Distinctions and Differences

Now let's compare your reading of Dutchman with what you saw in the film version of Dutchman (the link I posted in the discretion) and note the differences. Write a 250-350 word response that incorporates the following elements in your comparison:

● Character - What struck you about the performances of Clay and Lula that was different from how you imagined them while reading the play? You can also consider such aspects as the costumes they wore and even their physical appearances.

● Setting - How is the setting of the subway car in the movie different from how you imagined it while reading the play? Did you expect it to be more modern, grungier?

● Imagery - What were some symbols or images in the movie version of Dutchman that you didn't pick-up on from just reading the play?

● How has seeing the film production changed your view of Baraka's play?
