Night Shyamalan ndimphongo wothamanga kwambiri ndipo waphonya kotero kuti ndizosatheka kumvetsetsa dziko lomwe mafilimu ake sangapangitse nkhondo yapadziko lonse lapansi. Makamaka chifukwa chakuti Shyamalan amaliza makanema ake ndi zazikulu Twilight Zone ngati zopindika, mnyamatayo amayikidwa pamzere wamoto kuposa ayi. Chifukwa chake, kanema wake waposachedwa, yemwe mwa iye yekha ndi chidutswa chobadwa bwino, ali pansi pamoto. Koma panthawiyi, monga nthawi yapachizunzo Dona M'madzi ndi Zomwe Zikuchitika, kodi mthunzi ukuyenera?

Kanema waposachedwa wa Shyamalan, Old ndi wolimba mtima, wopatuka pachikhalidwe chomwe chimaphatikizira zonse zachilengedwe komanso zowopsa zonse zomwe zimaphulika ngati sizikhala zosakanikirana nthawi zina.

Old chimazungulira mabanja omwe anali patchuthi omwe anali ndi mwayi wopambana matikiti akuluakulu opita kumalo opumulirako. Malo opumulirako ali ndi malo omwe mungafune kupitako tchuthi chabwino. Potsirizira pake, mabanja ena amasankhidwa kuti aziyenda mbali ya chilumbacho. Malo abwino omwe sakudziwika ndi alendo ambiri. Kukumbukira kwakukulu ndi kukongola kulonjezedwa kubanja lonse. Pali zambiri zomwe zimawonetseratu bwino zomwe zimafotokozedweratu pazokambirana m'mafilimu oyamba. Makhalidwe monga mtsikana yemwe ali ndi vuto la calcium kapena mawonekedwe owululidwa kuti ali ndi chotupa chochepa onse awululidwa apa. Shyamalan amachita ntchito yabwino yolumikiza madontho onse mufilimuyi kuti akhale ndi mphindi zabwino pambuyo pake mufilimuyi yomwe imafanana ndi zoopsa zazikulu, ma goofines akulu kapena mphindi zochokera pansi pamtima komanso zosangalatsa.

Banja likangofika pamalo opumulirako tulo, limangotengedwa ndi vista wanzeru kwambiri. Omvera ali pafupi kugonja mu bata ndikumverera kwachitetezo chabodza pamodzi ndi mabanja awa. Komabe, pofika nthawi ino, kwachedwa kale kuti banja la tchuthi ndi omvera. Nthawi zabwino zatsala pang'ono kutha ndikukwera misala, ndiye pafupifupi Shyamalan yemwe sanakhalepo Shyamalaned. Mavuto ozungulirawa akuwonetsedwa mu kamera yomwe kale idakhala chete ku kamera yoyenda bwino kwambiri ndikukhala kamera ya tchuthi ya 8mm yabanja. Kuyika mwamphamvu kumanzere kumanja ndi kumanja ndikusanja mosasamala. Kutseka kwazithunzi kotchulidwa ndi otchulidwa kuli pafupi kwambiri kuti kutonthozedwe. Chilichonse cinematically chimachita mantha.

Ndipafupifupi nthawi yomwe tsoka limakumana ndipo mabanja azindikira kuti sangathe kuchoka pachilumbachi. Aliyense amene amataya tayala amakumana ndikumverera kukakamizidwa pamutu pake zomwe zimawapangitsa kugonja nthawi yomweyo. Mayendedwe onse kapena chiyembekezo sizimalekezera magulu omwe akuchita mantha tsopano. Kuyambira pano Shyamalan amasintha chithupsa cha ketulo ndikusintha maguluwo kukhala tizilombo tating'onoting'ono padziko lapansi, ndipo aliyense amaimiridwa. Monga momwe mungayembekezere, anthu satenga nthawi yayitali ndipo amakhala oyipa kwambiri mukamachita mantha. Zambiri monga Stephen King's The Mist, mumatha ndi anthu kutembenuzana wina ndi mnzake pazolinga zawo zolimba. Kwenikweni, mawonekedwe awo enieni amavumbulutsidwa kawiri.

Monga mutu ukuwonetsera, gulu lomwe latsekeredwa limayambanso kukula msanga ndikukula Old mofulumira kwambiri. Kuwerengera mosavuta kuti atha zaka 50 tsiku limodzi.

