By Hollywood standards, Tennessee Williams' plays may not really be suitable for adaptation into movies, but in the end, almost all of these adaptations have become classics, which is really a miracle. With the abdication of patriarchal power as the background, the subject is the confrontation between two couples, and finally everything reverts to harmony. The obscure account of Paul Newman's sexuality was in line with the background of the times, but the other male protagonist did not appear...

Husband and wife, father, son, brother, aunt and sister-in-law have accumulated heart problems for many years, and family problems are heavy, and the truth cannot be solved in a few words. Are all the women of that era like Maggie? Being misunderstood and neglected by her husband, ridiculed by her husband's family, and living on a tin roof for a long time, she should have been burnt and traumatized. It's...

Homosexuality ignores his wife after cheating on marriage, his father looks down on his mother, and says his brother and sister-in-law are greedy. He doesn't think that if his younger brother keeps doing nothing, he will still be gay, but he always listens to his father's words, but he can't get him love, even don't recognize yourself! Want to get what you deserve! What's wrong? What a strange movie! I would be asleep without Elizabeth...

All I can say is that in two of Tennessee Williams' most famous plays, the gay factor is crucial. You swap this out and only get a failing...

A good film that can be added to the collection of life. Then the story of Citizen Kane goes down to how important love is. It can be destroyed in an instant, or it can be rebuilt in an instant. The love that gives completely will not necessarily be understood, and the love that keeps on taking may not necessarily be rejected. But in order to grow, one must take responsibility. The responsibility is to accept the love of others and make them feel loved as well. Some of the lines are too...

Barely two points. An ancient homosexual theme, but also a bloody drama of wealthy inheritance competition made up for the common people. The story is basically limited to one day, with a strong sense of stage drama. The movie is meant to speak for homosexuality. Newman has no interest in inheriting the inheritance because he has no descendants, and his sister-in-law, who has given birth to a bunch of deformed cubs, is naked in front of her father-in-law. To put the audience in Newman's shoes....

Commemorating Yugu Taylor
The day after Elizabeth Taylor passed away, I suddenly wanted to relive her movies. The first thing I think of is the 12-year-old innocent girl in "Jane Eyre"; then the classic "Cat on the Tin Roof". I don’t even remember how old I was to watch this movie, or it was dubbed in Chinese. I had a...

"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof": A stage play to maintain traditional family relationships
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" was adapted into a movie of the same name in 1958, and was nominated for 6 Oscars. Contrary to the attitude towards the movie version of "A Streetcar Named Desire", Tennessee Williams himself hated the movie "The Cat on the Hot Tin Roof". At that time, Elvis Presley, whom...

Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: I'm talking in Big Daddy's languge now. I'm his wife, not his widow. I'm still his wif!
Gooper Pollitt: What we've got here...
Mae Pollitt: What Gooper's saying is just a plan, a basis.
Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: I'll tell you what your plan is. Margaret, what is it Big Daddy always says when he's disgusted?
Margaret "Maggie" Pollitt: He says bull when he's disgusted.
Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: Yes, that's right. I say bull too, like Big Daddy.
Mae Pollitt: Well, coarse language don't seem called for to me.
Ida 'Big Momma' Pollitt: Bull!

Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: This was what my father left me, this lousy old suitcase! And on the inside was nothing, nothing but his uniform from the Spanish-American war. That was his legacy to me! Nothing at all! And I built this place from nothing.
Brick Pollitt: That was all he left you?
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: He was a hobo, the best-known tramp on the boxcar circuit. He'd worked once in awhile as a field hand, and I'd tag along. Sat on my bare bottom in the dirt, waiting for him. Outside of hunger, the first thing I remember is shame. I was ashamed of that miserable old tramp. I was riding boxcars with him when I was nine, something you never had to do. You'll never have to bury me the way I buried him. I buried him in a meadow alongside a railroad track. He was running to catch a freight and his heart give out. You know something? That old tramp died laughing.
Brick Pollitt: Laughing at what?
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: Himself, I guess. Old hobo tramp, not a nickel to his name, no future, no past.
Brick Pollitt: Maybe he was laughing because he was happy. Happy at having you with him. He took you everywhere. He kept you with him.
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: I don't want to talk about that.
[pause]
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: Yeah, I loved him. I reckon I never loved anything as much as that lousy old tramp.
Brick Pollitt: And you say he left you nothing but a suitcase with a uniform in it?
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: And some memories.
Brick Pollitt: And love.
