Film screening Harold Pinter's ' The Birthday party'

 Hello readers!

                      Here I am going to wrote about ' the Birthday party' by Harold Pinter. The film directed by William Friedkin, a 1968 Film in which our professor Dilip Barad sir gave task to interpret the movie.

About the Auther 

                              Harold Pinter was a British playwright, screenwriter, director and actor. He got Nobel prize winner Pinter was one of the most influential modern British dramatist witg a writing career that spanned more than so years. He was a sprinter and a keen cricket player. Acting in school plays and writing poetry.

                              Here is some question about the movie screening task. So, lats see

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

Ans :-                     In the movie I think directer do not want to change the tone of the genre of the play in the movie. ' The Birthday party' is a comedy of menace and it means a dangerous or threatening quality. So, if director show Lulu's scene then it seems some what romantic but here, in the movie director shows us a very threaten scene of rape in blackout so this genre keep it quality so two scenes of Lulu omitted from the movie. Then here we can say that Lulu's scene is became a part of comedy in the movie.

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

Ans :-            yes, according to my opinion movie is successful to given us the effect of meance. In the movie two strengers are there. Both wants take Stanley with them. And that's why they creates a difficulty for him. They mentally touched him. When Stanley knew That both strengers came. At that time he does not like. He don't want to meet with them. And he hides himself when both are came. He feels something around is happens. That's why he don't want to meet with them. At that time fear generates in Stanley's mind for these two strengers.

3) Do you feel the effect of lurking danger while viewing the movie? Where you able to feel the same while reading the text?

 

Ans :-                      here we can find door knowing scene. May be, throughout the movie we can find the effect of lurking danger when door knowing and in the interrogation scenes. And that's maybe he wants to hides something. That's why he feels fear. He wants hides himself when both are came. He becames mentally upset.

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.

Ans :-                     In the movie we can see that  the newspaper became useful and the symbolical things in the movie. In the first scene we see that petey read news paper and meg doing household work so in this we can say that newspaper stand for intellectual personality and in other way we can say that petey is more connected with currect scenario of the outside world when meg in limited to the house another interpretation is when we see the maccain torn the news paper into pieces it shows the I'll motive of him that he wants to destroy Stanley as newspaper.

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?

Ans :-       camera movie is very important in a play in the movie. Because its focus on the situation. In the movie camera is positioned over the head of maccann when he is playing Blind man's Buff and is positioned at the top with a view of room like a cage when stanley  is playing it. When Stanley is playing the game, it shows that stanley can't escape from the trap created by two strangers.

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). Does this happen in the movie?

Ans :-            yes in the movie also happens. In the movie when Peter reading the newspaper and avoiding and hiding something. It likes a politics of him. And both the strengers forces stanley. So we can connect this with America and other countries for example when many Muslim countries have care and love for other Muslim countries but when America opposes any country like Iran and Iran then Saudi Arabia can not do anything like petey, meg can not do for stanley because power make them understand.

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)?

Ans :-           viewing movie help in batter understanding of the play because when we read the play and watching the movie there is a difference is there. In the movie the atmosphere, The sound, expression of characters creates a interest, when we watching a movie it's becomes easy to understand, we feel fear of stanley and his anxiety through the movie. We feel the silence is there, but within storm of fear is there things becomes alive, through the movie.

8) 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”

Ans :-                      yes, agree to the second point that " it's impossible to imagine a better film of Pinter's play than this sensitive, disturbing version directed by William Friedkin because it is very loyal to the text and in so many years other directors couldn't not make this kind of movie. I know some scenes are missing in the movie. But another scene also performed well by actors.

9) If you were director or screenplay writer, what sort of difference would you make in the making of movie?

Ans :-                      In the movie Stanley's character is main. And in the text Lulu get a voice. She blames on McCann, that he rapes on her. But in the movie these scene is not there. So in the movie she not get the voice to speak. So this scene is necessary in the movie.

10) Who would be your choice of actors to play the role of characters?

Ans :-   meg - shabana Azmi

              Peter - Anupam Khair

              Goldberg - Irfan Khan

               Lulu - Alia Bhatt

               Stanley - Rajkumar Rao

11) Do you see any similarities among Kafka's Joseph K. (in 'The Trial'), Orwell's Winston Smith (in 'Nineteen Eighty-Four') and Pinter's Victor (in 'One for the Road')? 

