Blanche is just a weak woman who can't adapt to northern society, or modern society. She, like many southern ladies, is stubbornly trying to retain her last grace. But the speed of social development is far from what they can imagine, and good fortune often makes people.
Her ex-husband was gay, so she blamed him, but she didn't expect his ex-husband to kill himself. After that, Blanche lived in endless pain and self-blame. She said that she was empty and needed someone to accompany her. In fact, she wanted to forget her ex-husband and her "mistakes" in the company of others. She seeks numbing pleasure from her depravity, mistakenly believing that it is atonement. She is really fragile and doesn't have the courage to face reality.
After coming to her sister's house, she and Stanley didn't like each other, but should there be a primitive attraction from the beginning, it can be seen from the eyes and body language of the two. Stanley occasionally went mad, but never violated Blanche, and finally raped Blanche when she was on the verge of madness.
There are not many characters in the movie, but everyone played very well, showing the madness, helplessness, pain, and contradictions of that era. The husbands and wives of the two houses upstairs and downstairs were noisy and fighting, but in the end they were reconciled as before, except that Stella left Stanley in the end, I don’t know if they will go back. Stella is really a good woman, patient, kind, hard-working, considerate, tolerant, but Stanley doesn't know how to cherish, Blanche has no luck.
Mickey is also a good man. He couldn't accept Blanche's deception, but he believed and loved Blanche very much at first, and he went to verify after hearing Stanley's words. When he finally saw Blanche struggling on the ground, he couldn't help rushing up and punching Stanley. It's just that his Xinzheng still can't accept an impure Blanche.
In short, in short, very sad, tragic. All good people don't get good results (society doesn't give them a chance to start over). Bad people are not necessarily so good, but because they have no conscience condemnation and no good pursuits (is this another way to adapt to the society at that time), they can continue to live undisturbed.
