Blanche=gay

Now he is actually gay to Blanche, but Williams has an epiphany about writing gay as a female protagonist in order to avoid censorship. Looking at the intimacy between her (him) and his sister for a long time, he (she) said to him. The young cashier kept seducing and kissing, and he (she) told the doctor that he (she) liked the kindness of stranger. Everything is flickering, flickering left and right, and her neurotic performance makes it even more confusing.

I testify that we Aries are not like this!

I can't bear to complain that Marlon Brando is such a jade-faced little boy who wants to play such a rough and violent big man, but he plays it well.

In fact, almost everyone in this play is a bit neurotic (morbid):
Stanley smashes things like crazy when he is drunk, and even beats the woman he loves with all his heart;
Stella follows this beast with all his heart, and she even says that she enjoys it (this kind of violence) abuse);
Eunice upstairs often quarrels with her husband who can’t go home to play cards, but every time he talks harshly, pours water, goes to the bar, he doesn’t call the police or leave him;
Mitch knows that Stanley is malicious towards Blanche, and Stanley also It's not a good thing, he said that it was Stanley who made Blanche like this (qj), and Stanley also deliberately claimed that he had never touched her, Mitch did not call the police, did not dare to stand up to protect the Blanche he liked, and had to cry like a woman;

Ultimately, though, these characters are just the catalyst for Blanche's utter madness, and what really drives her down is the suicide of young gay husband Alan after Blanche reveals his sexuality, and the subsequent series of deaths of his loved ones. The implication behind this is that the brutal public opinion in the society and the "men" (the powerful and the rich) who rely on their own grasp of the mainstream values ​​of the society, according to their own stereotype and the public opinion trend of the people around them, use words without cost, or even purely Vent to suppress and tease gays to satisfy their own interests. In fact, the two are not at odds with each other. This kind of unreasonable phenomenon existed in the United States in the last century, and it still exists in the world today. It is the unreasonable hostility towards others caused by the ups and downs of thinking and the attitude of today's deliberate veto. Thinking about it carefully, Blanche is not harmful to Stanley - he just lost his property somehow, and after he lost his husband, he relied on the young man. The man seeks pleasure and prays that he can atone for his sin by defilement of his virginity - after all, Blanche did not bring any debt or harm to anyone, but it was not enough that Stanley of the symbolic society beat her for no reason, and finally sent her in. Insane asylum. Then everything returned to normal, except that her sister felt guilty. Although she sympathized with her sister, in front of the society represented by Stanley (and Mitch), she could not do anything about what happened to her, so she could only cry with grief. Maybe this guilt will last her life. Apart from this, no one misses Blanche, a lovely, elegant and noble person, just like many gays who are hidden in the crowd, they are ruthlessly thrown into hell by society.

    They told me to take a streetcar named Desire, change to a place called the cemetery, take another 6 blocks, and get off at Paradise. The most unbearable is Vivien Leigh's old face, and the most amazing is Marlon Brando's savage and raw sexiness... I wonder if there is another bad embryo in this world who can be as sexy and aggressive as him.

    We might have another Tennessee Williams to write A Streetcar Named Desire, but no more Vivien Leigh who just happened to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown to play Blanche. This is not something that any playwright or fan can hope for, it belongs to the mystery of literature and art that will never be known. After watching a lot of high-definition cameras and Blu-rays, and looking back at the use of black and white films in the 1950s, I feel that there is an irreplaceable poetic quality in them.
