I normally have a lot to say when it comes to acting technique, process, etc, but with Marlon Brando I have no words. He was something else. Holy.....Noble.
Marlon Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony, a Hell's Angel in THE WILD ONE. Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, a Japanese man in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.
@@morgantylerv9406 Also let’s not neglect his formative years honing his craft of revolutionary, fully-alive stage acting between ‘45 and ‘49. He played Kowalski, as you all know, in the original stage production on Broadway of STREETCAR starting in Dec ‘47 and closing on Dec ‘49, carrying the run for a total of 855 performances!
How about Leonardo Di Caprio ? im not even his fan because i think he's arrogant and fake in real life but...he played a few things and has a lot on the pipe, any thoughts?
He was such a good actor. He made it look easy. You couldn't take your eyes off of him when he was doing his thing. He is definitely missed. Thankfully we have his movies to remember him by.
It's crazy seeing the clip with Kirk Douglas, who was "getting older" at the time, and realizing that he lived another 28 years. Aside from that debilitating stroke he had a beautiful, long life. Another Hollywood legend.
There are actors and there are stars that shines above..Marlon was one of those stars that will shine forever..the most talented brilliant actors for all generations.
Wow marlon told Christopher reeves not to go crazy doing stunt work & relayed a story how he fell off a horse & sure enough that’s how reeves became paralyzed. Wow
You can measure the profound influence Marlon Brando had on film making by watching his films, but it's strangely more impactful hearing the effect he's had on his colleagues. Fascinating collection of impressions.
I fell for and was mesmerized by Brando when I was 10 and saw Waterfront. OMG❣️ His compassion - and gentleness have no equal. If anyone ever gets a chance to see him in The Men, don’t miss it. The Rose Tattoo - wow. Brilliant, passionate man❤️
I was lucky enough to work with Marlon towards the end of his career.. one of the most charismatic people I’ve met… very engaging when he’s in direct conversation with you …very focused in the discussion… and he was a prankster… we had an actress who took herself a bit too serious and Marlon would tease her and get her to break and laugh… He was great.. I’m glad I had the experience.
@@dillionoshea7535 i really can’t say… We always had a very tight set.. good security… I enjoyed working with him and I enjoyed my conversations with him…
Brando was an enigma, absolutely incredible! He was full of contradictions and idiosyncrasies, extremely vulnerable and sensitive - but with great kind heart and humanity. Actors only saw one side of him, most of them didn’t know about his life and his causes; some were very jealous, others simply misunderstood him. There are so many people who remember him with great fondness, he championed and advocated so many social changes and causes, he was brave and passionate! Karl Malden is the only one who knew more about him than others and spoke so kindly about Marlon. And the BEST actor, hands down!
Thank you for such kind words. It was a decent amount of work putting them together, but such a pleasure; and the reaction to them has been mind-boggling at times. I'm not sure when I'll do more. My life is rather busier these days than it was this time last year when I began this series of videos. However, time will tell, as she always does. God bless.
I sense Karl Malden was one man he loved like a brother and trusted like a brother, and it's quite clear Karl felt the same way about Brando. You can hear the pain in his voice and those last days
I loved Marlon Brando, my first movie of course was The Godfather all of them . I was a young teenager and I loved his voice such amazing man. Later on I saw, Superman, Apocalypse now, Guys and Dolls, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Don Juan Demarco, The Freshman, The Score which is truly my favorite. Plus of course Tango In Paris 💞 He was truly amazing actor and I've never been disappointed in any of his movies RIP MR. Brando 🙏🕊️🙏🕊️🙏
What Chris Reeve said about him not caring reminds me of a quote from Sunset Boulevard "A dozen press agents working over time can do terrible things to the human spirit". That sums up for me what he went through and then some. When you are as famous and infamous as he was, it takes a toll. Everyone wanted a piece of him. He was and always will be the fucking greatest in my eyes. But fame can fuck up your life permanently. Fame at the level he has is dangerous, the acting he did was dangerous in the sense that it took him places so fucking deep that it really fucked him up. That's why a lot of those truly method actors became what they did.

