But that's not my aria of expertise.
he’s just got the whole attempt at the alpha male thing going and i don’t know what elizabeth sees in him outside of this. maybe it’s super hot for her or something i’m really not sure
andrei even has the whole american dream idea that’s in the play which stanley is all about. plus he wants to use/feels entitled to his wife’s family money because of his marriage to her. i don’t know it just seems like there’s a lot of parallels there
it is EXTREMELY possible that i am reading way too much into this and making connection where there isn’t one but if anyone else sees this similarly too please validate me!
I wanted to see this for Brando mainly. I knew the story more or less so I was interested in the actors, aesthetic and the atmosphere more than anything.
Watching Stanley in this movie is like watching a guy from nowadays catapulted 70 years ago. The hairstyle, the fashion (bomber jacket, white tshirt, tank top), the physique - everything about him looks like he's from our times. Meanwhile everything about the ladies fashion, Blanche especially of course, throws back to much older times. This contrast kept surprising me throughout the movie.
Vivien Leigh gives an absolutely stunning performance. She is mesmerizing to the point where as a viewer you're also trying to figure her out. Her mental state, her motives, is she all there or not. I kind of expected her to fell dated and over the top dramatic but she is genuinely disturbing, heartbreaking and intriguing. I watched for Brando but was left with Leigh on my mind.
Brando and Leigh were picked by Tennessee Williams himself for the stage productions and had played their characters on Broadway and West End stages respectively hundreds of times so their understanding of the character was surely deep and well studied in every detail.
While I did know the story, I sort of didn't expect how dark and warped everything was going to be in the sense that there is no straightforward story for any of the three main characters.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've just come to the realisation of this.
It may not be what the director/script writer (terms are not my forte) intended, but to me there seems to be a direct link from the character Georgia (in the Netflix show, 'Ginny and Georgia') to Blanche DuBois in 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
I don't want to spoil anything about the show or the play, so I will leave it like this. Please comment if you see where I'm coming from - although I may be grasping at very loose straws at the moment!
Trying to find out what watch Brando wore in Streetcar. Some have suggested it's a Prince. Pretty hard to see from the pictures.

I have an essay due 4/22 @ 430pm eastern time. I have a lot going on and havent been able to sit down and write it. Details as follows:
Choose a character from A streetcar named Desire and establish how that character has traits that affect the outcome, meaning and design of the work as a whole. Consider the characters appearance, behavior, words, interactions with others, and other elements that contribute to the development of the character. Your papsr cannot be a general description of the character, but a focused analysis that presents a clear perspective about the character and their significance in the story. You might focus on one aspect of the character or a particilar moment in the play. Use examples , and quotes for support. 3 to 4 double spaced pages, 12 point font.
I have already spoken to my professor and stated i will be using stanley Kowalski.
I understand this is short notice, and will pay accordingly. Please message if interested!

This is practically all I remember about the book. I'm fairly certain it was the character's mother instead of someone of any other relation to him. I am also pretty sure the character was around teen-aged. Other than this I have no clue what other details of the story there were other than this.
I'm sorry for the lack of details but please ask any questions you might have in case there is something to clarify.
Thanks!
Hi, does any have the recordings for either of these two plays? Both feature Gillian Anderson.
Thanks!
My first post on this reddit I watched this film in cinemas a week ago which was a fantastic experience This is one of Brando’s best films and Vivian Leigh is also fantastic in this The dialogue between Stanley and Blanche is suspenseful and has lots of significance to the plot and the characters themselves This film has aged well in my opinion and has become one of my favourites Do you have any thoughts and recommendations for films similar?
A Streetcar Named Desire was the result of a confluence of great talent. Elia Kazan directed it for Warner Brothers in 1951. The screenplay was written by Tennessee Williams who had also written the original play. The scene, sometimes affectionately referred to as the Napoleonic Code Scene, stared Kim Hunter, and Marlon Brando.
The scene serves partially as an exposition to further familiarize the audience with Blanche and her back story. She is not present, she’s in the tub, but her suitcase is a stand-in for her. It is full of illusory elegance and affectation. Her sister, Stella, defends Blanche’s carefully folded things while the sweaty, brutish Stanley tries to roughly. rifle through them. It creates not only emotional tension but seems to almost foreshadow physical assault
The heart of the scene is a two-minute single shot where the camera keeps a medium distance and only pivots slightly to keep the characters in the frame. The scene, like the entire film, retains some of the qualities of the stage play that was its origin. There is however a very important difference. The acting style has been drastically altered by the addition of microphones. Cinema had not quite caught up to the potential of its own technology and it took actors like Marlon Brando to illustrate how to fully exploit the new medium.
Brando plays half the scene with his mouth full of food. At one point he shoves a whole chicken wing in his mouth. He mispronounces words, he mumbles, he slurs his sentences, none of which would be possible on a stage in a theater. In the film, there is undoubtedly a boom mic hanging over his head, and it can pick up every bit of Brando’s utterances. Every nuance, every snort, every subtle shift of timbre is clearly captured. Brando knows this and he uses it to great advantage. His character, Stanley, comes to life with a force and a presence not seen on screen before.
This new power heightens our sense of social class. Stanley is Polish, an “ethnic,” working-class immigrant. He’s an uncultured, uneducated, bruiser who knows he has caught himself a good thing in Stella. He doesn’t want Blanche, the pretentious interloper, to turn Stella against him.
The beauty of Tennessee Williams’ writing is the profound depth of the characters he creates. These are fully rendered, multidimensional people with complex and conflicting motivations. Stanley thinks he cares about the money Blanche may have squandered and focuses on it. He doesn’t fully recognize his
