"I am not a Pollack. People from Poland are Poles. They are not Pollacks. But what I am is one hundred percent American. I'm born and raised in the greatest country on this earth and I'm proud of it. And don't you ever call me a Pollack. "

I really wanted to watch this movie after On the Waterfront which also has Marlon Brando and is directed by Elia Kazan. Brando was so amazing in on the waterfront however in this he is even better. This movie kicks ass.

On the waterfront is about a girl Blanche DuBois coming to live with her sister and her awesome husband. Blanche is a bit of a bitch and she is an English teacher which makes her worse, Blanche gets a bit of a hard time from Stanley Kowalski (her brother-in-law).

Streetcar named desire is a very good movie and I can not find any flaws however I am sure there are some. When I first watched this movie I was tired and I thought I was picking up some of the words but I wasn't the scene about one hour ten minutes through I found really boring however the second time I extreamly enjoyed it. Every scene in this movie feels polished and Marlon Brando's acting was the best I think I have ever seen. The story is pretty awesome and the romance is really quite good.

I believe this to be the best movie acting ever, then on the waterfront, then taxi driver, probably one flew over and ect... I believe Brando's acting stands aside from anything I have ever seen. Every scene with him in is simply amazing every scene with Brando in, is exciting every line that comes from his mouth has you on the edge of your seat. The character Stanley Kowalski is a slightly tempured and slightly over reacting husband who is not really a bright person. His english is not good, and he is strongly in love with his wife, I loved seeing that even a few minutes after a fight between him and his wife they would start to miss each other and his wife Stella, who was also very cool, would jump straight back into his arms. Stanley was exactly the oposite of Blanche who although is a bitch is acted out not badly and actually adds to this movie a lot. Blanche and Stanley basically hate each other.

Blanche is very lonely and I felt even a little bit sorry for her at times even if she was a bitch. Blanche talks in very big words her way of speching is very sifisticated as she is an english teacher. Blanche is also very disturbed as she lost a husband at a very young age, she has also just lost the family house out in the country. She doesn't like to talk about how she lost the house and Stanley is suspicious about this. Blanche always seems to say the wrong things, I found it quite funny. Even though she is a complete bitch somebody gets to like her, Stanley's friend Mitch.

In conclusion one of the best movies I have seen a true classic, I am pissed off that it is so low in imdb's top 250 however rotten tomatoes has got it right with 100% with an average rating of 9. Streetcar named desire has the best acting ever.
