Thinking Activity: 'Hamlet' Movie Screening

Thinking activity: 'Hamlet' movie screening:

Here is my answer on Thinking Activity on'Hamlet'movie screening. Task given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir,

William Shakespeare's Hamlet is a major tragedy. Movie Kenneth Branagh is just as interesting. This character is well portrayed in the movie. I enjoyed the screening of the film.

Hamlet is the first tragedy of a series of Shakespeare great tragedies that is thought to be published between 1601 and 1603. This play is one of their most successful, complete and best plays ever. Hamlet is a tragedy of revenge written in the Roman Senecan tragedy line. It is a reflection of the tragedy and a moral sensitivity. The protagonist is very reflective and very sensitive, thus unfit for revenge by step. He has undone the past, but the paradox of crime and justice annoys him. When the play ends, all the main characters make the tragedy perfect.

Question (1). How faithful is the movie to the original play?

"Hamlet" was directed by Kenneth Brangh in 1996. The full version of Kenneth Brangh Hamlet, it is more than 4 hours long and the world of Shakespeare's Hamlet is as fully present with every dialogue as it is in the original text. Dialogues of the original text are covered in this movie.

We can't say that the movie Hamlet is trustworthy because there are so many new things in this movie. We can see that the characters' suits look more like 12th-century Denmark or Victorian than 16th-century England. Branha saw Victorian ear and style attire, luxurious dresses and rich ceremonies in the court of Elsinore, which are especially luxurious in medieval times. Kenneth Baranas seems to be middle-aged rather than a young student at hamlet's University. And by doing this, I went a little farther from the original play.

Question (2). After watching the movie, have your perception about play, characters or situations changed?

According to my interpretation some characters and situations have changed. The protagonist in the movie (Kenneth Brang) is much older than the real Prince Hamlet, who is much younger.

Before I watched the film, my perception of Gertrude's character or that she was a good queen, but as I watched the film, my perspective changed to Gertrude. I doubt his character. To kill King Hamlet with Claudius? Another is that I think Ophelia is a strong character but while watching the movie I see that she is made up of one.

Question (3). Do you feel 'aesthetic delight' while watching the movie? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

Ans.Yes  I feel  that  'Aesthetic delight' when I watched this movie Some scenes in the movie give us aesthetic pleasure. I enjoy aesthetically pleasing views of snow-desert.

Yes, when Hamlet died and his words gave me aesthetic pleasure "the rest is silence". It gave me aesthetic pleasure:
  While watching this movie on the begging Horatio and Hamlet does not make Claudius the King of Denmark, I feel 'aesthetically pleasing'. Horatio said at that time I knew your father.

Question (4). Do you feel 'Catharsis' while or after watching movies? If yes, exactly when did it happen? If no, can you explain with reasons?

Ans.Yes, I think 'Catharsis' in the play, while Hamlet returned from Wittenberg to Denmark, to know that his father is killed by his uncle's death and his mother. His uncle is dispersed to his mother's reckless marriage.

Yes, exactly I like 'aesthetic pleasures', the critic Northrup Frye evaluates Hamlet as a drama without catharsis but ... I feel cathartic when it is decided to take revenge while watching movies. While Claudius has become a king and his mother died within a few days with Claudius his father, which is 'catharsis'.

Question (5). Does screening of movie help you in better understanding of the play?

Ans.Yes, the movie is better for understanding drama. This is the easiest way to understand Hamlet Play through movie screenings as Kenneth Branagh attempts to cover as much dialogue as possible in the original text in this movie. It is possible that we cannot even imagine the whole situation when reading the text. So reading a movie is very helpful in understanding every emotion of the character. I do not read the original play so the movie screening helps me to understand the basic idea of ​​the paly.the movie helps to understand it better than the original play as it gives a broader knowledge than the original play. The audience in the movie captures the moment that is interpreted by the director. The film's scene, plot, setting, arranged by the situation director is very beautiful, so it's a better understanding than the original play.

Question (6). Was there any particular scene or moment in the movie that you will cherish lifetime?

Ans.One moment is a favorite of a lifetime Act 5 scene2. Dialogue between Hamlet and Horatio. When Horatio tries to convince Hamlet that if your mind dislikes nothing, follow it but ... Hamlet responds in very meaningful words: "No, not whites, if we don't welcome it, it will come ... Not now, yet it will be urgent, here in this scene we can see the understanding of a good bond friendship with Hamlet and Horatio.

