Ukuba uyawuthanda umdlalo weqonga, kusenokwenzeka oko Ibali laseNtshona yinxalenye enkulu yolo thando. Ukuba uyawuthanda umdlalo weqonga kwaye uyiPuerto Rican (njengam!), Ibali laseNtshona Inokubaluleka ngokukodwa njengelinye lamaxesha okuqala owakha weva umntu ethetha ngePuerto Ricans kakhulu ngaphandle kwekhaya lakho. Ke, bendonwabile kukufumanisa ukuba umboniso we-Broadway odala, owaba yifilimu yeklasikhi, ngoku uyalungiswa kwiscreen.
Kwi-tweet eposwe izolo, umbhali uMark Harris ubhengeze umnxeba wokuphosa okuzayo Ibali laseNtshona remake, eya kutshintshwa ngumyeni kaHarris, umbhali wemidlalo odumileyo uTony Kushner, kwaye ikhokelwe nguSteven Spielberg we20th Century Fox.
Kulungile, masikhuphe inkcaso edolweni: Sifuna amanye amabali okuqala, hayi ukubuyisa! Kutheni usenza le movie kwakhona? Yayigqibelele!
Ukuya kwindawo yokuqala, Ndiza kuhlala ndibathumela abantu kule nto , ngoku nangonaphakade. Mane ubeke endaweni yemizekelo ye-geeky sci-fi kunye neereferensi zomculo ezibonisa ngokulinganayo, kwaye amanqaku afanayo ayasebenza. Ukuya kwindawo yesibini… hayi. Ibiyi hayi ugqibelele.
Ndiyayithanda imovie yoqobo kakhulu . Ndandinxiba eso sandi njengomntwana. Kodwa inyani iya kuhlala kukuba uNatalie Wood (uMaria), umdlali waseRussia / wase-Ukranian waseMelika wayedlala inkokheli yasePuerto Rican. UGeorge Chakiris (uBernardo), waseMelika oyinzalelwane yamaGrike, wayedlala indima ePuerto Rican. Ndiyabulela kuThixo ngoRita Moreno njengoAnita! Xa ndandingumntwana ndibukele le bhanyabhanya kaninzi, wabonelela ngesiseko esikhanyayo sePuerto Rican eyiyo ukuba ndibambelele kuyo yonke le filimu. Kwaye masibe yinyani, uAnita yeyona nto ipholileyo, nenendima ngakumbi yabasetyhini indima.
Ngoku, umculo wokuqala wadalwa ngu-Arthur Laurents, uJerome Robbins, uLeonard Bernstein, noStephen Sondheim - onke amhlophe, amakhwenkwe angamaJuda. Ke, ayisiyiyo ukuba eli bali lasePuerto Rican ngaloo ndlela. Ngapha koko, umculo wawuza kubakho Ibali laseMpuma , kwaye yayiza kuba luvavanyo lwe-anti-semitism ngokusebenzisa ungquzulwano (kunye nebali lothando elingavumelekanga) phakathi kweNtsapho yama-Katolika yaseIreland kunye nosapho lwamaJuda ngexesha lePasika / iPasika kwiZantsi leMpuma yeNew York City.
Nangona kunjalo, nje ukuba iqela liyilahle le nguqulo kwaye lahlangana eLos Angeles kwiminyaka eliqela kamva, xa amaqela emigulukudu kunye nolwaphulo mthetho lwabantwana babekhona kuzo zonke iindaba ngeminyaka yoo-1950, uBernstein weza nebali leendaba kutshanje malunga neqela lemigulukudu laseMexico elalisemfazweni kwaye lacebisa ukuba ungquzulwano kumculo wabo lunokuba phakathi kweqela elimhlophe kunye neqela laseMexico, elibekwe eLa Laurents, njengeNew Yorker, laziva likhululekile xa libhala malunga neNew York, kwaye laziva linolwazi ngakumbi malunga noluntu lwasePuerto Rican apho kunokuba lwenzayo ngeMexico. Uluntu lwase-LA Elinye yimbali yeqonga lomculo.
