UJordy Cummings uthi: “Ndibhala incwadi egxile koko ndikukholelwayo, ngegalelo elivela kubantu abaninzi, zezona filimu zibalulekileyo ezichasene nemfazwe okanye ezichasene nama impiriyali.” UCummings ngumbhali osekwe eKhanada odibanisa ngaphandle komthungo inkcubeko yepop kunye nethiyori yezopolitiko kumanqaku akhe, izincoko, kunye “nePolemics ezinyulu,” ibhlog edumileyo asandul’ ukuyivuselela.

“Kukho iincwadi ezimbalwa ezikhutshiweyo kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo zithetha ngeefilimu ezinenkqubela-phambili – iincwadi zikaPaul Buhle malunga noLuhlu lwabaNcinci, ezinye ezimbalwa, kodwa akukho nanye egxile ngokukodwa kwiifilimu ezichasene nemfazwe,” uyacacisa.

"Injongo yam kukukhumbuza abathandi befilimu malunga nezopolitiko zabo ezizithandayo kunye neeradicals malunga neefilimu ezintle zokuququzelela, ndiyathemba ukuba kukho umvulo othile."

Ukulandela yi-Q&A emfutshane endiyonwabele noJordy:

MZ: Uwukhulise njani umdla kwiifilimu ezichasene nemfazwe?

JC: Iipolitiki zam zakhiwe kakhulu yifilimu. Ndandinomfundisi-ntsapho wesayensi yentlalontle kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kwaye wayenephiko lasekhohlo, esikiweyo awasenza kubazalwana abahlanu bakaMarx, uGroucho, uChico, uZeppo, uHarpo… noKarl. NgoLwezihlanu, sasidla ngokubukela into ayikholelwayo, okanye watshoyo, ziifilimu ezibalulekileyo ngokwembali, “uGqr. Strangelove,” “Ummi Kane,” unantoni? Ukusukela ngoko, ukuthanda kwam kube ziipolitiki ezichasene nogunyaziwe, kunye nefilimu, kwaye zihlala zidibana.

MZ: Xa uthetha ngombono “wemiboniso bhanyabhanya echasene nemfazwe,” ngaba ubhekisa kumboniso bhanyabhanya wezopolitiko othe kratya okanye ingaba inobuchule ngakumbi kunoko? Kwixesha "lomothuko kunye noloyiko," ngaba kukho indawo yobuqili be-celluloid?

JC: Kukho iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokujongana nalo mbandela, kodwa inokwenziwa lula ngokwemigaqo yokuba ifilimu enokomeleza “ukholo,” ngokungathi kunjalo, ye-activist echasene nemfazwe, kwaye ubuncinci, iguqule i-pro. -iintlobo zemfazwe ngeenxa zonke, kwaye ukhuthaze abo basecingweni ukuba babe ngabadlali bembali.

Njengoko uphawula nangona kunjalo, kwiminyaka "yomothuko kunye noloyiko," oko ngokwenene kukwandiswa kwento uGuy Debord ayibiza ngokuba "umboniso," indlela yokuvelisa okomfuziselo (njengecala, ndincoma incwadi ngeqela elithi "Retort"

ebizwa ngokuba "Amandla Abandezelekileyo" malunga nendlela imifanekiso elawula ngayo ukuqonda kwethu malunga

imfazwe) - yonke into emacaleni ayo nayiphi na imfazwe eqhubekayo emhlabeni ngoku, ukusuka kumaSilamsi ukuya kumaMerika ukuya kumaqela alwayo naphi na apho, ibonwe kwimuvi, kwaye iphinda yenziwe, nokuba uyazi okanye hayi. Kwaye oku kunabela kwintshukumo echasene nemfazwe, ebambeke kakhulu ekulinganiseni iminyaka yamashumi amathandathu, kunye neyama-XNUMX yaseMelika ngelo xesha. Umntu unokuxoxa ngelithi yonke into esiyenzayo ilinganisa, ukusa kumkhamo othile, ubuncinci bethu kuMntla Merika.

MZ: Thetha nomndilili wakho ohamba bhanyabhanya waseMelika malunga nomdlalo ochasene nemfazwe kwaye kusenokwenzeka ukuba uve igama likaMichael Moore likhankanywa.

