Explaining 'A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE' from a Black perspective!
A Streetcar Named Desire is a 1951 film by director Elia Kazan that he co wrote with Oscar Saul and Tennessee Williams based on Williams’ 1947 Pulitzer Prize winning play. The film is about 2 sisters and their fall from a wealthy Mississippi plantation to the 1st floor of a sweaty, dilapidated apartment building in New Orleans called Elysian Fields. Stella marries Stanley Kowalski, a primitive who lives on blind instinct. Blanche DuBois, Stella’s older sister, is a fading belle with a checkered past she is trying to escape, a past that includes a seedy hotel called The Flamingo, a 17 year old boy, and memories of a lost love. As long as she has her Stanley, Stella is fine with Elysian. But not Blanche; she knows that the only way to change her life and escape her past is to leave Elysian. Only 2 things stand in her way--Stanley Kowalski and desire! A Streetcar Named Desire stars Karl Malden, Kim Hunter, Vivien Leigh, and Marlon Brando who earned the 1st of his 4 Best Actor nominations for his role as Stanley Kowalski. The film was nominated for 12 Oscars, winning in 4 categories for Best Actress (Vivien Leigh), Best Supporting Actress (Kim Hunter), Best Supporting Actor (Karl Malden), and Best Art Direction (Richard Day, George James Hopkins).
