I adore Blanche DuBois, the main character from Tennessee William' A Street Car Named Desire. I've been studying this play all year, and she just fascinated me. Her character is so beautiful, inside and out. The way she cannot replace fantasy with reality; she hides away from the truth, escaped from it to avoid pain. I love how she dresses up in all sorts of clothes, attempting to re-boost her Southern Belle past. She's labelled as the 'fading Southern Belle'. Last year they were reshowing the play with Rachel Weisz playing the part of Blanche. Me and my friend travelled all the way to the theatre in London to see it, but to our luck, there were no more tickets! I was so annoyed because Rachel Weisz is my favourite actress! She's so beautiful and she's an amazing actress, the parts she plays are always unexpected, which is what I love. Take The Mummy for instance, who would have thought she'd be playing Evelyn? Such an awful film, but I loved it :)
Yes, as you can see I have this undoubted love for films. I must watch at least one film a day. I love how films enable you to escape reality! Just like Blanche :) Yes, I know I am a little cheesy!
