Desire

I'm watching A Streetcar Named Desire as I write this, though as much out of a sense of obligation as anything else.

The biggest surprise for me came at the very beginning of the film — there actually is a streetcar named "Desire." I'd always assumed it was just a metaphor (it is, of course), and I had no idea that streetcars in New Orleans could have such colorful names (though most don't — this one was named for Desire Street, the route that it followed).
