Thinking activity :- The birthday party

Here I am sharing my views about the film and text of Harold Pinter's play The Birthday party. movie and play both are different but my view is movie is better than the play. Because movie is very helpful to understand the text and concept of the play. In movie two scenes are omitted because  showing such vulgar in movie may creates problem. movie also seen by children it is true that book also  read by children but it is not so vulgar for reading. so that's why Lulu's scene omitted by the director. When we read the book it is not so more

effective the comparison of movie.

1). The two scene of the lulu from the play is omitted in the film. Because she is not protagonist in this pay and lulu is a not major character in the film. so, I think no need take more scene about her character because every things is not show but hide .

2). Yes we can see the effect of menace in the movie. Movie successful in giving us the effect of menace. Dictionary meaning of menace is " A person or thing that is likely to cause harm; a threat or danger. And I feel effect of menace while during watch this movie Using same techniques like : Ringing of Ball, knocking door, McCain doing same pieces of newspaper and Stanley play the toy drum. Same effect I feel watching this movie rather than reading text.

3). I feel the lurking danger when the scene of two strangers come in Meg and petey's house. And also Stanley ask same question of meg. Why are they coming here? Who is two strangers ? So I feel two are danger for the Stanley and family.

4). Newspaper is a very symbolically present in this film. Very beginning of the film Petey reading news paper and Meg was doing kitchen work. It shows inferiority and superiority of male and female. The newspaper is a tool of communication and newspaper is used a tool of hiding the reality rather than showing.

5) .yes when camera positioned on head of McCain  who playing blind man's buff and when Stanley playing it . Someway we can see this thing tries to hide a reality and focus on it in this scene camera highlight it by throwing some focus dark corner of human being.

6) Yes ,it happen in the movie while two person come ,drum gifted to Stanley and some other scene we can connect that some basic elements and unpredictable dialogue with the movie

.

7).yes movie help in better way to understand because of some lively scene creating in movie such as ;Pause ,silence ,menace lurking ,and picturesque while reading of text it just remain limited to given in bracket, but to see in movie it impacted on viewers mind very effectively so in this context we can say movie is provide decent atmosphere for scene which ids creating in the play.

8)  i am agree with first observation “it probably wasn't possible to make satisfactory film of Birthday party”.

Because it is too much complicated to give any general statement regarding to movie review because each person has different point of view so and perception so some are appreciate and some criticize so,it contradiction way people justifying .

9) If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie? Who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?

Ans. Movie is quite good and effective to creates effect of menace though the texture of the play that is given in the film. So, I think that there is no need to change anything in it.
