She had to leave the dream manor she was deeply attached to, boarded a streetcar named Desire, then changed to the cemetery, and got off at Paradise Square Station, to start a life that bears the spiritual tragedy of all mankind. That's how the movie A Streetcar Named Desire began. The hostess, played by Vivien Leigh, announces that Lanci grew up in a declining aristocratic family in the southern Mississippi state of the United States in the 20th century. She has innate beauty, nobility, talent and elegance, and has longed for a full and happy poetic life since childhood. She married a young and talented poet whom she loved. However, the poet escaped from reality and was unable to save the dream manor that represented the spirit of the southern aristocracy in the era of big industry and gradually declined. One day, Blanche stumbles upon her husband having a gay relationship with another older man, her beautiful dreams being shattered for the first time by the madness of reality.
As a poet, the husband could not bear the indifference, resentment and ridicule of his wife, and finally pierced his throat with a pistol, taking the lead in ending his life entangled with dreams, desires and fear of death. Since then, Blanche, who has become a widow, no longer has pure and impure dreams. She is infected by her husband's spiritual loss and fear of death. However, in the face of a no longer beautiful family, reality and life, Blanche, whose nerves are stimulated and weak in the face of reality, can only find the phantom of his dream and the sense of belonging to his life in a new love. However, in this era when love has become desire, the young and beautiful Blanche has naturally become the object of desire and pleasure, and has become notorious in love games again and again. A few years have passed, and the disappearance of youth has made Blanche no longer the object of men's pursuit of beauty. The loneliness and loss have deepened her fear of the decline of life and her nostalgia for her teenage years. Blanche does not hesitate to seduce a 17-year-old boy on campus to maintain his poor fantasy. The boy's father sues the school, causing Blanche to be cast aside and lose his teaching job. Blanche has always longed for a perfect life where the body and soul are united, but in reality, the world of separation of body and soul makes her physically and mentally exhausted, and she is gradually approaching the brink of schizophrenia. At the same time, the vain life made Blanche exhausted her family property, and had to sell her dream estate to pay off her debts, and then went to marry her sister in New Orleans. . .
