Dressing up as the opposite gender!

The decision of have someone in the group dress up as a character of the opposite gender was an easy one. I think even before we talked about it, we knew someone had to do it because of the movie we chose. This fact didn’t make me think about gender role in a way different from the one I already had, but make me think about the impact of the movie in that time. What did people think about the end of the movie? Was it possible for them to imagine an end as the one my group imagined?

A streetcar named desire!

I think “A streetcar named desire” is a good movie. I think it’s a good story and the actors did a great job in each role. The character I liked the most was Stella. I think I kind of admire her because she had to deal with both Stanley and Blanche, although at the end she didn’t take the right decision in my opinion, but we have to understand that at that time it wasn’t easy for women to take that kind of decisions. If it´s difficult now for some women to take the decision of leaving their husbands when they are being abuse, can you imagine how it was at that time? On the other hand the character that I didn’t like was obviously Stanley, even when I think Marlon Brando did a great job in this role. He made it so real that you really feel you hate Stanley.
