Passion..KLPAC

We, TESL sem 4 students were assigned to watch a play in town. Most of us went there, scheduled on the night of april fool.. The play started at 8.30p.m. 'Passion' by Joe Hasham to me is quite seductive play, few sexual arousal activity and silent play. The most repeated utterances in this play is in the beginning and once in the end of the play.

"Life is so strange.. For two years I have been betrayed.."

In general, it is all about passion of love, men fighting for a women or vise versa, the cofusion in love based on the passion in dancing. In the end we revealed that the two women are actually lesbians. The expressions of the feelings by the characters and the technical sounds portray the conflicts in the play. In conclusion, I do not really understand what the play is all about, but I think the main character has done a very great job in exposed the feelings of passion. So did the other few characters, they had done really well and the message had conveyed successfully even there is not much utterances in the play.
I had really enjoyed the moment, and later, when we have the opportunity, we would have arrange the second trip to watch another fantastic play.

As You Like It

The next movie that I really enjoy is ‘As You Like It’. I think it is quite simple and suitable for beginner learners. The main theme is true love, where it indicates the audience to be more appropriate and sensitive in love. In this particular play, we can see that both the main characters, Orlando and Rosalind have to pass all of the obstacles in order to be with each other. Another interesting part is the way they express their love through poems. I was so amazed on how they manage to communicate where there is still no communication technology invented. In overall, I have learned something new and it is a good example of true love with a great ending. The play is entertaining, besides educational to us.

Streetcar Named Desire

Streetcar Named Desire is my most preferable play of all. It is quite simple for us, and understandable. It start when Stanley Kowalski, Stella’s husband having tragic with Blanche.
He is loyal to his friends, passionate to his wife, and heartlessly cruel to Blanche. Later on, he becomes such as a disturbing degenerate, beating his wife and rapes his sister-in-law. He shows no regret. In the other hand, Blanche represents the women flirting with guys. Even she has lost her painful pastime, but I still uneasy with her life style. She should not flirting around as a teacher whom to be known as innocent. The most terrible is when she asks Mitch to marry her. But, after all, one thing felt sad is that her relationship has been destroyed by Stanley and she has been raped by Stanley and she had been committed to an insane asylum at last.

Pygmalion and Shakespeare Walla


Pygmalion and Shakespeare Walla are quite different from each other. Obviously Pygmalion is more interesting and i enjoyed it so much. It is a movie that describes how accent can determine economic opportunity and social status. It also provides an introduction to phonetics and to the Greek myth of Pygmalion. The movie allows children to work through the romantic situations of Eliza, Higgins and Eliza's friend, Freddie. Eliza demonstrates an inner strength that will not accept the limitations of a class system that denies the intrinsic value of the individual. This is a very nice movie where a girl from a florist family become a standard class women. In contrats, Shakespeare Walla, is a boring movie until the end. I do not really understand the message he tries to convey.
