Vivien Leigh and Brando represent two extreme sexual characteristics-I mean, artistic. One is delicate, fragile, vain, elegant, nagging, and hysterical, which are purely feminine traits; the other is vulgar, strong and grumpy, which are purely masculine traits.
I believe that these two roles are very suitable for academics as a textbook for acting courses. It is completely logical for the audience to be moved by these two representative characters. As outstanding performance artists (I think this Chinese name is more in line with their identities than movie superstars), Vivien and Brando have precisely grasped the roles. Occasionally I feel like I am watching a drama, but it is a very good drama. This feeling is not the actor's fault, but the director and screenwriter's extremely accurate reflection of the role setting.
What is commendable is that the tragic atmosphere of the entire movie is not only supported by these two protagonists. The lower class of New Orleans as the background naturally diffuses from the beginning of the movie. Its authenticity is therefore doomed.
When it comes to the tragic nature of the characters, I suddenly think of "Peacock". Perhaps Gu Changwei has watched "A Streetcar Named Desire" several times, and his characters seem to be less out of the ordinary, rather than heartbreaking.
Many people mentioned the famous line at the beginning of the film: Take the Desire, cross the cemetery street, and reach the paradise area-the metaphors in it are almost self-evident, but what impressed me the most was that at the end of the film, the psychiatrist took her Lifting up from the ground, and gentlemanly stretched out her arm to let her hold her, Vivien Leigh said softly: "Even though you are a stranger, I hope you are kinder." Her voice, her face, her eyes , Filled with complete despair, only the old gentleman's arm is the only warmth, the only straw.
This moment is really heartbreaking.
