Been thinking what it means to be beautiful and how to deal with it in this world. Honestly, I think the more you get to know me, the more beautiful I become. Otherwise, I don’t think I’m that noticeable. Which actually isn’t so bad.
Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) dir. Elia Kazan
CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1958), dir. Richard Brooks
“It was originally set to be filmed in black-and-white, until director Richard Brooks insisted on shooting in color to highlight the famous jewel-toned eyes of Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor. Cinematographer William H. Daniels takes full advantage of the beauty of these leads, lighting them better than they had been before.” [Angelica Jade Bastién, The Contradictory Power of ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’, The Village Voice, November 16, 2016]
