A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)


Cast : Vivian Leigh, Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Kim Hunter
Director
: Elia Kazan

Ah, now i know where Nicole Kidman got that over-dramatic and exaggerate expression. It's from Blanche Dubois. Very classic kinda act. And Vivian Leigh was nailed the characters as a lonely-empty-neurotic woman who lives in a romantic fantasy world. Very disturbing, and over the top. But yet, for me her exaggerate act was done intentionally due to its character. At least, i agree with Oscar for rewarding her Best Actress at that time.

As for the picture itself belongs to drama with full of intensity, monologues and irrational numbers. We shall conclude what had happened between characters. Understood it was base on a play which i believe it will told the details regarding other things that haven't revealed thru the movie. Like, what is truly happen in Auriol? And also in Belle-Reve?

Having said that, i was delighted to see this movie. An open ending (which I always love) also let us free to conclude what will happen next.
