Vivien Leigh plays an extremely vulnerable woman, who is said to have been sent directly to psychiatric treatment after the filming. It is a waste of her talent for a good actress who is neurotic to take on such a role. Another example is Monroe's role in the random mandarin duck score, which is frank and distressing.
This movie shows the direct confrontation between two people. One kind of person has worn away all the protective layers in the sanding of the world, and is extremely fragile; the other has become the same texture as the original sharpening of it in the sanding. And the film ends with a day after Marlon Brando's character defiantly raped Vivien Leigh, Brando, the man who refused to accept her true experience, and several of their other friends sitting at a round table at home playing poker, Brando's newborn baby was crying in the room. Vivien Leigh was picked up by the medical staff of the mental hospital.
When Vivien Leigh took over this role, she also accepted the recognition, exposure and questioning of her vulnerable side. For Vivien Leigh, apart from hearing it in Monroe's story, watching the Blue Bridge of Soul Break, and the ending of her and Lawrence, I don't know anything else. But in this film, I began to understand why she is loved by so many people.
At the beginning of the film, the train station, I honestly didn't recognize Vivien Leigh. In the shot assigned to her in a hurry from the crowd, she was carrying her luggage, and her gait and expression were so ordinary, without light. The film's story was mostly done in Brando's home. You'll see Vivien Leigh taking a hot shower, changing her clothes, brushing her hair, and saying her lines in a theatrical tone. Although this tone is considered to be because the movie itself is a stage play, in fact, after thinking about it, the person played by Vivien Leigh is in an environment that is out of tune with her, and it is like living a life like a drama, and it can be slowly understood.
Looking at it, Bai Lanzhi played by Vivien Leigh gradually made people tired. Looking at the surrounding environment, people are always laughing and arguing. After a day's work, they go home and play a few games of poker with friends and friends, or they fight in the bowling alley. When my husband doesn't go home, he pours boiling water on the card table downstairs. But what about Blanche? Try on clothes, sing songs, brush your hair, and hope to be sheltered and included in your sister's home. This is life under two completely different values.
Even at the end of the film, Vivien Leigh said to the nurses, whoever you are, I have always depended on the kindness of strangers. But the ending is just a summary of her life. She depends on others, whoever they are, but asks for different things. She is contradictory, she seems to be more and more spiritualized, but in fact her spiritual realm has been receding. She backed away again and again. In the beginning, the love she pursued was killed by her sharp and realistic language; later, no matter who she was, she only sought consolation, whether it was a seventeen-year-old boy or a young man delivering a newspaper; until finally she wanted to dedicate herself to a A man who is not attractive to her at all.
There are two things about Vivien Leigh that impress me the most. The first one was eating by the lake with the person who was pursuing her (probably by the lake), the man made a plain but sincere confession: I need someone, you need someone, could it be you and me? Her expression in the trance of memories was originally dim, but it was instantly lit up. She hugged the person in front of her with tears in her eyes, and she felt redeemed by God. She was happy at that moment, perhaps because she thought she had nothing else to ask for. And in the end, this man couldn't accept her past, the reason was: you are not clean enough, I can't bring you to my mother. Hearing this, you see, Vivien Leigh is still a woman objectified in his eyes , I don't want you anymore, because you are not up to the standard. The other shot is at the end of the film. Vivien Leigh slowly stopped resisting during the fight with the medical staff, and lay peacefully on the floor with her face turned upside down in front of the camera, as if she had finally given up.
Who in the world allows you to indulge yourself, everyone has their own affairs to be busy with, and others to love. Vulnerable people, you should also have at least one or two things to be busy with, allowing you to stand in the world and let you have the bottom line of being a human being. Because of desire, people who cannot stand in the world cannot afford to consume it. Without a bottom line, it is easy to indulge their desires. At this time, desire no longer leads you forward, but instead takes you to a place called a cemetery. There you will bury your soul with your own hands.
