Streetcar named Desire
Streetcar
named desire is a written work and it was made into a movie. I personally liked
the movie better because I could visually see what was happening between the
characters. We watched most of the movie in class on Wednesday. I thought that
the characters were mostly the same in the written work and the movie.
Stanley was
still very pushy and arrogant. He always thought he was right and pushed the
women around. The story is mostly about Stanley and Blanche arguing about stuff
that really isn’t that important.
I liked this
movie because, I like the time period it was made in. I thought it looked very
cool and it kept my interest, just because I have never seen any movie like
this. Streetcar named desire is about two sisters and a man and Blanche comes
to visit Stella and Stanley and it appears that right away Stanley and Blanche don’t
get along. Over all I thought the movie was very interesting.
I thought the same thing! I think the characters were mostly the same in the movie as they were in the play. But like we discussed in class I think Stanley's character was hollywoodized and made his character appear better. I think both Blanche and Stanley have their downfalls as characters and stella is caught in a crossfire between them, ultimately choosing to make the choice to choose one or the other. We see in the end she decides to stick by Stanleys side.