JC: Ndicinge ukuba "iFahrenheit 911," ngaphandle kweziphene zayo (ubukhulu becala ngokubhekiselele kuye nabani na-kodwa-Bush) yayikrelekrele kwaye ibalulekile i-agit-prop, hayi ngenxa yokuba yomeleza ukholo lwam okanye olwakho, kodwa ngenxa yokuba yayidumile kwaye ixelwa ubuncinci inyani. Kwangaxeshanye, ndikhumbula ukuba kukho ukugxekwa okushushu kwe-F911 komnye wabaculi befilimu endibathandayo, uJean Luc Goddard ngelo xesha iifilimu zabo ezichasene nemfazwe zazidlala eCannes kunyaka ophelileyo. Ke ngamanye amaxesha ubuqili, njengakwimisebenzi ephezulu kaGoddard, ayithatheli ngqalelo ukungxamiseka komyalezo, kodwa amagcisa anendawo yawo. Umntu wayengenakuyibona i-“Notre Musique” kwi-Multiplex nokuba idlala khona. Emehlweni ethu, uGoddard okhulele kwifilimu noir kunye noSam Fuller - iifilimu zaseMelika - kubonakala ngathi "ubugcisa" ngoko ke kufuneka yahlulwe "kwiNdlu yoBugcisa" ubukhulu becala kwiiMetropolises eziselunxwemeni, kwaye nabalandeli bakhe bathanda ngolo hlobo. . Ke iminyaka yomboniso, wothuso kunye noloyiko, "lwezibhombu phezu kweBagdhad" njengoko u-Outkast waculayo ngobuchule, phantse iyayigatya imbono yomyalezo ochuliweyo. Kwelinye icala, uninzi lweefilimu zaseHollywood ziye zangena kwiimfazwe ezimbalwa ezichasene nemfazwe, nakwizicwangciso ezichasene nama impiriyali, ngobuchule kodwa hayi njengeyona ngongoma iphambili kwibali labo. Ndicinga ngesiqendu samva nje se-Star Wars, okanye iifilimu ezimbalwa zokugqibela ze-Spielberg.

MZ: Kwabo bangayaziyo, sixelele nge “Notre Musique.”

JC: Ifilimu kaGoddard ethi "Notre Musique," isemi-documentary, kunye noGoddard (engafaniyo noMoore, eneneni) edlala indima ebalulekileyo njengaye, eyenzeka eSarajevo kwiminyaka elishumi emva kongqingo apho, egxile kuhlaselo lwabantu lwemfazwe, ngakumbi. ubunzima basePalestina, kunye nembongi yabo enkulu yesizwe uMahmoud Darwish ukuba neencoko ezichukumisayo kunye nabasetyhini bakwaSirayeli, umzekelo. Ikwagxininise kwinto endichukumisayo, malunga nendlela imifanekiso ebulawula ngayo ubomi bethu kunye nendlela enokuthi ibhukuqwe ngayo. Yonke into ethethiweyo, yayinobuqili ngakumbi kunefilimu kaMoore, ethi uGoddard yayichasene, mhlawumbi yayiyingqiqo, kodwa kwabanye yayingekho.

"I-Notre Musique" iqaqambile kodwa ikrwela kuphela umphezulu we-JLG. Ithiyori yodumo olukhulu, uGoddard wenze iifilimu ezibukhali ngakumbi, kuyo yonke intsingiselo yegama kunaye nabani na. Ndicinga ukuba ngaphandle kwemiboniso bhanyabhanya, ngakumbi kufuneka kwaziwe malunga nabenzi befilimu abakhulu baseYurophu abanjengoGoddard, Vischonti, Pontecervo, okanye Passolini.

MZ: Ewe, ngenxa yokuba ifilimu isebenzisa imfazwe njengemvelaphi ayithethi ukuba inethemba lokwenza ingxelo yezopolitiko.

JC: Umntu unokufunda eyakhe ipolitiki kuyo nantoni na, njengeblothi yeRorschach. Kodwa ngokwenene "umsebenzi wokulwa nemfazwe" akufanele ujongwe kwaye uthathwe njengaloo nto, kodwa ukuhlelwa njengenkunzi I-anti-war kufuneka iqinise ukholo kwaye iguqule abangakholwayo, njengoko nditshilo. Ngoko ke, sinokuthetha ngeefilimu ezifana ne "Platoon" okanye enye yezinto endizithandayo "I-Cross of Iron" ebonisa ubomi bamajoni emacaleni alahlekileyo esilwela "ababi" njengokuba kunjalo, okanye sinokuthetha ngeefilimu ezifana ne "Iza". Ikhaya” okanye “Amadoda” malunga namagqala. Singathetha nangefilimu noir – ebhalwe kakhulu ngabasekhohlo – eyaphuma ekuphoxekeni emva kweMfazwe yeHlabathi yesiBini yaseMelika, okanye ifilimu efana “noMqhubi weTeksi” ethetha ngengqondo yegqala laseVietnam.

