Ndiyathanda ukubonisa iintsuku ezininzi kwangoko nangaliphi na ixesha ndihamba ngenqanawa, kwaye okoko iHalloween yeHalloween kuhambo lwaselwandle oluPhakamileyo lwaqala eManhattan Terminal, ndaba nethuba elifanelekileyo lokonwabela iintsuku ezintathu zemiboniso ye-Broadway ngaphambi kokuqalisa iMagic Disney. Ndikhethe imiboniso emine eyahlukeneyo, zonke zohluke kakhulu kwezinye. Ukukhetha kwam kuqala kwi-Broadway yayinguMichael Moore: Imiqathango yokuNikezela kwam. Isihloko senza umdla wam; UMichael Moore akalulo uhlobo lwendoda ezinikezela kuye naphantsi kwayo nayiphi na imeko.
Ndadibana nale ndoda eyindumasi amaxesha ambalwa ngaphambili; uyafikeleleka eMichigan, kwaye uzabalazela ukuba angaze abonakale engenamntu okanye engaphezulu kwabantu. Usisithethi esinamandla, ke bendifuna ukuva iiperile zobulumko ezibandakanya umboniso we-Broadway.
Moore wayemangalisiwe kule ntsebenzo; ubukhulu becala yayimalunga nobomi bakhe nento ayikholelwayo. Andiboni abahlekisi abaninzi behlekisa, kodwa ndazinikela kwisilumko esiliqili sikaMoore, ndadityaniswa nokuhleka kwabaphulaphuli. Uhlobo lwakhe lokuhlekisa luphucukile kwaye luyingqondi; wazisa umboniso wakhe njengenkqubo yamanyathelo ali-12 yenkululeko. Andinguye umntu okhululekileyo okanye onxilisayo, ngoko ke ukuhamba ngeeseshoni ezili-12 zokubuyisela kwakuyimpumelelo. Elinye lamanyathelo emveli kwezi nkqubo kubandakanya ukuguqula iingxaki zakho ziye kuThixo. UMoore wavuma, “Amandla am aphezulu nguRuth Bader Ginsburg.”
UMoore wakhwaza, “Yenzeka njani le nto? Kukanye kuphela kwisithuba seminyaka engama-30 apho iRiphabhlikhi iphumelele ivoti edumileyo. ” Iprojekhthi kwimvelaphi yeqonga yayingumfanekiso omkhulu, ongathandekiyo kaDonald Trump- kujongeka ngathi ibhiliyoni ibixhinelwe iveki. Kwindawo yokudlala, bekukho isimemo esivulekileyo sikaMnu Trump sokuya kumboniso ngexesha lakhe lokuzonwabisa. Inxalenye yesimemo yayiseRashiya, ewe. Kwakukho iinguqu ezili-15 ezazisetwe kumanyathelo ali-12 ekukhanyeni, ngemifanekiso engqindilili nengacacanga. Ingqikelelo enye yayiyiflegi yaseMelika isuse obomvu; khange kuthathe uhlalutyo oluninzi ukufumana loo subliminal. UMoore wathi uTrump uphumelele kuba uDonald wayenobuchule bokusebenzisa abantu abamhlophe. Uthe i-64% yabafana abamhlophe bavotele umongameli wethu ohleliyo, kodwa uMoore wazisa iiyure ezimbini zezizathu zokuba kutheni singavumeli iTrump yesibini.
Ndafumanisa ibali lobomi likaMorey linomdla. Wathetha ngokubhala iphepha lokuma kwisebe laBafana xa wayesemncinci; Kwakufuneka ukuba ibe malunga no-Abraham Lincoln, kwaye ukhuphiswano luxhaswe yi-Elks 'Club. Wathabatha ithuba lokubethelela iKlabhu yee-Elks ngomgaqo-nkqubo wabo wobulungu abamhlophe kuphela. Umama wayengumqeshwa kwiKlabhu ye-Elks ngelo xesha, kwaye andizange ndiqaphele ukuba ibimhlophe kuphela ngaphakathi kweendonga zayo ezingenakudlula. Njenge-Anglo-Scandinavia, ndicinga nje ukuba abanye abanamdla kubulungu. Omathathu la manani katata ebomini bam ayengabantu abanobuhlanga, ngoko ke andizange ndibekho nakubani na ngaphandle kwe-WASPS emhlophe. Umama wam wayengumKatolika, kodwa walushiya ukholo emtshatweni neprotestanti.
