😶😶😶
I don't even know how to react to this movie. I imagined a completely different plot. I didn't expect to see what I saw. This movie is creepy. And no, it doesn't show monsters, ghosts, or zombies. The fear here is that all this is quite real. Feelings, emotions, psyche. It's all so shaky and vulnerable. The plus to the horror was the real, very sad story of the actress herself…
Having starred in this film, Vivien Leigh, who had previously suffered from a serious mental illness called "bipolar disorder," began to poorly distinguish reality from the life of her heroine.
About Marlon Brando… His character is so disgusting that even the actor himself hated him. But despite this, he played this role perfectly. I think everyone hated this character along with him.👏🏻
There are some things that confused me...🤔
The first is when Mitch turns on the light bulb to examine Blanche's face, as they have never seen each other in daylight. And he says:
What do you mean??? Did you see her face at the first meeting? You didn't meet in a dark cellar, damn it. Even if they only saw each other in the evenings, I could still see her face. Lanterns, chandeliers, light bulbs... artificial light has not been canceled. You're not cavemen (even though they had fire). And if he wasn't chicken blind, then he should have realized that she wasn't a young girl.…
And the second thing that confused me was Stella's pregnancy. After Stanley took her to the hospital, Blanche asked him how her sister was. Stanley replied that the baby would not arrive until tomorrow morning. But how? Stella had no stomach at all. It was as if she had a very early term. Therefore, what kind of child can be born there...?
But still, I have to say that it's a really good job. There are so many complicated emotions that you really get lost in this story.
