Reflection on A Streetcar Name Desire


I like this play more than the play before. This is because Streetcar name desire is something that I can understand well The play started with the storyline where Stanley Kowalski - The husband of Stella show he himself that he had tragic with Blanche. He is loyal to his friends, passionate to his wife, and heartlessly cruel to Blanche. By the play’s end, he is a disturbing degenerate: he beats his wife and rapes his sister-in-law. Horrifyingly, he shows no remorse.
Blanche on the other hand, is the character that I hate most in the movie. She represents the shame of women as she flirts around with any guys. Although she has a lots of sad pass, but I really can’t stand a teacher flirting around with her innocent and guilty face when he meet with any guys, and pretend to be young and pity. The most terrible thing that I piss off with her is when she asks Mitch to marry her. She really humiliates all the women in the world. She shouldn’t do that. But one thing felt sad is that her relationship has been destroyed by Stanley and she has been raped by Stanley and she had been committed to an insane asylum at last.

After watching it, it gives me a more clear picture of what a streetcar name desire is. i started to love the story, the characters, the setting, the plots, but not the theme.....

Reflection on the movie Macbeth







Seriously. This movie is violent and is bloody. The storyline is about war in the olden century. Macbeth is about a warrior and because he had listened to the soothsayer, that he will be the mighty king, so, he killed his king and shifts the blame to the guards. Besides, he also attempts to kill his own best friend so that he has no obstacle in his way of being a king because he has no secret in his way of being a king. But he becomes more and more greed and he want to know more what it will happen later. So he went for the three prophecies again to make know about his life road.
Sadly, in the end, he creates a lot of bloods of his peoples included his own queen and he was killed under the sword on a man which was not born by a woman exactly what the prophecy had said.

reflection on pgymalion and shakespear walla



"Pygmalion" is a movie that describes how accent can determine economic opportunity and social status. It also provides an introduction to phonetics and to the Greek myth of Pygmalion. The movie allows children to work through the romantic situations of Eliza, Higgins and Eliza's friend, Freddie. Eliza demonstrates an inner strength that will not accept the limitations of a class system that denies the intrinsic value of the individual. i like this movie because the characters is beautiful. This is a very nice movie and it can cheer us up.A gal from a florish family become a standard class women. i really like it much..

However, sharespear walla, is a boring movie that make me feel sleepy.i somehow dont know what shakespear want to bring out from that movie.
