in the dust

To be honest, when I watched the movie, I didn't really know what the movie was about. The main reason is that the heroine's past experience is vague and unresolved. From the beginning to the end, it is the acting of Vivien Leigh and Brando! ! The film is really born out of drama. The entire 2-hour movie is 95% in two scenes: the room interior and the doorway outside the stairs. Vivien Leigh has a lot of close-ups of her facial expressions, especially her half-insanity look. After I came back and checked some information, I found that the highlight of this film is the acting skills of the two protagonists, and the plot is really not important. In modern terms, it shows those girls whose hearts are higher than the sky and their lives are thinner than paper. They live in the dust, but they fantasize about an elegant and leisurely life; they earn a lunch box for themselves, but their minds are full of poetry, cruise vacations, dramas and concerts. Before there was no Internet, all this was interpreted as a very literary phenomenon: human desires, broken dreams, rough reality, and so on. Now with the Internet people are sharper and meaner than before, and this phenomenon can be summed up in one word: Mary Sue fantasy. If you have the life of the princess, you can do whatever you want with your dreams, such as Paris and Victoria; but if you don't have the life of the princess, you don't have to get the disease of the princess. An ordinary person lives every day. If you think that you should be a princess, then go for it yourself. Princess Kate is a typical example. Without the princess's life, she still sighs all day long, lamenting that the people around her are so rude and vulgar, and their living conditions are poor, so that's it. . . . . . . . . . Brando is so evil in this movie. Especially when the facial expressions are photographed in close-up, the undercurrent of indifference, rough simplicity and ferocity. But, however, the last thing I want to say is: Vivien Leigh is so beautiful! ! Every time she pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed, my whole soul flew out~~~~~~

    How does society force people who are sensitive but don’t want to follow the rules to destruction

    Blanche has "the limitations of the age and class" in all senses. She must always maintain her youth and beauty, and then practice the lady's virtues of reserved and balanced sentiment, so as to capture the respect and love of men, and it will be complete... …Otherwise she would have nothing. This attitude towards life has been the machine for female tragedies in ancient and modern times, and at home and abroad, the younger sister lived to understand that her appearance and family background would change.

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.
