Answer: "Desire StreetCar".
The Simpsons tribute to the original movie footage
On September 18, 1951, the movie "Desire StreetCar" starring Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando was released, and it has been 70 years since then. Adapted from the play of the same name by the famous playwright Tennessee Williams, the film tells the story of the heroine Brandie played by Vivien Leigh, who is dismissed from her job as a governess for "inappropriate" behavior, and comes to New Orleans to join her sister after the bankruptcy of the family and the death of a loved one. My sister's family lived in a dirty apartment in a poor environment. Her husband, Stanley (Marlon Brando), is reckless and a gambler. The educated and somewhat neurotic Brandy blames Stanley for not being able to stand his actions, and Stanley thinks she will bring a bad wife. Because of the loss of youth and the fact that she faces so many hardships, Brandt has always hoped to find a man to help her get rid of the sea of suffering, but her personality is difficult to survive in such an environment. After being raped by Stanley, the heroine eventually goes mad.
Compared with many reunion love stories of the same era, "Desire StreetCar" tells a tragic story, and the setting of the heroine is not so cute. If it weren't for Vivien Leigh's excellent performance, probably more audiences would have hated the role. Unable to control her own destiny, she is sensitive and fragile, and she has a high self-esteem and loves vanity. Without Marlon Brando's excellent performance, the audience would also simply hate the violent and rude Stanley. This work allows us to see from the heroine that the development of industrialization has led to the decline of southern cities, and also allows us to see the bottom situation of Polish immigrants like Stanley. A person's development is related to his environment and education, and this may be the deeper meaning that Desire Streetcar wants to tell the audience.
The film gave Vivien Leigh a second Academy Award for Best Actress after Gone with the Wind, and also earned oscars for supporting actors and supporting actresses, Marlon Brando for best actor, and the film and director. It is regarded as a film history classic, and even "The Simpsons" is an animated spoof (tribute).
