Viva Zapata 1952
INFO:
In 1909, Emiliano Zapata, a well-born but penniless Mexican Indian from a remote province, Morelos, comes to Mexico City to complain that their arable land has been enclosed, leaving them only in the barren hills. His expressed dissatisfaction with the response of the President Diaz puts him in danger, and when he rashly rescues a prisoner from the local militia he becomes an outlaw. Urged on by a strolling intellectual, Fernando, he supports the exiled Don Francisco Madero against Diaz, and becomes the leader of his forces in the South as Pancho Villa is in the North. Diaz flees, and Madero takes his place; but he is a puppet president, in the hands of the leader of the army, Huerta, who has him assassinated when he tries to express solidarity for the men who fought for him. Zapata and Villa return to arms, and, successful in victory, seek to find a leader for the country. Unwillingly, Zapata takes the job, but, a while later, he responds to some petitioners from his own village with no more reassurance than had Diaz years before., Realizing that with power his idealism has gone, he returns with them to Morelos - specifically to investigate their complaints against his brother Eufemio. New leaders take his place, and, egged on by the always surviving Fernando, they decide that Zapata is a threat to

“Director Elia Kazan has been criticized for his appearance on the Un-American Activities Committee that lead many people related to cinematography to be ostracized.
This been said, regardless of his political stand, he had directed many great Oscar winner films as: “Gentleman's Agreement” (1947), “Viva Zapata!” (1952), “East of Eden” (1955), “Splendor on the Grass” (1961) and the present “Streetcar Named Desire” (1951). He has directed two “Movie Icons” as Marlon Brando (more than once) and James Dean obtaining the best from them. All his films explored the inner depth of human soul with unflinching stare.
“Streetcar Named Desire” is not an easy play to film; Tennessee Williams touches many critical issues here, some are shown in the movie and some didn't cross the censor's barrier.
Nevertheless what is left is more than enough to shake the viewer. This is the plot: a middle aged woman from a small Southern town arrives to New Orleans in search of her sister, which has married “a stranger from the big City”. She has an unstable personality and looks for some one to give refuge and sense to her life. Different conflicts arises: she clashes with her brother-in-law on cultural and economic issues; she stresses her relation with her caring sister; finally try to engage into matrimony a friend of her in-law. All this happen while she is psychically deteriorating.
Actor's performances are really top-notch. Vivien Leigh is Blanche DuBois, the troubled fleeing sister and won the Oscar with her performance. Marlon Brando is... just Marlon Brando... giving the first steps of his successful career: He fleshes the pedestrian Stanley Kowalski, which resent and despises her sister-in-law, with a feral untamed force. Kim Hunter as Stella Kowalski gives the best performance of her extended lifework, earning the Oscar to Best Actress in Supporting Role. Last but not least Karl Malden also earned his Best Actor in Supporting Role Oscar with a sober but convincing characterization of Harold Mitchell, Stanley's friend.
Classic film for adult audiences.” – Customer Review on Amazon.com