Ans :-             yes, similarities is there. In this three work. In these we find that political pressure is there. Ans the characters are in depression, or in some fear. And some character has power to rule over than and they becomes victims. And they become the puppet, and some characters feels anxiety. Power place important role.

                                               Thank you... 

Breath :- interpretation challenge & shooting a video

 Hello readers!

Here Is my video about breath 

Thinking Activity :- Waiting for Godot

 Hello readers!

                           Here I would like to wrote about " waiting for Godot" written by Samuel Beckett.

                               The movie " waiting for Godot" is directed by Michael Lindsay - Hogg. In this 2001 movie, Barry   megovern and Johnny Murphy played vladimir and Estragon, where as Lucky and pozzo were performed by Alan stand ford and stephan Brennan respectively.

 About the Auther

                           Samuel Barelay Beckett was born 1906 and he was died on 1989. He was an Irish writer. He write various from in English language. He write this from like play wright short story. He was famous as director, poet, and literary translator. He write in both English and French. He was famous English writer in his time. 

                             So here I would like to wrote some question about the movie screening for waiting for Godot. This was may sir 's blog so let's see question. 

 Q:- 1 What connection do you see in the setting("A country road. A tree. Evening.) of the play and these paintings.

Ans :-               In the picture we can find the picture is drawing by Caspar David Friedrich in September 5,1774. In the pic we can find the setting. The title of this painting is ' longing', here longing means deep desire for something. Waiting is connected with longing. In the painting two person see towards sunrise and sunset, it stand for bright hope and despair and in the play we find similar things. So when we look towards painting we find that in painting they have desire and then when we look towards Beckett's play both waiting for something. 

Q :- 2  The tree is the only important 'thing' in the setting. What is the importance of tree in both acts? Why does Beckett grow a few leaves in Act 2 on the barren tree- The tree has four or five leaves?

Ans :-       In the play three also becomes the symbol and when we find that without leaves of tree. That picture gives some nagative in our mind. Many time tree symbolically presented in the play when vladimir and Estragon try to be hebitate like tree. So, leaves stand for hope and despair. So in the play Estragon and vladimir both are waiting for Godot. And both are desire to meet with Godot. They are waiting first day that Godot never came. On the tree new leaves grow. So it gives hope. So tree gives positivity that another day Godot definitely come. So tree becomes a symbol of hope. 

 Q :- 3 In both acts, evening falls into night and moon rises. How would you like to interpret this 'Coming for night and moon' when actually they are Waiting For Godot?

Ans :-                          In this picture we see that both wait for Godot and wait also nightfall. They believe that every night and moon come that time we will waiting for Godot. In the play repetition are there. But when we read the play and watch the movie we find that repetition also becomes the part of play and movie. That repetition also suggests something. So that repetition also creates new meaning. So it becomes a part of text and movie. So in another way night also gives a hope to wait for another day. They also wait for nightfall. 

 Q:- 4 The director feels the setting with some debris. Can you read any meaning in the contours of debris in the setting of the play?

Ans :-              so In the movie director uses debris In the setting of the play. So in the setting debris there. Because of debris we cannot see the path. Here we can see about the debris in waiting for Godot. In the play we can see the setting of debris is Any area, non - dependent of locale, space, or contour, that contains the debris of wreckage, impact, sinking or other material that once constitude a complete object. 

Q :- 5  play begins with the dialogue "Nothing to be done". how does the theme of 'nothingness' recurs in the play? 

Ans :-               "nothing to be done" reflects the Existentialism. This theory shows that the life is meaningless, whatever you do it has no ultimate meaning But nobody came another day also. So in the play both act looks similar. No any plot main theme is waiting but nobody came both also not sure that who is Godot, and when Godot came, in which from, they does not know the appearance of Godot. So there is no beginning and no complete and. That's why nothingness there in the play. 

Q :- 6 Do you agree: "The play (Waiting for Godot), we agreed, was a positive play, not negative, not pessimistic. As I saw it, with my blood and skin and eyes, the philosophy is: 'No matter what- atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, anything- life goes on. You can kill yourself, but you can't kill life."(E.G. Marshal who played Vladimir in original Broadway production 1950s)?