One of the things that bugs me most about Christopher Reeve’s criticism of Brando (on Letterman in 1982) is the way he confidently proclaims “what happened” to Brando’s acting career, about how the press praised him regardless of whether he worked hard or not, etc., as if Reeve had any inside knowledge of what was actually going on in Marlon Brando’s life or psyche at the time. (Also I don’t remember Brando’s press coverage being as Reeve described.) It seems especially rude considering how graciously and generously Brando greeted him on Superman, with gifts and personal attention and advice, as Reeve described in the previous clip. It makes me suspect that their relationship soured at some point, which could have been either’s fault (or neither’s). I think Reeve’s gripe is personal, and he’s not admitting that here.
He had a way of completely involving himself into the character he played, and put charisma into it. 10:25 She's pretty much like the character she played. 18:13 Probably based himself on the Jack Woltz character. I looked at this and I believe that all of the the actors in this film, regardless of race, creed etc, are highly intelligent. I'm guessing that that's required to get on that level, in general. It's obvious that some can sneak through the cracks but again in general but it's few and far between. I met Jonathan Provost (Lassie) once at a comic con, and we got into a conversation about this. He told me that people sometimes ask him what his opinion is of how one can get into the business. He said when this happens he tells the person straight out, get the script for your favorite film, pick out the character you like so much learn all of the lines and be able to recite them within four days. He said that would be the very first step
Marlon Brando was a true rebel, innovative, passionate, actor that did have a feminine side to him, emotionally that certain actors have and yet remain very masculine. Dwayne Johnson schooled by Marlon.
I, like Mary Tyler Moore, did have a terrific crush on Marlon Brando when I was a teenager. He displayed such a potent masculinity, coupled with a sensitive side that appealed to me terrifically. I loved him in some of his 1950's movies, such as "On The Waterfront" and "Desiree".
In an interview in the seventies, director Fred Zinnemann, who directed Brando's first film and Monty Clift's second (although it was the first to be released in theaters), was asked who, in his opinion, was the best actor he he had directed throughout his career. Zinnemann responded, Spencer Tracy.
Love what kirk said " he created a lot of bad actors " so true as he explained brando was so unique & many actors copied him instead of doing their own thing.
for you mooning fans, listen to the BEATLES' 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'. McCartney's singing, and he chuckles while singing a line. Lennon ,who hated the song reportedly, was ,at that moment, mooning Paul. read that a few a months ago. first heard the tune over 50 years ago.
"Last Tango In Paris" before the opening, garnered off the charts hype about its breaking of sex barriers. Unless you were of fillum going age you can't imagine the anticipation. It was akin to the pre-release buzz generated by "Gone With The Wind" or Liz & Richard in "Cleopatra". I took my seat in front of the silver screen expecting the whole world to go up in flames and when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is?"
LMFAO why is the guy from Kickass talking about Marlon Brando? Seriously? That's the first guy you interview? WOW that's some funny shit yo! I'm still on the floor laughing at this! Priceless!
I can understand how a younger Christopher Reeve could talk like that BUT Marlon was old school Hollywood . The new Hollywood wasn't the same . About the only reason STAR WARS was approved was because 20th Fox President Alan Ladd Jr loved American Graffiti . Most of Hollywood when Superman was made didn't know about movies .
Oh man, Christopher Reeve really should have taken Brando’s advice about being careful about stunts and particularly riding horses, and talking about how Brando got bucked off a horse and landed on his head.
"Bring on the horse .... two seconds later and he's on his head in the dirt." If only Christopher could've seen his future with a particular horse and alter events as he did in play acting Superman with Lois? Such things, however, are not meant to be. I only pray he's in a better place along with Marlon.
I had the interesting experience of meeting Christopher, and actually made a life cast (shoulders and head). He was a modest, soft spoken, and genuine guy, very nice man and even rather self-effacing. Not at all the Hollywood bigshot that so many other stars become. I still have the life cast of his face.