UMoore ukhumbula xa wayefunda kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, wabethwa yinqununu yakhe ngenye imini ngezihlandlo ezihlanu zokuhlaselwa kwababini ngo-XNUMX, njengesohlwayo sokungabinisi ihempe yakhe. Njengoko benditshilo ngaphambili, andinguye umntu okhululekileyo, kwaye andiveli kusapho olukhululekileyo. Ukuba inqununu indihlukumezile, umama ngewayebonakalisile esikolweni ephethe umpu kwaye wavuthela ubuso bakhe obuncumileyo entlokweni yakhe. Yindlela esiphatha ngayo izinto kwindawo yam ebomvu iIndiana apho abantu bam bavela khona. Ngapha koko, umzala kamama uthathe umpu wadubula umyeni wakhe ngesiqingatha emva kokuba embambile ethandana; sihlala sivumela imipu yethu ukuba ithethe.
Kodwa u-Moore akayifuni imipu, kwaye wayethetha kakhulu ngayo. Ucebise ukutshitshiswa koLungiso lwesi-2, endaweni yalo kwenziwe uhlengahlengiso lwama-28 oluthi "lilawule ngokungqongqo ilungelo labantu lokugcina nokuphatha inani eliqingqiweyo leengalo ezingezizo ezizenzekelayo zemidlalo nokuzingela, ngokubhekisele kwilungelo labo bonke abantu khululeka kugonyamelo lwemipu; ayizukuphulwa. ” Ufile nzulu ngalento. Uxwebhu luka-2002 lwe-Award-Award Award Bowling for Bowling kaColumbine wagxeka ububi obenziwa yinkcubeko eyazukisa umpu. Umsebenzi wakhe uthathwa njengeyona bhanya-bhanya ibalaseleyo yexesha lonke. Wayethetha ngothakazelelo ngokuchasene nobundlobongela bemipu kwaye waxela kwangaphambili nangakumbi ukudubula kwabantu eMelika kwakuza. Iphantse yabangathi wayengusiyazi; Oku bekuyintsuku ezintathu ngaphambi kokuba kudutyulwe abantu abaninzi eLas Vegas.
Wanconywa njengoyinto yengqondo xa wayexela ngokuchanekileyo unyulo ngokuthanda kukaTrump. Ayikuko ukuba uyamthanda uTrump, kodwa ngenxa yokuba ekholelwa ukuba iMelika ivelisa abantu "abazizidenge". Ude wenza umboniso we-quiz-show apho wabonisa khona ukungqubana kwe-"stupidest" yase-Canada ngokuchasene ne "smartest" yaseMelika. Ucele amavolontiya asuka eKhanada ane-GPA enomsila ukuphendula imibuzo egameni "labaphambukeli". Ucele amaMelika anamaGPA aphezulu ukuba akhuphisane nawo. Wacela amavolontiya awahlukeneyo awayefumene ii-A ngokuthe ngqo ekholejini. Ndine-4.0 egqibeleleyo evela kwiikholeji ezintathu nakwiiyunivesithi ezimbini, ugqirha kunye nasemva kobugqirha, kodwa andikholelwa ukuba uyasibona isandla sam emoyeni kuba bekumnyama kwicandelo lam elingaphantsi kwebhalkhoni. Nangona kunjalo, wakhetha ugqirha wentlungu kunye neinjineli ukumela amaMelika, kwaye banamanqaku kwii-3.9's. Qikelela ukuba? AmaKhanada awuphumelele umdlalo.
