   oldhollywood:

   Vivien Leigh, Kim Hunter, & Marlon Brando in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951, dir. Elia Kazan)

   Interviewer: “I thought in the beginning we’re supposed to be on Brando’s side and against her, and then the tables turn.”

   Elia Kazan: “Now this is another place where I did ambivalence. And I’ve been criticized for this a lot. Some people say I made Brando the hero. I didn’t mean to make Brando the hero. But I wanted to show exactly what [Tennessee] Williams meant, which is that he, as a homosexual, is attracted to the person he thinks is going to destroy him – the attraction you have for someone who’s on the other side, supposedly dead against you, but whose violence and force attract you. Now, that’s the essence of ambivalence.”
