Document Summary
Lecture 13 a streetcar named desire discussion 2. Starring: marlon brando as stanley, vivien leigh as blanche, kim hunter as stella, karl malden as mitch. Auditory perspectives in room are similar to those in a streetcar named desire. We are shown that ja(cid:272)k is the narrator through sounds(cid:272)apes that refle(cid:272)t ja(cid:272)k"s age. We are shown the evolution of blan(cid:272)he"s downward spiral: the start of was the echoing of voice, then the church bells that she recognizes at the end scene; where tella doesn"t re(cid:272)ognize. Homosexuality: of blan(cid:272)he"s hus(cid:271)and is (cid:272)ut out, not mentioned. Rape: the rape is being implied and not shown; the cut to blanche being knocked out in the broken mirror, to the spraying hose of the streetcleaner. The time era that the movie was made in had many rules and regulations as to what can be shown on film: today, there are little to rules, but there are moral decisions.
