Palibe amene amapanga makanema ngati director wachi Greek Yorgos Lanthimos, ndipo filimu yake yanyimbo yakuda ya 2024 “Sorts of Kindness” ili ngati “The Twilight Zone” ya opotoza ndi ma sickos (mnjira yabwino kwambiri). Emma Stone amatsogolera gulu la ochita zisudzo aluso omwe aliyense amawoneka munkhani zotsatizana, amasewera magawo osiyanasiyana munkhani iliyonse, ndipo nthano yongopeka ndi filimu ya “Lanthimos” kwambiri yomwe Lanthimos adapangapo.

Ena mafani adakhumudwitsidwa mu “Sorts of Kindness” Pambuyo pa mphotho ya Academy Award-wopambana psychosexual zokondweretsa za Stone ndi Lanthimos mgwirizano wam’mbuyo, “Zosauka,” zomwe zinali ndi script ya “The Nice” mlengi Tony McNamara, koma “Sorts of Kindness” ndi ntchito yosangalatsa komabe. Lanthimos adalemba nawo “Mitundu ya Kukoma Mtima” ndi wothandizana nawo pafupipafupi Efthymis Filippou, yemwe adalembanso mafilimu a wotsogolera “Alps,” “Dogtooth,” “Lobster,” ndi “Kupha Deer Wopatulika,” ndipo ndikubwerera ku zizindikiro zake zambiri zachilendo. Otchulidwa nthawi zina amalankhula ngati kuti sakudziwa zenizeni, akupereka mizere yodabwitsa yamakambirano momveka bwino, ndipo nthabwala zake zimakhala zakuda kwambiri. Ndi zinthu zodabwitsa, ndipo izi zikutanthauza kuti nthawi zina zimakhala zosavuta kusochera ndikumaliza ndikudabwa kuti zonsezi zikutanthauza chiyani.

Nkhani iliyonse mu “Sorts of Kindness” ili ndi mutu: “Imfa ya RMF,” “RMF Is Flying,” ndi “RMF Eats Sandwich,” kotero mwinamwake malo abwino kwambiri oti muyambe ndi kulingalira “Mitundu Ya Kukoma Mtima” ndikuzindikira kuti ndani – kapena chiyani – “RMF”.

M’mawu enieni, “RMF” ndi zoyambira za munthu (zoseweredwa ndi Yorgos Stefanakos) yemwe amakhala ngati nkhani yofotokozera munkhani iliyonse. (Iyenso ali ndi zoyamba zopetedwa pa malaya ake, ngakhale Vivian wa Margaret Qualley amalakwitsa “R” kaamba ka “B”.) M’nkhani yoyamba, amalembedwa ntchito ndi kulamulira, wabizinesi wokhotakhota Raymond (Willem Dafoe) kuti aphedwe ndi winawake. pena amalemba ntchito ndi zoyamba zomwezo. Pambuyo pake amaphedwa ndi Robert (Jesse Plemons) yemwe anali wantchito wakale wa Raymond (Jesse Plemons) ndipo akuwonekeranso m’nkhani yachitatu, “RMF Eats Sandwich,” monga mtembo womwe umaukitsidwa ndi Ruth (Qualley), dokotala wazowona zamatsenga wokhala ndi mphamvu zamatsenga. M’nkhani yachiwiri ndi woyendetsa helikopita yemwe amapulumutsa ofufuza awiri omwe adakakamira pachilumba, kuphatikiza Liz (Stone), yemwe mwamuna wake Daniel (Plemons) amakhulupirira kuti adabweranso atasintha mwanjira ina.

Anatero Lanthimos Zosiyanasiyana kuti palibe tanthauzo lenileni kumbuyo kwa khalidwe kapena oyambirira ake, kufotokoza kuti “sankafuna kukhala ndi khalidwe lalikulu kuwonekeranso, koma khalidwe lomwe linali ndi nthawi yochepa mufilimuyi.” Ndipo ngakhale kuti “kukhalapo kwake kunali kofunika,” dzina lake lenileni silitanthauza kanthu. Lanthimos adazisiyira omvera, akuti, “Mutha kugwiritsa ntchito kufotokozera kulikonse komwe mukufuna kapena malingaliro anu.”

Otsatira ayesa kubwera ndi kufotokozera kwawo, ndi kukambirana pa The Lanthimos subreddit adabwera ndi ena abwino kwambiri, kuphatikiza “Amayi MwachisawawaF******,” “Chiwonetsero Chachimuna Mwachisawawa,” “Chiwombolo, Kuwongolera, Chikhulupiriro,” ndi zina zambiri. Pali mawu ambiri omwe angagwiritsidwe ntchito pa nkhani iliyonse komanso matanthauzidwe ambiri, ndipo kusamveka bwino ndi gawo la luso la filimuyi. Monga mafilimu ambiri a Lanthimos, “Sorts of Kindness” sakuyesera kupereka mayankho kwa omvera: chimangofuna kuti azifunsa mafunso.

