Iifilimu ezinje I-Babadook , ibali likamama ongenaqabane lokukhusela umntwana wakhe, kwaye Intlango , into ebangela umdla ngabantu baseMexico ukuthathwa ngumphathi ophambeneyo kumda osemazantsi e-U.S., bayanyanzeleka ngenxa yokuba izothuso abajongana nazo zichaphazela amava athile kwaye zixelelwe ngelensi ethile. Jordan Peele’s Phuma yinto ebambekayo, exakileyo efumana into eyoyikisayo ngokuba mnyama eMelika.
Umfoti uChris Washington (uDaniel Kaluuya) ugoduka nentombi yakhe emhlophe, uRose (Allison Williams), ukuya kudibana nabazali bakhe, uDean noMissy Armitage (uBradley Whitford noCatherine Keener), okokuqala ngqa.
Kuqala, uhambo lubonakala luqhelekile, kungekho nto ngaphandle kwamaxesha athile (kulungile, ngaphezulu kwamaxesha athile) imicroaggression yokwenza izinto zingonwabisi uChris. Nangona kunjalo, okukhona behlala ixesha elide, nanjengoko uChris etsalwa ekuxubaneni kwindibano yonyaka uDean noMissy baphosa minyaka le, kokukhona eqaphela izinto ezingaqhelekanga.
Abanye abantu abamnyama asebenzisana nabo babonakala ngathi bayothuka kwaye bayothuka ngokwenene ekuziphatheni kwabo. Usapho lukaRose kunye neendwendwe ezimhlophe ethekweni zibonakala zixakeke ngokungaqhelekanga ngokuncoma amandla omzimba kaChris kunye neliso lomfoti. Phezulu, yonke into ibonakala ilungile. Kodwa, ewe, izinto azilunganga, kwaye uChris kungekudala uzokunqwenela ukuba angaze athabathe obu budlelwane aye kwinqanaba elilandelayo.
Umbhali / umlawuli uJordan Peele (we Isitshixo & Peele Udumo) ngokucacileyo uthanda iifilimu ezoyikisayo kunye nezinto ezonwabisayo, njengoko uninzi lwemizobo kumdlalo wakhe weComedy Central ubonakalisile. Apha, ekugqibeleni unenqaku elipheleleyo kuye, kwaye uphatha uhlobo lweetropiki zohlobo ngobuchwephesha; kukwenza utsibe esihlalweni sakho ngeendlela ozilindeleyo, kwaye ngeendlela ezininzi ongazenziyo. Yintoni eyona nto ibalaseleyo ngefilimu, nangona kunjalo, yindlela uPeele aluka ngayo ubomi bokwenyani, izinto eziqhelekileyo - njengomntu omnyama ojoliswe ngokungafanelekanga ngamapolisa - kwaye ubalandele ngamanqaku ebali eloyikekayo, eqaqambisa ukoyikeka kwemihla ngemihla.
Iskripthi siyamangalisa, sihamba ngokukhawuleza, kwaye siyakwazi ukuba noburharha kwaye yoyike ngaxeshanye. Nangona uPeele egxile ekuhlekiseni, musa ukwenza impazamo: Phuma ayisiyonto iyothusayo, iyoyikisa ngokwenyani. Ukuba bekufuneka ndenze isikhalazo esinye, bekuya kuba malunga nokusetyenziswa komculo wefilimu. Rhoqo, icandelo lomtya elixakekileyo lamanqaku licacisa into ebekufanele ukuba iyoyikisa. Njengokuba le ibiyinxalenye yomdlalo bhanya bhanya kaPeele, ndiyathemba ukuba ekuphumeni kwakhe okulandelayo uyazithemba kwaye uyahamba ngakumbi. Uyayazi indlela yokuhambisa ixesha elinzima, amaxesha apholileyo ngaphandle kokufaka yonke into ngevayolini ekhwazayo.
Lo mboniso bhanya-bhanya uphoswe ngokugqibeleleyo, kwaye ukusebenza kukaKaluuya okungalunganga kubamba ifilimu ngokudibeneyo. Udlala uChris ngokuthamba, ngoburharha, nangobukrelekrele, yonke edlala ngokufihlakeleyo ebusweni bakhe kuyo yonke ifilimu. UWhitford kunye noKeener benza umsebenzi omangalisayo wokuba ngabantu abamhlophe abanokuba nenjongo entle, okanye ubuhlanga. Bazilawula nganye nganye ukufumana ibhalansi apho yonke into abayithethayo inokuthathwa nangayiphi na indlela, ikushiye ungazinzanga kwaphela xa bekwisikrini.
Ukuba uyazi u-Allison Williams kuphela Amantombazana , Zilungiselele ukubona lonke icala lakhe njengoko ebonisa ukudibanisa okuqaqambileyo wobumnandi, uburharha, kunye nentsimbi engalindelekanga njengoRose. UBetty Gabriel njengoGeorgina, isicakakazi seArmitage, sibuhlungu kakhulu kuyo yonke ifilimu. Kwaye iLil Rel Howery eyonwabisayo njengomhlobo osenyongweni kaChris, uRod, ubonelela ngesiqabu esimangalisayo ngelixa ikwasisithuthi ekubonwa ngaso ezinye zezona zinto zinomdla.
Esinye isikhalazo sam esincinci malunga nefilimu sikunye nomlingiswa kaJeremy, umntakwaboRose, odlalwa nguCaleb Landry Jones. Khange ndikwazi ukugqiba ukuba ingaba lo ngumcimbi weqonga, umbandela wokubhala, okanye umba oyalelayo (mhlawumbi indibaniselwano yazo zontathu), kodwa uJeremy ngoyena mntu uphantsi kwifilimu, kwaye ndicinga ukuba amanye amabali abalisa ngenxa yokuba yiyo.
Phuma izakuba yenye yezo bhanyabhanya abantu abaza kuthetha ngazo kwiminyaka ukusukela ngoku njengexabiso elibalulekileyo lamaxesha ethu. Kububukrelekrele kwaye ayipheleli malunga nemiba yobuhlanga, inika inkcazo efuneka kakhulu kumlilo wokulahla inkunkuma yezopolitiko yanamhlanje, nanjengoko isebenza ngaphezulu njengomphathi ofanelekileyo, owenziwe kakuhle. Ndingacebisa ukuba ndiyijonge xa isiza kumabala emidlalo kule mpelaveki. Phuma kanye kanye yimincili esiyifunayo ngoku.
Phuma ivulwa ngolwesiHlanu, kuFebruwari 24.
