Behind the Scenes A Streetcar Named Desire, playwright by Tennessee Williams, was first performed on stage but was also made into a film in 1951 directed by Elia Kazan, who also directed the stage production original, starring Marlon Brando as Stanley Kowalski and Vivien Leigh as Blanche Dubois. The two versions, both the screenplay and the theatrical performance, have the same plot, the characteristics of the characters and the same settings. Reading dialogue makes the reader want to see the story, whether it's a play or a movie. The execution of the plot will depend on how the director or theater director will guide their actors and actresses to act well to make the narrative elegant. The original script remained the same for the film adaptation. However, even if we say that both adaptations are more or less the same, there will be revisions, small or large, just like any other typical stage play turned into a film. The opening scene is one of the key points that make the film version superior to the theatrical version due to the visual effects implemented in the film. Censorship played a significant role in altering the image of the play, that's why the original screen is different from the play due to the regulations of the Motion Picture Association of America. The film version has less exposure of the issue when it comes to bisexuality and child exploitation than the stage version. The differences between the stage production and the film version are the opening scene of the plot which emphasizes the theme of desire, the kiss scene between Blanche DuBois and the boy collector, and the censorship of homosexuality in the story. First of all, Elia Kazan, the director, wants to emphasize the opening screen of the work as close as possible...... to the middle of the page...... and the child exploitation has been altered or deleted from the film in the attempt to make it healthier for society. Although some scenes were taken from the film, new dialogue was written to make the script less erotic. The opening scene is one of the major changes between the film and the play. In the film, the act highlights the main theme of the plot which helps the viewer grasp the gist of the plot from the beginning: Desire. The love affair between Blanche and the collector made the scene less lewd. The exploitation of a teenager in the play was removed in the film because it was inappropriate for the viewer. Censorship is also one of the key figures who altered the scene of the original work. In the script, Blanche's late young husband's homosexuality was completely removed because it was expressed as immoral.
