Pinter Nailed It!!

@sfortuna Where does the play ACTUALLY say it is his LAST day of his life? Who is to say Krapp hasn't recorded the same monologue on a different spool?
-
I like this, and I like the actor but I can't help but feel he seems to ... energetic. When I think of Krapp I think of someone old and aged. He should move slower and make his voice sound a tad more raspy for an old man.
Just my opinion though.

I don't know. Maybe I was in a bad mood when I watched it. I'm sure no one would put something together like this "lazily," otherwise why would they bother. I just didn't prefer it over other versions I'd seen.
-
@motorizedlamb do you really mean that?
-
This would do well on the NBC thursday night primetime slot, right between "Desperate Housewives" and "My name is Earl" The ratings would soar like a sloth shot from a cannon!
-
I was very underwhelmed by this acting job and the way this was put together. It all seemed very lazy.
-
I seen the beckett on film version of this play a long time ago, It is genius.
-
Could somebody please explain to me the significance of the word "spool" here at about 1:30 it seems to get heavily emphasised in a number of versions Ive seen.
-
It's good acting I reckon... but I don't feel anything, it's empty for me, when I read it it made me feel alone and hopeless... this is like watching my grandpa on a regular sunday... it's just the way I feel about it :(

Actor is way too mundane for the play - the LAST DAY of Krapp's wasted, dessicated life. You must see a man who not only is dying, but who knows it and has huge regrets - this is his last futile attempt to seek meaning in his life as he remembers his lost chance at happiness. It is about failed love, failed communication. The man documents his life but has nothing to say - his tapes are ironic in that they document a failure to communicate, to be human. I'd play it desperate & ill

"Desperate and ill..." for the whole 40 minutes of the play. I'm glad I don't have to bear that performance.
Thankfully, Jerome Lindon, Beckett's literary executor and French publisher, didn't share your view about this actor. The text used for this film was the last version approved by Beckett. In it, Krapp doesn't have a red nose, he doesn't wear those big clown-like white shoes and so on. Likewise our intention has been to convey the essence without the histrionics.