Kupatula RMF, pali mutu wapakati mu “Mitundu Ya Kukoma Mtima” yomwe imamangiriza nkhanizo. Gawo lirilonse limatsatira munthu yemwe sangayime chilichonse kuti apeze zomwe akufuna. Onse amalakalaka kulumikizana, ngakhale kulumikizanaku kuyenera kukhala ndi munthu wina wake: m’nkhani yoyamba, Robert amangofuna kuti abwana ake olamulira Raymond amuvomereze; chachiwiri, Daniel akungofuna mkazi wake Liz ndipo amakana choloŵa mmalo chilichonse; ndipo chachitatu, Emily akufuna kupeza wosankhidwa wa chipembedzo chake ndi kukondedwa ndi atsogoleri ake achipembedzo, Omi (Dafoe) ndi Aka (Hong Chau). Aliyense wa otsutsawa amatha kupatukana ndi chinthu chomwe amachikonda / chikhumbo chake, monga Robert adaponyedwa pambali ndi Raymond chifukwa chokana kupha RMF, Liz adatayika panyanja, ndipo Emily adathamangitsidwa kuchipembedzo atagwiriridwa. ndi mwamuna wake amene anali kutalikirana naye ndipo amabwerera ku chipembedzo “choipitsidwa.”

Aliyense amachita mopambanitsa kuti apeze zomwe akufuna, ndipo kupambana kwawo kosiyanasiyana sikuwonetsedwa ngati zabwino kapena zoyipa, zomwe zimasiya kwa omvera kuti asankhe ngati zinali zoyenera kapena ayi. Ndizosangalatsa kudziwa kuti m’nkhani zonse zitatu, otchulidwawo amapewa kukhala ndi ana mwanjira ina, pomwe Robert amazembera mkazi wake ochotsa mimba polamula Raymond, Daniel amakana Liz doppelgänger ngakhale ali ndi chonde (ndipo Liz sakuganiza kuti alibe), ndipo Emily adamusiya. mwana wamkazi ndi mwamuna wake ngakhale kuti amamukonda momveka bwino ndikusiya mphatso zake zazing’ono. Banja ndi ana ndi njira yosavuta yochitira zinthu zosiyanasiyana zomwe anthu amapereka chifukwa cha ntchito zawo, maubwenzi achikondi, ndi chikhulupiriro, ndipo anthuwa amasonyeza kuti ndi okonzeka kudzimana zonse. Nsembe ndi mutu womwe Lanthimos amakonda kusewera nawo (onaninso: “Kupha Mbawala Yopatulika”), ndi “Mitundu ya Kukoma Mtima” imatengera kutalika kwake kopanda tanthauzo.

M’nkhani yachiwiri, Daniel akulakalaka kuti mkazi wake Liz abwerere chombo chake chofufuza chikatayika panyanja, koma mkazi yemwe pamapeto pake amabwerera sakuwoneka ngati mkazi wake. Mapazi ake ndi akulu pang’ono ndipo palibe nsapato yake yoyenera, poyambira, ndipo mwadzidzidzi amakonda chokoleti ngakhale amadana nazo. Zilakolako zake zakugonana zakulanso kwambiri moti Daniel akuda nkhawa nazo, ndipo izi zikutengera mfundo yakuti nthawi zambiri awiriwa amagonana m’magulu ndi anzawo apamtima. Aliyense womuzungulira akuganiza kuti wagwidwa mumtundu wina wachinyengo chozunza komanso kuti Liz ndi yemwe akunena kuti ali, ngakhale kuti wopulumuka yekha pachilumbachi ali chikomokere. Iye anabwerera zosiyanandipo Danieli anayamba kumupempha kuti apereke nsembe kwa iye. Choyamba, amamupempha kuti amudule chala chachikulu n’kuchiphika, kenako chiwindi chake.

Kuchotsa chiwindi kumapha Liz Wonyenga ndipo zikuwoneka ngati Daniel ndi mtundu wina wa chilombo pamene Liz weniweni akuwonekera pakhomo ndipo awiriwa adagwirizananso. Ndi mtundu wa chisangalalo, ngati inu kunyalanyaza akufa doppelgänger kumbuyo. Nkhani zazifupi zotsatizanazi zikuwonetsa Dziko la Agalu komwe doppelgänger Liz adati amakhala, komwe agalu ndi anthu adasinthana malo ndipo anthu adadyetsedwa chokoleti. Sitidzadziwa chifukwa chomwe RMF idapulumutsira zomwe zimawoneka kuti sizili bwino, kapenanso momwe Liz weniweni adafikira kunyumba, chifukwa ndi nthano ndipo mbalizo zilibe kanthu! Chofunikira ndichakuti Daniel adadziwa kuti mkazi wake anali ndani ndipo anali wokonzeka kutaya chilichonse kuti amupeze ndikuchotsa wachinyengo wakeyo.