What Christopher Reeve didn't understand was that it wasn't Marlon's job to care. It wasn't his responsibility to be an inspiration to younger actors. He showed up and did his job. Acting wasn't a passion of his, It was a job. A job that he so happened to be very good at. You can't blame him for being sick of the industry and all the people running it.
There are a lot of things that aren't your job. You do them anyway because there is something good to be done and you are one of the few people who are capable of doing it. Good things don't just happen. Great power = Great responsibility
@@saytr4 Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale; If somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy not a care in the world.. somebody lied. Whatever life holds in-store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility". This is my gift; my curse.
@@theflorgeormix his way of acting cannot be imitated by anyone. It his natural talent and he does it effortlessly. If someone imitated him it look funny and cringe 😂.
Listen he was special but he went off the rails in the middle to latter stages of his life kind of like Howard Hughes. A few people Reeve and DuVall in particular were very open and honest about that.
STILL , he told the truth about how Hollywood treated Native Americans in movies . And the American press tried to crucify him over his Oscar refusal .
@@akfreed6949 Okay yeah that was a noble gesture but he was batshit crazy for decades . He's fathered 11 children with lost count on how many different women. Listen I like the guy too but see the big picture
@@marlon-jl4ge why don’t go and do a little research on his dark side? Ex wife’s, ex male lovers, the cheating, his anger, sex addiction and god only knows what else. Don’t get me wrong, I think he was a great actor that did some beautiful things, but the truth is - HE WAS NO SAINT. He caused a lot of heartache to those who loved him ❤️
Christopher Reeve was absolutely right. Brando gave superb performances in his youth, but became so revered that later in his career, he just got lazy. He had his lines taped to Robert Duvall during the making of the Godfather. Kind of an insult to the actor you're playing opposite when you turn them into your walking autocue.
Thanks for this video, it has made me see why Brando was such an exceptional actor, which I did not know. The only thing nobody talks about is the supposed rape of the actress on The Last Tango in Paris, the Dutch actress Maria Schneider. She has said she was raped and the director has acknowledged, he and Brando alone prepared the scene. It's such a good dramatic scene, because... apparently it's a real one, she is not acting, she is really suffering. I don't know where art should stop but certainly, one frontier is when art harms a person, and I think that the actress suffered a great deal years later. In Europe nowadays, raping is a broad concept including any forced perforation of the anus and the vagina and placing a penis inside the mouth of the victim. If Brando put his fingers with butter in the anus of the actress against her will, then he did rape her. It's very sad that a lot of people turn a blind eye to criminal acts of famous people. In the early seventies the level of consciousness against these crimes were lower and crimes against women and children were more tolerated if not stifled by powerful men. The fact that one is a great artist is not a guarantee that one is never going to commit a crime. For example, the Chilean Nobel Price winner Pablo Neruda was a great and revered poet of love matters and of the dispossessed, and yet he had the courage to publish his I-tell-all- Autobiography after he died and in it he confessed to having raped an illiterate, beautiful, young woman servant in charge of the toilets of his one-man diplomatic mission in Sri Lanka when he was in his twenties. Even a poet can be a rapist given a particular situation where one person holds power over another person. The great American psychologist Zimbardo demonstrated that humans are situational beings. They can be angels or apparently normal in some situations, and then turn nasty, authoritarian, sadistic and even criminals in other situations. The point is the balance of power and the calculation one makes of how to get away with it unharmed. A trait that we share with chimps. It has been demonstrated that chimps only go to war and attack isolated rival chimps if they are 8 in number, because 4 are going to hold the limbs of the opponent, and the other four are going to kill the guy, that is, they also turn up criminals under certain situations while they can also be perfectly lovely dads with their offspring. Other than that, Brando looks to me a perfect example of how art can arise from trauma in childhood and how medically untreated psychic trauma can lead to a tortured life and to damage to other human beings, without diminishing his artistic prowess and his good deeds against racism and taking care of the many children he legally adopted. One can be the one and the other.
