A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE

This is one of my favourite movies. A streetcar named desire is a story full with dramatic and action but still got the right message to the audients. I like the way the director of this movie convey his brilliant idea with all the main character in the story. A Streetcar Named Desired is about Blanche who comes to New Orleans to see her sister Stella and met her husband Stanley Kowalski. As the play progresses, readers get to know more about Blanche and the type of person she is. The thing is, Blanche always dreams of to be someone else, someone who is just not herself. She lives in her own world of imagination. Blanche is the protagonist of the movie but she turned into madness at the end of the movie. She cannot forget her past and accept the present world because she lost the love of her life and she feels that she fails as a woman because her late husband is a bisexual. The present to her is very painful and she prefers to live in her own world of imagination.
