Desire…that of a Streetcar origin!

STELLLLLAAAAA!  STELLLLLAAAAA!  I thought this play was a fabulous read!
It really has me motivated to watch the movie.  Sometimes when you see what you have read put into a movie, you alter your opinions a little of the characters.  I suppose it is a result of the actor/actress impressing their personal trademark into their character which may alter how the character is now perceived.  Each one of these characters has some type of glitch in them, a flaw of some sort.  It makes them seem real, as we all have flaws ourselves.  It is an intricate web of complex themes and conflicted characters.  Now that I have had time to reflect on it, I think the sexual tension/desire that was going on and their ultimate coming together in this way was more a function of power relations than that of sexual attraction.  And poor Blanche,  she was so hung up on her looks and trying to maintain her youth!