Idk where you heard that. I read her interview. She wasn't raped. She was uncomfortable doing the scene. You can wikipedia or google what she said. Kind of neglect of you to accuse a dead man of rape!
Yeah the guy know from superman calls out the guy from the godfather, streetcar, on the waterfront,etc. Being a contrarian is one hell of a way for deflecting attention from your own shortcomings.
@@piranha5506 i disagree. you're saying Brando didn't phone it in the last 20 years of his career???? None of them were bad performances but none of them touched anything he did before apocalypse now. He himself admitted to acting strictly for the paycheck after the Godfather. What Reeve, who worked with him and knew him, was correctly pointing out that being considered the best in the business and putting in the work later in his career was a let down for the profession and the audience. The ONLY film role I can see where he didn't phone it in after 1976 was A DRY WHITE SEASON ...
@@RobertSmith-cx9bl I’m saying the guy who abandoned stage for a superhero movie has no right to call out anyone on selling out. He’s projecting his own insecurities which were reportedly in no short supply.
@piranha5506 PIRANHA... every piece of your argument here sucks. A) Reeve never left the stage. He continued doing theatre right up until his injury. B) Care to guess who did leave the stage for Hollywood? find me a single theatre performance Brando did after 1946. C) Show me where Reeve ever said that Brando sold out? Big difference between phoning it in and selling out. Your forgetting also that Brando himself said on numerous occasions he only took on film work after the Godfather for the paycheck. Now you can hate Chris Reeve all you want but he was never insecure and he wasnt alone in his critique. How about Ed Norton? Do you consider him a washed up insecure actor? Care to guess what he said about Brando later career?
Only other great actors can recognize Brando's talent. The average person, like me, cannot see it. I personally don't think there was anything special about his acting.
i'm an average person, like you and i'm blown away by his talent from Streetcar Named Desire to the Godfather he revolutionized acting especially for men who weren't supposed to display deep emotion on film - Brando did it.
@@sanekabc i would have felt that way regardless of who praised him or not. if you've seen performances by the established male actors at the time like Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, John Garfield... they were good but they kept it relatively safe keeping tabs on a masculine way of portraying emotions as opposed to Brando who no longer played it safe. in Streetcar Named Desire he's unpredictable sometimes coming off more like an angry toddler instead of a 'swell guy.'
Oh please, the only truly astonishing thing about Brando was his unbelievable good looks. The man just oozed sheer animal magnetism out of every pore. When all you have to do is enter a room and light it up, that's a testimony to his appearance only not his acting. As an actor he was good not disputing that, but a "genius," "the greatest actor of all " as he has been called....Ah NO! Brando was way overrated by so many. I wish people in the industry would stop treating Brando as a man with some God like status that everyone wanted to learn from and be like. He was a fine actor like so many others in the movie making business, and that's all that should be said . Seems though far too many cant get past his physical endowments., and Brando sure had them in spades. The camera loved him.
I respectfully disagree. I do agree he wasn’t the best father. But, if you read his backstory on how he was raised…he certainly didn’t have a good upbringing or role model himself to be a father (not an excuse, but an explanation). If you also see the court tapes of him in court during the trial against his son Christian, he was broken. Was he the best father? No. Did he love his kids? 💯 without a doubt.
@@dillionoshea7535agree with you...and i think his children love him too and not hate him at all. Even his daughter rebecca brando give his father tape diary for brando documentary because she wont people misunderstood to her father. and they never bad mouth about brando too
@@redcupidbowlips3793 , do you know how many people he helped, how many causes he pioneered? There are tons of people who remember him with great fondness! Acting was just a part of his life, and you are basing your opinion on what actors say of him - this is just one perspective.
F Christopher Reeves. Like Brando owes you something. I thought his small part in Superman was excellent. Certainly better than the camp performance Reeves gave.
