One thing I'm puzzled about

One thing I'm very puzzled about is that "Gone with the Wind" was shot in 1939 and was in color, while "A Streetcar Named Desire" was shot in 1951, so why is it in black and white? This film is not a memoir.
I saw this film on TV when I was a kid. It’s too harmful that the film is not rated. My parents didn’t care about me. They thought that what could be broadcast on TV should be able to be watched by children, but I didn’t understand it at all. , I was most impressed by Marlon Brando yelling downstairs, which scared me a lot. There is also Vivien Leigh who was caught under the lamp and looked carefully, and sure enough, she was old-fashioned.
After so many years, re-watching this film, it is said to be re-watching, is basically not much different from the new watch. Overall, Vivien Leigh's acting is very good, maybe a little bit of a stage accent, but it's okay. In addition, what impresses me most is the plot of this film. What is the reason for the author to write such a drama? This is what I want to explore the most, and I hope that some students who know it will give some advice.
I used to think that many people and many things were very simple, but as I got older, I felt that I didn’t understand more and more, and what many people did was completely beyond my comprehension. The understanding that I once thought was powerful completely collapsed. . If it is said that human affection is an essay, I will fail. So Brenda couldn't understand her brother-in-law Stanley, and Stanley couldn't understand Brenda. It's like some people don't understand why I have a dog at home, and I'm afraid to see a big ferocious dog. That's because my puppies are cowardly, so I only know cowardly dogs, those that kill people in one bite. It is difficult for me to understand, maybe they have been abused by humans; as for the dogs that killed other puppies, it is even more difficult for me to understand, maybe it is the same as the mentality of murderers, for various reasons such as hatred and jealousy? There are too many things to understand. My brain capacity is obviously not enough. This is a bit like Brenda. When you were young and beautiful, many people would forgive your faults. not enough? ——There are many ways to die, trusting strangers is the stupidest one.

    When I read "Death of a Salesman", I paid attention to this film. Since Eugene O'Neal, Tennessee Williams has taken the route of Strindberg, or the mental state of analysis. Different with Arthur Miller and Edward Albee.

    Before Marlon Brando came on stage, there was a lot of interesting information and details to capture on the screen: shot scheduling, editing, scene art, and more. But when he appeared, I basically had nothing else to see, my eyes would always linger on his face, every subtle expression change, every gesture was a play, telling, shaping and expressing. This great genius actor, complex paradox, has too many sides

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?
