'The Birthday Party

 In this movie, Lulu is represented as an inspiration of an artist, McCann and Goldberg as the traditions in the society and Stanley as free thinker. To create the effect of losing of vision more intensely, these two scenes may have been omitted from the movie.


 Menace has uncertainty which means combination of tragedy and comedy. When the long conversation goes between McCann, Stanley and Goldberg, we feel that Stanley has a hidden past which we are not aware. so here we can find the effect of menace.

 When lights went off during the birthday party, we feel lurking danger and we feel that party will never end.


 Newspaper can be seen from both sides means positively and negatively. Watching from positive side, it gives us information and tells us the reality but when we see the negative side, we can hide yourself behind it. Petey is reading the newspaper which means he is facing the reality but in front of Meg, he is hiding himself. The turning of newspaper by McCann symbolizes that he too is broken from inside.


 Camera is the chief thing to make a movie. The person who is on power position is always at the Centre and is shown by the camera mainly and so camera is focusing over the head of McCann. The view of the room is like a cage which symbolizes that Stanley is trapped by strangers who were torturing him.


Yes, it happens in the movie. Art is represented by Stanley, truth is presented by Petey, and politics is presented by McCann and Goldberg. 


 While watching the movie, we get the concept more clear rather than reading. While viewing the movie, we can feel the "Pause" but this may not happen while reading. 


 I think that the statement is correct that " it's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin".

 This movie is the best made movie by Pinter so I would not like to make any changes.
