in the dust

To be honest, when I watched the movie, I didn't really know what the movie was about. The main reason is that the heroine's past experience is vague and unresolved. From the beginning to the end, it is the acting of Vivien Leigh and Brando! ! The film is really born out of drama. The entire 2-hour movie is 95% in two scenes: the room interior and the doorway outside the stairs. Vivien Leigh has a lot of close-ups of her facial expressions, especially her half-insanity look. After I came back and checked some information, I found that the highlight of this film is the acting skills of the two protagonists, and the plot is really not important. In modern terms, it shows those girls whose hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper. They live in the dust, but they fantasize about an elegant and leisurely life; they earn a lunch box for themselves, but their minds are full of poetry, cruise vacations, dramas and concerts. Before there was no Internet, all this was interpreted as a very literary phenomenon: human desires, broken dreams, rough reality, and so on. Now with the Internet people are sharper and meaner than before, and this phenomenon can be summed up in one word: Mary Sue fantasy. If you have the life of the princess, you can do whatever you want with your dreams, such as Paris and Victoria; but if you don't have the life of the princess, you don't have to get the disease of the princess. An ordinary person lives every day. If you think that you should be a princess, then go for it yourself. Princess Kate is a typical example. Without the princess's life, she still sighs all day long, lamenting that the people around her are so rude and vulgar, and their living conditions are poor, so that's it. . . . . . . . . . Brando is so evil in this movie. Especially when the facial expressions are photographed in close-up, the undercurrent of indifference, rough simplicity and ferocity. But, however, the last thing I want to say is: Vivien Leigh is so beautiful! ! Every time she pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed, my whole soul flew out~~~~~~

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.
