Play by Samuel Beckett Part 1

they cut a whole ton out ffrom the real one!

All drama kids have an opinion... tsk tsk

thank you so much, I really love this work.

Just my opinion, but this violates Beckett's use of the light to act as inquisitor/interrogator, forcing the audience to form a relationship with "the light". The camera just doesn't translate that very well. In the theatre each actor would be in darkness until the light acknowledged them, and each actor would not know of the others as each is in their own darkness. It 's really three separate, individual dialogs, not three people interacting with each other which the film seems to imply.

They're not acknowledging eachother in this film- they're off in their own worlds. It's quite a creative take on a film version of this phenomenal play.

I also agree about the light, but I think that the camera angles make up for the light. The camera angles in the film are just as fascinating as the light is on stage. Different medium, totally similar awe-inspiring performances. :)

really? I havent seen the original performed but I was given the impression that it was 3 separate monologues when I watched this. (and this is the first ive heard of this play) with each speaker locked in their own personal but interrelated hells.

This is so fuckin stupid! A nosence!

Thats the point. Non-sense may not "mean" anything per se, but it certainly occupies a special place in our lives. Sound familiar?

I agree

I played Henry in Embers last year, long time Beckett fan and this production is FANTASTIC!!