Ans :-                        yes, I am agree with the play waiting for Godot. The point of E. G. Marshal that the play waiting for Godot is positive play in the sense of life is goes on we can not stop or kill the time. That's why sometimes they become hipper to prove their point of view. The play It make us aware about our own importance in our life more than God. People can do anything without fear of God. It shows nature of nature that doesn't effected by anything. 

 

Q:-7 How are the props like hat and boots used in the play? What is the symbolical significance of these props?

 Ans :-      Samuel Beckett used meany symbols in this play in which Hat and Boot are interesting symbols. We can say that hut represented the intellectual, mental, ability and thinking and boot represent lower and physical appearance. So it becomes a symbol of master salve relationship. One is in top position. So another is in bottom and that situation construntly happens in society. One becomes poor and another becomes rich.

 Q:- 8  Do you think that the obedience of Lucky is extremely irritating and Nauseatic? Even when the master Pozzo is blind, he obediently hands the whip in his hand. Do you think that such a capacity of slavishness is unbelievable?

Ans :-                      yes, The obedience of Lucky is extremely irritating and nauseatic. Because this slavish behavior suggest that you are binded or habituated with the this thing. Sometimes in very child age some becomes habituated to follow the rules of mester. Whatever their master says they does whatever their master. They can't say any word to master. They forgets their strength, they serve their master like God. 

Q:- 9 Who according to you is Godot? God? An object of desire? Death? Goal? Success? or...

Ans :-                        This play has many way of interpretation. We can interpret this play with every given points. But, according to me Godot is God because when we read the dialogue between boy and vladimir that time vladimir asked to the boys that  Godot is white? Then the boy said yes, so we can say that they talk about charist. In which we can say that Godot means Hitler because when vladimir asked to the boy.

Q:- 10 "The subject of the play is not Godot but 'waiting' (Esslin, A search for the self). Do you agree? How can you justify your answer?

Ans :-                           yes, I agree the subject of the play is not Godot but waiting, because in the beginning of the play both are waiting and at the end of the play both are waiting and at the end of the play both are waiting so waiting becomes the theme of the play. 

Q :- 11 Do you think plays like this can better be 'read' than 'viewed' as it requires a lot of thinking on the part of readers, while viewing, the torrent of dialogues does not give ample time and space to 'think'? Or is it that the audio- visuals help in better understanding of the play?

Ans :-                           yes, I think the play like this can be batter understandable if it will be read first than viewed. Reading of the play helps to understand the things in the better why. For the understanding of the deeper philosophy one has to read the play. Only reading also makes you boring because you will not be able to imagine vladimir and Estragon and their useless action. We have to done both the things in the class which enriched our understanding of the play. 

Q:- 12 Which of the following sequence you liked the most:

•  Vladimir-Estragon killing time in questions and conversation a while waiting
• Pozzo-Lucky episode in both acts
• Conversation of Vladimir with the boy
• 
  
  

Ans :-                  I like both the act first when vladimir and Estragon killing Their time at that time both arguing with each other and both tells deep philosophy of life in their conversations. In this I like the most is conversation of Vladimir with the boy. That Vladimir asked him whether they are happy or not. So, first conversation with the boy was the hope for Vladimir and second conversation somewhat despair and revealed Vladimir's selfishness. 

Q :- 13 Did you feel the effect of existential crisis or meaninglessness of human existence in the irrational and indifference Universe during screening of the movie? Where and when exactly that feeling was felt, if ever it was?

Ans :-               yes, we feel the effect of Existential crisis or meaningless of human existence in the irrational and indifference universe. In Existentialism person believe in real existence then and then they believe, they also does not believe in any proof. They believe in real experience. So when never see Godot, they never met Godot, they never talk with Godot, then still both are waiting so in Existentialism it becomes meaningless. 

Q :- 14 Vladimir and Estragon talks about ‘hanging’ themselves and commit suicide, but they do not do so. How do you read this idea of suicide in Existentialism?

Ans :-                 In Existentialism suicide is best art ever done. After happens everything, there is a need of national thinking, that is suicide. It is a favorite solution when feeling of absurdity came in life. In this play Vladimir is a strong believer of Christianity and suicide is the sin in Christianity and we also can say that Estragon and Vladimir avoid suicide because they have hope for Godot. 

Q :- 15 Can we do any political reading of the play if we see European nations represented by the 'names' of the characters (Vladimir - Russia; Estragon - France; Pozzo - Italy and Lucky - England)? What interpretation can be inferred from the play written just after World War II? Which country stands for 'Godot'?

