Waiting for Godot Video

In Waiting for Godot, the movie, you automatically see how the set is set up. It's very bleak, and dreary. Most of the color is gray, black, and white, and you see very little emotion excepts for the loss of hope. You get a sense of emptiness and also the hope that Godot will show up. Other than a few rocks around the ground, there isn't much to the set; however, the director makes sure that the tree is shown in every scene. He also makes sure that the angles are shown to what is seen by the characters and what they are doing. The director wants to make sure that you are aware of what's going on at all times, while still being able to understand the characters individually. The characters are ugly, and you can tell by their clothing that they are homeless or close to homeless. They've really given up all hope. The first scene is depressing, it's like the world had ended and they are waiting for a hero to come and save them. They are all simply suffering.
