M&M and Streetcar: drinking game
If you know Streetcar Named Desire, both as a film and as a play, you can play this game.
Every time there's an echo of Streetcar Named Desire in the film, you shout 'Stella' and take a shot.
In the first 10 or 15 minutes you'll be over the legal limit.
The whole film feels like instead of writing a different spin on Streetcar, he wrote a film about someone thinking about writing a film spinning the Streetcar premise (unstable woman enters into the private life of a married couple and causes chaos).
The film is very much like a writing class exercise: Take the premise of a famous story and write it from a different perspective.
Or maybe, 'Take Streetcar Named Desire and rewrite it as a Woody Allen film.' This is what you will come up with.