So far as Pozzo and Lucky [master and slave] are concerned, we have to remember that Beckett was a disciple of Joyce and that Joyce hated England. Beckett meant Pozzo to be England, and Lucky to be Ireland." (Bert Lahr who played Estragon in Broadway production). Does this reading make any sense? Why? How? What?

Ans :-                  yes, we can interpret the political reading in which Vladimir stand for Russia, Pozzo stand of Italy, Lucky stand for England and Estragon stand for France, so, we can connect this to the world war in which these all countries destroyed by Godot means Germany that is why Vladimir asked to the boy that is Godot beating? Then boy replied yes. So we cannect Godot with ermany means title who destroyed many countries and killed thousands of people. So in this matter Ireland struggling a lot with England and recently we have seen British. 

Q :- 16  The more the things change, the more it remains similar. There seems to have no change in Act I and Act II of the play. Even the conversation between Vladimir and the Boy sounds almost similar. But there is one major change. In Act I, in reply to Boy;s question, Vladimir says: 

"BOY: What am I to tell Mr. Godot, Sir?

VLADIMIR: 

 Tell him . . . (he hesitates) . . . tell him you saw us. (Pause.) You did see us, didn't you?

How does this conversation go in Act II? Is there any change in seeming similar situation and conversation? If so, what is it? What does it signify?

Ans :-                In act I Vladimir said to boy That tell Godot that he Had seen both them and they are waiting for him. So, here vladimir takes about both vladimir and Estragon while in second act vladimir told the boy that tell Godot that you saw me, so here vladimir talked about his self he does not mention. He name of Estragon. So, in act 2 Vladimir seems selfish. 

                                         Thank you... 

Existentialism :- Flipped Learning Ask Questions

Hello readers!

    

                              Here I am going to wrote about Existentialism. This is my Flipped Learning task. This was given by Dilip barad sir from Department of English Bhavnagar University. 

Existentialism 

 

Existentialism Video Description 

 

Video :- 1

     

                           In the first video we find the meaning of Existentialism. There are Many philosophers, we can she it Existentialists who have given their philosophies on the idea of Existentialism. All know define the Existentialism by je suis Existentialism. Associated within is not coinciderd to the face Existentialist. This are the faithful companion. Believing and not believing in God that time we look at individuality, freedom and passion. Existentialism is not the conflict and struggle with other people. But it is an individual struggle with the universal ideas.

Video :-2

       

                            This video is about the philosophical suicide and the myth of sisyphus. The cause of the death is absurdity. Meaning of life is the most important camus individual act. He says relation of suicide act. Absurdity face in the question. Because of life is absurd. Try into common belief refusing to grant meaning to life. We know that this divorce between man and this life, The actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity. All healthy men having thought of their own suicide, it can be seen, without further explanation, that there is a direct connection between this feeling and the longing for detah.

Video :- 3

Feeling of the absurd philosophical suicide 

   

                            The feeling of the absurd is not, for all that, The notion of the absurd. It lays the foundations for it. People try to escape from this absurdity because other one can live in a physical suicide on a physical suicide, individual state of mind needs to stay her or himself pertinent state of individualine, Sudha question of God and it is stand in front of us that one can her rational and can free for the all kind of structures of society. 

Video :- 4

     

                          In this video the very well know concept of dadaism and Nihilism denotes idea of life so that basic meaning of dadaism is a quest for change or creation is the primary goal of the Daizam and the IT arises. The absurd doesn't frightened me because, from a more elevated point of view, I consider everything in life to be absurd. 

Video :- 5

                                In this video we can see there exist racialisam is a very gloomy philosophy then an anxiety disappear absurdity can tack place and we never faced this argument in the arena of Existentialism. Existentialism is often accused of being a gloomy philosophy while there's a truth to this claim, we must look at the whole picture. 

Video :- 6

     

                           In this video, I briefly explain why  Existentialism and nihilism are two distinct movements. Many people says Existentialism and Nihilism are the same thing, but actually not very meaning of Nihilism is that something which is loss of individuality. Nihilism is a concept of passively accept the life. Also give the new concept that responsibility to fight against suicide call rebellion. 

