Ndikwenza umbuliso kwiiNja eziPhezulu: Abadala banokusifundisa amaNkohliso amatsha, Nabo

Izinja eziphezulu "zingene," njengoko kufanelekile.

"Ubuso bakho bunokuba buhlungu kukuncuma kuninzi lwale filimu kwaye, nangona kukho iimeko ezimbalwa ezinokuzisa iinyembezi ezimbalwa, kufanelekile ukuba ufumane ukuzinikela kunye nomrhumo owanikwa ezi zidalwa zimnandi nezintle ebezisembalini ukulahla ecaleni okanye ukungahoywa. —UKaren Ponzi, Indawo eNtsha ezimeleyo

Izinja eziphezulu kunye nezinye izilwanyana ezingezizo ezomntu (izilwanyana) zizinto ezimangalisayo esinokuthi sifunde lukhulu ngazo nangeziqu zethu. Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo ndenze udliwanondlebe nomenzi bhanyabhanya ophumelele amabhaso uGorman Bechard malunga nefilimu yakhe ebalulekileyo, Inja egama linguGucci , kwaye ngoku ndonwabile ukunikezela ngolunye udliwanondlebe noGorman malunga nefilimu yakhe entsha nebalaseleyo, Abadala i-Dogumentary eya kukhutshwa kumaqonga okubukela ngoLwesibini, nge-29 kaSeptemba. ¹

Itreyila iyabonakala apha. Ndiye ndabukela Abadala Amaxesha amaninzi kwaye ndicinge kakhulu ngodliwanondlebe endilwenzileyo nomfoti ophumelele amabhaso u-Isa Leshko malunga nencwadi yakhe ebizwa Ukuvunyelwa ukuba mdala: Imifanekiso yezilwanyana eziLupheleyo ezivela kwiiNgcweliso zeFama Ezele yimifanekiso eshukumayo ebonisa intliziyo, isidima, kunye noluhlu lwabantu abohlukileyo nabanomdla.

Nantsi into ayithethayo uGorman ngomsebenzi wakhe omtsha - ifilimu endiyibukele iphindaphindwe kuba intle.

Kutheni wenze Abadala?

Ngefilimu yam yokuqala yezilwanyana Inja egama linguGucci , Ndiza kuva amaxesha ngamaxesha ukuba abantu bafuna ukubukela ifilimu, kodwa abakwazanga. Babesoyikiswa yimifanekiso yobundlobongela, ngaphandle kwam ndisithi bambalwa kakhulu kwifilimu. Ukuba ifilimu yayininzi malunga nento esinokuyenza sonke ukunika ilizwi kwizilwanyana.

Ekusondeleni ifilimu yam yesibini yezentlalontle ndazi ngoko nangoko ukuba ndifuna ukuba ibeyifilimu "eyonwabileyo", endiya kuyibiza ngolu hlobo. Kwaqala xa ndakuva malunga neChaser, ndafika kuGqirha uPilley ukuba ndibuze ukuba ndingamdliwanondlebe naye ndize ndibeke umboniso wenja yakhe emangalisayo. Kodwa bendisazi ukuba ayiyiyo yonke ibali lam. Nje ukuba inkosikazi yam kunye nomvelisi uKristine bandazise kwi-Old Friends Senior Dog Sanctuary, ifilimu yaqala ukubonakala.

Iya kuba luxwebhu malunga nobungakanani bezinja eziphezulu. Bangakanani ubomi nothando ekufuneka belinike. Ithemba lam yayikukudala ifilimu eya kwenza ukuba abantu bacinge kabini ngokuthatha injana ekhaya bashiye indawo yokuhlala kwaye bakhethe loo mntu uphakamileyo endaweni yoko. Ukongeza uJane Sobel Klonsky kunye nokufota okumangalisayo kwifilimu kwandinceda ndibalisa ibali ngendlela emnandi nenhle. Andizange ndibonise inja ephezulu ibandezeleka kwikheji. Endaweni yokuba ndikubonise inja enkulu ongayongeza ebomini bakho. ² [Kudliwanondlebe noNksk. Klonsky, jonga "Izinja eziDala: Ukunika abantu abadala ii-Canines uthando oluninzi kunye nobomi obulungileyo."]

Ifilimu yakho entsha inxibelelana njani nemvelaphi yakho kunye neendawo eziqhelekileyo zomdla?