Into endiyibulelayo ngayo yonke le nto, ngaphandle kweli qela labantu bangengabo abesiLatinx bebhala ibali malunga noluntu ekungeyonxalenye yalo, namhlanje enokubonakala ifanelekile, kukuba bebeyenza konke . Ukuba bona into ukubhala malunga nabantu basePuerto Ricans ngexesha apho bambalwa kakhulu, ukuba bakho ababhali bezomculo, ifilimu, okanye iTV, ababebhala ngePuerto Ricans. Ngokuqinisekileyo babengenzi abalinganiswa basePuerto Rican kukhokelela zamabali.
Eyona nto ikwindawo enkulu kutheni, xa ixesha lokuphosa lafika, babembalwa kakhulu ibhanki Abantu basePuerto Rico bathathe ezi ndima. Kungenxa yeso sizathu sokuba, kumculo wokuqala kwi-Broadway, u-Anita wayedlalwa yimbali yomculo wasePuerto Rican, uChita Rivera, kodwa uMaria wadlalwa nguCarol Lawrence, umdlali weqonga waseMelika oyinzalelwane yase-Italiya. Kungenxa yoko le nto uMoreno edlala uAnita kwifilimu, kodwa uWood wadlala uMaria.
Sesona sizathu sokuba kungabikho zinkwenkwezi zibhengekayo zivela kumaqela aliqela ahlelelekileyo namhlanje, kwaye kutheni kufuneka kwenziwe iinzame ezihlanganisiweyo. Ukwenza imathiriyeli kudala ibango kwabo badlali. Ukuqesha abo badlali ngokuqhubekayo kudala iinkwenkwezi ezinokubhengezwa phakathi kwabo.
Abazange babhale kuphela malunga nePuerto Ricans, kodwa bakwenza oko ngentlonipho nangesidima. Ibali laseNtshona ayenzelwanga ukuba ukhethe amacala, kwaye abantu basePuerto Ricans abancitshiswanga ukwenza abantwana abamhlophe babonakale belungile. Icala ngalinye linabantu abalungileyo kunye nabantu abangalunganga kulo, kwaye bonke abantwana bazama nje ukufikelela ngelixa babanjwe yimikhosi, emikhulu kakhulu kunabo. Abalinganiswa basePuerto Rican babeyinxalenye yalonto, kwaye no-Bernardo, onokubonakala ngathi ngowona ugcwele-we-machismo-bullshit douchenozzle, upeyintiwe ngovelwano. Usenokungavumelani naye ngalo lonke ixesha, kodwa wena qonda . Ubuhlanga kunye nokunyaniseka kuyinyani, abantwana, kwaye uBernardo uyazi kakuhle.
Ukuphosa ecaleni, kukho enye into ebonakala kum njengengagqibekanga. Indlela yeqonga lomculo kunye nesakhelo sefilimu ePuerto Ricans njengabafuduki.
Xa ndandisengumntwana, ingoma yaseMelika yayihlala indibhidisa. Ndiyathetha, bendiwuqonda umva naphambili phakathi kwamakhwenkwe namantombazana (amakhwenkwe ebekhumbula ekhaya, amantombazana ebelungele ukudlulela phambili), kodwa ndiyakhumbula ndizibuza, Kodwa… ayisiyiPuerto Rico iMelika nayo?
Utata wafika eNew York nosapho lwakhe xa wayeneminyaka emalunga nesithoba malunga no-1944. Umama weza kamva, ekwiminyaka yamashumi amabini anambini, ngeminyaka yoo-1950. Abazali bam babeze eNew York bevela ePuerto Rico ngendlela abalinganiswa Ibali laseNtshona wenza, kwaye ndihlala ndisithi ngothando ndikhuliswe ngu Ibali laseNtshona Abantu basePuerto Ricans kuba ndakhuliswa ngabantu kolo liza lokufika.
