Poor woman in the world A streetcar named desire 1/14/2022

I heard about this movie for a long time and knew that it was starring Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, but I didn't know the plot of the movie. Not long ago, I saw the episode of Marge directing high school play in The Simpsons, so I wanted to check it out.

I think the hearts of many viewers will be like me. From the beginning, they are attracted by the beauty of the heroine, and then they are planted with suspicion by Stanley's questioning, and they are impressed by the free and easy "dare to love and hate" of the hero, and despise the heroine "to pretend to be pitiful. Spare tire", gradually developed a deeper understanding and sympathy for the heroine in the subsequent dialogues and monologues of the heroine, and realized that the sudden turn of the story will inevitably end in tragedy. The dialogue between Stella and Blanche, the sisters, shows Blanche's inner yearning for beauty, art, and a poetic life, but she has no ability (limited to her own ability, or to take care of family affairs after Stella leaves). Burden) to create such a life for herself, she can only hope for the kindness of others or even strangers, and finally ended in a tragic end, and her bad luck gave Stella an opportunity to see her situation and Stanley's life clearly. , at the end of the movie, she chose to leave decisively (although she only went to the upstairs neighbor's house, and the woman in the upstairs neighbor was also chased and beaten by her husband and chased and beaten her husband, and then after a heated argument, In a situation of quick reconciliation, it is unknown whether Stella can finally leave the domestic violence and become free in a real sense). Mitch's image is very vivid, he is a kind but traditional man, used to contrast with a more "bestial" man like Stanley.

The story of the movie is very interesting, and it also makes me sigh that the United States made a movie in 1951 to discuss human nature and good and evil. At that time, the new China was just established, and the speed of China's development in just a few decades is indeed amazing. Black and white films magnify the effect of light and shadow, seem to make the narrow space appear more cramped, and the transformation of people's faces and eyes appear more exaggerated.

Collect a few classic lines:

Deliberate cruelty is unforgivable.
Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.
he's common... He's like an animal. He has an animal's habits. There's even something subhuman about him. Thousands of years have passed him right by, and there he is. Stanley Kowalski, survivor of the Stone Age, bearing the raw meat home from the kill in the jungle. And you - you here waiting for him. Maybe he'll strike you or maybe grunt and kiss you, that's if kisses have been discovered yet.

A Streetcar Named Desire quotes

  • Blanche: Marry me, Mitch.

    Mitch: No, I don't think I want to marry you anymore... No, you're not clean enough to bring into the house with my mother.

  • Stanley: How about a few more details on that subject... Let's cop a gander at the bill of sale... What do you mean? She didn't show you no papers, no deed of sale or nothin' like that?... Well then, what was it then? Given away to charity?... Oh I don't care if she hears me. Now let's see the papers... Now listen. Did you ever hear of the Napoleonic code, Stella?... Now just let me enlighten you on a point or two... Now we got here in the state of Louisiana what's known as the Napoleonic code. You see, now according to that, what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband also, and vice versa... It looks to me like you've been swindled baby. And when you get swindled under Napoleonic code, I get swindled too and I don't like to get swindled... Where's the money if the place was sold?
