PASSION?? or PASSIONATE???

On 1st April 2008,most of the TESL 4 went to KLPac to watch the play entitled Passion. For me, this is a very different play compared to another play that I’ve watched before or compared to another play that I’ve learnt in the class.
In this play, there are no utterances or dialogue between the actors/actress. This play is like some sort of musical play with the actor/actress dancing on the main floor without any words appear from the mouth. Seems like they are not using their voice at all. Just the gesture and movement. Even in conveying their feeling, they just used the movement.
For me, this play is not interesting, not really catching my eyes on it. I don't really like the silence play as I think, it is the normal play, same as the previous one that we used to watched when we were in semester 1.
But, what to say! going watching that play is actually better than living me in my room, as I will get into a deep slumber.

Shakespeare Wallah

Talking about this movie, it’s kind of movie that is quite easy to understand.
This movie is talking about one family who is still loyal to the life play although the drama which can be seen through the television is spreading its wing at that time.
This family still prefers to run the business in making the play at their own studio but as the drama has became very popular, people seems attracted more to this new technology, television. The actors/ actress become popular over the level of the life play actor.
In this play, we can see how life play actor has been underestimated by the drama actress. But, with the spirit of Shakespeare and all of his playscript, this family who is very loyal to Shakespeare’s play continues their life in their very own way.
Overall, this movie is quite interesting as it has the different aspect compared to another movie, the actor and the actress. All of them are the Hindustanian but in this movie, they are talking in English.
