Yolembedwa ndi Patti Pauley

M'chaka chaulemerero cha 1976. ma cinephiles amtundu wowopsya adachitidwa ndi mafilimu okongola omwe amakhalabe owopsya mpaka lero. Kunena panokha, ndizosautsa kuvomereza kuti ena mwa akalewa adakwanitsa zaka 40 chaka chino! Kapena atha kungokhala wolumala wakale mwa ine akuyankhula pamene ndikusangalala ndi chikwama changa cha maswiti a orange circus chiponde. Eya, mwina ndi zimenezo.

Mulimonsemo, miyala yamtengo wapatali yokondwerera kubadwa kwawo kwa 40 mu 2016 ikuphatikiza Carrie, The Omen, Alice, Sweet Alice, ndipo munthu sangayiwala kubwerera kwa filimu yoyambirira ya chilombo- champhamvu mfumu Kong. Kukonzanso kochokera mu nthano yakale ya 1933 ya Chiphadzuwa ndi chimbalangondo motsogozedwa ndi John Guillermin ndi Dino De Laurentiis monga Wopanga, adalimbikitsa kukonda kwanga chikhalidwe cha kanema wa chilombo ngati mwana wamng'ono; Ndimakumbukiranso kuwona bukuli lisanayambike. Ndipo ndikukumbukira kuti zimandiwopseza moyo wanga. Ngakhale maziko a nkhaniyo amakhalabe ofanana, ndi kusiyana pang'ono apa ndi apo kuti athe kulandira omvera amakono, chinthu chimodzi chinali chosiyana kwambiri. Ndipo kuti abwenzi anga, zinali kuti King Kong anali wowopsa motsatizana pomwe amafunikira kukhala. Zomwe zimapangitsa mtundu wamakanema awa, omwe ndimakonda kwambiri makanema onse aku Kong. Zikuonekanso kuti ndi Baibulo limene silimakondedwa kwambiri, choncho tiyeni tikambirane za filimu yokongolayi.

Kanemayu akuyamba ku Surabaya ndi Fred Wilson, wamkulu waumbombo wa Petrox Oil Company adasewera bwino kwambiri ndi Charles Grodin, yemwe amapita ku chilumba chosadziwika bwino kukasaka mafuta osagwiritsidwa ntchito ku Indian Ocean. Potsala pang'ono kupita ku ulendo wosadziwika, katswiri wa mbiri yakale a primate Jack Prescott woimiridwa ndi Jeff Bridges ndi ndevu aliyense wodula matabwa angasiyire, amazembera m'sitimayo pamene chilumba chodabwitsachi chikupeza chidwi ndi chidwi cha hippie ya sayansi.

Ali m'njira yopita kumalo osadziwika bwino, Prescott amawona bwato lomwe lili ndi kukongola kodabwitsa kosadziwika - ndikulowetsa Jessica Lange wodabwitsa pachiwonetsero chake chachikulu. Lange akuwonetsa Dwan (ayi, mukuwerenga kumanja) wokonda zisudzo komanso munthu yekhayo yemwe adapulumuka pakuphulika kwa boti komwe adayenera kupanga filimu yake yoyamba. Dwan, ndithudi kukongola kwa chilombo cha filimuyi ndipo momveka bwino ali ndi chilakolako chofuna Jack. Kwa ine, Bridges ndi Lange amawunikira zowunikira pawindo, ndipo chemistry imangowoneka ngati yachilengedwe. Kunena zomveka, ndikulankhula molunjika ku kusinthana pakati pa awiri omwe ali m'sitimayo Dwan asanagwidwe. Tsopano ndiyenera kuyankha, ndamva anthu akutchula Lange paudindowu ngati munthu wongoyerekeza ndi luso lokopa la A. Komabe khalidwe lake, zolinga zake, ndi mapeto ake kumapeto kwa filimuyi zimatsimikizira kuti mtsikana ali wochenjera bwanji; ngakhale zili ndi cholinga chonyenga ndipo zifotokozanso izi mpaka pano.

Kutumiza mwachangu komwe Dwan adabedwa, kumwa mankhwala osokoneza bongo, ndikuperekedwa kwa King Kong wamphamvu. Pamene Kong akutulukira m'mitengo kuti akatenge mphoto yake, simungachitire mwina koma kukuwa mukamuyang'ana koyamba. Inde ndikudziwa. Ndi mnyamata chabe wovala suti ya anyani. Komabe, pokumbukira zamatsenga azaka za m'ma 70, ndizokongola kwambiri. Ndimangokonda mawu osiyanasiyana ochokera mu kapu ya animatronic Kong. Ndipo zina zinali zoopsa kwambiri. Moona mtima, ndimakumbukira kuti ndimachita mantha kwambiri ndi Kong uyu pomwe anali wokwiya ali mwana. Mosiyana kwambiri ndi mtundu wa 1933, Kong uyu sanali wovuta. Iye analidi wanzeru, wokwiya pang'ono, ndipo mwamtheradi anali ndi magulu owopsa a chompers.

Moyenera, zina mwazithunzi zabwino kwambiri mufilimuyi zili pakati pa Kong ndi Dwan m'nkhalango. Zochitika zomwe Dwan akumenya Kong kukamwa kukuwa kuti amudye ndikumutsamwitsa ndi zinthu zachikale. Kong amamupatsa mawonekedwe, "Ummm... Pepani hule?"  Kenako Dwan adayatsa chithumwacho mwachangu, pofotokoza kuti ndi Libra komanso wokwiya. Amandisokoneza nthawi zonse. Nthawi zina zimakhalanso zopirira kwambiri. Kong akusambitsa Lange mu mathithi, kenako kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu yake ya m'mapapo kumuwumitsa.

