Okuhlanganisa konke ukuphinda kulandiswe yizithombe zikaCollodi ezingacimeki: umfana wokhuni; ikhilikithi ekhulumayo; ikhala eliba lide uma uqamba amanga. Kodwa ukugijima kanye nakho konke lokho kuyiqiniso elinamandla. “Ngicabanga ukuthi ukwesaba izwe labantu abadala,” kusho u-del Toro, “lo mbono wokuthi uphonswa ezweni lezindinganiso zabantu abadala okungekona nje kuphela okunzima ukukuqonda kodwa ekugcineni ezibonakala zingamanga. Zonke izinto abantu abadala abakutshela zona abazange baziqonde. Engxenyeni yokuqala yencwadi, yizigebengu ezimbalwa ezidala inkinga ku-Pinocchio. Ngesiwombe sesibili onogwaja abane abansundu bangene nebhokisi ekamelweni lakhe ukuze bamthathe esaphila, kanti ijaji (okungenzeka ukuthi liyigorila) limphonse ejele ngoba uyisisulu sokweba. Nakuba lezi ziqephu zimangalisa, ukwesaba ezivusayo, umuzwa wokulahleka nokungabi namandla emphakathini wabantu abadala lapho kungekho lutho oluzwakalayo, kubonakala kakhulu kunezintambo ezihlelekile nezinengqondo ezincwadini eziningi zezingane.
Okufanayo kuya kumlingiswa omaphakathi. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi uPinocchio ufuna ukuba ngumfana wangempela, kodwa isizathu esiyinhloko sokuthi kungani ekhulekelwa iminyaka engaba ngu-150 ukuthi uhlala engokoqobo njenganoma ubani ezincwadini. Kunokuba abe iqhawe elinesibindi, elihloniphekile, u-Pinocchio udelela, unobugovu, akanangqondo, unelukuluku, uyakhohlwa, ukhohliswa isilingo kalula, uyaphuza ukufunda emaphutheni akhe, uyacasuka lapho izinto zingahambi kahle, kodwa unomusa, unenhloso enhle, futhi uyakwazi ukuba nesibindi. . Ngokhuni noma cha, wayengeke abe ngumuntu kakhulu kunalokho.
I-Pinocchio kaGuillermo del Toro ikhishwe ku-Netflix ngoDisemba 9.