M’nkhani yachitatu, mamembala ampatuko Emily (Stone) ndi Andrew (Plemons) akufunafuna mesiya wa mpatuko wawo, mkazi amene adzatha kuukitsa akufa. Pali njira zenizeni, zosamvetseka, ndipo amayendayenda m’dziko lonselo kufunafuna anthu omwe angakwane. Amangomwa madzi a m’ziwiya zimene anadza nazo, ndipo zaululika kuti madziwo amachokera kunyumba ya atsogoleri awo, Omi ndi Aka, amene amawayeretsa ndi misozi yawo. Mamembala a mpatuko onse amagonana wina ndi mnzake komanso Omi ndi Aka, koma ngati agonana ndi wina aliyense kunja kwa mpatuko “kungawaipitse”. Tsoka ilo, Emily amapezeka kuti ali ndi kachilombo pomwe mwamuna wake wakale adagwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo ndikumugwirira, zomwe zimamuthamangitsa m’gulu lachipembedzo. Ngakhale kukhala pafupi kupha, kukhala nthawi yayitali m’nyumba ya thukuta sikumuyeretsa. Amaponya chilichonse kuti apeze mesiya kuti aloledwe kubwerera m’gulu lachipembedzo, ndi zotulukapo zoyipa.

Ndizosangalatsa chifukwa m’magawo awiri oyamba, otsogola adatha kusalidwa ndi kusankha. Robert anakana kupha RMF ngakhale anali womasuka ndi china chilichonse chomwe wakhala akuchita, pamene Daniel akanatha kuyesa kuvomereza kuti Liz wasintha kapena kungomusiya m’malo mofuna mapaundi ake a thupi. Emily anali pafupi ndi mkazi wake wakale chifukwa ankafuna kuona mwana wake wamkazi, ndipo chifukwa cha chimenecho iye analangidwa osati kokha kumenyedwa komweko, komanso kuthamangitsidwa ku chinthu chimodzi chimene iye ankasamala nacho. Ndi ndemanga yomvetsa chisoni ya anthu omwe akugwiriridwa chigololo akuimbidwa mlandu chifukwa cha nkhanza zawo, ndipo zimapangitsa zomwe zimachitika pambuyo pake kukhala zomvetsa chisoni kwambiri.

Emily akubera Ruth (Qualley), yemwe anachiritsa chilonda chakuya pa mwendo wa galu ngati watsopano, ndikupita naye kumalo osungiramo mitembo kuti akawone ngati ndiye wosankhidwayo. Rute amatha kuukitsa RMF, yemwe anali atafa atathamangitsidwa ndi Robert m’nkhani yoyamba. (Kodi anali ndi moyo bwanji ngati woyendetsa helikoputala m’nkhani yachiwiri? Mwina ndicho chifukwa chake Liz anali doppelgänger, kapena mwina iwo alibe dongosolo. Zomwe mukuganiza kuti ndi zabwino ngati zathu.) Zokondwa kuti tsopano atha kubwereranso m’gulu lachipembedzo. , Emily akuthamangira ku nyumbayo ali ndi Ruth woledzeretsa ali pampando wokwera, ndiye kuti anachita ngozi ndi kutumiza Ruth wosavala lamba akuwuluka pagalasi lakutsogolo. amafa. Zimamveka ngati “zonse zinali zopanda pake” ngati Lanthimos wodwala akuseka, koma ndi phunziro pozindikira zolakwa zathu zisanachedwe, Emily amayendetsa ngati munthu wododometsa pa “The Dukes of Hazzard” ( ngakhale m’malo oimika magalimoto motelo).

Nthawi zina moyo umangokhala nthabwala chabe, makamaka ngati muli mu kanema wa Yorgos Lanthimos.

Rute ataphedwa ndipo mbiri yomaliza ikuyamba kugundika, timapeza chithunzi chokongola chapakati pomwe RMF yakhala kunja kwa malo odyera otchedwa “Child’s Snack Field.” Akudya sangweji yochokera m’mutu womaliza ndipo amadzaza malaya ake ndi ketchup, zomwe zidapangitsa woperekera zakudya kuti amupatse zopukutira. Ngakhale adakhalapo m’ngozi ziwiri zowopsa zamagalimoto ndikugundidwa ndi Robert wakupha, akufa, ndikuukitsidwa, akadali pano pakati pa enafe ogona, akudya masangweji ndikutenga ketchup pa malaya ake. Iye akusangalala ndi tinthu tating’ono, ine ndikuganiza, kukumbatira wamba zonsezo mosasamala kanthu za zopusa za kukhalapo kwake. Ndi zopanda pake pachimake chake, zomwe ziridi zomwe mafilimu a Lanthimos amakhudza.
