A Streetcar?

Last week, I watched a movie called, 'A Streetcar Named Desire'. Although I knew it to be a classic, I did not really understand the reason behind its fame. And after watching the movie, I still did not see a reason why it is so.

Today, I looked it up on Wikipedia. And after reading the article, things started to make sense.

What dawned on me was the fact that I was unable to identify with the movie and the message the author was trying to potray through because I did not have any knowledge of the those times.
How often do we judge or misunderstand people, simply because we are not aware of the circumstances surrounding them? What is worse, is that they do not come with an article you can read about to understand them a week later. For all our superiority, we are weak and fragile.
