If you don't analyze the background at that time, you really can't see the brilliance of this film. The story takes place in the United States, the decline of the southern aristocracy and the rise of the new working class in the north. The spark, I thought the story was too bland, but it was a story of a down-and-out woman who took refuge in her sister and brother-in-law and finally walked into a lunatic asylum, but if you think about it carefully, this movie is really terrifying for the performance of the sinful weakness of human nature. Vivien Leigh contributed her Oscar-winning acting skills, portraying a fragile and sensitive, pretentious, neurotic, vanity-loving, absurd woman who is addicted to self-fantasies. Blanche is pathetic and disgusting. The fantasy became a reality. Whenever her unrealistic dream was broken, in order to escape from reality, she always hid more in the closed world of self-imagination, so she became more and more crazy. I think it is very exaggerated, but if you think about it carefully, many people are not like this. They do not have the courage to face the blow of reality. They use alcohol or other methods to numb themselves. Fantasy will make people addicted.
Blanche used to be a southern aristocrat, she used to have everything she imagined, she was beautiful, rich, romantic, pursued by many admirers, and when she lost everything and her husband committed suicide, she chose to do it to escape reality A slut, one step is wrong, she can't look back, she can only live in her sister's house, imagining that she is an elegant noble, every day she takes a bath, wears beautiful clothes, smears powder and sprays perfume, but the reality is that there will be no such thing. The man is willing to marry her, and everyone in the movie is soberly watching her absurdity and irony. She's absurd, but she's so pathetic, when she calls the department store, crying and begging: help me, I fell into a trap. At that moment, I really couldn't dislike her, and because she was played by Vivien Leigh, Vivien Leigh's beauty and charm could not be ignored, even if I was stunned as soon as she appeared on the stage, she no longer killed the Quartet, but became haggard. , there is no more light in her eyes, but I still can't ignore her beauty, I can't hate this character.
Vivien Leigh has devoted her whole life to drama. She won two Oscars, one "Gone with the Wind" made her contract tuberculosis and destroyed her body, and the other was "A Streetcar Named Desire". After the performance, there was a problem with the mental state, and the final outcome of a generation of beauties was that they were still young and died of illness. The movie is really a good thing. Even if the person has passed away, her beauty and talent are retained, so that future generations will have a glimpse of her former elegance.
