ULouis de Funes ungomnye wamaFrentshi adume kakhulu, lo ngumntu omncinci ongakhange ahlakulele enkulu. Abaninzi bakhulela kwiifilimu zakhe, ezifana neFantômas kunye neGendarme yaseStro-Tropez. Wafa ngaphezu kweminyaka engama-30 edlulileyo, kodwa oku akumthinteli ukuba athandwe. Ukuphela komsebenzi wakhe kubo bonke kwakumangalisa ngokwenene, kuba wajika waba yintsimi waza wafa esitratweni sakhe.
Ngoko, masiqale. ULouis de Funes ngumqondiso weFransi, kodwa oku akumthinteli ukuba abeSpaniard engcolileyo. Abazali bakhe babengabangaphandle baseSpain, kodwa akazange afune ukucinga ngako, akazange akhulume iSpanishi, kuba wayefuna ukulibala ngobunzima bakhe buntwaneni.
Uyise wodumo owaziwayo wayishiya intsapho waza waya eSpanish, kodwa akazange amxelele nabani na, ngenxa yokuba wayezibulala kwaye kuphela emva konyaka waziwa ukuba uhlala eSpanish, apho abuyele khona ngenxa yokuba wayenentloni ukuba akazange kumandla ukuxhasa intsapho.
U-Eleanor, unina kaLouis walandela emva kwakhe waza wabuya, kodwa wayesele egula ngesifo sofuba waza wafa. Ingcamango yokuba uyise ubalekele eSpeyin ngenxa yobuthathaka waza wamshiya, waba nomthelela omkhulu kwixesha elizayo lomntwana, wazithembisa ukuba abantwana bakhe babengeke bafune nto kwaye akaze ashiye. Intsapho yakhe kwixesha elizayo kuye kwaba ngaphezu kwayo yonke, wamnika ixesha elide.
Emva kokufa kukayise, uLouis wayehlala kwindawo yokukhusela, unina wamnika yona, kuba wayengenayo imali yokuxhasa intsapho yakhe. Indawo yokukhusela, njengoko iyaziwa, inemithetho yayo nemimiselo, umncinci omncinci watshelwa ngokukhawuleza ukuba wayehluke kumntu wonke, kuba wayemncinci phakathi kweontanga zakhe. Wayesoloko ehleka kwaye ehleka ngaye, ngoko wagqiba ekubeni atshintshe iimpazamo zakhe. Kwiimidlalo zesikolo, waqala ukulolonga italente yakhe yokutya kwaye oku kuye kwamsindisa ekuxhatshazweni kontanga, ngenxa yokuba waxuba kunye kwaye wayephakathi kwenkxalabo.
Emva kwexesha, waqonda ukuba uza kwenza imali kwizinto eza kwenza abantu bahlekise. Emva kokukhula (ngexesha lokuhlala eFransi wayengumfundisi we-solfeggio kwisikolo somculo), wafumana uthanda ubomi bakhe - uJeanne Augustine de Barthelemy de Maupassant. Indlalifa yaseFransi eneempawu ezicokisekileyo kunye nendodana yabasemzini abasuka eSpain - abananto into efanayo, kodwa iimvakalelo ziye zavutha. Kungekudala lo mbhangqwana wawufuna ukutshata, kodwa izihlobo zikaJeanne zichasene, kuba ngubani ohluphekileyo uLousa ngokumelene nentsapho yakwaDe Maupassant.
Ngokuhamba kwexesha, abahloniphekileyo banikezela isivumelwano somtshato wabo, kodwa kungekudala kwaziwa ukuba uLouis wayesele utshatile kwaye wayenomntwana. Njengoko kwaziwa, eneminyaka engama-22 umculi wexesha elizayo watshata noGermaine Louise Elodi Carrooye, othe wabuya wazala unyana wakhe uDaniel, kodwa ngo-1942 baqhawula. Ngelo xesha wayesebenza njengomdlali wepiyano kwi-cabaret kwaye wamkela ipittance (ngokukhawuleza ephupha ukuba ngumdlali kunye nokuqonda iphupha lakhe), kwaye le ntokazi ayithandi, ngenxa yokuba wayekholelwa ukuba amaphupho kaLouis ayinasiphelo kwaye awunamsebenzi, kwaye onke amaxesha amhlambalaza ngokuba ayikwazi ukuxhasa intsapho, ekugqibeleni uGermain wanquma ukukhangela umntu onokuxhasa kakuhle intsapho kunye nendlela ezahlukana ngayo.
