Sele sisazi ukuba kuninzi okungaphezulu ku-Amelia Reardon (uCarmen Ejogo) kunokuba kujongwe emehlweni. isizini yesithathu ye Umcuphi oyinyani . Kodwa inenekazi eliphambili kumdlalo wolwaphulo-mthetho we-HBO ekugqibeleni wayingqina xa etyhila iinkcukacha ezithile malunga nomlingiswa wakhe ukuba wanyanzelisa ukuba atshintshe.
Ndihlala ndinezandla kakhulu xa kufikwa kwezo zinto, u-Ejogo uxelele uPampereDpeopleny kudliwanondlebe olukhethekileyo. Ndiye ndacinga kakhulu ngohlobo lombhali u-Amelia anqwenela ukuba nguye, lowo wayemgqala njengokhuthazayo kwaye ebeya kufuna ukumxelisa ngokwendlela anxibe ngayo kunye nendlela azibhala ngayo.
Kukho abantu abathile, abanjengoAlice Walker, uGloria Steinem noJoan Didion endinethemba lokuba uya kukhuthazwa nguye, utshilo uEjogo. Kwaye iinwele zazilungiswa ngokwenene.
U-Amelia ka-Ejogo sele edlulile kutshintsho lweenwele ezimbalwa, ukusuka kwi-flippy bob yakhe ukuya kwii-curls zakhe ezinde eziphefumlelwe yihippie. Kwaye kwakungekho ngaphandle kwegalelo lika-Ejogo ukuba ezi nwele zeza.
Ekuqaleni, [umyili wempahla] wayecinga ukuba mhlawumbi [u-Amelia] une-Afro, kwaye ngokwenene andizange ndicinge ukuba ndingenza njalo. Bendicinga ukuba yinto engenakwenzeka leyo… Ukuba [u-Amelia] ebesebenza kwisikolo esigcwele abamhlophe apho ebesele enemiba yabantwana abanokudumzela izinto ezipasejini… Ndiyathandabuza ukuba angavela, uyazi, egcwele i-Afro, nokuba yiyo kanye le nto wayenayo ngokwezopolitiko zakhe kunye nobutshantliziyo bakhe.
Eli galelo lizele i-Ejogo's-style'70's-style ye-chin-length bob ene-fringe etshayelayo. (Kwaye si—sinobuganga bokutsho?— siphefumlelwe ukufowunela umntu olungisa iinwele kwaye ubhukishe idinga ngokukhawuleza.)
Ke, emva koko, waqhubela phambili, ukuya kwi-'90s, u-Ejogo waqhubeka. Kwaye ngenene ndaziva ngathi [u-Amelia] uza kuye njengegcisa kwaye eqala ukuziva exhotyisiwe kwaye ezenzele ngokwakhe. Ke kulapho ndaziva ndiqinisekile ukuba ndiqale ukunxiba iinwele zakhe ngokwemvelo ngaphandle kweentlobo ezifanayo zokukhathazeka ngokungena.
Lowo yayingumzekelo owomeleleyo wokuba iinwele zaziza kuqala khona ukumila xa kuthelekiswa nendawo awayekuyo—kwindlela yakhe yokuzingca kunye nokukhula kwakhe.
Esi ayisosihlandlo sokuqala umdlali we-actress ecela ukongeza kwiinkcukacha malunga nabalinganiswa abadlalayo. U-Ejogo wenze umnxeba ofanayo kwiseti ye Izilo ezimangalisayo kunye nendawo yokuzifumana xa ebuza umyili weempahla uColleen Atwood ukuba wayekwazi ukufaka imisesane kwisandla sakhe sasekhohlo ngendima yakhe njengoSeraphina, inkokeli yenkongolo yobugqi eU.S.
U-Ejogo, onobuchule bembali, wayesazi ukuba ukuba sekhohlo bekusoloko kunxulunyaniswa nomlingo omnyama kunye neenkolelo.
Sukuba nexhala, sele sisete isikhumbuzi ukuba sijonge ukuba yeyiphi na isandla ikhonkco lika-Amelia kwisiqendu esilandelayo…
Vula i-HBO ngeCawa ezayo, ngoFebruwari 3, ngo-9 ebusuku. kwisiqendu sesihlanu Umcuphi oyinyani .
