Vivien Leigh's peerless elegance

Starring Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando. Probably a movie classic. The general plot is that Blanche's early love tragedy, played by Vivien Leigh, led her to debauchery to fill the abyss of emptiness, but it also ruined her reputation. Unable to stay in her hometown, she goes to her sister who lives in a dirty apartment. The main line of the film is her conflict with Marlon Brando's brother-in-law, which eventually leads to her mental breakdown.

So far, I don't think any actress has been able to portray women's neuroticism, affectation, vanity, and vulnerability as perfectly as Vivien Leigh, probably because she is like that in real life. Her performance is quite theatrical, so that watching this film always feels like watching a stage play. After her marriage to Lawrence Oliver fell apart, she remained in a trance. Acting in this film is like reality, it is so perfect, but it also blurs the inside and outside of the scene, so that after the filming, I was sent to a mental hospital and died soon after.

The fledgling Marlon Brando's image in this film is rough, simple, sexy, and masculine, completely opposite to Vivien Leigh. Marlon Brando is a notoriously unruly prodigal, and it's a very fitting role to play. The youthful, muscular, sweaty vest has an air of masculinity everywhere. Marlon Brando was really an anomaly in that era. He created a new style of performance, abandoned the reserved reservedness of Hollywood, no longer well-dressed and sanctimonious, but with a natural and almost natural performance impact It shocked everyone and shocked the entire Hollywood. This is the method of acting that future generations have always talked about. It is a pity that Marlon Brando was sexy when he was young, and it is another completely different charm when he starred in "The Godfather" more than ten years later.

The two protagonists are so suitable, they don't need to show much, just show their own characteristics and psychology, and it is enough to perform "A Streetcar Named Desire" wonderfully.

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.
