwe ukuba asinakugxeka nayiphi na abadlali ekufuneka usebenze ngale script. Kufana nokulwa ibhere yegriza; inzame ayihlekisi, ayisebenzi, kwaye ekugqibeleni ingqina ukubulala. Ifilimu yabhalwa ngababhali-skrini abane abahlukeneyo, ophumelele u-Oscar uSteven Zaillian ( Uluhlu lukaSchindler Umtyunjwa weOscar uJeffrey Caine ( Igadi engapheliyo ) kunye namaqabane okubhala uAdam Cooper kunye noBill Collage ( INgcaciso eMfutshane yaseNew York kwaye INqaba Heist ). Andazi ukuba ngubani owaqala iskripthi kunye nokongezwa ngabanye, kodwa kwakungekho manyano kakhulu kwisitayile sabo sokubhala. Nangona kunjalo le projekthi yenzekile, le ndyikityha, ibiza kakhulu, ichasene nokuthatha indlela entsha kwizinto, ngamanye amaxesha ndisebenzisa ifilimu ka-1956 njengephepha lokukopela (ndingathanda ukufumanisa ukuba abantu abangalaziyo ibali bacinga ntoni IEksodus ).
Ngaphandle kweziphene zayo, enye ingqungquthela yebhayibhile kaDarren Aronofsky kulo nyaka, UNowa , ubuncinci yayiyifilimu ebalaseleyo. IEksodus Umboniso bhanyabhanya akanakuthatha isigqibo sokuba loluphi uhlobo lwemovie, okanye indlela yokuphendula umbuzo kaThixo. Ngaba le yindlela yokukholelwa kubukho bukaThixo kwibali leBhayibhile? Ngaba yayiyimbali yamandulo? Okanye ngaba oku kukunyaniseka kwebali lenkolo? IEksodus uyala nje ukuthatha naliphi na icala, eliyinxalenye enkulu yesizathu sokusilela ukwenza nantoni na eqinisekileyo okanye evakalayo. Inxalenye kuphela yefilimu ababonakala ngathi bayayicinga kwakhona kukuphosa umdlali weqonga u-Isaac Andrews njengenguqulelo yobuntwana yesivumelwano esidala sikaThixo… umlinganiswa ondikhumbuza uIsake Abantwana beMbona . Kubonakala ukhetho oluthandabuzekayo, kodwa ubuncinci bekukho ingcinga yoqobo kunye nesizathu emva kweso sigqibo.
Ukunikwa zonke ezi ngxaki ngabalinganiswa, ukubalisa, kunye neskripthi, ndingacinga ukuba uninzi lwabantu lunomdla wokubona le filimu (okanye nayiphi na ifilimu yeRidley Scott) iza kubona umboniso kunye nezenzo. Ngelishwa, nakwelo nqanaba, le movie iyasilela ukuhambisa, njengoko inemicimbi ephambili yesinema engenakuthetheleleka kumdlalo bhanyabhanya kweli nqanaba. Kukho izinto ezimbalwa ezibonakalayo ezipholileyo, njengemontage yezibetho eziqala ngokumangalisa ILake Placid Uhlobo lokulandelelana ukucacisa umlambo wegazi. Kodwa kumdlalo bhanyabhanya okwahlula ulwandle, uScott ubambe umva omkhulu. Ngokuqinisekileyo, umtshangatshangiso omkhulu wokubuyisela amanzi elwandle upholile, kodwa ukwafana kakhulu nale nto siyibonileyo I-interstellar kunye nentaba yamaza. Ndiza kuthi kukho ulandelelwano olunye ndicinga ukuba uScott wabethelelwa: ulandelelwano lwemoody xa kuthathwa abantwana bamazibulo base-Egypt; Nangona kunjalo, ayiziva inxibelelene nayo yonke ifilimu, apho uScott ebonisa ukungabikho kokuzibamba. Ndiza kuthatha indlela yokukhankanya ukuba umntwana odlala uNyana ka-Rhames ka-Edgerton ngumntwana othandekayo, mhle, ke nabani na ophosa umntwana ufumana inqaku lebhonasi.
