Ku-Daisuke Obana, umklami wase-Japan welebula yamadoda i-N.Hoolywood, ukuhlolwa kwe-America's failed Prohibition ngeminyaka yawo-1920s kanye nokushwibeka kwayo kwenkohlakalo, ubuhlakani, kanye nodlame kwabonakala kuyitimu ecebile nenekhanda ukuthi ingadluliswa. Washo okuningi ngemva kwalokho, esebenzisa umhumushi. Ngaphambili, kumanothi ombukiso, ukhulume ngama-bootlegger, ama-speakeasies, ukukhanya kwenyanga, kanye ne-Mafia.
Isandulelo esilayishiwe sithumele ingqondo ukuthi iskrole kuma-clichés. Yini engase igcinwe? Isimo sokugetshengwa esinamamodeli aphindeka kabili njenge-Al Capone? Noma ulingisa ama-Bugs Moran (okucatshangwa ukuthi ungumgqoki ongcono) ogqoke amasudi e-zoot abukhali nama-fedora, udlala indima yokudubulana nomenzeli we-FBI u-Eliot Ness kanye nozakwabo i-Untouchables? Ukuboleka isibukeli esichithwe kakhulu kwakuyindawo ngokwayo, indawo engaphansi kukakhonkolo emnyama futhi ebandisa amathambo ebhange elidala le-JP Morgan e-23 Wall Street, elinevault enkulu evulekile njengendawo emaphakathi. Ngabe lokhu kuzobe kuwukuhlonipha abaphangi bamabhange namagoodfellas?
Ngokujabulisayo, kwakungeyona into enjalo. U-Obana, uchwepheshe wezingubo zakudala oneso lezinto ezenziwe kahle, wayenombono ocashile, nothambile engqondweni. Abalingiswa bakhe, abanye abanentshebe noma amadevu, babebukeka njengama-haberdasher e-G-riding kunemigulukudu edubulayo. Ayegqoke amajazi amakamela aklanywe kahle, amasudi ampunga axegayo kodwa abukeka kahle aneziqephu ezintathu, futhi—esikisela lezo zigebengu ezazisebenza ezikhumulweni zemikhumbi—amajazi namakepisi enziwe ngovolo. Ngisho nejezi elinezimbambo eliphansi lenze ukubonakala okuningana, njengoba kwenza ama-hybrid scarf-apron hybrid, nawo anezimbambo, abhekiselwe ezintweni ezifanayo ezigqokwa abaphisi botshwala bangaleso sikhathi. Izikhwama zesikhumba ezimnyama zazigqagqene futhi zinezikwele, futhi zazidluliswa phakathi kwamamodeli njengokungathi zihwebelana noma ziqolwa imali. Lawa kwakungukubhonga okwakuthanjisiwe futhi, singalokotha sithi, kungcolile.
Ngemuva kombukiso, u-Obana ukhulume ngentshisekelo yakhe kumasudi anamabele amabili asendulo futhi ezama ukuwabuyekeza ngezindwangu ezilula. Ngaphezu kwanoma yini wabonakala gobsmacked ukuthi Prohibition wake kwenzeka kwasekuqaleni. Ubuthi awukhethayo? I-Whisky, kunjalo.