Video :-7 

          

                               In this lacture we look at the history of Existentialism examine what for Existentialists is the key concern of philosophy, discuss the phrase existence precedes essence, and differentiate between Existentialism and Nihilism. 

Video :- 8 

  

                           The clear concept of Existentialism is that we do not need to believe in the constructions and rule we have own disciplines and ruled social constructions and already Seth rules don't it have the universal morality which leads that governs all of us. In this video I get know very interesting concept and I am very impressed with it that it is " ubermensche" which is connected with what's good and bad. 

Video :-9

                         This video is a fairly personal description of what attrects me to Existential thinking, and of waht I get out of it. This one is also something of a companion - piece to my recent video on Existentialism and human development. It is a kind of quest between good or bad for to be or not to be in a general sense we can say that it is a fight between mind and heart of a person. 

Video :- 10 

                       The last video we can see this was a idea of Existentialism is that waht gives life meaning what is the meaning of life, what is the purpose of life. Existentialist every meaningfulthing is a meaningless here we can find the concept of Nihilism, connected with the belief of ultimate meaningless of life. In this particular last video I like the concept of theory of theology.

                         I like last video because here video about our life meaning the video about the meaning of life what is the purpose of life. Here we see the concept of Nihilism, connected with the belief of ultimate meaningless of life. I like the theology of theology which denotes that God made the universal a world with the purpose.

Sanday Reading :- Ecocriticism

 Hello readers!

                                 Here I am write about my understanding on response to the guest lecture session by Devang Nanavati. This is blog is related to post colonial studies. This is my academic task given by Dilip barad sir from Department of English Bhavnagar University. Devang Nanavati give the some thoughts on eco criticism. Here the video recording of the live session.

 Ecocriticism

                       " Ecocriticism is the study of the relationship between literature and the physical environment". Post Colonial ecocriticism stems from the realization that western centrism and anthropocentrism consolidate one another. It draws attention to the principles of social ecology and the question of environmental justice, expressing concern about the fact that subaltern humans are denied access to the resources of the land they inhabit and emphasising the sustainability of their cultural practices.

                           Ecocriticism was a term coind in the late 1970s by combining " criticism" with a shortened from of ' ecology', The science that investigates the interrelation of all forms of plant and animal life which each other and with their physical habitats.

                       Ecocritical post-colonial study is a newly emerged field in literary criticism. The theory combines the study of post-colonial environment in literary work and reveals a relationship between literature and the environment. Before the word ‘Ecocriticism’ was coined in the world of literature, from the beginning, writers were exclusively engaged presenting nature as source of inspiration and a privilege to evolve their ideas and pen them down.  

             With the introduction of the term Ecocriticism in literary criticism by the Association of the Study of Literature and Environment in 1993, scholars approached the analysis of texts to highlight environmental concerns and explore the roles of literature to bring awareness to society.  

                 Post-colonialism, on the other hand, as a response to colonization, studies the cultural and economic exploitation of the colonized/marginalized-- the natives and their land. As one can see the split between the two schools of thought-- nature versus culture--has been a trend for more than a decade. This split of thought has obliterated the fact that the environment is an integration of nature and culture, humans and nonhumans, animate and inanimate.

Film Reviews :- post Colonial Films :- Midnight's Children's, The Reluctant fundamentalist, The Black prince and Abdul and Victoria

 Hello readers!

              

                   Hear I am going to wrote about post Colonial films review Midnight's Children's, The Reluctant fundamentalist, The Black prince and Abdul. This task is given by Dilip barad sir from Department of English Bhavnagar University. So let's start. 

Midnight Children's 

 Midnight's Children is a 1981 novel by author Salman Rushdie. It portrays India's transition from British colonialism to independence and the partition of India. It is considered an example of postcolonial, postmodern, and magical realist literature. The story is told by its chief protagonist, Saleem Sinai, and is set in the context of actual historical events. The style of preserving his with fictional accounts is self-reflexive.

The story of Midnight's Children is the story of Saleem (played by Darsheel and Satya Bhabha), who was born at the precise stroke of midnight, and exchanged at birth with the child of an affluent Indian Muslim family, the Sinais. Saleem shares a gift that over a thousand children born between the hours of 12 and 1 the Midnight’s Children that historic night, were bestowed with: he has super powers. In a Bryan Singer movie, this could have led to a X-Men type battle between these children and the villainous humans who want to destroy them, but this film sticks largely to Saleem’s story, as he battles his destiny through two wars and the emergency.

