This task given as for new way looking movie and play with certain things which may be normally never notify by audience and reader's inner side of mind. Last time I saw very short movie only 30 seconds with some questions and confusion but here I am going to discuss on one interesting play of Harold Pinter.
Harold Pinter was born in 1930 and frequently comments on the irrelevancy of everyday speech. He was an English playwrighter, screenwriter, actor, director, political activist, and a poet. He was one of the most influential modern British dramatist who wrote for round about 50 years. His best known plays include “ The birthday party” (1958), “The caretaker” (1959), “The homecoming” (1964) and “The betrayal ( 1978) each of which he adopted to film. Some of the uses of Pinter’s techniques such as dramatic pause and the mixture of tension comedy have staples in theatre film. Pinter in his speech at the time of Noble prize:
“ I have often been asked how my plays come about. I cannot say. Nor can i ever sum up my play, except to say that this is what happened. That is what they said. That is what they did”.
He was also known for the “Theatre of the absurd” , that was a reaction to dramatic forms and theatrical conversations that had come before it and also reaction to the events on the II World War. In 2005, he was awarded the Nobel prise for literature including Tony award.
About the Play:-
Birthday Party, In act one was started with the mourning time in play Herold Pinter not uses out side of home but in movie he uses setting out side of as a street. He shows camera effect as a perspective of car driver and with disgusting sound use with intentionally because of this effect he make his movie powerful than the play. Conversation of Meg and Petey tries to convey a unknown fear what was going to happening starting of the movie don’t show face of car driver so it is also symbol of unknown fear.
And also mirror also a symbol when Meg see her face in mirror she looks happy but mirror show always unrealistic image. In movie voice of airplane landing it also shows threatening effect of world war. Herold Pinter writes about his own past and childhood experience. Windows and door are also uses for symbol. And Standly constant fearful one after another way MCCan convinces to Gold berg you have to do it is your duty. And MC Cann was constantly observing so it is also show his fearful mind.
In starting of act two MC Cann broken a news paper cutting it shows inner stress and he avoid Standly. And forcefully celebration of Standly’ of Birthday . How a forcefully society make you celebrity so after celebration keep our self ready for downfall and behind on it comedy of menace. Society don’t leave alone as a artist so this event was free to interpret that he may also singed some contract also. Mac Cann and Goldberg ask question to Standly and Standly not give proper answer. So it shows a power and lower position.
How a one artist breakdown himself behalf of society. The dialogue of question and answer it also shows child hood experience of Pinter When he passed from British colony he suffer a lot because of he was Jew. Pinter the way he write women character it shows that in this play women don’t like see a reality live in only illusion. And Pinter also shows that the play was constantly moved ahead perspective of Standly.
In act three as an artist Standly lost his creativity. The pieces of newspaper are also shows broken personality of Standly. So news paper was use as a symbol. The laughing of Lulu is also a sinister laughing we can compare with witch laugh in the forest. Close room and darker setting are shoes the room prison and Standly was a prisoner.
The game of Blindman’s bluff it is also very symbolic. This symbol referred theme of blindness and man groping in the darkness search for identity and search for Existential human predicament. And another was a plight of an artist. and toy drum was a symbol of a broken personality of Standly. And meg say it is still playing so after meet society as a artist he dose not make any creative art.