Zosangalatsa.

Pakadali pano, Wilson, Prescott, ndi ogwira ntchito akuyendayenda pachilumbachi. Prescott pofunafuna Dwan, komanso mpira wowombera Wilson akukonza njira yoti agwire 'chodabwitsa chachisanu ndi chitatu cha dziko lapansi' atamva za kukhalapo kwa nyani wamkuluyo. Zachidziwikire kuti Dwan amapulumutsidwa ndi Jack ndi Kong, atakwiyitsidwa ndi zomwe zidachitikazi, amathamangitsa awiriwa mpaka mumsampha wa Wilson. Maso a Grodin akuthwanima ndi tsogolo la chuma chomwe angapange ndi zomwe apezazi, adanyamuka ulendo wapamadzi wopita ku New York City ndi Kong.

Tsopano, mukukumbukira zomwe ndinanena za Dwan kukhala galu wonyenga? Wosewera wa wannabe safuna china chilichonse padziko lapansi pano kuposa kukhala katswiri wamakanema wochita bwino, motero amagulitsa Kong kwa kuvomera kugwiritsa ntchito Kong kutchuka ndi mwayi. Amadziwa chomuchitikira Chisumbu cha Chibade ndi tikiti yake kuti ayambe kutchuka, ndipo ali m'ngalawa yobwerera ku America Dwan akudzitamandira kwa chilombo chotsekeredwa mkati mwa doko la ngalawa yomwe inamuteteza m'nkhalango, ngakhale kuti anakwiya kwambiri. "adzakhala nyenyezi!" 

Chabwino, ife tonse tikudziwa momwe izo zimachitikira tsopano sichoncho ife. Prescott, atakhumudwitsidwa ndi zolinga za Wilson komanso kufunitsitsa kwa Dwan kutsatira izi "grotesque farce"Momwe akunenera, amawona mochititsa mantha pamene kuwululidwa kwakukulu kwa Kong ku New York kusanduka chiwonetsero chachikulu. Dwan wodzikweza akukankhidwa mozungulira ndi atolankhani kutsogolo kwa nyani wokwiya kale, amakwiyitsa Kong kuti athyole unyolo wake ndi khola zomwe zimapangitsa chisokonezo; ndi imfa yadzidzidzi ya Wilson ndi stomp ya Kong.

Muyenera kukonda loboti yoyipa ya King!

Kong, akubwezeranso mphotho yake ku World Trade Center kuti atonthozedwe. Koma, tonse tikudziwa mathero omvetsa chisoni apa sichoncho? Pamene Kong akuwukiridwa pamwamba pa Twin Towers, Prescott akuyang'ana mowopsya pamene akufuula kuti achitire chifundo Mfumu yosokonezeka ya Chibade Island. Kong akumenya nkhondo yochititsa chidwi yolimbana ndi kuwukira kwa mpweya, kuteteza Dwan wokangalika panthawiyi. Komabe, Kong akukumana ndi kufa kwake ndikugwa mpaka kufa. Ndiko kuti, pokhapokha ngati mukufuna kuvomereza sequel yomwe idabwera zaka khumi pambuyo pake King Kong Moyo; koma ndikuganiza kuti ndibwino kuti tipewe mutu waching'alang'ala womwe filimuyo inandipatsa ndikuyiwala za izo zonse pamodzi.

Monga Kong ali wopanda moyo m'misewu ya New York, Dwan wowoneka wokhumudwa amapezeka atazunguliridwa ndi paparazzi. Amayang'ana mozungulira Jack, koma chikondi chake sichikuwoneka. Prescott akuwoneka kuti akudwala ndi debacle, wasiya Dwan ku mimbulu ya atolankhani. Mwanjira ina, "Wayala bedi lako wokondedwa, tsopano ugone momwemo."  

Dwan adapeza kutchuka kwake, koma pamtengo wanji? Pamene akuzindikira bwino zomwe adasankha pakugulitsa Kong chifukwa chodziwika bwino, komanso kusiya kukonda dola yamphamvu yonse, amasiyidwa yekha ndi oteteza onse awiri. M’Baibulo loyambirira la 1933, tatsala ndi mawu ochititsa mantha akuti “Kukongola kunaphadi chilombocho.” Apa, zodziwikiratu siziyenera kunenedwa. Kanemayo amakusiyani movutikira, ndipo imagwira ntchito ngati Nthano ya Aesop: Ngati mukufuna kusiya zonse zomwe mumakhulupirira kuti mukhale otchuka komanso olemera, konzekerani kukolola zomwe mwafesa.

Dino de Laurentiis mfumu Kong sizingakhale zokondedwa ndi aliyense, koma ziyenera kuyamikiridwa chifukwa cha zomwe zili. Kanema wabwino kwambiri, wovuta nthawi zina, wamatsenga amakusiyani ndi chakudya choganiza pamapeto. Ngati kwatentha mphindi imodzi kuchokera pomwe mudawonera komaliza, ndikupangira kuti mubwererenso kuti mukawonenso filimuyi ya ku Kong yocheperako.
