This post viewing task has been given to the students to overcome from a traditional mindset that mere watching of movie is not enough. One must should watch movies with minute observation and try to connect events with the contemporary time. For more details about the given task Click Here...
• Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?
According to me Director don't wanted to divert the attention of audience. Otherwise the main intention might be subdued. Because for mere audience it becomes more difficult to understand the concept of it. Another interpretation we can give is that if your main content is powerful then there is no need of any other unnecessary things which may subdued the main motif.

• Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? Where you able to feel it while reading the text?
Yes, there are so many scenes where we feel the effect of menace. We can find the effect of menace from the starting of the play. Where pause creates the fear.
• If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie?
Yes, there are so many scenes where we feel the effect of menace. We can find the effect of menace from the starting of the play. Where pause creates the fear.
Same way knocking of the door also creates the fear in person's mind. Harsh sound gives the horrible feeling. There are many other scenes like interrogation scene, a scene where light goes off, etc. But yes compare to text film gives more fearful effect than text.
• Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Where you able to feel the same while reading the text?
Yes, throughout the movie we can feel the lurking danger. Like knocking the door, in the game of blindman's buff, etc. But in reading the text we can't feel the same. Because in movie we finds the benefits of audio visual effects.
- 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.
The first scene shows the gender gap. Like husband stands for an intellectuality, or we can say he is more near to the outer world. Where's wife stands for household works, and She has nothing to do with the outer world.
- 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?
During the whole movie we can find an important role of camera. Here camera is described as a third eye of McCann. And now Stanley can't escape from his trap.
• 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?
Yes, we can see this thing in Stanley's context. As we knows that Petey and Meg helps him in all his works. But when Stanley was in danger that time no one helps him. Somehow they neglects the thing. We can see this hidden agenda in power centric nation.
• 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)?
Obviously yes, this movie helped me a lot in developing the different insight of watching movies. By reading we may not get exact effects of it. We can feel the pinteresque qualities in the movie like pause, silence, lurking danger like knocking and in the game of blindman's buff. Throughout the movie shrill voice gives more fearful effect.
• With which of the following observations you agree:
o “It probably wasn't possible to make a satisfactory film of "The Birthday Party."
o “It's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin”
o “It probably wasn't possible to make a satisfactory film of "The Birthday Party."
o “It's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin”
I am agree with the second view because it is quite good film. Most of the theme remains same regarding the text. Normally we can't even think of making film on this kind of topics where nothing happens. But to put this things in visual director has done great job.
• If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie?
If I was director or screenplay writer I don't think there is any needs of change.
• Who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?
My choice of actors :
* Stanley - Rajkummar Rao
* Goldberg - Sidharth Malhotra
* McCann - Varun Dhawan
* Lulu - Shraddha Kapoor
* Petey - Paresh Rawal
* Meg - Shabana Azmi
