Ifilimu entsha kaMolly Castelloe ebizwa ngokuthi “Igumbi likaVamik,” yethula umbukeli kuVamik Volkan kanye nokuhlola kwengqondo ngengxabano yamazwe omhlaba.
Umqondo awuyona imfihlakalo njengoba kungenzeka uzwakale. Akukho mqondo wokuthi ukungqubuzana kune-psychology, kepha kunalokho ukuthi labo ababambe iqhaza bakwenze, nokuthi noma ngubani ohlanganyela ekudibanisaneni noma ekwenziweni kokuthula kufanele aqaphele okuvame ukungachazwa futhi kungagunyazwanga nalokho okugqugquzelwayo emaqenjini abandakanyeka ezingxabanweni.
IVolkan igxile ekuzazeni kweqembu elikhulu, iphethini ejwayelekile yabantu ekhomba ngothando ngamaqembu amakhulu - kwesinye isikhathi amakhulu kakhulu - njengobuzwe noma ubuhlanga. Ifilimu ikhuluma ngokudicilelwa phansi kwamanye amaqembu okuvame ukuhambisana nobunikazi beqembu elikhulu. Iphinde igxile, ngokumangalisa ngokwengeziwe, ngokubaluleka kokulila okwabiwe. Ukuthi amaqembu alila ngobani nokuthi kanjani, nokuthi amaqembu amisa izikhumbuzo kuwo, kubaluleke kakhulu embonweni kaVolkan wamaqembu emhlabeni wonke phakathi namakhulu eminyaka (ingasaphathwa eyokuhlaziywa kweBlack Lives Matter ngezithombe ezibekwe endaweni yomphakathi yase-US).
IVolkan inikeza izibonelo eziningi zezimo lapho osomaqhinga bengafinyeleli ndawo ngaphandle kokuqonda ukuhlukumezeka kweqembu labantu. Kwesinye isikhathi ubhekisa “ezinhlekeleleni ezikhethiwe,” yize ngisola ukuthi ubengabizi ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuthi "ukhethiwe" ekuxoxisaneni nabo nabantu abahlukumezekile. Vele, "bakhethiwe", noma ngabe baneqiniso ngokuphelele futhi kubuhlungu. Ukukhetha okufanele uhlale kukho futhi ukukhumbule, okuvame ukudumisa nokuqamba izinganekwane, kungukukhetha.
Ukuthatha isibonelo esisodwa sabaningi kule filimu (futhi kunezinye ezingenakubalwa ezingacatshangwa yinoma ngubani), uVolkan ubalisa ukuthi usebenze nama-Estonia namaRussia futhi ebona ukuthi lapho amaRussia ezocasuka ezingxoxweni zawo nabase-Estonia bazoletha ukuhlasela kweTartar kusukela emakhulwini eminyaka ngaphambili. Esinye isibonelo esivezwe “ukuvuselelwa kabusha” kweSerbia emasikweni ayo, kulandela ukuhlukana kweYugoslavia, kweMpi YaseKosovo eminyakeni engama-600 edlule. Lawa ama-traumas akhethiwe. Zingahanjiswa futhi - yize ifilimu inikeza okuncane kakhulu kusihloko - ngokunqoba okukhethiwe nobukhazikhazi.
Le filimu ixwayisa ngokusetshenziswa kwezinhlekelele ezikhethiwe kwesinye isikhathi ezenziwa ngabaholi abanomusa. Phakathi kwezibonelo ezivelele zabaholi abanomusa uDonald Trump. Ngingancoma ukuthi umbiko eyenziwe ngosuku lokugcina lobumongameli yiKhomishini yakhe ka-1776 yokwenza imodeli yokuwasha (ipun ehlosiwe) nokuqhakanjiswa kokwethusayo okwedlule, namazwi akhe (nalawo wonke omunye umongameli wase-US) ePearl Harbour kanye no-9-11 njengezibonelo zokukhetha ukuhlukumezeka.