Nangona kunjalo, nasebuntwaneni ndandiqonda ukuba iPuerto Rico yayingumbutho oqhelekileyo. Igama elithi commonwealth lelinye lamagama amakhulu kwisigama sam kwangethuba. Ndisazi ukuba abazali bam babengabemi baseMelika ubomi babo bonke. Ke ngoko, nangaliphi na ixesha isikolo sam sasiza kubamba izinto ezinje ngemini yenkcubeko ukubhiyozela igalelo labaphambukeli, bendisoloko ndiziva ndibhidekile.
Kuba ewe, abazali bam bathetha iSpanish kwaye babengazalelwanga kwilizwekazi laseMelika… kodwa akusiyo iPuerto Rico America nayo?
Xa ndijonga amazwi eMelika ngoku, andinakukwazi ukuzibamba ndicinga ukuba inani labantu elikhulayo kunye nemali etyalwa nguAnita malunga nefilimu ibangelwe ngqo bubudlelwane basePuerto Rico ku… America. Obu budlelwane phakathi kwekholoniyali kunye nekholoni (kuba inene le nto yinto eqhelekileyo, yile yokuba asinabo ubukumkani) obubangele iimeko kanye aba bantu babefuna ukubaleka. Ukubuliswa kuphela ngobuhlanga kunye nokuthambeka xa befika kwilizwekazi. Ukuphathwa kuphela njengabaphambukeli, ngaphandle kokuba babephethe iipasipoti zase-US.
Kwaye kulele indawo enkulu engaboniyo nkqu nabona bantu bamhlophe baneenjongo ezintle, abadali abangamaJuda abanokucinga ngayo. Kwaye ngelixesha apho umongameli wethu wangoku ephosa iitawuli zamaphepha kumaxhoba enkanyamba asePuerto Rican, aqhubeka nokuba ngabemi kwaye abambe iipasipoti zase-US, yindawo ebonakalayo eyimfama ebalulekileyo yokujongana nayo.
Ndonwabile kakhulu kukuba umnxeba wokuphosa upapashwe ngentla uneLATINA kunye neLATINO kuzo zonke ii-caps kwindima kaMaria, Anita, noBernardo. Oko kundikhokelela ekubeni ndikholelwe ukuba sele beqala kwindawo elungileyo. Kunolunye ulwazi oluncinci olufumanekayo, ke andinalwazi lokuba ngubani omnye onokuba negalelo kumbono wabo koku.
Ngaba ndiyathemba ukuba umbhali wasePuerto Rican uqhotyoshelwe kwenye indawo? Damn ngqo. ULin-Manuel Miranda usenokuba uxakekile, kodwa uthini ngoQuiara Alegría Hudes, umkhululi wenkululeko kumculo wokuqala kaMiranda ophumelele uTony, Ephakamileyo? Bobabini basePuerto Rican KUNYE namaYuda, uMister Spielberg noKushner! Okona kulungileyo kwihlabathi! KANYE ungumfazi! Mqeshe, kwaye uzifumanele i-fer ezintathu!
Kubo bonke ubunzulu, ndiyawuthanda umsebenzi kaKushner, kwaye ukuba ndiyamthemba umntu ukuba angene kubunzima bezopolitiko, ngulaa mfo. Ndiyathemba ukuba yena, uSpielberg, kunye neqela lonke bazokuthatha eli thuba ngenene zibandakanya Abantu basePuerto Ricans ekwenzeni oku ukusuka emhlabeni. Inokulisebenzela ibali ngeendlela ezininzi ezintle nezibalulekileyo.
Ewe le yindawo yemidlalo yeqonga, kwaye indawo yemidlalo yeqonga kulindeleke ukuba ibe khaphukhaphu kwaye ibe mnandi. Ndiza kuphinda ndiyiqwalasele kwakhona ingqalelo kumabanga aphantsi-esikolo kum owayesazi, nanjengomntwana, ukuba into ikhona. Oko, nakulo mculo ndiwuthandayo, kukho into eyayivakala icimile .
Kuba ayisiyiPuerto Rico America, nayo?