Reeve was not campy at all in his portrayal and its refreshing that Reeve was authentic about his experience. He was there in person with Brando and saw it all first hand.
When Sir Laurence Olivier claims Brando was astonishing, then you know what kind of caliber we're talking about.
And their style was so different too. Yet Olivier could see his talent and skill.

I looked at this and I believe that all of the the actors in this film, regardless of race, creed etc, are highly intelligent. I'm guessing that that's required to get on that level, in general.
It's obvious that some can sneak through the cracks but again in general but it's few and far between.
I met Jonathan Provost (Lassie) once at a comic con, and we got into a conversation about this.
He told me that people sometimes ask him what his opinion is of how one can get into the business.
He said when this happens he tells the person straight out, get the script for your favorite film, pick out the character you like so much learn all of the lines
and be able to recite them within four days.
He said that would be the very first step
Fascinating perspectives....Only know Mr. Brando from The Godfather..Will have to check out Streetcar and others..
Christopher Reeves don't get it, because Marlon is a natural and a genius
Marlon Brando was a true rebel, innovative, passionate, actor that did have a feminine side to him, emotionally that certain actors have and yet remain very masculine. Dwayne Johnson schooled by Marlon.
LMAO yeah right
Love this program it's about our culture... and how it's disolving......
Never seen Brando say, "honey! before. Only, "Stella!" Thanks. Xx
I, like Mary Tyler Moore, did have a terrific crush on Marlon Brando when I was a teenager. He displayed such a potent masculinity, coupled with a sensitive side that appealed to me terrifically. I loved him in some of his 1950's movies, such as "On The Waterfront" and "Desiree".
In an interview in the seventies, director Fred Zinnemann, who directed Brando's first film and Monty Clift's second (although it was the first to be released in theaters), was asked who, in his opinion, was the best actor he he had directed throughout his career. Zinnemann responded, Spencer Tracy.
Would be good to see the Sony handy cam film. Truly an amazing Actor!
Love what kirk said " he created a lot of bad actors " so true as he explained brando was so unique & many actors copied him instead of doing their own thing.
My Aries brother and inspiration! 💪🏻💪🏻
for you mooning fans, listen to the BEATLES' 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer'. McCartney's singing, and he chuckles while singing a line. Lennon ,who hated the song reportedly, was ,at that moment, mooning Paul. read that a few a months ago. first heard the tune over 50 years ago.
Imagine him as the joker
im surprised johnny Depp wasnt in this video, johnny and brando were very close, when he was starting out in his career
I compiled a separate video for Johnny :) check my channel and you'll find it.
Brando in street car named desire and Jack Nicholson early 70’s films.
"Last Tango In Paris" before the opening, garnered off the charts hype about its breaking of sex barriers. Unless you were of fillum going age you can't imagine the anticipation. It was akin to the pre-release buzz generated by "Gone With The Wind" or Liz & Richard in "Cleopatra".
I took my seat in front of the silver screen expecting the whole world to go up in flames and when it was all over I said to myself "Is that all there is?"
Great actor but very toxic and deeply broken inside 😢
He wasn't toxic. The love that emanated from him for everyone, the way each friend and acquaintance talks about him show how clean he was of toxicity.
What did he say? 11:50
It’s bullshit
It’s called ACTING Rod baby.
This guy is like the Mohanlal of English films
Don’t forget “ the freshman”
Reeve should have listened to Brando.
LMFAO why is the guy from Kickass talking about Marlon Brando? Seriously? That's the first guy you interview? WOW that's some funny shit yo! I'm still on the floor laughing at this! Priceless!
One eyed jacks is my favorite
My favorite too....thats movie have beautiful cinematography
@@sekarpertiwi4077 it really does
I can understand how a younger Christopher Reeve could talk like that BUT Marlon was old school Hollywood . The new Hollywood wasn't the same . About the only reason STAR WARS was approved was because 20th Fox President Alan Ladd Jr loved American Graffiti . Most of Hollywood when Superman was made didn't know about movies .
