Movie screening of Waiting for Godot.

On 27th september in our Department of English MKBU we have movie screening of Waiting for Godot. This movie is based on Samuel Beckett' s play Waiting for Godot.


                   



The place:-



In movie there are two tramps , Vladimir and Estragon. Both are waiting for Godot . The place where they are ,it is a barren place. Rarely you can see other people at that place.

 Around the place, we  can find debris  which shows effect of world war that what was the situation after world war.






Two tramps:-



There are 2 tramps Vladimir and Estragon who are waiting for Godot there. Vladimir called Estragon as gogo and Estragon called Vladimir ,Didi. Vladimir as an intellectual personeel here while Estragon as a fool man. He can not remember that ,why he is there,what he was done yesterday etc. He passed  the time in sleeping. When he wake up he forgot that why they are there and what they are doing.



Both of them are waiting for Godot ,who never come still the end of movie. In their life they have not any work, no family . They have no aim in life. From where they are coming,what is their family background, all this thing are not mentioned here.

In this play Beckett presents reality of human life that we are waiting for something ,for someone and life goes on but no one will come.





Theme of waiting:-



In this movie,  main theme is waiting. Vladimir and Estragon are two tramps who  are waiting for Godot and time passes but no one come. for time passes they make fun , they talked  ,danced, etc but no one come. Same in human beings life is that we are living life and waiting for death, our life and our work is just a time passes for meeting to death. Our desire are increased more and more  and day by day we are waiting for something what we want.



Symbol of Hat and Shoes:-



The symbol of hat  represented by Vladimir. Hat symbolize intellectual power . He is always thinking . The burden of thoughts, which make Vladimir to think always and not free from it.



Symbol of shoes represented by Estragon . Shoes symbolize foolishness, no thoughts.

He is always forgot all the things and waiting for sleeping. In his team also someone bear him,but who  he doesn't know.




Symbol of  tree:-



In 1st part there is one tree . The tree is barren. There is no leaves on tree. Which represent barrenness of life.Without thinking and intellectual power human beings life is like barren tree. They both watch the tree so many times.



In 2nd part there are few leaves on tree. In whole movie there is no hope for life than why on this tree ,new leaves come?

 So here practical message of nature is that you have to change. If you are fail in life and got barrenness in life that means not that you lost your strength. If you work hard with hope then definitely one day you will get success. So you have to bring change by your own.






Pozzo and Lucky:-



Pozzo and Lucky are another person who  are looking like tramps. They have no any  kind of ambition in life. Pozzo is master and Lucky is servant here. They have not their thoughts.

Pozzo ordered Lucky , everytime  and he follows it. When in second part Pozzo is blind , Lucky has no idea to leave the slavery and live freely. This presents that we are habituated of our work so we never think about freedom . We love our chain of working.

Burden of something is always with us,never put down.





A boy:-



At the end of each act ,there is one boy come and give the massage of Godot that he is not coming tonight,hr will come tomorrow. The boy has not his personal thinking. He also doesn't know about Godot.



So in the movie we can find uncertainty and nothingness of life. We are Waiting for our Godot that he will come and  take us with him and we will get salvation.


Thank you.....
