Here I am accept the challenge to interpret Samuel Beckett's 30 seconds play breath.
Here I want to express some of the word and their significance or hidden meaning,
1) Faint light on stage.
Light is it on significant that something good happen,
2) Miscellaneous rubbish.
Means in human life we are suffering so many problems or, rubbish means like something not good or bad memory or darker side of our Humanities.
3) Hold about five seconds.
It means something good and bad both the happening together .
4) Brief and cry
Means someone die and someone is born both the thing happened together at one side one human is dying and another side someone is born.
5) silence and hold for about five seconds
Means at one time our life is stable or there is nothing in our life there is no aim to achieve ,
6) Immediately cry
Means at that time someone was not born but dad ,
7) Curtain down
Means our life is ended.
One more interpretation we can give it.
In this xxxii we see that first when someone is breathing like mother is breathing and after finally 9 month process a baby come to in earth and first started crying .
" Silence and hold for about five seconds "
It's our journey what we have done in our life what we achieve what we get by education how we struggle ,
" Immediately cry "
At that time there is no happiness it's reflect that someone is dying.
" Silence and hold about five seconds "
One more time its reflex that how our life is not possible without someone else and when someone is dying our life became frozen.
" Curran down "
Finally its death.
Conclusion
It's all about to journey Born To Die and what we have achieved and what we have lost and our struggle and finally the trouble are reflected here and it's try to explain our journey Born To Die
In Shashi Tharoor interview I find two three things which very prominent argument like
1) GDP growth,
2) exploitation of human sources, Natural sources,
3) they are not come for to settle down they only exploit the natural resources and earning money was the target.
Orientalism and which five concept I like after reading Edward side interview transcript
Here I share the five concept which I understand :-
1) Narration of History
------> how West narrate the east or middle east part and how the Portrait Arab people and you people and the Philistine imaginative Homeland.
-----> what was the real reason behind that why America supporting to Israel and Israel become anti Arab that is the question that history have to answer ?
2) How Muslim people portrayed in film.
--------> many films end up with huge numbers of bodies, Muslim
bodies strewn all over the place, the result of Arnold Schwarzenegger or Chuck Norris,
lot's of films about guerrillas going into kill Muslim terrorists. So the idea of Islam is
something to be stamped out.
3) America afraid for Muslims
-----> Jihad in America
4) How Western media represent Middle East Army related fake news
--------> the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, which had been preceded
by a lot of images and discussions in the media in the popular press about how the
Arabs are cowardly and they don't know how to fight and they are always going to be
beaten because they are not modern. And then everybody was very surprised when the
Egyptian army crossed the canal in early October of 1973 and demonstrated that like
anybody else they could fight. That was one immediate impulse.
5.) Co-existence
---------> In which Jew and Areb, Muslim Christian and Jew can live to there in some Polity.
The reluctant Fundamentalist this movie also based on postcolonial study or best example of postcolonial studies . Its major only speak about after 9/11 attack and post 9/11 attack what happened with some Nation or Nations countries people how they are treated in America this movie is speak about them that American police are doubting some people just because of their name and I didn't are Muslim.
Its begin with Sufi qawwali going on and at the same time the foreigner professor is kidnap and now secret agencies are worried for him and the story begin.
Movie majorly talks in two persons dialogue delivery but at one point it is in present and sometime it's in his past so that is the combination of movie the two person are talking and past and present are both are connected we find it.
Majorly to character are speaking Genghis Khan and Bobby Lincoln. Baby Lincoln is journalist and he comes to Pakistan to get Genghis Khan's interview but Genghis Khan not gives interviews date and finally he gives date to Bobby Lincoln and there is the interview goes on and the both try to goes in past and present what's towards going on.
Majorly year we find that third world countries people have dream a Desire that go to America dream of America that we see by Genghis point of view.
Genghis Khan father r local poet and their family belong to Royal family but now time is changed and the capitalist or business communities related people are also become a royal family there are upcoming new Royal people
Like Genghis Khan say that :- " in my neighborhood now new Prince are coming "
And finally Genghis Khan reach to America and started collagen and he is advisor of very biggest international company and started his study.
