A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (1951)
**** out of ****
Marlon Brando, one of the best movie and theater actors of the 20th century, has died on Thursday, July 1st 2004. With the nickname of Stanley Kowalski, I couldn't let to pay my homage and post my comment on this wonderful film, where he plays Kowalski.
It's not only Brando who shines here- A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE has to be one of the best-acted films I've ever seen. Vivien Leigh is indescribable as the doomed Blanche Dubois, while the late Kim Hunter and the great Karl Malden couldn't be any better. But it's Brando whom we most remember when we talk about STREETCAR, the best movie adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play. Kowalski, with his ripped shirt, screaming for Stella, is one of the greatest moments of the 20th century. And it tells us a lot about Brando himself and his method of acting. May he rest in peace!
