day 1 of streetcar named desire.

tuesday's post.

well a streetcar named desire.can i just say i love that title?the movie and the text are the exact same,the only difference being that stella comes home to see blanche rather than blanche seeing stella at the bowling alley.

and i feel like blanche's "speech" to her sister about how they lost Belle Reve was way harsher in the actual play as apposed to the movie.maybe it was an actor choice,but i feel like movie blanche laughed off alot of the secret insults she said to her sister.and in the play she just says them without a care for her sister.its really hurtful when you actually read the things she said in front of her sister and how most of them were just sly comments because those often do the most damage on a person,i felt so bad for stella after that.

and i feel like stanley is portayed more as the mean and abusive husband in the play than the movie.when he walked in stella cleaned herself up and said yes stanley.as soon as he got home!it was just a difference i noticed.and the description of stanley is beautiful.its just so strait forward about him.thats a mega props to tennessee williams.i just loved reading it.

i want to know what happened to blanche's husband already!it bothers me so much that she is so tramatized by it,but they haven't said what happened exactly,in the movie or the play.

so that would be the end of scene 1.
