Screening of "Robinson Crusoe"

• Introduction:

                         'Robinson Crusoe' is very adventure story with interested novel.  This novel written by Daniel Defoe in 18th century. It was published in 1719. In this novel chief character of Robinson Crusoe. This novel about the survival of Robinson Crusoe in a unknown island. So let's discussion about some  notable points in the movie and novel.:

• Colonialism:

                         The novel and film both are full of  slavery system or colonialism which is dark side of English history and literature. So we can see it very clearly in the novel and film.

               

                 When starting of film directer try to explain condition of Crusoe properly. This film start like as open the book of Robinson before then scene of broken ship.  When he goes to Brazil, he started his business and again he try to buy more slaves and there was shipwrecked  then he achieves  landed on  human less place of island. During that time he thinks that he became a king of island. His ambition is more powerful. He behave to starting feel himself as king of island.

                         

                    He saved one boy. His name 'Friday' given by Crusoe. He is prey of cannibals and make  him slave. Always Crusoe say like as 'my  man Friday' and last scene We can see that Don't like  Crusoe to leave island. He think that it is my island. So from all about this thing  and elements we can certainly sat that colonial discourse in the film and  novel. 

• Only Focus Voyage:

                                 I believe that In the movie only focus sea voyage rather than novels. I can say that each directer has own imagination but here We can see that most important voyage than any angles. In the movies don't describes Landon and Brazil life of Crusoe.

• Technical Issue:

                          When I  watched movie of Robinson Crusoe at that time I can find some mistake during produce. In the movie Crusoe has suitable and colorful clothes, Many types fruits like as bananas. So How We can Image this thing in island ?. Another thing is that Crusoe's has combination of  clothe with umbrella. In the movie Crusoe has  Dog as pet animal while in original novel  We can see Crusoe has Parrot and Goat as pet animals.

   

• Friday's Voice:

                          In the movie We can see that Friday behave with Crusoe like as Friend but in the novel  We can see that total submission of Friday as a slave. When We watched movie, I say certainly that Friday has  his own voice. Another things like as When Crusoe shows power of gun  Friday starts worshiping gun and Crusoe.

• Anti- Colonial:

                           In the movie I can see anti-colonial elements like as there is no relationship between master and slave. When Crusoe meet first time of Friday, Crusoe request  to became  friend. Here I can say that they are not master and slave but they are live like as friends. Another things is that this novel written during 1719 and  the movie  is in 1997 and changing of time, place and ideas So it is a reason that movie shows anti- colonial.

• Conclusion:

                                    Thus, The novel and film both are interesting but film also clear to some difficulties to understand about character of Robinson Crusoe and Friday, Background of Island and there were lifestyle.
