Hi, Juls and all
Hey Juls and all,
Streetcar...read the play in Southern Literature class. Also watched the movie with Vivien in it. Vivien has a very interesting biography, which illustrates manic depression realistically. I love Streetcar for it's exposure of how women throughout history have literally been disposed of by throwing them into the looney bin for trumped up charges of insanity for being sexual -- and note the irony of her sexuality being exploited first via the rape. Use and throw away. I like this kind of art that is real art -- art reflecting life...ugly reflections of real life that expose what society would like for us to file away in our mental file cabinet labelled anything but what it really is...rah, rah realism...
Love,
Nancy
