Yesterday I went to the library to enjoy the movie A Streetcar Named Desire. Blandaro was so young at that time!( first impression) NOw he is dead... I dont like the play writer or the director ( I am not sure who is more responsible for it) for the most important part was cut. It's the rape on Blanche. Without this part, the story becomes unclear and kind of ridiculous( we cannot get a clear idea about why Blanche gets crazy). It also changes the original character. It's not so ironic as it is with that part. I found a lot of implications from the words. However I am not good enough to get all of them.
About the man who declaims he needs Blanche at first, he is the least lovable charcater in this movie to me. I hate this kind of man who cannot survive without his mother! He needs sb. it could be right, but anyone. He is more like a Lair than Blanche.
Stanley is worse if that part is not cut. He is honest maybe in some respect. However the way he treats his sister in law shows that he is numb and with no sympathy. I dont like that cold heart.
Stella should be a lovely woman in my mind. But it turns out that she has a strong mind! Perhaps I am affected by her appearance. I may like the ending of her saying" this I will not return" however it is not convincing enough!!
Overall it's still a very good movie though I found a lot of unsatisfatory. Put the technical limit into consideration, we cannot ask too much. ( If u like Vivien very much, dont watch it, she is old in this movie. If u r a big frined of Blandaro, dont watch this movie, he was handsome at that time, but with an not very mature performance. Well that's my own opinion. Haha!
(I watched the opera also in the library.)
