Film-Waiting for Godot(2001)
Film always gives better sense of understanding the play.
Play is the form of acting and film is renoved form of play.
When we read the play some of the time we may fail to imagine
such scene.
Waiting for Godot The film was directed by Michael Lindsay and
released in 2001.
The Written play- Waiting for Godot
When we read the play we have our own platform where every
characters perform the way we want.
During the performance we may not pay much attention towards the
little dialogue which may have some dipper meaning.
Comparison between Film and Written Play-Waiting For Godot
FILM(2001)
Film is fully adoption of the written play.
When we watch the film we never find it is a play but it seems
like a story of film.
Setting,Dialogues, Acting, etc. are very well represented.
WRITTEN PLAY
As a absurd play there is nothing like rising action, climax,
falling action etc.
Dialogues are very important which always have some dipper
meaning.
Where Film looks better than the written play..
Lucky ordered Pozzo, the way he think get the perfect sense.
When Pozzo speaks, he speaks seems like first time in his life
he got chance to speak.
The repatation of dialogues and actions are performed in
excellent way.
Where written play is better than Film...
The producer have shown according to his imagination.
Some of the dialogues have deep meaning which we can analyse
after reading of the play.
In the written play get chance to pay attention on every
words.
As a student of Literature...
Film is always better way to understand the play.
When The play Waiting For Godot performed first time in the
theater people have enjoyed a lot.
After understanding all the theories its nearly to impossible to
enjoy as film only.
Theme of Nothingness and Absurdity..
The written play is there in the syllabus not the film.
Absurdity get better sense through film and nothingness get
better sense through written play.
Thank you...