And his professor are also impressed with his knowledge and other people are also impress at that time someone ask that what you want to become after 30 age
Genghis Khan reply that " I want to be an a dictator of some of the nuclear power research or missile weapon "
At that time is all colleagues will vary lightly humorously say that " Osama ".
And finally he meet one American girl Erica , and finally I fell in love with Erica.
And some of the project he went to Philippines and then he get his first achievement and people are appreciate he is intelligency and there is one little party and professor game Well wishes for to his future.
And suddenly story is changed 9/11 attack will be happen and now Genghis Khan life is changing their is the one turning point in his life.
one more time we come in present and bob Lincoln asking question to Genghis Khan that : - " did you feel happy seeing this moment ? "
And there reply " yes I feel happy "
But suddenly Genghis Khan was asking to Bobby Lincoln that :- " I hope so then when you people kill 1 lakh innocent people in Baghdad you are also feel happy ? "
Then one more time story move in past and we find that returning to the America Sanjay Khan facing trouble in airport that secret agency are asking to come inside inside for checking just because they are thinking that he is also suspect of this 9/11 attack.
After that one more tragedy will happen with Genghis Khan when her girlfriend also making one event and he gives title that " one Pakistani boyfriend "
For Genghis Khan it's like and discriminate his image you feel shame is and also angry on his belief that are you portrayed me as a terrorist but Erica not intend to portrait him as a terrorist but she praise his propose or love to change is Khan but Sangeet cannot understand and after that come back to Pakistan.
And now he becomes a professor and his teaching to students that we have to make our future here and not we have to desire that we will go to First World Country like America and and we have to make our career why we cannot make our career here we make our nation great we make our Nation's policy people and everything good or great that we never go outside for jobs for education.
One more time we come in present and we find that the bob Lincoln and Genghis Khan are talking and Bob Lincoln call asking question about professor which few day ago kidnap and also asking making victimize that Genghis Khan was the suspect that he make all thing and he was the jihadi that is influencing to to the student to become jihadi and also he is involved in a kidnapping of Professor.
But end of the story bobolink and asking the question of professor and some of the terrorist group activity done by Genghis Khan but Genghis Khan clear that what was the real thing happened and clear the doubt of Bob Lincoln and at the he get one message that professor is kill but this message is not right it's a wrong message delivered by someone else and he doubted that Genghis Khan order to kill professor but when secret agency tell that we get professor location and professor is safe he reached his home at that time Bob feel very bad that still he has not trust on changes. Of you Changezi is right.
Postcolonial point of view :-
Here we see that after 9/11 attack American government as doubted or suspect to the all people which the name is different their identity are not American but they are foreign Traveller and they belong to the any Arabic country then people always look him as a suspect or looking with some terrorist point of view .
After 9/11 attack America fields Muslim phobia that all people who are migrated are coming in America if they are Muslim then we have to worried just because they are terrorist also.
It is a related with postcolonial study and very best example to study of postcolonial.
Story begin with first world war and with India's democracy is very darkest decision like Emergency. Also speak about three generations story. Here author explain his experience and relate with Nation born. Nation and protagonist both are born on at same time. Two Main character are there Salim and Shiv and and Meri change the destiny of both the child and how the tragedy occurs between the children's life are portrayed here
Story begin with Kashmir and saleems grandparents how they meet in Kashmir start with this angle story moves ( 1917 ) directly or indirectly it speak about Indira Gandhi is born.
It also reflect that how first world war was coming to his and.
After towards story moves to the Agra and it's time of second generation is coming like protagonist mother and father are meeting hey get married and its period of 1942 the world is is afraid of Second World War one side for Colony its comes with happiness and for colonies master it's come with very sad just because after Second World War the colonize master have no control on their Colony and all Colony becomes free.
And finally the protagonist born at midnight 12 o'clock and two Nation are also become born or get independence that's why the movie and novels title is at a significant at midnight children its on reflect.
In 1947 Salim comes in the earth and also India and Pakistan both Nation our Bond and Salim has spend his early childhood in Bombay and his father is Businessman and facing so much trouble after getting a new government is apply some [ Planning Commission ] of the restriction that he is harmful for his business like in our current Nations condition GST and demonetisation very effective our Businessman community.
