Looking for a benchmark in movie acting? Breakthrough performances don't come much more electrifying than Marlon Brando's animalistic turn as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire. Sweat...( read more

MCT:July 5, 2008this movie made a great impact on my mind confusing me about all the differences between reality and the world we see,between people and about the life itself. one can never symphatise with reality or realistic people once they see the movie or read the novel.dark past can be seen more beareble to blanche when she break her links to reality but the actual facts could still bother her through kowalsky i guess. i cant help hating kowalsky for being this much cruel but i can see the fact that he is a simple man and he has everysense to survive and these make him this much inhuman.again it is a masterpiece both novel and the movie .

MCT:July 2, 2008This is a great movie! How did Brando not win that Oscar? Him and Leigh are brilliant. Great screenplay and direction, and the acting all around is great. They don't make movies like this anymore.

Marlon Brando just shattered every notion of conventional acting with this performance. It's ironic that of the FOUR main characters, his (the most influential acting performance of all time) was the only NOT to win an Oscar. Anyway, the movie is highly effective & quite dark. Never loses interest. Kudos to Vivien Leigh for the best performance of her career (along with Scarlett O'Hara). She played that 'middle-aged woman trying to recapture the flower of her youth while falling into insanity' character to a T. And Brando is just raw in his raging machoism as he reacts to her fantasy world. Yet despite his deplorable intolerance, EVERY girl wanted him & every guy wante dto be him.

Despite it's stagey feel - it was after all based on a play - this is one of the definitive motion pictures. Marlon Brandon - in his best role - plays the archetypal thuggish Stanley Kowalski, and Vivien Leigh, plays Blanche DuBois, his wife's sister, a pompous faded Southern belle who has fallen on hard times. The plot revolves around the fireworks created by the clashes between the two, and is quite simply breathtaking...
One of the curious things about Brando's character is how differently people perceive him - while I find him a fascinating character, I see him as a nasty thug with no redeeming features, yet I've come across some (all female, strangely enough) who see him as a no-nonsense hard working "real" man trying to save his marriage (I've even come across one girl who thought his rape of Blanche was justifiable in the circumstances! A baffling and abhorrent viewpoint.) -
MCT:June 30, 2008Marlon Brando's acting was terrific. One of the best performances I have ever seen. I just wish this was a good movie. His acting was pretty much the only thing keeping the movie alive. I couldn't stand Vivien Leigh's character or I guess any of the others as well.

I 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.
