Review of A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) by Tim S — 03 Feb 2009
A masterpiece of over the top Southern drama. The thing that's great in this movie is that all the drama and whole brilliance of the movie lies in the screenplay (and the play itself) and how the actors play each moment to full tilt makes it a classic.
This is another example of why Brando is the standard to what modern actors aspire to. It's everything that is great about acting which is the actual being of the character. The other performance that I really enjoyed was Karl Malden who was great.
I tell everyone that not a lot of people get the New Orleans accent and this is one of the few movies that does in just about every small talk and character that they have in the movie. I credit that to Elia Kazan who is a master.
Can't say enough about how much I enjoyed this movie.
