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

    For Marlon Brando, it is too sexy, and even the ratio of Vivien Leigh is eclipsed. Why is the setting of Blue Jasmine so similar to this film? Is it a reference or a tribute?

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?