In the film most surrounding of the children who was in the stoke of the midnight during 14th Aug 1947 With magic power. In the movie everything happening between two characters Saleem and Shiva  and another like Parvati, Ahema Sinai, Amin , Mary perira etc.... In the film one question rise that what is fault of that children which born midnight? What luck ,all the children are sad. The narrator and protagonist of the novel. Born at the moment of India’s independence and blessed with the powers of telepathy and an uncanny sense of smell, Saleem tells his extraordinary life story as his body begins to crumble, an account that significantly parallels the history of postcolonial India. As a narrator, Saleem can be both unreliable and self-centered at times.

The main idea of hybridity in culture and identity we can see in the movie, as per the quote 'Let reach to be poor and poor to be reach' Saleem, actually, the son of British man William Methwold and poor Marathian lady and the Shiva was the son of Ahemad Sinai and Amina, but, Mary, a nurse in the hospital changed these both baby boy with each other because her lover was a Marxist and pursued mary to protest against elite class.

The Reluctant fundamentalist 

                       The Reluctant Fundamentalist a novel written by Pakistani Writer Mohsin Hamid and then adopted in film directed by Mira Nair in 2014. The story is about the young man Changez Khan who attracted to American Business culture. He was an intellectual and respected person in American wall street business company. 

                   The film started with the interview of Change Khan By Bobby in which Change Khan narrated his story about the his life in America. The hero of the novel was very young, intellectual, businessman and highly reputed. There he was living a good life with his beloved Erica, a very good artist in photography. But suddenly all the things changed. 

                         Change after the attack on WTC tower. All people look towards him like he is terrorist, he insulted by FBI and many American fellows and abused him. Once, he loved America like his native land but after abusing and insulted her sincerity he came back to Pakistan as University professor.

The Black prince 

    If we see this movie with the perspectives of the postcolonial studies so we have to apply Edward said's 'Orientalism' and also apply the race theory. We can say that why western countries and especially America looking towards Muslim countries as countries of terrorism? It is all about the illusion of america that every Muslim are terrorist. America Know that if we want be in power position so that we have to destroyed all Muslim countries in the name of terrorism.

the movie also Change faced problem because he belong to Muslim country. All countries and their movies show the villains almost are Muslim. They succeeded to built this kind of stereotype in the mind of other religion's people. America only see their 3000 Americans died in this attack but they do not see that they killed billions of Muslims in Gulf war and in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria wars. If world want to make peace in the earth then all have to protest against America to stop terrorism.

Abdul & victoria

             Victoria & Abdul is a 2017 British biographical comedy drama film directed by Stephen frears and written by Lee tall. The film is based on the book of same name by sharabani Basa, about the real life relationship between queen victoria and her Indian Muslim servant Abdul Karim. 

                               The filmmakers have taken factual liberties the film is “based on real events mostly,” which is very cute but meaningless.Fazal’s Karim think of colonialism. We never know. “It is my humble privilege to serve Her Majesty,” he says. Later, he puts on his best Forrest Gump to tell the queen that “Life is like a carpet.” He means that all kinds of things are woven into our fabric but he really comes off as no more than a doormat.There’s only one major problem: The man at the center, Abdul Karim. He remains a blank canvas, his motives unexplored, his interior or domestic life uncaptured. He is called “the brown John Brown” and offers no riposte.“Victoria & Abdul” comes out only a few months after “Viceroy’s House,” which explored how India and Pakistan were carved from the former British Empire in 1947.   

This movie is a treat for the eyes with gorgeous Scottish locations, stylishly detailed costumes, stately summer palaces, and consists of many professional performances. It's good to see Dame Dench give a strong performance following some by the numbers of late. It also holds the attention for most of its run time by offering a tell  story of a little known relationship between this long reigning Queen, with a randomly selected Indian who was one of two 'local subjects' brought to England to present her with a specially minted gold coin .  Appreciation from British ruled India. The close relationship that follows between her and one of the guest presenters tends to become perhaps a little too romanticised for the level of believability expected of its audience. Victoria's Burqa comments made at her first sight of Abdul's wife seem far too 'fanciful' if not highly doubtful.

"This story is based on real events...well, mostly". Make of that what you will.