Zosangalatsa komanso zowopsa mufilimuyi zimachokera kuzinthu zomwe zimapangitsa kuti ziwoneke bwino ndikulingalira zomwe zingachitike pambuyo pake. Mukuwona matupi awo ndipo machitidwe achilengedwe amakhala chilombo cha kanema. M'dziko lomwe limangonena za mawonekedwe ndi opareshoni yapulasitiki yolimbana ndi ukalamba, mukuwonera magulu owopsa kwambiri akufotokozera ... ndipo ndikuphulika kuti muwone. Zomwe zimawonetseratu zomwe ndidatchulazi kale, zimayamba kusewera ndikulowa pagulu m'njira zachilendo komanso zowopsa. Old sakhululuka ndipo samadikirira kuti apume kapena kuloleza kupumula. Ndi sewero lomwe lidayenda mpaka ma 1000 mamaili paola. Mkhalidwe waumunthu umayikidwa mu chopukusira osatsegula.

Pakhala pali mbali yovuta kwambiri pazolemba za Shylaman. Sindinathe kulembetsa ngati omvera akuyenera kuseka zovuta zina m'makanema ake. Pali zachilendo kusewera zomwe zimaphatikizidwa mbali yowopsya yomwe imasiyana kwambiri ndi owongolera ena onse omwe ndimadziwa. Kwa moyo wanga, sindikudziwa ngati ndicholinga chake kapena ayi ndipo mwina sindingadziwe. Koma, kumverera kumeneko kumadzazidwa mokwanira mu Old. Nthawi zina ndimachikonda, ndipo nthawi zina chimanditaya.

Shylaman ndi wojambula makanema akuwombera gehena kunja kwa kanema apa. Old, imawoneka yosangalatsa ndipo imayenda m'njira zatsopano. Kuphatikiza mayendedwe omwe mabanja omwe anali nawo mzaka za m'ma 80 anali ndi makanema awo atchuthi komanso osakhazikika a 8mm, ndichanzeru kwambiri. Amayikanso magalasi azithunzi m'maso mwa ochita sewerowo kuti awulule pang'onopang'ono zosintha zomwe zikuchitika mufilimuyi yonse. Ndizobisika poyamba. Tsitsi lakumera pang'ono pakachisi, chivindikiro cha diso chimatsika pang'ono poyerekeza ndi kuwombera koyambirira. Zotsatira zodzikongoletsera zikusintha kuchokera kuwombera mpaka kuwombera ndikuyamba kuzichita mochenjera kwambiri kotero kuti sindikuganiza kuti omvera angayamikire zonse zomwe dongosolo lazodzipangitsa liyenera kuwonekera. Gulu lodzikongoletsera limaphulika pano ndikugwira ntchito yopambana.

Cholakwika chachikulu mu Old za ine, zimabwera chifukwa chakuti pali chiwonetsero chotsanulira zochitika zonse. Sindinadandaule kumva otchulidwa akuganiza zomwe zimawachitikira kamodzi kapena kawiri, koma kanemayu amakukhudzani kwambiri ndipo samaima. Komanso kutha kwa kanemayu, kudatsitsa kwambiri mphambu zanga. Sindikuganiza kuti idafunikira kutha kwakukulu komwe kumakhalapo. Ndipo ngakhale zitatero, sindikuganiza kuti tidafunikira kuti zifotokozedwe momwe amafotokozera pano. Omvera ndi anzeru ndipo izi zidafotokozedwa momaliza zokambirana pang'ono pang'ono kwa iwo. Ndi yayikulu kwambiri, ndimakonda chinsinsi cha Old… Bwanji kuchotserapo bwinobwino?

Monga makanema onse a Shylaman, izi zitha kugawaniza. Koma, adapangadi china choyambirira chomwe chimayenda ndi mphamvu yokoka ndi kukalamba. Ndizosakhululuka kwathunthu ndipo zimangokweza masewerawa mphindi mphindi. Kuwona ukalamba kukhala chilombo ndi kwanzeru. Komanso, kuphatikiza zoopsa zamthupi ndi zozizwitsa zazachilengedwe zomwe zimabwereranso kulikonse ndizanzeru. Zachidziwikire, mathero ake ndi ochepa kwambiri ndipo amayenera kuti atayidwa ndikumalizidwa kale… koma sizichotsa munthawi yabwino yomwe ndinatsogolera. Old, ndiyofunika kuwonerera m'malo owonetsera pazinthu zazikuluzi ndikuwulula misala nthawi zonse. Palibe chowopsa kuposa kukalamba ndikuiwalika, ndipo Shylaman adakhazikitsa tsamba lake mosamala.