Legend
How ironic was it hearing Christopher Reeves talk about stunts and horses
Oh man, Christopher Reeve really should have taken Brando’s advice about being careful about stunts and particularly riding horses, and talking about how Brando got bucked off a horse and landed on his head.
That was eerie and prophetic.
Christopher Reeves part hits waaay different now 😞
Clearly Kirk did not know him at all. Kirk was a good actor but no where in the same league.
no way!! Kirk was one hell of an actor
Right - in a league by himself. Brilliant❤️❤️
I get the impression that this Brando guy was quite an ok actor.
"Bring on the horse .... two seconds later and he's on his head in the dirt." If only Christopher could've seen his future with a particular horse and alter events as he did in play acting Superman with Lois? Such things, however, are not meant to be. I only pray he's in a better place along with Marlon.
And weird that Christopher died at 52 so he never made it to the age he mentions about Brando being so jaded at 53.
@@robertgiles9124 Good point!
I had the interesting experience of meeting Christopher, and actually made a life cast (shoulders and head). He was a modest, soft spoken, and genuine guy, very nice man and even rather self-effacing. Not at all the Hollywood bigshot that so many other stars become. I still have the life cast of his face.
every one,s favourite guy
LOVE Robert Downey Jr. ☺️
What Christopher Reeve didn't understand was that it wasn't Marlon's job to care. It wasn't his responsibility to be an inspiration to younger actors. He showed up and did his job. Acting wasn't a passion of his, It was a job. A job that he so happened to be very good at. You can't blame him for being sick of the industry and all the people running it.
There are a lot of things that aren't your job. You do them anyway because there is something good to be done and you are one of the few people who are capable of doing it. Good things don't just happen.
Great power = Great responsibility
@@saytr4 Thanks Uncle Ben. I'll remember that.
@@KD.... Did you watch the clip? I'm starting to think you didn't understand Christopher Reeves point.
@@KD.... Are you a kid? I try not to argue with kids. Getting a Tobey Maguire vibe here..
@@saytr4 Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale; If somebody told you I was just your average ordinary guy not a care in the world.. somebody lied.
Whatever life holds in-store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility". This is my gift; my curse.
James Dean only made 3 movies, but he had the raw power to be in Brando's category
Paul Newman imitated him for a short while. But he realized quickly it didn't work.
Soo many actor imitated him and fail. Brando really unique.
@@sekarpertiwi4077 he was the new wave. Paul Newman did a great job imitating him but it was really easy to see. It's funny
@@theflorgeormix his way of acting cannot be imitated by anyone. It his natural talent and he does it effortlessly. If someone imitated him it look funny and cringe 😂.
Crazy to see how Marlon warned Christopher Reeve not to kill your self doing your stunts
And he even specified to be careful about riding horses!
I think Dick Cavett is obsessed with Brando.
31:28 Welp, lotta irony here
A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP
Listen he was special but he went off the rails in the middle to latter stages of his life kind of like Howard Hughes. A few people Reeve and DuVall in particular were very open and honest about that.
Duvall yes. Reeve comes across like he was projecting.
@@piranha5506 Fair enough Reeve did get a bit self righteous
STILL , he told the truth about how Hollywood treated Native Americans in movies . And the American press tried to crucify him over his Oscar refusal .
@@akfreed6949 Okay yeah that was a noble gesture but he was batshit crazy for decades . He's fathered 11 children with lost count on how many different women. Listen I like the guy too but see the big picture
When your intellect is beyond others. That's where Brando was.
Obviously magnificent, but so we’re Elenora Duse & Edwin Booth
Great actor, probably still the greatest (if we consider the time he lived in), but apparently not a nice person..
MB was the Michelle Obama of actors....100%
. How ungracious of Christopher reeve. It doesn't surprise me.
