Ngengomvulo, incwadi yeMemorirov Allen ibizwa ngokuba yiNdawo ayithethiswa ngayo, apho umlawuli odumileyo uthetha ngobomi bakhe, eqala ngokubhekisele kwi-cinematic ye-cinematic, kunye nomsebenzi weqonga. Kwangelo xesha, umbhali akazange abashiye abanye oogxa bakhe, owayenguTimota uShalam, owayedlala eyona filimu yokugqibela ngo "yemvula yemvula eNew York".
Ngokunxulumene nesikrelemnqa esinayo iHarvey Weintein kunye nefuthe lolo shishini lusekuhlaleni xa iyonke, iAllen yaqalisa ukunxibelelana nentiyo. Inyani yile yokuba ngo-1992 umlawuli watyholwa ngomkhosi wesityalo wobukulo olinyusayo kaDylan, owayekho ngelo xesha iminyaka esixhenxe. Ekupheleni kuka-2017, uRiprow wakhumbuza uluntu malunga nesi siganeko, emva kwe-Artias abaninzi bagwetywa esidlangalaleni, kwaye iAmazon Amphunga ukuvelisa usuku lwemvula eNew York. Ke yena uShalam, wagweba ne-allen, kwaye intlawulo yakhe kwifilimu idweliswe ngenkcitho yombutho ukulwa nobundlobongela obuphathelele kwezesondo.
Kwincwadi yakhe entsha, iAllen, nangona kunjalo, ibanga ukuba izenzo zeShalme zavavanywa ngokungafanelekanga, kodwa iKorasty: Ke, umqeqeshi oselula wafuna ukuvakaliswa ngu-Oscar olandelayo:
Bonke oonobumba abaphambili '"ngemini yemvula eNew York" babonisa ukuba banobugqwetha, ke ndonwabile ukusebenzisana nabo. Emva kwexesha, uTimoti wayebhengeze ukuba ahlaziye ukuthatha inxaxheba kwifilimu yam, emva kokuba enike intlawulo yakhe kumnquba wakhe. Kodwa kwincoko kunye nodadewethu, wavuma ukuba uthathe inyathelo elinje ukonyusa amathuba akhe ukuba "uOscar" ngendima e "Nditsalele umnxeba ngegama lakhe." Ndikunye nearhente yakhe, wagqiba kwelokuba ukusebenza kwam kuya kumnika ithuba.
Kwangelo xesha, uAllen waphawula ngokwahlukeneyo kangangokuba uyakholiswa ngumsebenzi we-Shalam kwiseti kwaye engazisoli ngokubambisana nomdlali weqonga.