Xa uJeanne wafumanisa ukuba uLouis wayengazange ahlukanise nomfazi wakhe wokuqala, wamkhathaza kwaye isibini esithile sasiqalile ukuhlukana, kodwa umtshato wenziwa (kunye nokugcinwa okunye ukuba ukuzonwabisa akuyi kubona umfazi wakhe wokuqala okanye kunye nendodana yakhe, noLouis bavuma). UJeanne wahlula i-Funes kuyo yonke into eyayimnxulumene nomfazi wakhe wokuqala. ULouis kwafuneka enze ukhetho ngaphandle komntwana wokuqala, kodwa ngenxa yowesifazane owayekholelwa kuye. Kungekudala u-Funes wazala oonyana ababini - uPatrick no-Olivier.
Nguye uJeanne owaba ngumfazi oye, ngokukholelwa kwintente yomyeni wakhe, wamenza i-superstar. ULouis sele sele engaphezu kwama-30, akanalo ithuba lokuba ngumdlali, kodwa uyaqhubeka ephupha ngalo. Wonke umntu ujikeleze wathi akayi kuphumelela, kodwa wayekholelwa kuye kwaye wamkhuthaza ukuba ahambe ngaphambili. Umfazi wesibini womculi wayenomntu wesinyithi kwaye wamcebisa ukuba aye kuzo zonke iziganeko ezinxulumene nomboniso wefilimu kwaye apho ukuseka imibutho kunye nolwazi. Ngaloo ndlela, ngowe-1946, uLouis uza kufakwa kwifilimu yakhe yokuqala (isilingo seBarzon). Umdlali weqonga waqala ngeendima ezincinci kwaye wakhupha ngokukhawuleza.
Ekuqaleni, wayemthanda kakhulu amancinci kumlawuli, kwaye wayefaniswa ne-clown. Kwiminyaka eyi-10 ezayo, wayekho, ekuthethwa ngaye, ehlangene kwisihlwele kwaye waphoqeleka ukuba asebenze ixesha elithile kwimisebenzi emininzi ukunyusa intsapho yakhe. Umhlaziyidi wenza izinto ezininzi: wayengumhlobiso wokuboniswa, wabhenkcela ukuthengiswa kwemoto kunye nokunye. Kukho ukungabikho kwemali kunye nokugcinwa okubukhali kuyo yonke into. Kwindlu encinane kuJeanne noLouis, ubomi bungazange bunzima, kodwa umfazi akazange abuze umyeni wakhe ukuba alahle amaphupha akhe aze afumane umsebenzi ohlawulelwayo.
Kwaye ekugqibeleni, ngowe-1958, xa sele sele esele ngaphaya kwe-40, wafumana indima ephambili kwifilimu "Akabanjwanga, kungekhona isela." Ewe, ke kwaqala, wamenywa kwiindima eziphambili, wabona italente.
Abantu babemthanda kakhulu amaqhawe e-Funes kunye nomntu ongenakubekezelela, kodwa onomusa entliziyweni. Kanye kunye nemisebenzi yokuqala ebalulekileyo, kwafika imali enkulu kuye. Emva kokuphantse kubomi bonke bexinzelelo, waba ngumcebisi omkhulu. Ukususela kuloo mzuzu kwakuba kubhaliwe malunga nomdlali ocebileyo waseFransi, ngelixa ekhankanya ukunyamezela kwakhe. Phantse bonke ubomi bakhe wayehlala efuna kwaye umkhuba wokusindisa, njengoko bathi, waba ngumntu wesibini.
Ngamanye amaxesha wayenyanzelekisa abantwana bakhe ukuba babuyisele ukuthenga kwabo kwivenkile baze banikezele ukuthenga into encinci. Wonke umntu wayemjonga njengoScrooge, kodwa bambalwa kakhulu abantu bayazi ukuba wayebandakanyekile ekuthandeni kwaye wathenga iifesimesi zeKrisimesi zonke iKrismesi. Emva kokuba athole inqaba yaseChateau de Clermont (kanye eyayiphethwe yintsapho yomfazi wayo), waqala ukubanceda ngenkuthalo imali kubo bonke abasebenzi beenkonzo. Emva kokuba athole inqaba yaseChateau de Clermont, isihlobo sakhe somfazi saqala ukumhlonela kwaye akazange asigxeke ngokukhetha kwakhe.