Question (7). If you are director, what changes would you like to make in the remaking of movie on Shakespeare's 'Hamlet'?

Ans.If I'm the director of a Hamlet movie I'm changing the sequences of the beginning and the end because the Soldiers demolish Hamlet's statue. He does this kind of work under his father's pressure.

Question (8). What does the fallen statue signifies?

Ans.At the beginning of the movie, the roll over the statue of King Hamlet beside Elsinore Castle and with the same sequence the scene cycle symbolizes life and death.

At the beginning of the movie, the camera turns on the statue of King Hamlet Castle and the movie ends with a sequence in which the image of King Hamlet is hung up to dust. This fall of the statue symbolically represents the fall of King Hamlet's dynasty. The collapse of the statue also signifies that after death there is nothing left in the end, that pride, like the rule, is destroyed by the cycle of mortal things. Perhaps Kenneth Branagh wants to say that 'revenge' is not the right moral answer. It was King Hamlet who wanted to avenge his assassination and therefore the collapse of his statue signifies the fall of an empire.

Question (9). While studying the play through movie, which approach do you find more applicable to the play? Why? Give reasons with illustration.

Ans.While studying drama through the movie, I found that historical and biological approaches are more applicable. Because in the movie we see England of the Victorian Era, and in the play is the Denmark of the Rainines and another thing is in Prince Hamlet of Denmark that ... he was really mad and thus killed all the family members but Shakespeare made Hamlet a character as a thinking man.

Question (10). Which of the above mentioned approaches (in Pre-viewing task) appeals you more than order? Why? Give reasons.

Ans.Which of the above approaches do I want to appeal to more of a psychological approach than any other? Hamlet madness also appears as Hamlet's psychological .Manical mind. Hamlet's delay in seeking revenge can show that he has done nothing, he is the victim of extreme sadness.

  Norman Ann Handland nicely summarized both Hamlet's delays and also his understanding of Hamlet's true motives for our three-hundred-year delay:

Now what do critics mean when they say that Hamlet can't work because of his oedipus complex? The argument is very simple, very elegant. One, for centuries, people have not been able to say why Hamlet delayed killing his father and marrying his mother. TWo, the psychoanalytic experience shows that every child wants to do exactly that. Three, Hamlet delays because he cannot punish Claudius for wanting to do so as a child and, unknowingly, still intends to: he was punishing himself. Four, the fact that this desire is unconscious explains why people could not explain Hamlet's delay.
  Delays in Revenge We can say that Hamlet's psychological .Manical mind.

The word of the year 2016 ' Post Truth

Sunday Reading: The word of the year 2016 'Post Truth':

Welcome Reader,

Here is my blog this blog is 'Post Truth' the word of the year 2016 given by Dr.Dilipsir barad..

∆∆ What is the meaning of the 'Post Truth' ∆∆

'Post Truth' is a new word, it has been chosen as the word of the year for 2016 by the chosen as the word of the year for 2016 by the Oxford English Dictionary. Post- Truth is a compound word,which is a word comprised of two words joined together to create a new word with a new meaning of the term Post - Truth, where it comes from and some examples of its use in sentences.

The post Truth describes the important facts of appealing to the public and opposition to individual ancestors, which will be used to designate the time after the prefix post-after the beginning, the previews, started with the 1970s, when the example of something is irrelevant. This example means that the post-truth is written by Ralph keyes with the release of the 2004 book. The post-truth is not used in the state-of-politics, the political philosophy is the emphasis on the effectiveness of a particular and the effectiveness of the economy. The word is the post-truth.

∆∆ According to Oxford dictionary:

According to Oxford dictionary defines as relating to or denothing circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief'

Oxford Dictionary has declared  " post-truth "  as its 2016 international word of the year .  Reflecting what it called a  " highly - charged "  political 12 months.

∆∆ According to Cambridge Dictionary in 'Post truth':

Related to a situation, people likely to accept arguments based on their emotions and beliefs, then they are based on the facts.

The referendum of the Lok-Truth's politics was the first majority of the referendum. He made the "post-truth" white house of the current administration.

∆∆ Some examples related to 'Post Truth':

 

You  can  see  this image  and what is  different  between  truth  and post truth?  This  image  suggest  difference of  truth  and post truth.

