Taylor is not very suitable for this film

At the beginning of the original book, Margaret was a scolding, but she was not rude, but cute and witty. She thought she was just a lively and witty little woman, but she didn’t expect her to see Brick’s problems in the first place. She said in the first scene. :

"Of course, you always have that kind of drifting temperament, as if you are playing a game that doesn't care about winning or losing. And now you have lost, oh no, you didn’t lose, you just quit, so you have only The rare charm of the elderly and terminally ill patients, the charm of the loser. You look very cold, very cold, and enviable."

But she didn't look down on him. For a woman, this can be magical. Described it, and then she said:

"What a wonderful lover you used to be...what a wonderful thing to have sex with you, I think it's because you really careless about sex, right? You never There is no passion, but naturally, slowly, with absolute self-confidence and calmness, more like opening a door or opening a chair for a lady, without expressing any desire for her. Your indifference makes you in The bed is so wonderful, isn’t it strange? But it’s true. You know, if I’m sure you’ll never have sex with me again, I’ll rush down to the kitchen to find the sharpest and longest knife in me My heart, I swear." It

is impossible for a woman who seeks to rely on her husband to say such words. This is more like a close friend or even a mother. She herself said that she wants to win, but this win probably not only refers to winning the family property, but more to saving her own life, including saving her husband. She has a lot of pity beyond the commonplace, a bit like Margaret Duras' pity for a Chinese lover.

From a male's point of view, this role has a great sense of sexual immorality. It is both a wife, a mother, a friend, and a teacher. It's like Asuka always yells "Idiot Idiot", knows Shinji's cowardly, but still loves.

Elizabeth Taylor does not have that simple, maternal feeling. When she put ice cream on a child’s face in the movie, she had something really terrifying in her eyes, and her face was full of flesh. This woman played Cleopatra. It's quite appropriate. It is a far cry from Fei Wenli in "A Streetcar Named Desire" by Tennessee Williams. Monroe may be able to do the job, and works harder in literature and art.
