Although the title of the film already suggests it, at the beginning I admired Blanche's "poeticness" somewhat, and sneered at Stanley's rough, "patriarchal supremacy" (though by the end of it). But with the development of the plot, I feel more and more that Blanche is a dream girl.
If the chasm between Blanche and Stanley is spiritual, the rift between Blanche and Stella is a real choice. Stella chooses reality in order to survive, while Blanche has been indulging in dreams: poetic, noble, refined. Originally, these were no problem, but the actual situation is that "material can't keep up with spirit", and most people give in or even compromise in the face of reality. Excessive pursuit in reality is too ethereal and will only confuse reality. Despite Blanche's emphasis on her "spiritual richness," in my opinion, she's left with only a "gorgeous shell." She needs to live under the fence, to be attached to a decent man who is equally brilliant, and if there is no man, only Can fill the empty soul with flirt fishing. In the end, Blanche was brought down, and he was willing to join hands with the doctor to ride in the car. God, I was speechless for a while... (One thing to say, that part just finished making out with young man and then the next Mickey scene, too awesome...) Maybe after the poet, she is not looking for love, but just looking for someone to rely on, as long as the other party is a "gentleman". But Blanche's fall was equally tragic.
Stanley, who is completely different from Blanche, will definitely explode with Blanche (in two aspects...) The first person to drive Blanche crazy, after losing his temper, crying, crying and looking for his wife, Patriarchy, scumbag. He's savage, and he's irritated that Blanche shakes his position as head of the family. While maintaining his so-called "dignity", he still needs to rely on women. When Blanche first saw the couple quarrel and reconcile, his jaw was on the ground, and the explanation was "they love each other". There are still many such relationships today, and I don't know what they think in reality, but I feel uncomfortable about it, even if the reason is "they love each other". In the end, Stella said, "It will never go down again," and I'm afraid it won't last for three days.
The fall of Blanche is also the collapse of the beauty Vivien Leigh. Vivien Leigh was sent to the hospital after filming, and then she couldn't help thinking: Vivien Leigh really injected her emotion into Blanche. The more superb acting we saw of her, the more Vivien Leigh's heart was burned. Alas, beauties are always short-lived, only Gou Yigou can "advance for a long time".