I-Château de Clermont ngoku ikwabanye abantu, kodwa ngelo xesha kwakuyidleke yentsapho yoLwazi. Kufanelekile ukukhankanya ukuba izinto zokuzonwabisa zichitha ubomi bakhe bonke ukuthetha kunye nendodana yakhe yokuqala, nangona le nto yayifihla yonke indlela evela kwintsapho yakhe yesibili. Wayesoloko, ebudeni bendodana yakhe kwakukho ixesha elibalulekileyo, njengomtshato, ukuzalwa kwabazukulu, njalonjalo. Umculi wonk 'ubomi bakhe waqhekeka phakathi kweentsapho ezimbini, kwaye emva kokufa kwakhe ubudlelwane phakathi kwezihlobo zakhe bubuhlungu ngakumbi. Umfazi wesibini, naphi na apho wayekhona khona, ufihla yonke into yokuba umyeni wakhe wayenentsapho phambi kwakhe, kwaye akazange athumele isimemo kumngcwabo womntwana wakhe wokuqala.
Unyana omncinci kaLouis wayenomhlobo omhle we-hero-lover kwaye wayedla ngokuphindaphindiweyo kwifilimu kunye noyise kwiifilimu, kunye ne-Funes ephupha ukuba ubukhosi bobukhosi buza kusekwa. Iphupha lokuhlambalaza malunga nomsebenzi obenzileyo wabhidlika xa unyana wakhe omncinane evuma ukuba amaphupha adibanisa ubomi bakhe kunye nezulu, kodwa kungekhona kwinqanaba. Umzukulwana we-Funes - uLaurent, unyana womntwana wakhe wokuqala, kodwa waba ngumdlali kwaye uqhubeka nemisebenzi yakhe kule ndawo.
Umdlali waseneminyaka engama-60 ubudala, ngeli xesha leminyaka ethatha umhlalaphantsi, kodwa wayehlala nje kwi-zenith yokuthandwa kwakhe kwaye wazama ukudubula ngakumbi ukushiya into emva kwakhe. Wayesoloko edla, ngenxa yokuba wayithatha ngokugqithiseleyo ubuchule bakhe, yingakho engazange aphile ixesha elide. Yonke imisebenzi yakhe, wayethetha phambi komkakhe ngokuhlwa emva komsebenzi kwaye wayehlala ekhona ekubanjweni kwefilimu elandelayo ngokuthatha inxaxheba. Abaninzi babengayiqondi ubudlelwane babo, kuba uJeanne wayeyinto yonke kuye - nomfazi wakhe, nonina, kunye nomninimzi kunye nommeli. Wadutshulwa ngo-3-4 iifilimu ngonyaka, wanyulwa ngamancedo, kwaye ngaphezu kweyodwa wayekhubazekile ngexesha lokudlala.
Ngowe-1975, wahlaselwa yintliziyo, kwaye oogqirha bathi xa eqhubeka edlala, uya kufa nje. Umdlali ongenakukwazi ukucinga ngobomi bakhe ngaphandle kwesigaba, nangona wayenobungozi, wathola amandla okwenza into entsha kwaye waqhutyelwa yintsimi, watsalwa iil ros, kwaye wayobetha. Kungekudala wayekhathele kwezi zifundo waza wabuyela ekudutshulweni, nangona kunjalo, kwakusekwe oogqirha abaninzi, kuba wakwazi ukufa nanini na. Ngowe-1982, wabulala kwifilimu yakhe yakamuva "iGqweme kunye neGendarmer."
Emva kokufayiliza ifilimu, wabuyela kwinqaba yakhe waza waqalisa ukukhankanya i-roses. Kwakumakhaza kwaye wayegula ngengomkhuhlane, okubangela ukuhlaselwa kwentliziyo entsha, emva koko umculi omkhulu wafa. Wangcwatyelwa kufuphi neCâteau de Clermont.
