Despair

I have always been infatuated with Vivien Leigh, so I am a little afraid of her final work.

Even thinking about her mental state and her lost face at that time is cruel, not to mention seeing her like this in the film with her own eyes.

I can only say that Vivien Leigh's acting skills have reached the point where she is not an actor, and her interpretation basically makes it impossible to tell whether it is the character or herself. Whether it's Gone with the Wind or Desire, in front of the camera, she has probably completely integrated herself with the character.

It's heartbreaking to watch the milf Blanche coquettishly coquettish in front of her brother-in-law and Mickey. Is this the peerless Scarlett of the year? . . . Although it is still a perfect jaw, an elegant smile, and a look of hope and brilliance, the wrinkles on the forehead and the vicissitudes of the fish tail remind us that the beauty is old. . .

The three scenes are the most memorable:

First, she, who had just quarreled with her brother-in-law and ended the showdown, walked outside the door with her sister, and she suddenly raised her head to see the stars in the sky, her eyes were full of brilliance, sincere and simple. Express admiration: The starry sky here is really brilliant.

Second, Mickey turned on the light and forced her to stand under the strong light to see her old face, her eyes of shame and despair.

Third, Mickey said, "You are not clean enough, I can't marry you, and I can't take you to see my mother." She began to collapse. After driving Mickey away, she screamed in despair outside the door. Then he ran home, closed all the windows, turned off all the lights, and shivered behind the curtains. . .

The combination of Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando is historic and cannot be replicated. If it wasn't for him, how could the desire be so overwhelming; if it wasn't for her, how could the despair be so shocking.

    Paranoid guilty VS pretending stallion, desire and desire, hurt both sides. The husband who will be a mother can not do without domestic violence, the middle-aged man can not do without the care of his mother, the beast who consciously stands on the commanding heights is not as good as the beast who consciously is the literary feminist eagerly looking forward to the compliments of all men, life itself is a car In the street car named Desire, everyone is firmly tied to their seats. The film is very particular, the method is a big victory, the soundtrack is enough to drink a pot

    I can't stand the stage-style performance...

A Streetcar Named Desire quotes

  • Blanche: Oh, Stanley! What sign were you born under?

    Stanley: What sign?

    Blanche: Astrological sign. I'll bet you were born under Aries. Aries people are forceful, dynamic, they dote on noise. They love to bang things around.

    Stella: Stanley was born just five minutes after Christmas.

    Blanche: Capricorn - the goat!

    [long silence follows as Stanley stares at Blanche]

  • Stella: He smashed all the lightbulbs with the heel of my slipper.

    Blanche: And you let him? Didn't run, didn't scream?

    Stella: Actually, I was sorta thrilled by it.
