After being recommended, I finished watching "A Streetcar Named Desire"
The 1951 film tells the story of Blanche's tragedy in 124 minutes. What I didn't expect was that this drama script written in 1947 could have the helplessness and tragedy that are also pain points in today's society. 124 minutes, the film's obscure representation of Blanche's co-wife status, her tragic marriage, women's dependence on men in the context of that era, the quality of the under-educated, domestic violence, and rape implied by the montage method.
Unlike many film critics, most of them lamented that Blanche lived too much in ideals, which eventually led to tragedy, a behavior that should be reflected. And I feel like what I see is more of Blanche's sadness. The life she wanted was out of step with reality, and she didn't want to wake up in a dream. She yearned for a spiritual destination, but her brother-in-law tore off her mask, revealing a bloody face, and was ruthlessly humiliated.
"Death is the opposite of desire," Blanche said as he broke down. Each one in the play has their own different desires, this time the desire is either dirty or compromised, and Blanche's desire is actually the best one. But she's also the only person on the show with mental problems.
When Blanche was taken away from the mental hospital under the watchful eyes of everyone, he suddenly remembered Mao Buyi's lyrics "Sober people are the most absurd".
Vivien Leigh's acting is really amazing. After seeing the last half hour, I was amazed by her acting skills in a strong infection. The madness, the collapse, the helplessness, the camouflaged brilliance and the final outburst.
Sleep, sleep, don't stay up late