Leli yiphuzu lapho abantu bangafuna ukumemeza “kodwa lezo zinto zenzekile!” futhi omunye kungadingeka achaze ukuthi zombili zenzekile futhi zikhethiwe. Umonakalo nokufa okwenziwe ePhilippines kungakapheli amahora amaningi "ePearl Harbor" kwakukukhulu kakhulu, kepha akukhethiwe. Umonakalo nokufa okuvela ku-COVID 19, noma ukudutshulwa kwabantu abaningi, noma ukuzibulala kwamasosha, noma izindawo zokusebenza ezingaphephile, noma ukuwa kwesimo sezulu, noma ukuntuleka komshuwalense wezempilo, noma ukudla okungenamsoco kukhulu kakhulu kunesinye sezinkinga ezinkulu ezikhethiwe (iPearl Harbor no-9-11. ), kepha akukhethiwe.
UVolkan ubeke ukuqonda kwakhe ekusebenzeni esiza abantu ukuthi belaphe ezindaweni emhlabeni wonke. Kusobala kangakanani ukuthi osomaqhinga nabaxoxisana ngokuthula bebonke bafunde kuye kungacaci kangako. Ukuthengiswa kwezikhali nezisekelo zakwamanye amazwe kanye nabathwali bezindiza kanye nama-drones nemicibisholo kanye "namandla akhethekile" kanye nokufudumala konke kuphethwe yi-United States, enikeza obala amanxusa ngokukhankasela "abanikeli," isebenzisa uMnyango Wezwe njengenkampani yezentengiso yokuthengisa izikhali, futhi isekela inqubomgomo yayo yakwamanye amazwe enjabulweni yezakhiwo zezimboni zamasosha. Umuntu uyazibuza ukuthi ngabe yini osomaqhinga abadinga kakhulu ukuqonda okujulile ngezisusa zabantu noma ukufakwa esikhundleni ngabanye abantu empeleni abalahla futhi abanenhloso yokuqeda impi.
Enye indlela yokufeza okunye ukufaka esikhundleni kungaba ukuguqula isiko lase-US, ukunqoba ukuhlukumezeka okukhethiwe nobukhazikhazi ezinganekwaneni zase-US, ukuqeda okwehlukile e-US. Lapha, ifilimu kaVolkan noCastelloe inikeza umkhombandlela othile ngokuhlaziya ubunikazi beqembu elikhulu lase-US.
Kodwa-ke, ifilimu imemezela ukuthi ukuhlukumezeka kuka-9-11 manje sekuyingxenye yalolo lwazi, ngaphandle kokuvuma ukuthi abanye bethu e-United States kumele babekhona ngaphandle kwalo. Abanye bethu bathuswa yizimpi nobudlova nobuphekula obabusakazeka ngezinga elikhulu esikhathini eside ngaphambi nangemva kukaSeptemba 11, 2001. Asizange sikhathazeke kakhulu ngokuthi abantu babulawa ngalolo suku endaweni ethile. Sikhomba ubuntu nobuntu buphelele kanye namaqembu amancane ahlukahlukene ngokuqinile kunalokho esikwenza neqembu elikhethwe kuzwelonke elichazwe ubuningi bomuntu wokuqala ezitatimendeni zikahulumeni wase-US.
Yilapho engicabanga ukuthi singakhela khona kulokhu okusitshelwa yile filimu. IVolkan ifuna osomaqhinga ukuthi baqonde futhi bazi futhi baphenye ubunikazi beqembu elikhulu. Ngifuna nabo badlule. Akunakusho ukuthi, ukukuqonda kuyasiza ekukukhanyeni.
Kuyangijabulisa ukuthi ngifunde ngeVolkan kule filimu, futhi ngincoma ukuthi nawe wenze njalo. Nginamahloni ukusho ukuthi bengikholelwa ukuthi iNyuvesi yaseVirginia iphethwe kakhulu yizipikha kanye noprofesa abasebenza ngokulwa nempi kunokuba kwenzeka, njengoba uVamik Volkan engusolwazi ophuma lapho.
