1947 65438+On February 3rd, the young Marlon Brando gave the first cry of "Stella" in the premiere of Tennessee Williams' drama A Streetcar Named Desire.
This play explores the tension between working-class Stanley kowalski (played by Marlon Brando) and Blanche du bois (played by Jessica Tandy). Blanche du bois is an elegant southern beauty, but she is trapped in a poor middle age. Blanche comes to her simple home in the French quarter of New Orleans and lives with her sister Stella and Stanley's wife (played by kim hunter). Stella has begun to deal with her low living standard and tried her best to comfort her sister, who is denying her. Blanche tried to adapt to the environment and shed her beauty as gracefully as possible, because she tried to hide her age and excessive sexuality from those who might judge her severely. Stanley systematically destroyed Blanche and tore open her defense mechanism until she could hardly catch a thread. In terms of climate, Stanley met Blanche, and her fragile control of reason was broken. At the end of the play, she wore a straight jacket.