I disagree ,he just told it how he was ...the truth
Unsuspecting fools, hahahaha
Wow ,brando, experts here,i am impressed, hahahaha, hahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣
@@marlon-jl4ge why don’t go and do a little research on his dark side? Ex wife’s, ex male lovers, the cheating, his anger, sex addiction and god only knows what else. Don’t get me wrong, I think he was a great actor that did some beautiful things, but the truth is - HE WAS NO SAINT. He caused a lot of heartache to those who loved him ❤️
@@redcupidbowlips3793 did i say he was a saint?thats none of us,hahahaha
Elia Kazan named names and he will always be remembered for that. On the Waterfront is a classic and the director was a yellow bellied snitch.
Who cares...no one likes Commies except for fools.
Take it easy Commie
The only person to come close is Tom Hardy

Christopher Reeve was absolutely right. Brando gave superb performances in his youth, but became so revered that later in his career, he just got lazy. He had his lines taped to Robert Duvall during the making of the Godfather. Kind of an insult to the actor you're playing opposite when you turn them into your walking autocue.

Thanks for this video, it has made me see why Brando was such an exceptional actor, which I did not know.
The only thing nobody talks about is the supposed rape of the actress on The Last Tango in Paris, the Dutch actress Maria Schneider. She has said she was raped and the director has acknowledged, he and Brando alone prepared the scene. It's such a good dramatic scene, because... apparently it's a real one, she is not acting, she is really suffering. I don't know where art should stop but certainly, one frontier is when art harms a person, and I think that the actress suffered a great deal years later.
In Europe nowadays, raping is a broad concept including any forced perforation of the anus and the vagina and placing a penis inside the mouth of the victim. If Brando put his fingers with butter in the anus of the actress against her will, then he did rape her. It's very sad that a lot of people turn a blind eye to criminal acts of famous people. In the early seventies the level of consciousness against these crimes were lower and crimes against women and children were more tolerated if not stifled by powerful men.
The fact that one is a great artist is not a guarantee that one is never going to commit a crime. For example, the Chilean Nobel Price winner Pablo Neruda was a great and revered poet of love matters and of the dispossessed, and yet he had the courage to publish his I-tell-all- Autobiography after he died and in it he confessed to having raped an illiterate, beautiful, young woman servant in charge of the toilets of his one-man diplomatic mission in Sri Lanka when he was in his twenties. Even a poet can be a rapist given a particular situation where one person holds power over another person.
The great American psychologist Zimbardo demonstrated that humans are situational beings. They can be angels or apparently normal in some situations, and then turn nasty, authoritarian, sadistic and even criminals in other situations. The point is the balance of power and the calculation one makes of how to get away with it unharmed. A trait that we share with chimps. It has been demonstrated that chimps only go to war and attack isolated rival chimps if they are 8 in number, because 4 are going to hold the limbs of the opponent, and the other four are going to kill the guy, that is, they also turn up criminals under certain situations while they can also be perfectly lovely dads with their offspring.
Other than that, Brando looks to me a perfect example of how art can arise from trauma in childhood and how medically untreated psychic trauma can lead to a tortured life and to damage to other human beings, without diminishing his artistic prowess and his good deeds against racism and taking care of the many children he legally adopted. One can be the one and the other.
Idk where you heard that. I read her interview. She wasn't raped. She was uncomfortable doing the scene. You can wikipedia or google what she said. Kind of neglect of you to accuse a dead man of rape!
SO WONDERFUL to see Chris Reeve with the only one to call him out for phoning it in and wasting his talent.... God Bless you....
Yeah the guy know from superman calls out the guy from the godfather, streetcar, on the waterfront,etc.
Being a contrarian is one hell of a way for deflecting attention from your own shortcomings.
@@piranha5506 i disagree. you're saying Brando didn't phone it in the last 20 years of his career???? None of them were bad performances but none of them touched anything he did before apocalypse now. He himself admitted to acting strictly for the paycheck after the Godfather. What Reeve, who worked with him and knew him, was correctly pointing out that being considered the best in the business and putting in the work later in his career was a let down for the profession and the audience. The ONLY film role I can see where he didn't phone it in after 1976 was A DRY WHITE SEASON ...
