Don't we all feel a little like Alan sometimes - Review of God Of Carnage or God of Carnage Review

God Of Carnage is a play written by Yasmina Reza. The play was originally written in French and called “Le Dieu du carnage” and premiered in 2006.

It is best to avoid 3 ands in one sentence, as this creates a run-on sentence.

The film adaption “Carnage”, directed by Roman Polanski, is an international co-production of France, Germany, Spain and Poland starring American, English and Austrian actors.
The Broadcast version of the play as well as (and) the movie are set in modern Brooklyn whilst the original was set in Paris.
Previous to the actual play, there are two boys, Henry Novak and Benjamin Raleigh in the play, Ethan Longstreet and Zachary Cowan in the film, having a fight over whether Benjamin could join Henry’s gang or not, ending with Benjamin hitting Henry with a stick. The play starts with the parents of both children coming together at the Novak’s house in order to talk over the fight and find a solution.

The conversation starts with everyone acting truly civilised, but gets more and more out of hand. The characters, all portraying very stereotypical figures, e.g. Alan being the working dad who does not have time for his family, Veronica caring a little too much about people finding her civilised and sophisticated, start showing their true faces and not only being honest but also very cruel and aggressive at some point. This leads to emotional outbursts, sarcasm and alcohol which does not only make the audience laugh, but also makes them sympathise with the characters.

The film adaption stays very true to the original with many lines being exactly the same. Changing the names of some characters is the only thing that attracts the attention of the audience as a major difference.
 
All in all, I believe the drama/play as well as the film are very appealing and entertaining. The discussion never gets boring and the ordariness simplicity of the characters makes us all realise that it could be anyone sitting in that living room and getting all emotional over trivial matters like some children’s fights (not sure what you mean here). After all, don’t we all feel a little like Alan sometimes?

This leads to emotional outbursts, sarcasm and alcohol abuse, which does not only makes the audience laugh, but also makes them sympathise with the characters.

Sehr gut! The play points out the roles people have to play to be "good" citizens, "good" parents, "good" neighbors, etc., and how those roles can come into conflict, so that simple children's fights spiral into family wars.