Kwesinye sezikwere zakhe, wahlekisa ngemithetho eyalela izinto ezithile ngaphakathi kuqhubekeko xa kubhabha iinqwelomoya. Umzekelo, kwakungavumelekanga ukupakisha isilingo seenkomo. Ndicela konke ukunyaniseka, ngubani f *** othatha inkomo ehamba ekhefini, ngaphandle kwenguqulelo yekinky enkulu kaHugh Hefner? UMoore wayenetyala lesuti elincinci, apho watsala khona izinto ezingafunekiyo. Usebenzise ubuqili bokukhanya ukuze ahlekise, kanye xa uJulie Andrews watsala ingubo ende kwingubo yakhe encinci eMary Poppins. U-Moore wakhupha i-blower enkulu, wahambahamba ngeqonga evakalisa ubuyatha bokuthintela into engaqhelekanga. Ubonakalise imeko engenakulindeleka yomthengi wenqwelomoya ofuna ukuvuthela inkunkuma evela kumgangatho wenqwelomoya ukuze ahlale phantsi. Wakhomba i-blower kubathengi bemidlalo yeqonga ukubonisa ukusebenza ngokususa inkunkuma yokuvota kukaTrump. Njengokuba wayehamba ngeenyawo, wacela uxolo komnye umxhasi, "Hayi, ndiyaxolisa ngokuba ndilibale ukukuvuthela, mhlekazi."
U-Moore uxele ukuba abantu abasamxhasa uTrump emva kweenyanga ezilithoba e-ofisini bayinto elahlekileyo, kwaye wacela abaxhasi bakhe ukuba bagxile ekuqinisekiseni ama-90 ezigidi zabantu baseMelika abangenalo uthando lwezopolitiko lokuqokelela ngasekhohlo. Wayethetha ngabantu abanjengam, abangabo iRiphabliki okanye iDemokhrasi, abemi ngapha nangapha kocingo. Ndikulungele ukumamela uMichael Moore kanye njengoBill O'Reilly. Ndivile ukuba iingxoxo zikaMorey zicingelwe kakuhle, zincinci, kwaye kufanelekile ukuba ziqwalaselwe. Ngokuqinisekileyo andivumelani neepesenti ezili-100 zeengcinga zakhe, kodwa ndiza kumphulaphula. Ndikrokrela ukuba bambalwa abantu abafumana ubugqirha kwezomthetho, njengoko ndenzile, ukuba abanako ukumamela iimpikiswano ezivela kumacala omabini omcimbi.
Iinxalenye zalo mboniso zazisehla iinyembezi kum, ngakumbi xa wayethetha ngokuhlaselwa ngokungacwangciswanga kumntu awayefanele ajongane naye, kunye nezisongelo zokufa ezininzi awayezifumana. Wathetha ngomchasi onobundlobongela ngokumpompoza ngemela, kwaye indoda ebanjwe neziqhushumbisi yayenzelwe ukubekwa phantsi kwendlu kaMoore ukumtshabalalisa nosapho. Udlale iklip yerediyo kaGlenn Beck esongela ngokumbulala. Ndinexhala lokuba nangawuphi na umzuzu, iphiko lasekunene le-wacko linokutsala uJohn Wilkes Booth kuye.
Ngokubanzi, ukuma kwakhe ngokuchasene nemipu kwakunzima ukuginya; Uthi i-77% yabo bonke abantu baseMelika bakhetha ukungabinampu, yiyo loo nto imithetho yemipu kufuneka itshintshwe ibonakalise iimvakalelo zala maxesha. AmaJuda kwiJamani yamaNazi nawo babengenayo imipu, kuba urhulumente wabathatha. Ngoku, kusebenze njani?
Ngaxa lithile, amadoda aneebheji eza eqongeni aza afaka uMorey koomakhamandela. Bendingazi ukuba ndenze ntoni ngale nto. Umphathi wam wangaphambili, uFred Merle DeChausse, obambe umboniso we-cable TV "iPolka Party" wayesemsebenzini ngenye imini xa amapolisa aseWarren Michigan avela, ambopha izandla, emva koko amsa iesile lakhe kude. Ukubanjwa ngendlela efanayo kwenzeka ngexesha lamaNazi, xa abasemagunyeni babopha amaJuda, amafanasini, kunye nabantu abakhubazekileyo- babathatha, babahluba baba ze ze babatshisa kwi-oveni. Ewe kunjalo, (ngokwesikhokelo sabakhenkethi ebesinaso eDeutsches Stadion eNürnberg) uHitler waluma ngelithi amatyala egesi ayephezulu kakhulu.