Kodwa iifilimu ezifana ne "Apocalypse Now" okanye "I-Deer Hunter" nokuba babezimisele ukugxeka iMfazwe yaseVietnam, abazange benze njalo. Owangaphambili wayichaza njengengxwabangxwaba yengqondo apho amajoni anokuthi awise iasidi, kodwa kungekho mxholo wembali. Le yokugqibela ngokuqinisekileyo yayisisizathu, kunye nokuphendula oko, kunye nabasebenzi bayo abamhlophe besilwa neqela elityheli, kwaye uChristopher Walken wanyanzelwa yiVietnamese ephambeneyo ukuba adlale iroulette yaseRussia. Ubuncinci, malunga neNam, "iPlatoon" kunye "neJacket yeMetal egcweleyo" (enokuthi ilingane nayo nayiphi na imfazwe) ayichazi i-imperialism yaseMelika.

MZ: Ingaba incwadi yakho ingaba namabali ahlekisayo afana nalawo endiwathandayo, “Isuphu yedada”?

I-JC: Akukho nto ibonisa ukungabikho kwemfazwe njenge-comedy, kwaye umntu unokuthi i-Marxists - abalandeli bakaMarx Brothers - banemizekelo emininzi, ngokukodwa kwi-"Duck Soup" - ye-American / machismo absurdity kunye ne-stereotypes. "Isuphu yeDada" yenye yeefilimu endizicwangcise ukuba necandelo elide, njengamanye ama-comedies, ukusuka kwi "Mouse egqumayo" ukuya "kubhuqa inja" ukuya kwi "MASH" kwifilimu enkulu yase-Argentina "Funny, Dirty Little War. .” Kananjalo, ndiceba ukuba ne-capsule emfutshane "uphononongo / amacandelo kwiindidi ezahlukeneyo zokulwa nemfazwe.

Njengecala, kukho umngcipheko ngomdlalo ohlekisayo wokuba abantu bathathe umyalezo ochaseneyo njengento eboniswayo. NjengoTrey Parker/Matt Stone (wodumo “lwePaki yaseMzantsi”, ebhiyozelwa ngabagcini bemithetho abayithatha njengexabiso lobuso) iifilimu, ngakumbi “iQela laseMelika.” Lo ngumdlalo ohlekisayo omkhulu, apho i-American Imperialism ihlaziywa, ivuthela iLouvre kunye nazo zonke, ngeli xesha "uthungelwano" olumangalisayo lukaDavid Horowitz luboniswa - uKim Jong Il, uBarbara Streisand kunye no-Alec Baldwin, uMichael Moore njengomqhushumbisi ozibulalayo. Ukanti abaphulaphuli batyekele ekuyithatheni ingqalelo ngokupheleleyo loo nxalenye yefilimu. Ndiyifunde njengento echasene nemfazwe, kodwa inokuba ngenye indlela, andiqinisekanga.

MZ: Yeyiphi indima enokudlalwa umboniso bhanyabhanya ekudaleni uluntu olunobulungisa?

I-JC: Ukuba ukhangele kwimbali yaseMelika, okanye ngaloo nto imbali yaseSoviet okanye yaseTshayina okanye yaseYurophu, iingxelo ezibaluleke kakhulu zingenziwa kwifilimu, kwaye ndicinga ukuba iyaqhubeka namhlanje. Abantu badla ngokukulungela ukwamkela imiyalezo eqatha evela kwifilimu edumileyo kunoncwadi oludumileyo. Ngelishwa, asizibonanga iingxelo ezigxekayo ngokwaneleyo - ngaphandle kokuba zigqunywe ngomzekeliso kwaye kunzima ukuziqonda - malunga nempiriyalizim yangoku, kodwa sibona uStephen Bochco esenza uthotho lweTV malunga “nokugrumba” e-Iraq, kucaca ukuba akukho meko. Ngethemba ukuba iHollywood, kunye nehlabathi liza kuqala ukwenza iifilimu ezinzulu malunga noBukhosi, kwaye ndingathanda ukucinga ukuba mhlawumbi ndinokuba nefuthe.