In 20th century we find that there is no one truth of history there is so many truth written by peoples are writers like in Salman Rushdie novel or moving in midnight's children we find that he never explain any political view but still we find in his magical nest that all political views and history are coming in his moves with some satire and some iron its reflected and measuring its against to the capitalism and it support to the Marxist it's not directly but indirectly it's reflect.
And also movie plot is too much complicated to understand this because there are so many complicated relationship between men and women and political condition are also describe with connect to the life.
Here I want to share some of the example of movie that present that how politics and their personal life are connected,
1) Mumtaz has relationship with his first love for husband Nadir , after some circumstances Mumtaz marry with Ahmed Shenoy and he gets two child a boy name Salim and girl Jiya and boy called midnight children. ( narrator the talk about Nanavati case which was happen ) given context of his mother's relationship with his first lover.
2).Salim find that his mother after marriage still meet his first we love and at that time the background we see the image of [Mother India ] film poster it it's on significant that something is reflected here very highly.
3) Vanita exploited by William Methwold.
4) general Zulfikar and emory marriage happened.
First the all as one family but after partition or after getting a Independence The become two different different family to become different nation civilians.
In hospital when Saleem was born at that time nurse has changed the babies and she thinks that now the time is come that reach becomes poor and poor becomes rich and store it gets new twist and so many peoples life are changed by one person decision.
* Indo Pak Wars related to the movie*
Majorly Salim Spanish time in his aunt home in Karachi and later on his mother and father also come there and he meet them and they live and after that suddenly one more tragedy occurs like the [ first Indo Pak war ] was started and Salim lost his family in one war
When the second time war will started its gets 6 years time and Salim has forgot his past memory by one ,
{ [ spittoon ] and spittoon is significant that you should try to remember something but is the memory will erase your past memory.}
Second war Bangladesh civil war
Second war is independent of Bangladesh and at that time we find that Salim has also struggling for his own identity just because Saleem don't know about what's happened with him and last 6 year his sleep so he don't know is past only some of the words and only one [ Spittoon ]reminder there.
At the end finally Saleem meet Parvati and it gets about his own identity and how he has some magical power that he called all midnight children and make one discussion with them it's a reflect the India and India's different states how they are connected with each other yeah it's reflected and Salim initiative was to help them.
Finally in 1972 Saleem reach to India it's reflect the immigrants of Bangladeshi who come in India they are the migrator this because of afred of the Civil War.
Here in movie we find that how to be occur in the and of the movie just for first thing was the Pokhran 1 [ 1972 ]happen and second was the Emergency [ 1975 - 1977 ] comes in the India darkest decision of the democracy history and has notice.
[ NOT :- " Picturesingh " it's reflected India is a nation of snake charmer
" Parvati " it's reflect that India still believe in superstitious blind faith black magic and all other thing ]
After emergency is over then Salim go back to home and find that did Parvati was alive but Parvati was not alive but get one beautiful child a boy and name is " Adam ",
At the end of the movie, the family has a Hindu grandfather(Picturesingh), a Christian grandmother(Mary), a Muslim Father(Saleem), and a son who can be consider as mixture of different identities and again as Midnight’s children.
Postcolonial point of view in this movie :- According to Oxford dictionary :-
1) new country
2) fermentation
3) settlement
1). Here in this movie we find that new countries are rising.
2). The child exchanging it's on significant that the fermentation happening. Means that there is no purity find it who is the original one only way that cannot be clear.
3). And doing a settlement of two Nations partition. According to Annaya loomba :-
1) when the new countries are found means there are lots of bloodshed happened then the new countries are rising that was earlier Loom was first. That which Oxford dictionary as not defined.
2) doing fermentation at that time the what happened with original people of aboriginal people we remove their history and put other history with our own point of view.
Example :- " Origin of Aryans "
3) sometime we think that it is settlement but this settlement make lots of people homeless property less they become poor they migrate to newland which they are not familiar.
One more example I have to give which also base on the same theme
In this we also find it the story telling or story narration is very differently told and each and every political movement and historical movement are also concluded but with some connect with the protagonist life.
