Post - Viewing Task :-
1. Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?
Its depend on directors mind where is no necessity to follow original text important is the essence of tax is remained there so doing that omitted 2 scene of Lulu still the essence
2. Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? Where you able to feel it while reading the text?
Yes when we visualize something its give more effect on us just because when we reading at the time we have to imagine and our imagination fulfill what we read means at that time what come in our mind that type of image we portrait in character but when we visualize at that time we can find the original characters with their own nature and their on significant and at that time we can easily analyze them.
3. Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Were you able to feel the same while reading the text ?
while watching the film. At first, Goldberg and McCann seemed very decent and well to do people, but as the play unfolds to eyes, their hidden intentions started coming to the surface.
4. What do you read in 'newspaper' in the movie? Petey is reading newspaper to Meg, it torn into pieces by McCain, pieces are hidden by Petey in last scene.
Newspaper is used as a symbol of power. Because the one who reads newspaper holds some power position in the play. For example Petey is reading newspaper and his wife Meg is asking about the trivial things.
5. Camera is positioned over the head of McCain when he is playing Blind Man's Buff and is positioned at the top with a view of room like a cage (trap) when Stanley is playing it. What interpretations can you give to these positioning of camera?
Camera is positioned over the head of McCain when he is playing Blind Man's Buff , it means McCain don't know what's going on but still she try to cover up and she is thinking like that all is going good. When is positioned at the top with a view of room like a cage (trap) when Stanley is playing it, it means Stanley is cover up by two strangers and now there is no scope To out of the condition. It represent that went too powerful Nation are Force to third country then that country has to sacrifice.
6. "Pinter restored theater to its basic elements: an enclosed space and unpredictable dialogue, where people are at the mercy of one another and pretense crumbles." (Pinter, Art, Truth & Politics: Excerpts from the 2005 Nobel Lecture). Does this happen in the movie?
But by their behavior we come to know that they are about to do suspicious activity in the house. Their inhuman way of interrogating Stanley describes their hidden instincts
7. How does viewing movie help in better understanding of the play ‘The Birthday Party’ with its typical characteristics (like painteresque, pause, silence, menace, lurking danger)?
Yes it's a helpful to understand birthday party just because when we reading at that time we have to imagine and sometime our personal imagination also come in reading so that's why the character become very complicated to understand but when we watching movie at that time we come to know the character are visualise so they are in their characteristics and we can analyse them as they are so that's why movie is better than reading.
