Robinson Crusoe

               On 22 September, we have watched the film of Robinson Crusoe which was directed by Luis Bunuel. Robinson Crusoe is a novel by Daniel Defoe. The story has been based on the life of Alexander Selkirk. Who lived for four years on a pacific island, which was renamed 'Robinson crusoe'.

             The first theme in the book is one of survival. In his experience being shipwrecked , Crusoe must think about what is absolutely necessary for physical survival.

The theme of survival leads to a second theme,w which is awareness that which our lives in civilization we constantly long for many things we do not actually need.
Thus Crusoe reflects on the theme, or sin , of covetousness.
                                                       (this is the picture of the island)

                  In the movie we find Robinson as  master and Friday as  Slave. Robinson’s behavior with Friday is like cruel. He talks with Friday in higher tone as like his boss or  master. He reaches Friday differences between white and Black people. He first teaches him MASTER  word. So we can say that this movie is about voyage and adventure of Crusoe.Even without any person he spends his life on island that scene touched me very well because we never think about life without any person. Even in absence of one or two members of family we feel something lonely and awkward. So it is admirable for Robinson that he has spent twenty eight years of his life without his family and also without any other person. So at last I want to say that this movie inspired me lot that nothing impossible without anything or anybody . If we decide to do something and if we try to make it fulfil it will surely fulfil. But attempt is necessary for any work.
              
              
                  Colonialism is very well presented through the character of Robinson Crusoe.From Robinson’s harsh language to the through changed in Friday’s life, those characters and those scenarios serves as an allegory of the colonial process. Robinson represented the discriminatory colonist, and Friday represented enslaved natives without identity. Robinson Crusoe’s harsh language, his imposition of the name, habit, culture, religion upon Friday, the mastering skill of Robinson, the complete change in Friday’s life, the setting up of a new empire in the deserted island all represented the colonial process. There are also some scene which raise our curiosity.For instance how Crusoe tries to stand his own empire on Island and also his efforts to build a shelter and his ways of living these all things are also shown that how difficult or struggleful life he has to face on Island as a sole survivor.

           The movie gave us much understanding about the novel Robinson Crusoe. But as Sir Dr. Dilip Barad says that we must watch movie to have an better understanding. the movie is directed from the perspective of the Director if we consider it as Answers it may harm our marks.
