Hysteria is the ultimate vulnerability

Under heavy makeup, wigs, and strong light, Vivien Leigh looked weak and old, as if she had withered away. I was very concerned

. I used to be very obsessed with her. Her pure smile and those two naughty eyes that flashed with inspiration, and this character It does seem to belong to her. Blanche and Vivien Leigh have the same sensitivity, self-pity and neuroticism in their bones, but the interpretation of this role almost exhausted Vivien Leigh's blood. She had just had two miscarriages before, and she couldn't bear to think about her physical condition, and her last nerve was on the verge of collapse. .

In fact, Oscar's aura doesn't give her more when she's alone. The other end of the nerve is total, fragile hysteria.
Is hysteria a kind of toughness? Of course, it is not
the most vulnerable bottom line, the dilemma and struggle with no way out, but at this time, Oliver wrote to Vivien Leigh, hoping to dissolve the marriage, and he "begged" Vivien Leigh to "give him freedom". .
fatal blow. .

Depressed psychosis and tuberculosis have been tormenting her. She began to drink heavily. The hallucinations after drinking are her only comfort. The hallucinations brought about by alcohol are longer than tobacco, and the blurred and uncaptured are flying above the memory. .

On December 2, 1960, Vivien Leigh signed the divorce agreement
. On July 7, 1967, Vivien Leigh fell asleep in her bedroom.
On October 8, 1967, her ashes were sprinkled on Lake Tickley.

Vivien Leigh once said innocently, "A Half of a woman's charm comes from her fantasy"

How can the boundary between reality and fantasy be so clear?
The charm of a woman slips and breaks in the slip of the childlike fantasy. The feeling of being free from the border is very quiet, very personal, and even a little self-sufficient and steady, but fear is always with you, and if you are unprepared, it is a push.

If I used to think about Oliver from Vivien Leigh's point of view , but I remembered that I used to cry hysterically and begged others to be released, so I also had a layer of "sympathy" for Oliver. Most of the firmness was probably born on the edge of the cliff


. It's still a relatively bad thing to give the focus.

Vivien Leigh's trajectory may be complete, although I don't believe in fate, although I am not really optimistic, but it is purely a personal matter, Vivien Leigh is still beautiful in my heart. .

A Streetcar Named Desire quotes

  • Stanley: She is as famous in Laurel as if she was the President of the United States, only she is not respected by any party.

  • Stanley: She moved to the hotel called Flamingo which is a second class hotel that has the advantages of not interfering with the private and social life of the personalities there. Now the Flamingo is used to all kinds of goings-on. But even the management of the Flamingo was impressed by Dame Blanche. And in fact, they were so impressed that they requested her to turn in her room-key for permanently. And this, this happened a couple of weeks before she showed here... The trouble with Dame Blanche was that she couldn't put on her act any more in Oriel because they got wised up. And after two or three dates, they quit and then she goes on to another one, the same old line, the same old act, and the same old hooey. And as time went by, she became the town character, regarded not just as different but downright loco and nuts. She didn't re. sign temporarily because of her nerves. She was kicked out before the spring term ended. And I hate to tell you the reason that step was taken. A seventeen-year-old kid she got mixed up with - and the boy's dad learned about it and he got in touch with the high-school superintendent. And there was practically a town ordinance passed against her.
