MemorialeSardoShoah | Jun 20, 2020 |  Tämä oli Hustonille viimeinen pisara ja kontrolloidakseen omia elokuviaan hän perusti niille oman tuotantoyhtiön. Jo sen ensimmäisestä elokuvasta Afrikan kuningatar (The African Queen, 1951) tuli kuolematon klassikko. Afrikan kuningatar yhdistelee luontevasti komediaa, rakkaustarinaa ja seikkailuelokuvaa vaikka käsittelee samalla kaikkia näitä aineksia hyvin epätavallisesti. Noin viisikymppisinä rakastavaisina on nimittäin juoppo jokikippari ja siveä lähetyssaarnaajan tytär, tarinan näyttämönä Afrikan jokiviidakot ja vihollisena ensimmäisen maailmansodan saksalainen sotalaiva, jonka sankarikaksikko päättää pakoretkensä aikana upottaa. C.S. Foresterin romaaniin perustuva Afrikan kuningatar on “feelgood-elokuvien” perusteos, jonka pääosissa Humphrey Bogart ja Katharine Hepburn tekevät uransa parhaimpiin kuuluvat roolityöt. Bogart sai osastaan Oscarin ja Hepburn olisi ansainnut omansa mutta ylsi vain ehdokkaaksi. Kaksikko pelaa upeasti yhteen toisiaan aluksi inhoavina mutta matkan koettelemusten ja vaarojen vuoksi toisiinsa lähentyvinä sankareina. Huston hyödyntää taitavasti aitoja Afrikan maisemia ja hänen kerrontansa on hämmästyttävän vapautunutta kun ottaa huomioon kuinka hankalissa olosuhteissa elokuva filmattiin. Kuvausryhmän kaikki jäsenet kärsivät alkeellisista oloista ja paikallisista sairauksista, paitsi Huston ja Bogart, jotka taas muiden riesaksi asti ryyppäsivät koko ajan. Elokuvan tekovaiheista on kirjoitettu monta kirjaa, joista tunnetuimpia ovat Katharine Hepburnin “Miten menin Afrikkaan Bogartin, Bacallin ja Hustonin kanssa ja olin tulla hulluksi” sekä käsikirjoittaja Peter Viertelin fiktiivinen teos “Valkoinen metsästäjä, musta sydän”, jonka Clint Eastwood on filmannut.

 This is a comedy, a love story, and a tale of adventure, and it is one of the most charming and entertaining movies ever made. The director, John Huston, has written that the comedy was not present either in the novel by C. S. Forester or in the original screenplay by James Agee, John Collier, and himself, but that it grew out of the relationship of Hepburn and Bogart, who were just naturally funny when they worked together. Hepburn has revealed that the picture wasn’t going well until Huston came up with the inspiration that she should think of Rosie as Mrs. Roosevelt. After that, Bogart and Hepburn played together with an ease and humor that makes their love affair—the mating of a forbidding, ironclad spinster and a tough, gin-soaked riverboat captain—seem not only inevitable, but perfect. The story, set in central Africa in 1914, is so convincingly acted that you may feel a bit jarred at the end; after the lovers have brought the boat, the African Queen, over dangerous rapids to torpedo a German battleship, Huston seems to stop taking the movie seriously.

At the start of World War I, German imperial troops burn down a mission in Africa. The mission's reverend was so overtaken with disappointment that he passes away. Shortly after his well-educated, snooty sister Rose buries her brother, she must leave on the only available transport, the 'African Queen' steamboat. The boat is manned by the ill-mannered bachelor, Charlie. Together they embark on a long difficult journey, without any comfort. Rose grows determined to assist in the British war effort and presses Charlie until he finally agrees and together they steam up the Ulana encountering an enemy fort, raging rapids, bloodthirsty parasites and an endlessly branching stream which always seems to lead them to what appear to be impenetrable swamps. Despite their opposing personalities, the two grow closer to each other and ultimately carry out their plan to take out a German warship. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
