English term or phrase: Overwhelming
Ovo je ustvari naziv pozorišnog komada Džej Ti Rodžersa, "The Overwhelming", o američkoj porodici koja se doseljava u Ruandu neposredno pre genocida. Da li znate da li je već i kako on preveden na srpski? Ako ne, imate li predlog, jer ga ja nisam čitao/gledao?

Explanation:
Overpowering in effect or strength
Morton Benson
overwhelming = neodoljiv, porazan

Prvi prevod bi važio npr. u varijanti "overwhelming need to do something"

Međutim, kada je reč o ovom kontekstu... u celosti naginjem ka drugoj strani - porazan; poražavajući.

As Jack involves himself in the local politics, he discovers a pattern of brutality and beliefs that jeopardizes the lives of everyone around him.

I ovde nešto duže kritike (mada citiram samo deliće u prilog tezi da se radi o nečemu poražavajućem)

To its credit, The Overwhelming for the most part avoids such 'Heart of Darkness' prejudice, and tries to explore how it is that human beings like us could commit such acts.

how effectively the audience is transported physically into the gaping mouth of Hell that Rwanda became.
Here we have the madness of the situation, a situation that seemingly no-one and everyone wanted. The simmering tensions between the Hutus and the Tutsis, co-existing before neighbours turned on neighbours.

And here too we have the lack of interest and understanding that the West showed the situation. The colonial French meddling as if still in power and the Americans unconcerned.... His frustration is palpable.

When you grasp the absolute enormity of the subterranean tectonic movement of this volcanic eruption of greed, anger and stupidity,
fuelling a killing spree of nearly a million people in 100 days, then you will be able to grasp the meaning of the play's title – overwhelming. I
think Linda is a regular person who gets completely overwhelmed by a torrent of evil that none of my generation in the West have most likely ever had the misfortune to experience first hand. In a genocide, happy endings, narrow escapes and have-a-go heroes are a great improbability.

Explanation:
Ово је реч која се користи када се показује снага некога или нечега која надвладава или савладава све друго, па зато мислим да је ово можда најбољи одговарајучи превод када се узме у обзир да се мора дати назив филму.

agree  Slavko Majski
2 hrs
  -> Nije najpreciznije za "The Overwhelming" ali mislim da je najprikladnije. Hvala!

agree  Strahinja Lukić (X): Po citiranim opisima filma, dosad najprikladniji predlog. Mada će se za naslov komada verovatno tražiti nešto "zvučnije".
13 hrs
  -> Možda "živo blato" ili nešto slično budući da se ovewhelming može uporediti i sa "sinking in quicksand". Mada je overwhelming pre "drowning in a tidal wave" - kad te nešto "poklopi od gore" ali za to nemam ideja.. :)
