The life of ordinary people is not divided into good and evil

This movie makes me really don't want to blink, the scene is extremely single, almost all the scenes are completed in such a small space as my sister's house, I can detect the clues and emotions of Blanche's collapse a little bit, the acting skills of Vivien Leigh and Brando Exploding, Stanley seems to be able to smell sweat and hormones when he walks in front of the camera and looks at his back. Vivien Leigh raises her head and her eyes are full of love. At first, I thought they would have an ambiguous story. After Stanley's questioning and several conflicts, he realized that Blanche's passion had hit Stanley's powder keg.

This is a movie with a particularly strong dramatic conflict. In many conflict scenes, the performance of the characters is quite large, and the mood swings are quite violent. Even in order to reflect the tone of the scene, the light and dark adjustment of the scenery is too clear, and there are some exaggerated elements of drama. , and the actor's acting skills amplify the character and emotions to be consistent with the exaggerated scene settings, so they don't feel that there is any inconsistency in the scene, making rough things look rougher, and fragile things look more fragile.

Brando played Stanley's mania so well that whenever Blanche and Stanley were in the same space, he couldn't help but hold his breath. The urgency of suddenly flipping the table makes one's nerves tense.

To be able to do this, I think both the director and the actor are already very good, because it is really difficult to have a movie scene so thoroughly that people can't grasp the development of the situation and the incomprehensible inner emotions of the characters, more It is the "however I have seen through all this" routine.

So the biggest attraction of this movie to me is that there are no routines! Although the foreshadowing of the tragic main line has been laid long ago, you can't judge what story will come next, and you can't arbitrarily judge anyone's good or bad, whether Stanley or Blanche, they have their own personalities and The growth environment is two completely different people, both of which happen to have extremes of a certain personality.

Stanley is rude and easy to hurt, but he represents honesty and reality, and the ordinary us who can't stand the pretentious and arrogant "green tea bitch" in life and are eager to reveal the truth;

Blanche is fragile and vain, she represents ideals and The opposition of reality represents all the ordinary us who have beautiful dreams but still want to crawl in the turbid reality;

Stella is tolerant and forbearing, she represents the ordinary us who are inseparable from the world, desire and love and willing to give love;

Michelle is kind and honest, he represents the ordinary us who value family love and easily move our hearts but have a psychological bottom line.

This is the story of an ordinary person. The peculiarity of the movie is that, under the night of thousands of lights, the window of a family is opened, and you can see the story of an ordinary family. The story is inconclusive, and it does not discuss good and evil. .

The loneliest people are those who cannot tolerate loneliness. Blanche bears the consequences of the decline of her family by herself, but she can't bear the emptiness in her heart. On the one hand, she holds the upper mind, and on the other hand, she cannot resist dependence and desire, and she cannot live spiritually. In reality, the disappearance of her face and her past experiences made her feel the erosion of reality.

Stanley can completely ignore her affairs, but his character is arrogant, upright, sincere, and quite self-interested, allowing him to destroy a lonely woman step by step unconsciously.

When Vivien Leigh shook her head and trembled, I could really see a heart that was on the verge of collapse. She wanted to wander in her own illusion, but God sent her to a sharp sword.

A Streetcar Named Desire quotes

  • Blanche: Marry me, Mitch.

    Mitch: No, I don't think I want to marry you anymore... No, you're not clean enough to bring into the house with my mother.

  • Stanley: How about a few more details on that subject... Let's cop a gander at the bill of sale... What do you mean? She didn't show you no papers, no deed of sale or nothin' like that?... Well then, what was it then? Given away to charity?... Oh I don't care if she hears me. Now let's see the papers... Now listen. Did you ever hear of the Napoleonic code, Stella?... Now just let me enlighten you on a point or two... Now we got here in the state of Louisiana what's known as the Napoleonic code. You see, now according to that, what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband also, and vice versa... It looks to me like you've been swindled baby. And when you get swindled under Napoleonic code, I get swindled too and I don't like to get swindled... Where's the money if the place was sold?