Kodwa ubukhulu becala, imovie ibonakala ingenakuqikelelwa kwaye, ihlala imbi. UScott akabonakali ekhululekile ukufotwa kwi-3D, kwaye ibonisa. Umgaqo olungileyo wesithupha weefilimu ze-3D kukuthintela ukuba nabalinganiswa abahamba kwisakhelo esivela ngaphambili, kuba into yokuqala ababonayo abaphulaphuli (kwaye amehlo abo aya kutsalwa kuyo) ngumqolo wentloko enkulu, ebonakalayo. UScott wenza le mpazamo rhoqo. Kananjalo, uScott akayibekeli bhanyabhanya ukuba ithathele ingqalelo inani lamaxesha apho kubakho abantu abakhwele ihashe, ke eyona ndawo iphambili kwesikrini kwi-3D ihlala iyintloko okanye indlebe yehashe, engeyiyo olona lusebenziso lubalaseleyo lwetekhnoloji. Ndizifumene phantse ndifumana intloko ebuhlungu ngexesha lezinto ezithile ezenziwayo; Kwaye, kwakhona, kufuneka ndibongoze abalawuli: ndiyipholise ngekhamera eshukumayo kwiimovie ze3D. Phantse soze iyasebenza. Kwaye ngelixa ndiqonda ukuba uJJ. I-Abrams yenza iilensi flairs zipholile kwakhona, iilensi flair ngaphakathi ixesha Iimuvi azisebenzi ngendlela ezinokuthi ngayo kwiimpawu zangoku okanye zexesha elizayo, kwaye ufunde nje njengeziphoso kubaphulaphuli ( ngakumbi xa zenziwe nkulu kwi-3D). 
Ukuba ubonile iitreyila zemovie, uyazi ukuba ifilimu inayo ezinye impumelelo yezobugcisa. Izinxibo zenziwe kakuhle, iiseti ngokufanelekileyo, kunye nomgangatho omkhulu ngokuqaqambileyo. UScott kunye nomenzi wakhe wecinematographer u-Dariusz Wolski benza umsebenzi omkhulu kunye nezo zinkulu, ezitshayela umhlaba, kwaye-xa bekwazi-ukubonisa abantu abaninzi bedijithali bemgama. Kodwa INkosi yeeRingi uyenzile kuqala kwaye uyenze ngcono, kwaye akukho nto intsha malunga nendlela kaScott, ngenxa yoko andichukumiseki kakhulu okanye ndingene ekubukeni olo hlobo lobuchwephesha. Umboniso bhanyabhanya uhlala uhleli ungalunganga, ngakumbi amadabi kunye nezenzo, apho kunzima kakhulu ukudibanisa okwenzekayo. Amanqaku ka-Alberto Iglesias amnandi kwaye ayasebenza, kodwa asetyenziswa ngendlela ethi ekugqibeleni iphazamise ukubalisa kunye nabalinganiswa, endaweni yokuphucula ezo zinto.
Ngoku, ukusebenza kukaChristian Bale njengoMoses. Ndikuthintele ukuthetha ngayo ngaphambili kolu hlolisiso kuba kukho kakhulu Ingxaki enkulu ngayo, zombini ngokusengqiqweni nangokwembono. UBale ngokungathandabuzekiyo kuphela oyinyani yoluhlu lweenkwenkwezi kumdlalo bhanyabhanya, umlingisi uScott wayethetha ngokufuna ukwenza le movie; Ukanti uBale kuphela komdlali weqonga obonakala ngathi ufowuna ngokupheleleyo ekusebenzeni kwakhe. UBale ubonakala ehlukaniswe ngokupheleleyo nomlinganiswa kaMoses, kwaye akazange akhe abe chemistry nabanye abadlali kwiscreen. Nokuba ebehambe kancinci naye inkulu okanye naye kakhulu, olo khetho lwalunokuba ngcono kunokuba lwalusebenza. UBale uxelele oonondaba ukuba ubukele ii-comedies ezinje Imbali yeHlabathi yeHlabathi I kwaye Ubomi bukaBryan ukulungiselela indima, kodwa nokuba loo ndlela ilula yentliziyo ayibonisi. Kumdlali weqonga onconyelweyo ngokuthatha ngokungathĂ sina umsebenzi wakhe kangangokuba uzimisele ukubeka impilo yakhe emngciphekweni, uBale akabonakalisanga nokuzibophelela apha.
