Gukina Yesu byamubereye nk’umusaraba:Ubuhamya bwa Robert Powell

Mu mateka ya sinema ya gikirisitu, filime Jesus of Nazareth yasohotse mu 1977 ni imwe mu zifite izina rikomeye cyane. Yabaye impinduramatwara mu kugaragaza inkuru y’ubuzima bwa Yesu Kristo. Nyamara, inyuma y’iyo shusho nziza, hari inkuru y’akababaro, urujijo, n’ingaruka ziremereye ku buzima bw’umukinnyi Robert Powell, wagize amahirwe n’umusaraba wo gukina Yesu.

Uko byatangiye: Umwanya utangaje

Robert Powell yari umukinnyi w’umwuga mu Bwongereza, ariko ataragera ku rwego mpuzamahanga. Igihe umuyobozi w’uru rukurikirane, Franco Zeffirelli, yashakaga umukinnyi ushobora guha Yesu ishusho y’ubugwaneza, ubuhanga, n’ubwitonzi, yaje kubona Powell nyuma yo kumwitegereza mu kindi gakinamico.

Powell yatsinze ikizamini atavuze ijambo na rimwe—imbonankubone ye, amaso areba kure kandi atekereza, byatumye Zeffirelli amuhitamo atazuyaje.

Kwambikwa ishusho ya Yesu: Ibyishimo n’umusaraba

Filime yakunzwe cyane ku isi hose. Robert Powell yahise aba ikirangirire ku rwego mpuzamahanga. Imyambarire ye, uko yateguraga ijwi rye, n’uko yitwaraga mu myanya yose, byatumye benshi batangira kumufata nk’”Yesu nyirizina.”

Kuva ubwo, mu buzima busanzwe, abantu batangiye kumusenga, bamwe bakamuhobera barira, abandi bakamwambaza nk’Imana. Hari aho yajyaga mu muhanda, abantu bakunamuka cyangwa bakaramya imbere ye.

Ibi byamubangamiye cyane. Mu kiganiro yamaze igihe kinini atemera kugirana n’itangazamakuru, Powell yaje kuvuga ati:

“Nabaye imbata y’umwanya nakinnye. Nari narahindutse umuntu abandi bifuza gukoraho, aho kumfata nk’umuntu usanzwe. Hari igihe byambereye umutwaro ukomeye cyane.”

Imbogamizi z’ubuzima nyuma ya filime

Kwanga kwakira indi myanya: Nyuma yo gukina Yesu, Robert Powell yagiye ahura n’imbogamizi zidasanzwe mu mwuga we. Abayobozi b’amafilime ntibamubonaga muri myanya y’abandi bantu basanzwe. Bavugaga ko isura ye yamaze kwitiranwa na Yesu ku buryo yakina umwicanyi cyangwa undi muntu mubi bikaba ibitari bushoboke.

Ubuzima bwo kwihisha itangazamakuru: Powell yamaze igihe kinini adashaka gutanga ibiganiro. Yagiraga ubwoba bwo kuvugira mu ruhame, kuko bumvaga ko ibitekerezo bye bisa nk’aho “bigira icyo bihungabanya ku ishusho ya Yesu”.

Guhagarika ibikorwa bya sinema: Nubwo atigeze ahagarika burundu, yagiye akora ibitaramenyekana cyane cyangwa se agahitamo gukina ibiganiro ndangamateka aho atagaragara cyane.

Ubuhamya n’ubutumwa yasize

Robert Powell yaje gusobanura ko uko yitwaga Yesu bitari ikibazo cy’uko abantu bamukundaga, ahubwo byari ikibazo cy’uko abantu batabashaga gutandukanya umukinnyi n’uwakinwe. Yagize ati:

“Gukina Yesu byari umugisha ariko kandi byaje nko kumfunga mu yindi si. Nifuzaga ko abantu baza kureba umukinnyi, ariko bo baje kureba uwo bizera.”

Yasabye abantu kwiga gutandukanya umuhanzi n’igihangano, kuko niba umuntu yakina Yesu neza, bidakuraho ko ari umuntu usanzwe ukeneye ubuzima busanzwe, agakunda, agakomereka, akanakora amakosa nk’abandi bose.

Impamvu kumwita Yesu byamubangamiraga

Yatakaje umudendezo nk’umuntu
Abantu batangiye kumufata nk’umwere udakora amakosa. Igihe cyose yabaga ari mu ruhame, abantu baramutakaga, bararira, bamusaba imigisha, ndetse bamwe bakaramya imbere ye nk’uko babigenza ku Mana. Ibi byatumaga adashobora kuba umuntu usanzwe.

Yateshejwe indi myanya mu gukina filime
Yavuze ko nyuma yo gukina Yesu, abayobozi ba filime bamubonaga nk’utari gukina indi myanya. Byabaye nk’aho ashyizwe mu cyiciro kimwe gusa—icyo kuba Yesu. Nta kindi yari yemerewe gukina mu buryo bwo mu mutwe w’abareba cyangwa abamukoresha.

Yahuye n’igitutu cy’isi yose
Buri gihugu yasuraga, abantu bamusangaga bamufata nk’igitangaza. Abantu bamusabaga ko abasengera cyangwa ngo abakoreho. Yumvaga ashyizwe mu mwanya atari we

Amagambo ye bwite yagaragazaga uko byamubabazaga:

1. “I stopped being Robert Powell. I became Jesus to the world, and I couldn’t escape him.”
   (“Narahagaritse kuba Robert Powell. Nahindutse Yesu ku isi, kandi sinari ngishoboye kumuhunga.”)
2. “There were moments I wished I hadn’t played the role.”
   (“Hari ibihe nifuzaga ko ntari kwiyemeza gukina uwo mwanya.”)
3. “People didn’t see me anymore, they saw only what they wanted: their image of Christ.”
   (“Abantu ntibabonaga jyewe nk’umuntu. Babonaga icyo bifuzaga kubona: ishusho yabo ya Kristo.”)
4. “I lived in the shadow of Jesus for years.”
   (“Namaze imyaka myinshi ntuye mu gicucu cya Yesu.”)
