Here my interpretation regarding  the play ‘’Birthday Party’’


‘’There are no hard distinctions between what is real and what is unreal ,nor between what is true and what is false,.A thing is not necessarily either true or false; it can be both true and false''.   -Harold Pinter

The play ‘’Birthday Party’’ Pinter’s first full length play.In this play has allegory of artist and comedy of Menace is dramatic styles of writing .He gives some interpretation(image)of Social,political,and philosophical visual image in this play ‘’Birthday Party’’.



(1) Why are two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie?

My point of view shows the reality of modern society.Lulu character is always inspiration of men .first we see that lulu talk to Stanley and she inspiration them.but that time Stanley ignore to lulu, may be lulu has become a prodtitude. And Lulu’s scene might
be omitted the reason that society may not accept those scene. And showing also such vulgar in movie in movie may creates problem. we find some meaningless activity in movie. And we find some effective and famous scene s in the interrogation scene also in several reason.

(2) Is movie successful in giving us the effect of menace? Where you able to feel it while reading the text?

It has been said that movie always provides better understanding rather than reading .The same result with the play ‘’Birthday Party’’.In reading you may not feel the same kind of fear and menace,the fear of unknown danger ,but while watching movie remain there and as well as in the mind of audience.The menace evolves from actual violence in the play or from an underlying sense of violence throughout the play.This feeling of ‘’Menace’’establishes a strong connection between character’s predicament and audience’s personal anxieties.
In this movie is successful in making of menace , we constantly remains in the fear that what the two stranger will do with Stanley,the sound of the paper torn out by McCann,the drum played by Stanley until the break it out. And the real menace ,in play arise in the Black out scene,imagine you are out of your home in dark night ,nothing is visible ,dark we feel more fear.and at the end the scene where all the harmful actions took place .Lulu seduced ,Stanley beaten etc..
(3) Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Where you able to feel the same while reading the text
Yes , I feel the lurking danger while
viewing  the movie. I feel that something will happen. when suddenly knocking happen ,feel the effect of lurking danger,but not in the text. In that newspaper it is symbolically to hide the reality.

(4) 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.
 In the very beginning of the play we see the one of the old character in the play,petey is reading news paper.this news paper reading  as a technique used by many writer to hide the face,in this way hiding self from the reality.McCann  signifies the insignicant of the news paper, it also signify that petey is helpless against the two strangers,tearing out of the character.
 (5) 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? 
While viewing the film camera speaks everything .when camera is positioned over the head of McCann when he is playing Blind man’s Buff which shows that McCann is power position and top with a view of room like a cage (trap) when Stanley is playing it which means Stanley is caged by two unknown strangers.we understood that Stanley is going to kick him. And we can seen as artist Webber is restricted by society. 
(6)  "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).
Yes I agree with this point it happen in the movie as while movie use only single small room.in this movie  in many political and social context.it read Pinter’s biographical reading we found that many scenes say that political games, and society has to bad  and not any place of artist in society.
  • (7)·         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)?
  • Pinter  known for his use of writing play techniques like Pintresque, pause,Silence,lurking danger and menace etc. In this all techniques are use in this play and better understood by the film,than reading the text.because of visual effects more effective  than reading the text. And read the play may be better visual of characters and dual quality gives in the play and how film has to better understand the play.
(8) If I am screenplay writer or director.I have only change of this film ‘’The Birthday Party’’ in this play Lulu has to inspiration of artist.but I changing  of that lulu inspiration  of Stanley bad thinks and lulu work as detective agents. She is know about  that Stanley,end of  Lulu, Goldberg,McCann all as friend and work together in detective agents Lulu has to arrest Stanley know about to lulu has detective agents and Stanley rape to lulu.
If I am  movie maker in Indian cinema that I choose..
Stanley –Amir Khan
Lulu –Priyanka Chopra
Goldberg –Imraan Hashmi
McCann –Arjun Kapoor
      
Thank you…….
