poor person must have something mean

The success of the film is that it does not glorify life.
It is said that the Streetcar Named Desire is a subversion of the old Hollywood wit and beauty model in history. But for half a century, in literary and artistic works, the middle class has been criticized and beaten down countless times by angry young people, so today it seems that this aspect is nothing new.
On the other hand, angry young people from the middle class who regard Che Guevara as their idol, while criticizing the middle class, will unconsciously use condescending fantasies to beautify the life of the bottom society. To bring down one class to beautify the opposite class. That's just not the case in movies, where you don't see the director affirming anyone, there's no real good guy, and there's no real bad guy. Under the shadow of the social giant, they are all poor people, but they are all so hateful. You can't tell if life created them or if they created life.
This is also the unpopular part of this film. Young people will feel dissatisfied after watching it. They are sad and angry, and they vow to pursue their ideals and pursue true love. But when they turn around, life will pat them on the shoulder, shrug their shoulders, and spread out their hands helplessly: I don't have these two things

    Looking at the top five film reviews below, none of them mentioned that the South's refusal to reform after the Civil War led to social poverty, American geopolitics, etc. It was all about love and confusion. Soul, fragility, and gorgeous. So I always feel that from the perspective of history and politics/teacher speaks movies much better than Chinese or art department, because what really touches people is not technology but humanity. What is the difference between asking the audience to empathize with the difficult technology and leaving the original to the end?

    The iron cavalry of the times drives by mercilessly, and the untimely people can only steal their lives; Vivien Leigh portrays this neurotic, self-deceptive but pitiful Blanche into the woods three-pointers, and the brando in the play is not let down by the wind, wild and straightforward. The existence of Stanley is the opposite of Blanche; a textbook of black and white photography of night scenes.

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.
