A Streetcar Named Desire

This film which was produced on 1951 is one of the films that I like and enjoy watching it because its setting shows the real kind of lower class place and their living style with featured multicultural people. The black and white film reveals the low economic class and how is it opposed with the people from higher economic status which is presented in Blanche, the newcomer in Elysian Fields (the setting) to meet her sister, Stella. She seeks a place to live after has been through a hard life and lose her husband and also Belle Reve which is the place she and Stella should inherit. In her search for shelter, she finds that her sister lives (approvingly) with drunkenness, violence, lust, and ignorance. This classic film was adapted from Tennessee Williams’ play, A Streetcar Named Desire with the same title. I feel so lucky because from watching this film, it helps me to understand the play better which our class has been assigned to study it.
