REFLECTION ON THE MOVIE A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE BY TENNESSEE WILLIAMS.
First of all, I like to watch this movie, A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams even the movie has no color since it is an old movie. Usually, this kind of movie will make me bored but this time it is like a miracle because I never feel bored during watching the movie. On the other hand, I am very excited to watch that movie besides curious to know what is the ending of the movie. This is because I am much sympathized with one of the character in this movie, named Blanche, who I consider her as a tragic hero in the movie. As I know, Blanche’s husband was dead when his secret for being homosexual is been revealed. As a result, her young husband has committed suicide by shooting in his own mouth. Then, Blanche has lost all her properties including the plantation house in Belle Reve. This situation leads her to be a prostitute in the Flamingo Hotel in Laurel. Since the owner of the hotel cannot bear with her attitude, Blanche is been kicked out from the hotel. Consequently, she decides to come and stay with her younger sister, Stella as the last resolve. In addition, she does not have any money and does not know where to go, as she has no friend at all. However, when she goes to her sister’s house, which is beyond of her expectation, Stanley, her sister’s husband does not really like her. Furthermore, at the end of the story, Stanley has called a doctor to bring Blanche to a mental institution. Besides that, it is very irony when Blanche, who cannot stand with a direct light but then when she comes to her sister’s house, it is as she brings danger to herself since Stanley is been symbolized as a heat. Therefore, I think Blanche is a tragic hero in this movie due to she is been bombarded with many unfortunate incidents in her life. In contrast, I hate Stanley in this movie because he acts violently towards people surrounding him especially Stella, his wife. When I watch this movie, I really cannot stand with Stanley’s bad attitudes, which are violent and rough besides hot-tempered. Due to him, the secret about Blanche’s past life is been revealed and cause Mitch to hate and leave Blanche. As a result, Blanche turns into crazy when Mitch hates her very much due to her past and they are no longer a companion even though they have many similarities. Finally, a doctor and a nurse have taken Blanche into mental institution. Although, at first Blanche refuses to be taken into the institution but when the doctor is very polite by taking his hat and then offering his hand gently to Blanche, lastly Blanche is agree to go to the mental institution. This is because Blanche has thought that the doctor is very polite and friendly. These kinds of attitudes bring a comfort to her and therefore she will not be lonely anymore as the doctor is her new companion in this world. Overall, this movie is great to watch since it teaches us to be honest and moderate in our lives. Moreover, we have to appreciate with what we have now as life is like a cycle. Nothing gold can stay. As a conclusion briefly, this movie is among the best movie that I have watched in my life.

I have to agree on what Linda said regarding that this movie has taught us to be honest and be moderate in our lives. I could't agree more on that we should appreciate the people around us and do not take things for granted. Life is like karma, what goes around comes around. Although this movie is in black and white, we are eager and curious to watch this movie until the end because we want to know what happens to Blanche in the end. After all, she is the tragic hero in this movie.
