  I had forgotten how complex this film was. I saw it some 30 years ago and did not remember much from it. When watching it now I felt like I was left with more questions than answers.

  What I did get from the film is that it is about (among many things) the crashes of desires. Stella wants to please her husband and sister. Stanley wants to have respect and enjoy his life with his wife. Blanche wants to live in her fantasy world, free from her past and under the protection of her sister. These desires crash with such furiosity that no one is going to get unharmed from it. Such is life. We may believe we have full…

  It is criminal  how I find more praises (and simping 😡) for Marlon Brando than Vivien Leigh in this film, especially when you consider her virtuoso portrayal of Blanche DuBois and the fact that he turned out to be a rapist (in real life.)
      I find that there is nothing much to say (I’m too angry at life and Marlon Brando right now) except that A Streetcar Named Desire is absolutely heartbreaking and whisks you away into a compelling story right from the start. There is genius (morbid but genius) in the final scenes of Blanche preparing to leave where the tension is so thick you could cut it with a knife, which credits Elia Kazan’s amazing direction.

  A Streetcar Named Desire, The Construction of Character:

  Four aspects of "character" include 1) the mimetic aspect, which concentrates on the character’s resemblance to the sort of individual that the actor is attempting to portray, 2) the synthetic aspect, which focuses less on the disposition of the character and more on their specific function within the story, 3) the thematic aspect, which concentrates on the way in which the character effectively (or ineffectively) communicates the narrative themes, and 4) the enacted aspect, which focuses on the manner in which the character’s “physical appearance, personality, and interpretation of the role” influence the way that the audience reads said character.

  The mimetic aspect of Blanche, the main…

  Some movies must exist for magic, and nothing more. 

  “A Streetcar Named Desire” is one of those films. 

  Caught in a moment of peak artistic realization for its cast and director, it is a flash of flame - purple hot - before the lives of its creators self-incinerated into a ball of sulphate and smoke. 

  Released one year before Elia Kazan’s career-defining HUAC testimony, “Streetcar” is a work that pulses with the volatility of its talent and material. It has a heart that beats with such puissance, every thump is a reminder that it cannot possibly go on this way forever. 

  “Streetcar’s” journey starts in the tumultuous childhood of its author, Tennessee Williams; often attacked by his alcoholic brute of a…

  Oh to live in a shitty little house with your husband Marlon Brando in a town where it's always summer and his tight white shirt is forever stained with sweat and is clinging to his body so hard that you can almost count every muscle on his chest and arms and the passion between the two of you is so strong that it alternates between literal violence and steamiest love so you get pregnant but you still keep fighting day in and day out but he always comes begging for forgiveness waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs that you descend feeling like a queen of the world and when you get down he picks you up in…