Post Truth  politics class called post - factual politics.and political culture in which debate is framed largely  appeals to emotion dis connected  from the details. Of policy and by he repeated  assertion of  taking points to which factual rebuttals  are ignored.post truth  differs from traditional  contesting and  falsifying  of facts by relegating facts and expert opinions to be of secondary  importance relative to  appeal to emotion. While this has been described as  a contemporary  problem  some  observers have described  it  as a long standing  part of  political  life that was less notable before the advent of the internet and related  social  changes.

Conflicting Thinking is about understanding what people say what they will do and they really do what are really different from different things.

Lie is not necessarily. People always lie to themselves and if they do so, you never feel satisfying until it is so much. It is as much as possible in the world that any person can predict that the next will happen..

When we talk of Post-Truth, its real situation is hidden and it does not represent the reality of society .They also live in a perception that is truth. Truth means that something exists in society but Post-Truth is rethinking the truth that supports truth or not. We see in the media how they hide people's reality so that people live in some kind of ignorance, even in real life, but that's not the truth.

==> ∆∆ Sairandhri Poem: ∆∆

Here I would like to put some line's of Sairandhri poem. The main theme of the poem is lost of Identity. Vinod joshi put his idea and thoughts about Draupadi of Mahabharata in different ways. Here I would like to put one few lines of the poem of Vinod Joshi,

                   

                    "ટચલી આંગળીનો નખ

                     લટમાં પરોવી  હું તો બેઠી સજન,

                     મુને એકવાર કાગળ તો લખ.

                     ચૂમી ચૂમી ને  કરી એંઠી સજન,

                     હવે લૂંછી દે  પાંપણના દખ."

This poem based on Mahabharata . In Mahabharata one part of 'VIRAT PARVA'.It's call 'Agnat Vas' which living into hidden from and without self-sameness wherever.Here question is that what's purpose of remaining in the hidden way? Draupadi was daughter of the king Drupad who is the king of paanchal. She known with various name into the Mahabharata like as Krishna ,Yagnaseni , Panchali..etc There are many story and problem responsible behind her name . But here vinod Joshi's sairandhari is differ from Mahabharata .Here vinod joshi presented draupadi as a lover of Karna.

As a queen of Hastinapur Draupadi How she became Dashi during in Agnat Vas? and How she faced various problem in her life ?.  It's very interesting way interpreted by him.

Acclaimed for the elegant female sensibility in the sounds, rhymes and rhythm of his songs , Vinod Joshi talks to SBS Gujarati about 'SAIRANDHRI' his poem based on the character of DRAUPADI she is one of the character of Mahabharata .Vinod Joshi's recent publications "SAIRANDHRI"(2018) poem composed in prabhandh from with seven Cantos, 49 chapter and 1800 lines.And it is based on Draopadi character of Hindu epic Mahabharata. Here poet tried to explain Draopadi's feeling and thought . As a part of languages poet used figurative language ,personification , meter,chopai and Dohra in Sairandhri .Poet also used Sringara rasa in the poem Sairandhri.

==> ∆∆ 'Sairandhri is a poem of lost identity: ∆∆

Here in the poem we can see,

The poet present in the poem has interpreted the love story of Sairandhari and Karna differently in the Mahabharata story.  In this poem, the poet presents that he chose Karna for marriage, not Arjuna.  Arjun is another choice.  When Sairandhri first saw Karna in his own self, a large image of Karna emerged in Sairandhi's mind,

                  "વક્ષ વિશાળ ભુજા બળશાળી

                    નેત્ર વિધુત ચમક નિહાળી

                   તક્ષ ક્ષણ મોહિત થઈ પાંચાલી

                    વરણ કરી નિજ મનમાં માલી

                    સર્વ નૃપાલ સ્વયંવર માણે

                    હતો કર્ણ નીરહે દુઃખ જાણે

                    સ્થાન હતું એને મન ઉત્તમ

                    કરવા કોઈ અનન્ય પરાક્રમ

                    દ્રષ્ટિ સહેજ સ્પર્શી ને સરકી

                    પાંચાલી નખશીખ ગઈ ધરકી

                    રહી બાહુબલી નર ને જોતી

                     તરત પરોયા મનમાં મોતી...."

