By Namel_Weeramuni
Namel Weeramuni- ""A Dolls House"" adapted on to the silver screen from Henrik Ibsens' play Is brilliant. It talks of how two human beings have been fooling at ecah other in a superb human situation not understanding the intricacies that may ensue in the future when both behave secretly in order to keep both of their personalities and happiness undisturbed whilst suffering inside. Though that is the intention of the two cararcters the tragedy that emerges is exhaustive and devastating later when the true situation becomes revealed. What folly that takes place when real fcats and situations are not analysed and met reasoanbly by the parties properly. It is the behavioural pattern of the two characters of the Nora and Trevold enchantingly portrayed by Clair Bloom and Anthony Hopkins respectievely that becomes masterly to enliven the them of the play that becomes interesting. What a lovely film it is. Garland garlands beutifully the human behavior wonderfully in this film keeping it within the thematic and dramatic format without damaging what Ibsen wanted to come out in ""A Dolls House."" I would rate it as a clasic with the justice endowed into it by its brilliant and enlivening acting of the cast whether big or small. Every one was superb. They played their parts as real and the idea of reality expected by Ibsen is stamped well by Garland and his script writer.