U-Moore ubalise ngexesha abhabhela ngalo eJamani eyokukhalaza umsitho kumangcwaba amaNazi Weza nomhlobo wakhe ongumJuda-aba babini babephethe ibhanile ebhalwe "Babulala usapho lwam." UMoore kunye nomhlobo wakhe babeceba ukuyikhupha ngexesha elifanelekileyo ngelixa izitishi zikamabonwakude zisasaza ngqo. Ngelishwa, bavinjelwa amatyeli amaninzi ukungena kumnyhadala, kodwa ekugqibeleni bakhohlisa oonogada ngokungena ngokunyibilikayo kunye nezixhobo ezivela kwiindaba ze-CBS. Inqaku likaMorey lalisithi "F imigaqo, yenza into ekufuneka uyenzile."
Imiyalezo kaMoore indikhuthazile. Ulumkile. Unesibindi. Uqinisekile. Uyakholisa. Waye waqhwaba izandla ngehlombe, kwaye wayifumana. Serendipitously, ndeva komnye wabasebenzi benkampani indlela yokungena ngasese, umnyango ofihliweyo kufutshane nemfihlo, igumbi lokuhlambela elinabantu abakhubazekileyo, ukudibana nenkwenkwezi kwangoko emva komboniso. Ndifuna ifoto noMoore; Sele ndinabanye ababini kwiminyaka edlulileyo, kodwa bendifuna enye yakutshanje. Ndiphulukene neeponti ezili-100 okoko ndambona ephela, kwaye ndikhangeleka ndahluke ngokupheleleyo. Njengecala, ndine-dystrophy yemisipha kwaye ndisebenzisa isihambahamba; Andiyongongelo kuMichael Moore nangayiphi na into elula yokucinga. Kwaye ukwazi imbali yakhe yokuxhasa "umfo omncinci" ndikholelwe ukuba uyakunyanzela isicelo se-chap ekhubazekileyo efuna ukubamba umzuzu efotweni. Ndaye ndadlula kwindlela efihlakeleyo, ndaza ndasondela kakhulu kuMichael, kodwa indoda embi, ibhengeza ukuba ngumlindi wayo yeza kum yaza yaqala indithoba ngokungena kum emnyango owawuthintelwe ukudibana noMoore. Wandithethisa ngokungafumani mvume kwangaphambili, ngokungathi omnye wabasebenzi beqonga wayeza kundinika ukufikelela. U-Moore wavuma ngovuyo kumfanekiso xa wayesecaleni kwam, waze wathatha nekhamera yam yokufota wadubula i-selfie naye. Ndikhe ndathi krwaqu kumlindi okhohlakeleyo owayethetha, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, kwisifundo sikaMichael Moore: "F imithetho, ndiza kwenza into ekufuneka ndiyenzile."
Ngoku, amapolisa abopha u-Moore afunyenwe eyinxalenye yesenzo. Amadoda angama-hunky ayedanisa ngokungathandabuzekiyo enemisipha emikhulu kwaye enesidima …… umm, isibheno sezesondo, betyhutyha izinto zabo nje ukuze baqinisekise isiphelo esikhulu sokuzonwabisa. UMichael Moore wayekhuselekile - akukho xhala malunga nokutsalwa kwakhe ngamaNazi anamhlanje. Kodwa nje ukuba nabani na angazama, ndikhuliswe e-Indiana-ebomvu e-Indiana- kwaye siyaluthanda ulungiso lwesibini.
IMIQATHANGO YOKUZINIKELA KWAM. I-Belasco Theatre, kwisiXeko saseNew York. Ixesha lokubaleka: iiyure ezi-2.
