The whole film is full of collisions and retains a strong stage play flavor: the strong opposition between the vulgar and the elegant, the brutal truth and the delicate pretentiousness, the brutal cruelty of the reality and the fragile and poignant beauty of the fantasy, this opposition is complete and distinct. Perfectly performed by Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando. Director Elijah Kazan is deeply influenced by the British academic film art. He tends to be three-dimensional in terms of movement and rhythm, and is obsessed with the image expression of close-up switching. This style allows the actors to have enough space to give full play to their talents. Divided with personality, and created a beautiful balance that conveys the impact of the story. The film goes against the old-fashioned Hollywood "big reunion" and arranges a tragic ending. Its content is strongly allegorical. It is the first time to come into contact with the issue of the impact of sex on people's physiology and psychology; people interact with each other because of "desire". Devouring, forming a world of the law of the jungle, and revealing the result of the collision of women's stubborn desires and men's stubborn desires: eventually leading to the heroine's madness.
