Abalawuli be-doc entsha ngokufana phakathi kweMapplethorpe kunye neMadonna, kwaye kutheni umsebenzi we-photographer we-NY usenamandla othusayo.
“Jonga imifanekiso,” wakhwaza uSenator uJesse Helms, egxeka ubugcisa begcisa laseMelika uRobert Mapplethorpe, ofoto yakhe yatyhala imida ebonisa ubunqunu, isini kunye nobugqi. Umboniso wokugqibela kaMapplethorpe, uMzuzwana oPheleleyo, ozicwangcisileyo njengoko wayesifa ngenxa ye-Aids, wabonakalisa ibhombu yexesha, evuselela imfazwe yenkcubeko esaqhubeka namhlanje.
Ngokungenasiphelo, ukufikelela okungenamkhawulo kwiindawo zakhe zokugcina kunye nomsebenzi, i-Mapplethorpe: Jonga iMifanekiso yenza oko kanye, ethatha ukujonga okungapheliyo, okungazange kubonwe ngaphambili kumsebenzi wakhe oxhokonxayo. Ekuphela kwento eyayicaphukisa ngaphezu kweefoto zikaMapplethorpe yayibubomi bakhe. Wayethe phithi ngumlingo kwaye, ngokukodwa, into awayeyibona njengomlingo wokufota kunye nesondo. Wazisukela zombini ngokuzinikela okunganelisekiyo.
Sithetha nabalawuli uRandy Barbato kunye noFenton Bailey malunga nomculi owahlulayo kunye neenjongo zabo zokwenza i-movie, kunye nekliphu ekhethekileyo efumanekayo ukujonga ngezantsi.
I-Mapplethorpe: Jonga kwiMifanekiso yokuqala ngoMvulo, ngo-Aprili 4 ngo-9pm, kuphela kwi-HBO.
Yintoni eyakukhuthaza ukuba wenze uxwebhu malunga nobugcisa kunye nobomi bukaMapplethorpe ngeli xesha?
Randy Barbato: Ekuqaleni saba neengxoxo kunye ne-HBO, abangabavelisi befilimu, kwaye igama lakhe leza. UFenton kunye nam sasihlala e-NY kwi-80s kwaye sasiqhelene kakhulu neMapplethorpe, kodwa saqonda ukuba sasisazi igama kodwa sasingazi ngokwenene ubugcisa okanye indoda. Waziwa kakhulu ngesigebenga esenzeka kwiminyaka yoo-90s kodwa kuncinci esikwaziyo ngaye ngaphaya koko. Uluhlobo oluvezwe kakhulu kwaye akatyhilwanga. Saqala ke ukwenza uphando saza sathi phithi ngakumbi ngobugcisa kunye nendoda.
Udliwano-ndlebe kunye naye luqaqambile, ubonakala evulekile kwaye ethetha ngokuphandle. Kwaye uthetha izinto ezimangalisayo-inkcazo yakhe yobudlelwane, umzekelo. Ngoobani obenze olo dliwano-ndlebe?
Fenton Bailey: Ezo zivela kwimithombo eyahlukeneyo eyahlukeneyo. Wakhetha abantu ngobuchule kakhulu, waba ngumhlobo wababhali abaninzi kwaye wayefuna ukuba ababhali babhale ngaye. Wayesoloko esenza udliwano-ndlebe! Kwaye sakwazi ukulandelela ezinye zazo. Uninzi lwexesha iitekisi zindala ngokwenene, ezinye zazo zibolile, kodwa sifumene ezimbalwa ezilungileyo ezivela kwimithombo eyahlukeneyo kwaye sizidibanise.
Kwaye kulapho saqaphela: le yindlela esenza ngayo ifilimu. YiJonga kwiMifanekiso, umsebenzi wakhe, kwaye umamele amazwi akhe. Nantso ke! Kuyinto engaqhelekanga ukuba kuninzi okuthethwayo malunga neMapplethorpe kwaye abantu abaninzi baxelele ibali lakhe kwaye ndacinga, kuthekani ngoMapplethorpe ngokwakhe echaza ibali lakhe? Ugqibelele, uthetha ngokumangalisayo. Kwaye uxela nje ngendlela eyiyo. Kwaye ukuba abantu baya kumgweba ngenxa yoko, akakhathali, yonke yinyaniso ye-hashtag.
Le yinkalo ethandekayo kakhulu kubuntu bakhe.
Randy Barbato: Ewe, ngumba othandekayo kwaye ngelishwa abantu abaninzi banokungacingi ngolo hlobo. Kukho abantu abacinga ukuba, i-OMG, indlela eyoyikeka ngayo, ubonakala ezingca, ekhohlisayo, enebhongo.
Njengamagcisa amaninzi, eneneni!
Randy Barbato: Ewe, ngokuchanekileyo!
Fenton Bailey: Ngokuchanekileyo, kodwa uninzi lwamagcisa aluvumi kuba lucinga ukuba luya kulimaza amathuba abo. Okanye ukuba abantu baya kubagweba kakubi. Kodwa uMapplethorpe wayivuma loo nto. Ngoko ifilimu imalunga naye kodwa yindlela yokukhokela kuba iMapplethorpe yayivuleleke kakhulu, wayekhuphisana kakhulu, kodwa wayengazigcini iimfihlo zakhe. Wayesithi, ‘Le yindlela eniyenza ngayo.’ Kukho uvimba omkhulu esiwufumeneyo apho athatha khona igcisa eliselula laseDatshi, uPeter Klasvost, elimfotayo. Ngoko uthatha umfanekiso wakhe, ambonise umsebenzi wakhe. Uyabona, uMapplethorpe wayefuna abanye baphumelele.
“Madonna ngakumbi. Ndicinga ukuba zifana kakhulu: i-Catholic factor, ukusuka kudidi oluphakathi, ukuzinikela kwabo ekusebenzeni, i-Blonde Ambition, usebenzisa inkangeleko yakho ukuze ufumane oko ufunayo, ukuqhubela phambili ekusebenzisaneni nabanye abantu ukufumana into oyifunayo, ungabi nazintloni. malunga nomnqweno wakho. Ndicinga ukuba ziyafana kakhulu” – uFenton Bailey