Kwaye ngokwembono, ukubukela le vidiyo malunga namakhoboka nokukhulula abantu, kukho into emangalisayo engonwabisiyo ngokubukela abathathu abancinci, amadoda amhlophe akhokela amawaka amakhoboka ombala aphume eYiputa. UBale, uPaul, noAndrew Tarbet (njengoAron) babonakala njengabasindisi abamhlophe esithetha ngabo, kwaye uScott wayenalo lonke ithuba lokwenza izinto ngokwahlukileyo. Ingxaki ngemfundiso yefilimu ngokukodwa kukugcwala okumhlophe phakathi kwabantu baseHerbrew. Mnye kuphela umlinganiswa ongumlingani kwifilimu, eyenzeka nakwifilimu enkulu kunye nehlekisayo, ngaphandle kwempembelelo ebonakalayo ye-1956. IMithetho Elishumi ukuqhubela phambili ngakumbi ngokucebisa ukuba uYoshuwa abe nentabatheko yesini noMoses. Abasetyhini abade babhalise njengabalinganiswa, kodwa okona kucaphukisayo ngumfazi kaMoses uZipporah (umlingisi waseSpain uMaria Valverde), obalulekileyo eBhayibhileni, kodwa akukho nto iyenye ngaphandle kweNtombazana, umdla wothando, kule filimu (le miboniso mibini yothando iyahlekisa ). Ngaphandle kukaBen Kingsley, andikhumbuli nanye indoda enombala odlala ikhoboka lamaHebhere enikwa umgca wencoko, ngokungafaniyo namaJiphutha enza ezinye iindidi ngeendima zokuxhasa.
Ke ithini inqaku le IEksodus: Oothixo kunye noKumkani ? Ukwenza imali ngokubalisa ibali eliqhelekileyo abantu abaninzi bayazi kwaye sele benayo incamathiselo? Kulungile, kodwa ngakumbi ngakumbi, kufanele ukuba kubekho isizathu esikhulu kunokuba sixelele le ibali elithile. Ngaba yayizame ukubalisa ibali likaMoses ngokungathi lichanekile ngokwembali? Okanye ukuxelela umyalezo wamandla kunye nenkululeko osasichaphazelayo namhlanje? Ukuba kunjalo, ifilimu iyasilela ukwenza ngempumelelo okanye nangayiphi na into engeyiyo. Ndikholelwa ngelinye ixesha ukugxininiswa kwimeko yobuzalwana, eya kuba yinto efanelekileyo yokuthatha ibali likaMoses noRamesses (ngokukodwa ngokuqwalasela ukuzinikezela kukaRidley Scott kumntakwabo uTony) .; kodwa ukuba bekunjalo, ungenzi nto ngaphandle kokuba uTurturro asixelele ngobu buzalwana, ngaphambi kokuba uScott asike ngokukhawuleza amaqhina abo, aqhekeze loo mba webali ngokupheleleyo. U-Bale no-Edgerton abanayo nayiphi na i-chemistry yokucebisa ubudlelwane obunje bobuzalwana kwizigcawu ezimbalwa abanazo kunye, kwaye uBale ubonakala engachaphazeleki kwaphela kukusweleka komntakwabo.
Ndimi noluntu ndisithi abayi kuhlawula ukuze babone le movie (khange ndiyenze), kodwa le ayisiyiyo imovie efanelekileyo kwingxoxo esemva kwayo. Mininzi imicimbi ephosakeleyo ngefilimu kwinqanaba lobuchwephesha, ulwakhiwo, ukuba ingxoxo ngemicimbi emikhulu yale filimu kufuneka igcinwe kumdlalo bhanyabhanya ofanelwe yingxoxo-mpikiswano kunye nengqwalaselo. Akukho nto intle okanye eyindumasi apha ngaphandle kwenkunkuma.
