The end of desire is sadness

When the music stopped abruptly after the gunshots, the curtain of <> Riscarlett should have fallen, and Blanche took a streetcar named Desire, trying to cross Cemetery Street and reach the Paradise District. But when the beauty no longer has the courage and strength, what may be left is just the nostalgia for the past. The intertwining of desires for the past and awareness of reality may explain Blanche's neuroticism. Whenever Blanche initiates neurotic fantasies in the film, the camera is always pointed at Stanley, who is laughing at her with the corners of his mouth crooked. To the son of a Polish immigrant, Blanche is nothing more than a woman who "wears 50 cents rented clothes" and thinks she is the Queen of Egypt. He also once said to her, "I don't believe that there are people who don't know how good-looking they are." The tragedy of Blanche is that she knows how good-looking she used to be, so much that she can't even see what she looks like now. level. Vivien Leigh on the screen looked haggard, and when she lifted her confused "cat's eye" a little, the wrinkles on her forehead would appear. At the moment when the streaming video changes, we stubbornly believe that the beautiful woman will stay on the screen like an image forever. But in reality, she was exchanged for a vain, rambling, neurotic lady at the end of the road. The flowers fall silently, and why should we hold on to the petals on the ground and give her a fragmented beauty.

It's not the type of movie I like, but Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando are so good, neurotic women who love vanity, vulgar and hateful men, three points. Although Vivien Leigh is old and fading in the play, I still think she is a mess.

Marlon Brando is super handsome, how can he come up with so many such handsome expressions? . . Even in the movies, even though there can be a thousand meanings and metaphors and reasons, the paranoid is unbearable. The film describes a delusional patient, Miss White Lotus, but it is not clear why she ended up insane and exhausted by others.
A Streetcar Named Desire quotes
-
Mitch: Oh I don't mind you being older than what I thought. But all the rest of it. That pitch about your ideals being so old-fashioned and all the malarkey that you've been dishin' out all summer. Oh, I knew you weren't sixteen anymore. But I was fool enough to believe you was straight."
-
Blanche: Straight? What's 'straight'? A line can be straight, or a street. But the heart of a human being?
