June 26, 2009I really didn't like the film as a whole but I really enjoyed the acting and I thought the Lighting of the film was terrific especially being black and white.

January 2, 2009What's the deal with this Vivien Leigh? She plays Blanche Dubois, this dramatic, anxious, mentally unstable woman. And she is either a very good actress or a very bad one, I couldn't decide. I just couldn't help but wanting to slap her in the face! Somehow her dramatic style of a...( read more)

August 5, 2008A Streetcar Named Desire is a dramatic, fascinating and truly memorable cinematic experience. I could not take my eyes off the screen through out, I was completely engrossed by the sharp and edgy atmosphere and tense confrontations between the characters.

August 3, 2008Much praised film indeed, which is why I approached it with usual skepticism. It, of course, did not disappoint. With such a fine source material as is Tennessee Williams, whose plays I always enjoy reading, and with Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, it was difficult to fail.

November 20, 2009A perfectly acted adaption of Tennessee William's play. Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh gave incredible performances that embodied their characters in the fullest extent. The visual scope of the film is a tad unoriginal, but has very little effect on the film's message.

October 7, 2009The line that separates the logic from the paranoia is very thin...

Hello, my sweeter sexy friend,
today I am already in the mood of my weekend, for I have today no delegations and no serious translation in the office. I have therefore the possibility to look at pictures and commentaries of my friends and to enjoy it :-)))! I became already a little warm. My narrow adjoining jeans, that I have on, a correct lecherous bump has and is to be burst hardly... : -)! My colleague views occasionally on my emerged bump and smiles friendlily. It enjoys also pictures of its friends on the Internet.
I wish you a beautiful Friday afternoon and an interesting, lecherous evening and adventurous and sexy weekend!
Kiss you warmly, my sexy friend!!!

May 6, 2008the movie that modern actors stand on...in this corner: brando puts his foot dead into "established acting traditions'" arse and wiggles his toes. and in the opposing corner, "established acting traditions'" lone hero, a very frightened vivien leigh, who puts up a very good fight but futile...futile (and the fight only might've cost her her sanity, no less!). brando is vesuvius in this, and practically every actor since looks as if they are only copying this ugly mug, who made ugly beautiful. w/o this performance, there is no pacino, no deniro, no walken, or half a hundred or so actors, or even the latest contender christian bale (omigod! isn't he english?!? yep, and a shakespearian-trained creation, go figure, but everybody recognises plutonium once they see it)

January 2, 2008I love this movie! This was the movie that was a landmark in Marlon Brando's career. It led him to be the legend that he is today.
