YouTube only demonstrated a section of video at a time on the side-bar relative links which got me a bit "vexed" after finding out there were 4 more divided parts. Yet, the video was far more interesting than the script due to the fact that now I had a visual aid to help me interpret. The video showed Krapp's madness very well, and I think the actor is truely awesome. The scene where he "passionately" ate the bananas left me with a huge laughter, but as I was pulled deeper into his acting my laughter was gone. Although I thought he was insane, it was at the same time very probable that this could happen to just about anyone. This post, I want to analyze the actor.
I want to give the actor a lot of credits for his great acting skills. I agreed with most comments in YouTube - the majority of them were compliments towards the actor. The part where he madly cleared out his desk was realistic that I flinched a bit. Well not really, but you get my point.
At Part 2, as he listens to his tapes, I saw his eyes trembling as if he was vividly recalling the memories. Soon, he was completely dazed out and was living in the past along the voices from the recording machine, because his eyes were out of focus. I did not know why he was sweating profusely until I heard his sick coughing and learned a small walk to his room meant excessive amount of exercise to him.
The part I liked the most about his acting was when he was desperately rewinding the tape to hear about his long lost love. He squeeked like a mad man when his first few attempts failed, but when he heard "so I put my face on her breasts", he was close to passing out from the pleasure he had felt.
