Waiting For Godot: The Film

The film Waiting For Godot is a lot easier to understand then the novel.  The camera shots, the scenery, and the acting allow the reader to see what is going on and not get so confused with the dialogue.  For example, Lucky's speech on page 45 is a lot easier to understand watching it than reading it.  

One things I noticed in the film is that the viewer can always see the tree.  It doesn't matter who is speaking or what is going on in the film.  The tree is always present.  In the novel, the tree is also mentioned many times.  In Act 1, Estragon and Vladimir ponder hanging themselves using the tree and a belt.  In Act 2, Vladimir points out that the tree has more leaves than the previous day.  Every important detail is strongly expressed and shown in the film.
