Umdlalo weqonga omtsha Iliwa leKasbah yenziwe ngoludwe oluhle kakhulu lokuba ngubani oseHollywood: eyalelwa ngu-Barry Levinson ophumeleleyo kwi-Academy Award, ebhalwe nguMitch Glazer (Scrooged), kunye no-Bill Murray, kunye noBruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride, kunye no-Zooey Deschanel. Kodwa igama onokungalazi okwangoku nguLeem Lubany, umdlali ongumlingisi wasePalestine emenza ukuba aluthathe ulwimi lwesiNgesi njengoSalima.
Ngomdlalo bhanyabhanya obekwe eAfghanistan, uLubany udlala ibhinqa eliselula elinomnqweno wokucula kumdlalo kamabonwakude waseAfghan Star, umlinganiswa ophefumlelwe ngokukhululekileyo ngumgqatswa wobomi bokwenyani uSetara Hussainzada. ILubany sele inenkwenkwezi Omar , uOscar ngo-2013 watyumba umboniso bhanyabhanya obalaseleyo welinye ilizwe, waphoswa xa wayesesesikolweni esiphakamileyo, kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba afumane iprofayili yakhe ephakanyiswe ngumdlalo Iliwa leKasbah , kwindima ekwayifuna ukuba abonise ilizwi lakhe lokucula elinomdla. Sithethile ngendima yakhe kwifilimu, esebenza neli qela leenkwenkwezi, kwaye sibeka ilizwi elitsha kwiingoma ezithile ezaziwayo zeCat Stevens.
U-Lesley Coffin (TMS): Ngaba abenzi beefilimu okanye abalawuli be-casting bakubonile ungene Omar ngaphambi kokuba uphoswe kwifilimu?
Leem Lubany: Ngokwenyani, bendiseLos Angeles kwiiMbasa zeAkhademi xa ndifumene uphicotho, kuba Omar wonyulwa. Umphathi wam wandifunela uvavanyo lwefilimu ngelo xesha. Ke ukuphoswa kule filimu kwenzeke ukuba kube sisiphumo se Omar , kodwa hayi ngenxa yokusebenza kwam kule filimu.
NJL: Yayahluke ngantoni ukwenza ifilimu yakho yokuqala yaseHollywood neyesiNgesi, xa kuthelekiswa nokusebenza kwifilimu enje Omar ?
Lubany: Ukuqala kwam ukufumana indima, ndandinovalo kakhulu. Ndandisazi ukuba ngoobani uBarry Levinson noMitch Glazer kunye nezinto abazenzileyo, kodwa ndandixhalabile kakhulu ngokuvana noBill. Ungumdlali omangalisayo kwaye uhambe indlela ende. Ungumntu wasentsomini, kwaye ndandisazi ukuba uninzi lweziganeko zam zazichasene naye. Kwaye ndandisoyika ukuba le yayiyifilimu yam yokuqala yaseHollywood, kodwa ndazama ukungacingi ngayo ngelixa ndiyenzayo. Ukufika kwam kuseti kwaye ndadibana noBarry noMitch kunye noBill nawo wonke umntu, babelungile kwaye bendenza ndaziva ndikhululekile kwaye ndikhuselekile. Ke bendinovalo kuphela ngaphambi kokufota, kodwa ndakuba ndifumene ukuseta, ndalibala ngayo yonke loo nto kwaye ndonwabile ngalo mzuzu.
NJL: Ngaba yayiseti entle yentlalo eMorocco?
Lubany: Ewe. Into endiyifundileyo kule filimu, kukuba ngalo lonke ixesha usebenza kwimovie entsha, kunye nabalingisi abatsha kunye neqela, uya kuba lolu sapho lukhulu. Kwaye kule bhanyabhanya, kwakumangalisa, kuba ndasebenza noBill kakhulu, safumanisa ukuba sinolu nxibelelwano lukhulu. Waba ngumhlobo, kodwa wandinika nenkxaso kwaye wandinika neengcebiso. UMitch undinike neengcebiso naye, wandixelela ukuba ucinga ntoni xa ebhala. UBarry uthanda ukunika abadlali indawo eninzi yokusebenzela abalinganiswa babo. Ke bendinayo le nkqubo inkulu yenkxaso. Kwaye emva kokuba sigqibile ukufota yonke imihla ebusuku, sasisiya kudla kunye kunye kwaye siyokonwaba eMorocco, eyindawo entle kakhulu. Sibe nexesha elimnandi ke.
NJL: Ngaba eli lixesha lokuqala unethuba lokucula ngobungcali?
Lubany: Yi. Kwaye bendonwabe kakhulu ukufumana ithuba lokwenza oko. Xa ndandisemncinci, ndandicula kakhulu, esikolweni nakwimidlalo yesikolo esiphakamileyo. Ndandifuna ukuba yimvumi eqeqeshiweyo. Kodwa eli lixesha lokuqala ukuba ndicule kwikhamera, ngendima, kwaye okokuqala ndiyarekhoda studio.