Ndinezinto ezintathu ebomini bam: umculo, ipitsa entsha yeHaven kunye nezinja. Ndenze iifilimu malunga nazo zonke. Olo thando ngesona silwanyana sikhulu kwiplanethi kuko konke endinako ngendlela yemvelaphi. Kodwa bendihlala ndikholelwa ukuba xa ndenza into yobugcisa, nokuba yeyokupeyinta, incwadi, ingoma, okanye ifilimu, olo thando lwalusisithako esinye esikhulu. Isebenzisa into endiyaziyo ndiyenza ngcono ukunceda ukufundisa uluntu kunye nokugcina izinja.

Ngoobani abaphulaphuli bakho ekujoliswe kubo?

Kuvulekile ngokubanzi apha. Nabani na okhe waba neyakhe kwaye wayithanda inja uya kufumana into kule filimu eya kuthi ifundise, yonwabe, okanye izise uncumo ebusweni babo. Kwaye kweli hlabathi ngoku, andikwazi ukucinga ngento engcono kunokwenza abantu bancume kwaye bagcine izinja ngefilimu efanayo.

Zithini ezinye zezihloko ozifaka kwifilimu yakho kwaye zithini imiyalezo yakho ephambili?

Ngaphandle komyalezo ophambili wokuba izinja eziphezulu zisagcwele ngobomi, bendifuna ukuqhuba ndigoduse inqaku lokuba izinja zikrelekrele kakhulu kunokuba uninzi lwethu lukholelwa. Oko kwakhula ngento uDoug James ayithethileyo Inja egama linguGucci xa abantu beza kubuza ukuba kutheni esebenza nzima kangaka ukutshintsha imithetho yezilwanyana xa "iyinja esisidenge." NjengoDoug, ndiyakholelwa ngokwenyani ukuba akukho nto injengenja esisimumu. Baninzi abanini zizimumu, kodwa ungaze uyigxeke inja. UChaser bubungqina bokuba. Ukuba amandla abo okufunda anqunyelwe kuphela lixesha esilichitha sifundisa.

Kwaye izinja zilusapho. Kwaye kufanele baphathwe ngoluhlobo, ngentlonipho efanayo nesinika abantu, ngakumbi kwiminyaka yabo yobudala. Izinja zisinike ixesha labo lobomi lothando olungenamiqathango, ukudlala, ukuhamba, kunye novelwano, kwaye kufanelekile kubo ukuba kunye nabo kwaye sibakhathalele de baphume umphefumlo. Ndiyakholelwa ngokwenyani ukuba ngumntu nje owoyikekayo onokulahla inja ephezulu kwindawo yokuhlala kuba bebengafanelekanga ukuyinyamekela. Ndingakuvuyela ukujika loo nto kwaye ndiyathemba ukuba into efanayo iya kwenzeka kuloo mntu xa sele emdala kwaye engakwazi ukuzimela. Ukungabikho kwemfesane yenja ayinakwenzeka kwaye kuyothusa kum.

Ifilimu yakho yahluke njani kwabanye abanomdla kwizihloko ezifanayo ezifanayo?

Ayifani phantse nayo yonke ifilimu yezentlalo-ntle yezilwanyana eyakha yenziwa kuba awusoze uphambuke kumfanekiso woxhatshazo kule filimu. Awuyi kubona nenja ehokweni. Akukho nto ide yoyike kude. Yifilimu eyonwabileyo ebhiyozela ubomi, ubukrelekrele, uvelwano, kunye nokuzibophelela. Ngokwenyani kuya kufuneka uncume ukusuka kwindlebe uye kwindlebe. Nabantwana bayayithanda.

Ngaba unethemba lokuba izinto ziya kutshintsha zibe ngcono njengoko abantu befunda ngobomi bokuqonda kunye neemvakalelo zabemi abaphezulu be-canine — abadala ababalaseleyo — kwaye bafuna ntoni kwaye bafuna ntoni kuthi?

Ithemba lam kukuba asinakuze siyibone enye inja enkulu ilahlwe kwindawo yokuhlala, okanye ishiywe ukuba iye kufela ehlathini. Kukho isicatshulwa esikhulu sikaKurt Vonnegut esivela kwisidlo sakusasa sentshatsheli: "Siphilile kuphela kwinqanaba lokuba izimvo zethu zinobuntu." Ndiza kuyithatha inyathelo elinye, izimvo zethu kunye nezenzo zethu. Kufuneka sibuphathe obunye ubomi kulo mhlaba ngendlela nathi esingathanda ukuphathwa ngayo. Kwaye ukuba asinakuqala ngezinja, ezisinika ngaphezulu kunabanye abantu, emva koko silahlekile njengenkcubeko.

Ngaba ikhona enye into ongathanda ukubaxelela abafundi?

Phatha inja yakho njengoko unokuba lilungu losapho elithandekayo kuba yindlela ophatha ngayo inja yakho.