Vinod Joshi said that his Draupadi is different from Draupadi of Mahabharata.  He made the fictional character of Draupadi or Sairandagari in his poem. Vinod Joshi said of Sairandhari that she had a real identity .Sairandhri did not have a proper identity. He played an important role in Mahabharata without a specific identity .He lost his identity with sacrificing body for Pandavo.In the Mahabharata, she does not question her identity, which she does not have the freedom to express.  Mahabharata's Sairandhri was not alone with Pandavas and Krishna when the poet's imagination in his poem here is no one with Sairandhri and he is free to everything .He is one of the powerful women described by Vinod Joshi in this poem .This poem explains about one.  A woman's condition, emotions and feelings.

==>∆∆  Love for Karna: ∆∆

Here in the poem Vinod joshi interpret Sarandhri's for karna in this poem interpretation different type of the Mahabharata's story.This poem represented that her first choice for love is Karna and second choice is Arjuna. So here Karna & Droupadi both are love each other but they don't share publicly. Same condition we find in our society. Many time young boy and girl has not proper platform to said who is their true lover ? Then they chose bad way for satisfaction. As a woman it is difficult task to say in Indian family . So here both are remain with hidden themselves. They don't tell to other about relationship. Karna was brave man although he had hidden his ownership.in the whole poem poet talking about Sarandhri so we can see whole poetry different type of the Mahabharata story here poet put there own view about sarandhri.

Thus this poetry created in Australia by Vinod Joshi very interesting and well known poem.

Dr. Faustus: A Play by Christopher Marlowe

Hello,

        Welcome readers,

• Here is my answer....✍️✍️

Thinking Activities:

 (1) The play directed by Matthew Dunster for Globe theatre ends with this scene (see the image of Lucifer). What does it signify?

 here the last scene of Lucifer signifies his great triumphal.

The last scene of Lucifer with huge wings suggests that Evil is enjoying his victory over God.  His wide wings show the power in Lucifer's photo, his expression and smile brutality.  He was laughing and celebrating the defeat of God.

Dr.Faustus wants to be a wise person because he thinks he will become like God when he knows everything, but his way of getting knowledge was wrong.  At the end of the play he feels sorry and he seeks God to save him, but God is helpless to save Dr. Faustus.  We can clearly see Lucifer's victory in the last scene of the play, and it has become even more powerful after taking on the spirit of Doctor Faustus.Hell become reality at the end of the play Dr Faustus.

(2)  Is God present in the play? If yes, where and how? If no, why? 

Yes,God is present in the play

I notice that the good angel is the voice of Doctor Faustus's consciousness, he is a kind of spirituality in Doctor Faustus.  She urges Dave Faustus to repent and serve God.

∆. "Good angel as a symbol" ∆

∆. "Old man as a good Human being" ∆

∆. "Chorus as a soul of god" ∆

The old man is like a secret character in the play.

  It is found in the last part of the play.  He made a last attempt by God to save Doctor Fossatus.  The old man also urges Doctor Faustus to repent to God. The role of the chorus is to comment on the events of a play.  I notice that the play contains chorus as the voice of God, so I can say that the chorus is the Spirit of God. Here's one thing that hurts,

 "God and Good Things" is present in the play but finally Evil wins.

(3) What reading and interpretation can be given to this image (see the image of Daedalus and Icarus) with reference to central theme of the play Dr.Faustus?

This is an image of two greek mythological characters. father Daedalus and his son Icarus.

  Greek mythology, a son whose father Daeduls gives him wings.  Which is made by Bessvex, but Icarus forgets the truth and went near the sun, and because of this his wings were dissolved and he fell to the earth and died.  Similarly here Dr. Faustus Go down from his higher knowledge position.  The craving for knowledge is good at some level but it is bad to cross those limits ... Thus we can say that this image of Icarus's fall shows the central theme of the similar fall of Dr.Faustus.


Icarus was not satisfied with what he had and he tried to reach beyond his limits.  When the sun waxed near it melted and it fell into the sea.

(4) How do you interpret this painting?

This is a painting of Landscape about "The Fall of Icarus"

Here, in this image we can see that Icarus falls into the sea and he's dying but who cares?  In this image here three persons are present in one place at different heights but no one wants to save them but they do not look to that side.

(1) Even the closest person to a fish caught does not try to save Icarus.

 (2) shepherd is looking at the sky and the sheep are busy grazing the grass.  Symbol of "ignore".

 (3) The farmer is busy with his farm's.

  Here, in this whole story summaries we can see selfish society because they busy with their own work they didn't try save and busy own task..

                                                       Thank you...✍️✍️
