      The collision of poetic hypocrisy and candid wildness

      Fei Liwen was also deeply mentally tortured at the time. A few years ago, I watched "Gone with the Wind" (the movie version of "Gone with the Wind") and felt that it was not easy to love Scarlett Hao. She was brave, decisive, intelligent and truthful but also selfish. But I still love Scarlett Hao. In a Streetcar Named Desire, she was once again caught up in her delusional fantasies. Her arrogance and conceit seem like an alienated development of civilization, but I can't bear to blame those...

      living is a feat

      Talk about some superficial feelings

      When I was young, I set a flag for myself, saying that I would commit suicide when I was 30, because I couldn't be as old as I was when I didn't know what it meant to be alive when I was so old.

      And when you're 30, you realize that being alive is an incredibly difficult feat, because living will kill all your idealism. Whoever lives will eventually become Stanley.

      Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable

      Four stars because I love Vivien Leigh, I think I'll break down if I watch it again.

      Probably because I'm also a bit idealistic, so some of the comments will be extreme.

      They let me take a streetcar called Desire, transfer to Cemetery, ride six blocks and get off on Paradise Road.

      So Blanche took her desire to be loved and set foot on the cemetery - a place with Stanley. I really hate Stanley, I think...

      "A Streetcar Named Desire"

      A few lines.

      "I'm sorry to say, he's ordinary.

      You don't forget how we were brought up, do you think there is still a gentleman in his nature?

      He acts like a beast. He has many beast qualities, and even some parts are not human-like. He is 40,000 years behind. This is Stanley Kowalski, the outstanding survivor of the Stone Age, who captured raw meat from the virgin forest, and you, you are here waiting...

      "A Streetcar Named Desire"

      A very familiar name, after hesitating for a long time, I clicked in. The American dramas of the 50s and 60s are very attractive to me, because of an inexplicable so-called style. To be honest, it is selfish. After all, Marlon Brando only watched the first part, which is different from the current American TV series, and it is most reflected in the values. Over the past fifty years, feminism has grown tremendously. There were two cases of domestic violence in the first 30...

      For Marlon Brando, it is too sexy, and even the ratio of Vivien Leigh is eclipsed. Why is the setting of Blue Jasmine so similar to this film? Is it a reference or a...

      I love Vivien Leigh, but I really don't like this movie. If all the bad boys in the world look like Marlon Brando, I think I'd like to be destroyed...

      To tell the truth, only gays can write such a script in which both male and female characters are insane. Vivien Leigh's past roles + mental illness + gossip make this film even more shocking. If a woman does not restrain her coquettish nature, it will kill her. . Especially when Brando's wife is pregnant and giving birth to a baby. . This is the sad song of an older literary and artistic young...

      #Shanghai Film Festival# It’s especially interesting to compare the recently watched Blue Jasmine, the actress Vivien Leigh’s performance is still better than the actress Kate, but the milfs are able to do well with Gu Ying’s self-pity, how could it be that Vivien Leigh could play Blanche , this is the tragedy of the times and character, an example of how an out-of-time literary woman kills...

      Vivien Leigh has a precise grasp of the role, and Brando's attention to detail is impeccable. The blurred outlines of the characters become clear and full as the plot progresses, just as Stanley tore away Blanche's self-paralyzing fantasy disguise step by step, exposing the swaying withered soul to everyone's eyes. But all this is not as tragic as Brando's handsomeness! That irresistible charm that cannot be tamed and cannot...

    Behind the scenes

    Due to the conflict between the " Hays Code " and the script, the review office proposed that some dramas must be deleted after delivery, and some plots were downplayed. In addition, there is also the conflict between the IOC Ethics Commission and the film. The film was almost classified as "not suitable for Catholics." The film was abridged. In the future, these deleted fragments will be fully presented   .
    For Marlon Brando, "A...

    Evaluation action

    The film has profound artistic attainments and is a representative work of the spirit of realism. The film reflects the opposition and conflict between idealism and realism, and gives each element of the film a metaphorical connotation in the context of the times (Comment on Popular Literature and Art)  .
    The content is strongly allegorical, and people eat each other due to "desire", forming a world where the weak can eat the strong....

    Movie quotes

    • Blanche: But some things are not forgivable. Deliberate cruelty is not forgivable! It is the one unforgivable thing, in my opinion, and the one thing of which I have never, never been guilty.

    • Blanche: [telephone rings and she rises out of seat] That's for me, I'm sure.

      Stanley: [pushes her back down roughly] Just keep your seat, I'm not so sure.

    • Stanley: [to Blanche] Will you shut up!

      [Resumes talking on the phone]

      Stanley: No, we got a noisy woman in the place.
