Thomas Lanier "Tennessee" Williams III (March 26, 1911 – February 25, 1983) was an American playwright. Along with Eugene O'Neill and Arthur Miller, he is considered among the three foremost playwrights of 20th-century American drama.
After years of obscurity, he became suddenly famous with The Glass Menagerie (1944), a play that closely reflected his own unhappy family background. This heralded a string of successes, including A Streetcar Named Desire (1947), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), and Sweet Bird of Youth (1959). His later work attempted a new style that did not appeal to audiences, and alcohol and drug dependence further inhibited his creative output. His drama A Streetcar Named Desire is often numbered on short lists of the finest American plays of the 20th century alongside Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night and Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman. Much of Williams' most acclaimed work was adapted for the cinema. He also wrote short stories, poetry, essays and a volume of memoirs. In 1979, four years before his death, Williams was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
Abandoned by her husband, Amanda Wingfield comforts herself with recollections of her earlier, more gracious life in Blue Mountain when she was pursued by 'gentleman callers'. Her son Tom, a poet with a job in a warehouse, longs for adventure and escape from his mother's suffocating embrace, while Laura, her shy crippled daughter, has her glass menagerie and her memories. Amanda is desperate to find her daughter a husband, but when the long-awaited gentleman caller does arrive, Laura's romantic illusions are crushed.

评分 评分1929年9月美国股市崩盘,一个月内跌去40%,自此全世界陷入大萧条。到1933年时,美国工业总产量和国民收入跌去一半,商品批发价下跌近三分之一,3月,失业人口来到1400万人,占劳动力的四分之一。大规模的失业大大降低了生活水平,《玻璃动物园》的故事就是在这样的背景下发生的...
评分An emissary from a world of reality that we were somehow set apart from. The long delayed but always expected something that we live for.
评分Tom的人物塑造还是比较单薄,可能他还不太想剖析自己吧;田纳西威廉姆斯的早年生活,出场角色只有四个,还不太成熟但很特别,看得出他对妹妹的怜爱。

评分I didn't go to the moon, I went much further--for time is the longest distance between two places. /The scene is memory and is therefore nonrealistic. Memory takes a lot of poetic license. It omits some details; others are exaggerated, according to the emotional value of the articles it touches, for memory is seated predominantly in the heart.
评分简单的故事 有张力的对手戏 对演员来说演起来应该是很爽的吧... 特别想看大佬说对白 看的时候脑子里都是他的声音...其实Laura在现在应该太多太常见了吧! 不过麻麻叫Amanda, 基友叫Jim的设定真的好么 脑洞就是这么被打开的!