NJL: Ngaba ubuqhelene neengoma zikaCat Stevens ozivuma kwifilimu?
Lubany: Ndihlala ndithanda umculo weCat Stevens. Kwakumnandi kakhulu ukwenza ezo ngoma, kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba ndibenzele ubulungisa. Kwaye mhlawumbi ngenye imini ndiza kuba nethuba lokudibana naye kwaye ndifumane ithuba lokumbuza ukuba ucinga ntoni.
NJL: Ngaba ubuyazi i-Afghan Star, ngendlela yokubhala okanye iindaba zeendaba eziphume ngayo?
Lubany: Bendisazi ngezi ntlobo zemidlalo, kwaye bendisazi ukuba kukho enye eAfghanistan. Kodwa andizazi iinyani xa ndithatha inxaxheba. Kwakungekho ndade ndathetha noBarry apho ndafunda ukuba i-movie yayisekelwe kwibali eliyinyani. Kodwa ngalo lonke ixesha ndifumana indima, kubalulekile ukwenza uphando lwam, ke xa ndifumene indima, ngokuqinisekileyo ndayijonga.
NJL: Ngaba uzive ngathi unolwazi olomeleleyo lokuba ubomi buya kuba njani e-Afghanistan ngesimilo sakho?
Lubany: Njengoko benditshilo, ndihlala ndisenza uphando ngabalinganiswa endiza kuwudlala. Ke kwakubalulekile ukuqonda ukuba kutheni ecula emqolombeni kuphela. Kodwa kum, kwakubaluleke kakhulu ukugxila kwisibindi sakhe kunye nokuba msulwa kwakhe kunye nokuba msulwa kwakhe. Ngokusisiseko, unephupha, kwaye usebenza nomlingiswa kaBill ukufezekisa elo phupha. Kwaye bendifuna ukugxila kulomyalezo, endaweni yokugxila kwingcinezelo. Kodwa bendisazi kwaye ndenza uphando lwam, ukuze ndiziqonde izinto ezime endleleni yakhe. Kodwa ndilwenzile lonke uphando lwam kwangaphambili ukuze ndikwazi ukudlala nje umlinganiswa xa siseti kunye nokufota.
NJL: Ndingacinga ukuba ukudlala umlinganiswa obhalwe njengonyulu nolungileyo ukusuka ekuqaleni kuye esiphelweni, kunokuba ibe ngumntu ophikisanayo ngakumbi njengoko kudlalwa nguBill omnye, kunokuba ngumzabalazo kuba kuya kufuneka ubekhona kwimidlalo.
Lubany: Kukho into eyinyani malunga naloo nto, kwaye kwakunzima ngamanye amaxesha ukudlala umlinganiswa. Kodwa ndiyithandile indlela awayehlala egxile kwiinjongo zakhe kwaye engazange aye ngasekhohlo okanye ngasekunene, ngqo ngqo, kuba wayehlala eyazi into ayifunayo. Kwaye ndaziva ndinxibelelana naye, kwaye khange ndive ukuba ingcinezelo ingako idlala ngaye. Kodwa yayiyindlela enomdla yokuhla naye, kuba awuluboni utshintsho olukhulu. Kukho ukungqubana kwangaphakathi kumlinganiswa wakhe, kodwa awuyiboni kwiscreen. Kodwa ngethemba lokuba unokuxelela ukuba wabutshintsha njani ubomi bakhe ukusuka ekuqaleni ukuya ekugqibeleni.
NJL: Uqale njani njengomdlali weqonga?
Lubany: Ndandisemncinci kakhulu kwaye ndafumana nje umnxeba ovela kumlawuli we-casting malunga nomsebenzi lowo Omar . Ndandisemncinci kakhulu xa ndagqiba kwelokuba ndifuna ukuba yimvumi edumileyo. Kodwa nangona kunjalo ndiyakhumbula ndibukele iimovie ezininzi, ndisenza njalo, kwaye bendisoloko ndizixabisa iinkcukacha ezincinci abazibeka kwiscreen. Indlela ikhamera ehamba ngayo okanye indlela umdlali ahambisa ngayo umzimba wabo. Ke xa ndicinga ngayo, bendinomdla wokudlala ndisemncinci, bendingekayazi nje. Ke xa ndafumana loo fowuni kwaye ndafumana indima kuyo Omar , Bendisazi ukuba yile nto bendifuna ukuyenza ngobomi bam.
NJL: Yintoni elandelayo kuwe?
Lubany: Ndiphicothwe ikakhulu, kwaye ndikhangela iprojekthi elandelayo. Ndivulelekile kuyo yonke into, ukusuka kwimveliso ephezulu kakhulu yaseHollywood ukuya ekuzimeleyo, ukuba nje abalinganiswa bacelomngeni. Ndifuna ukuzicelomngeni kwaye ndizazi ngcono kwiprojekthi nganye endiyenzayo. Kodwa ndivuleleke kuyo yonke into.
