Reviews on The Birthday Party movie










 Here I am giving my interpretation about the play ‘The Birthday Party’. It is very true that while adapting any writing as movie elision is necessary. Here we can take one example that Salman Rushdie says in Attenborough’s Gandhi’ and other example is Twilight movie which was made on Stefani Mayer’s Twilight novel. Here I would like to say that I have not read whole novel but I have seen each part of this novel in film version. But I want to say that I am reading this novel in my leisure time. We all know that Lulu is not a major character in the play. In the play I can’t find that Lulu’s character is necessary in the play. In the play we saw that Stanly was trying to seduce her means here we can say that in the modern age woman also suffers from sexual harassment and some other things. We find that in the play Pinter sketches her character in dumbness and we can say that here Lulu’s character represents those women who can’t do any intellectual work. Yes it is true that when we watched the movie we feel bore and thoughtless. We find some meaningless activities in the movie. We find some famous scenes in the interrogation for several reasons. What we find most protuberant is Pinter’s use of language and overlapping dialogue. Yes, of course, at some level movie is giving the effect of menace but reading and watching both are different activities. I think that reading is more effective activity than watching movie. While we read interrogation scene McCann and Goldberg force Stanley to sit down and they asked questions. And readers have no idea about the situations. Movie is faithful to the original play in my point of view.  There is no need of any major change but I want to change Lulu’s character means give some more dialogue to this character in the play.
