A few lines.

"I'm sorry to say, he's ordinary.

You don't forget how we were brought up, do you think there is still a gentleman in his nature?

He acts like a beast. He has many beast qualities, and even some parts are not human-like. He is 40,000 years behind. This is Stanley Kowalski, the outstanding survivor of the Stone Age, who captured raw meat from the virgin forest, and you, you are here waiting for him. Maybe he will hit you, kiss you or complain to you. If kissing had been discovered then, what he called a poker night, it would have been the convention of the apes. "

"Maybe we're all too far from God's expectations."

"But, Stella, we've made progress since then, art, poetry, music, and since then, among some people, there's been some mild emotion, and we're going to carry it forward, we're going to hold on to it. Let it be in the dark ranks, or wherever we go, don't, don't let the beast stand in our way."

...

"He (fantasy millionaire) is a gentleman and he respects me. All he needs is personal company.

Rich people often feel lonely, and an educated, smart and polite person can add endless meaning to a man. I have those things to offer, time doesn't matter. The beauty of appearance will decline, it is just a passing cloud. But nobility of mind, richness of soul, and kindness of heart, I have all these things, which will not be taken away by others, but will only increase with the years. It is strange that some people call me poor, but in fact I have so many treasures in my heart that I think I am a very rich woman. "

...

"No matter who you are, I often rely on the kindness of strangers."

    #Shanghai Film Festival# It’s especially interesting to compare the recently watched Blue Jasmine, the actress Vivien Leigh’s performance is still better than the actress Kate, but the milfs are able to do well with Gu Ying’s self-pity, how could it be that Vivien Leigh could play Blanche , this is the tragedy of the times and character, an example of how an out-of-time literary woman kills herself.

    They told me to take a streetcar named Desire, change to a place called the cemetery, take another 6 blocks, and get off at Paradise. The most unbearable is Vivien Leigh's old face, and the most amazing is Marlon Brando's savage and raw sexiness... I wonder if there is another bad embryo in this world who can be as sexy and aggressive as him.

A Streetcar Named Desire quotes

  • Stanley: I never met a dame yet that didn't know if she was good-looking or not without being told, and there's some of them that give themselves credit for more than they've got.

  • Blanche: Whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers.