@@RobertSmith-cx9bl I’m saying the guy who abandoned stage for a superhero movie has no right to call out anyone on selling out. He’s projecting his own insecurities which were reportedly in no short supply.
@piranha5506 PIRANHA... every piece of your argument here sucks. A) Reeve never left the stage. He continued doing theatre right up until his injury. B) Care to guess who did leave the stage for Hollywood? find me a single theatre performance Brando did after 1946. C) Show me where Reeve ever said that Brando sold out? Big difference between phoning it in and selling out. Your forgetting also that Brando himself said on numerous occasions he only took on film work after the Godfather for the paycheck. Now you can hate Chris Reeve all you want but he was never insecure and he wasnt alone in his critique. How about Ed Norton? Do you consider him a washed up insecure actor? Care to guess what he said about Brando later career?
@@piranha5506thank you!
Marlon was the beginning nd he was the end.. you can produce Jesus but not brando
Only other great actors can recognize Brando's talent. The average person, like me, cannot see it. I personally don't think there was anything special about his acting.
i'm an average person, like you and i'm blown away by his talent from Streetcar Named Desire to the Godfather he revolutionized acting especially for men who weren't supposed to display deep emotion on film - Brando did it.
I'm an average person and I think he was a unique individual do I think he was the greatest actor of all time? No but it's only my opinion
Marlon Brando’s genius was in his making acting seamless.
@@haintedhouse2990 I question if you would have felt that way had you not heard the praise reaped on him by others.
@@sanekabc i would have felt that way regardless of who praised him or not. if you've seen performances by the established male actors at the time like Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, John Garfield... they were good but they kept it relatively safe keeping tabs on a masculine way of portraying emotions as opposed to Brando who no longer played it safe. in Streetcar Named Desire he's unpredictable sometimes coming off more like an angry toddler instead of a 'swell guy.'
Oh please, the only truly astonishing thing about Brando was his unbelievable good looks. The man just oozed sheer animal magnetism out of every pore. When all you have to do is enter a room and light it up, that's a testimony to his appearance only not his acting. As an actor he was good not disputing that, but a "genius," "the greatest actor of all " as he has been called....Ah NO! Brando was way overrated by so many.
I wish people in the industry would stop treating Brando as a man with some God like status that everyone wanted to learn from and be like.
He was a fine actor like so many others in the movie making business, and that's all that should be said . Seems though far too many cant get past his physical endowments., and Brando sure had them in spades. The camera loved him.
@@andrewmiller4885 Thank you for sharing your opinion 🙏
He caused so much pain for his children. I can’t admire anyone when I know he was an negligent father to his children. He was disgusting.
I respectfully disagree. I do agree he wasn’t the best father. But, if you read his backstory on how he was raised…he certainly didn’t have a good upbringing or role model himself to be a father (not an excuse, but an explanation). If you also see the court tapes of him in court during the trial against his son Christian, he was broken. Was he the best father? No. Did he love his kids? 💯 without a doubt.
@@dillionoshea7535agree with you...and i think his children love him too and not hate him at all. Even his daughter rebecca brando give his father tape diary for brando documentary because she wont people misunderstood to her father. and they never bad mouth about brando too
His voice though,I'm allways put off by his voice. You look at him and never would imagine his voice, so strange.
Ghv
I read Brando's biography and he came through like a dickhead. These stories redeem him in my mind. The truth is maybe somewhere in between.
Read his autobiography not biography because not accurate at all
@@sekarpertiwi4077 Most of his collaborators would agree that he was very difficult and unhireable in the later stage of his life or do you disagree?
He turned in to a glutton even though he was a great actor. Arrogant too. Former fan
Shame that he was such terrible person that effected many lives and not in a good way. People forget that 🥲
@@redcupidbowlips3793 , do you know how many people he helped, how many causes he pioneered? There are tons of people who remember him with great fondness! Acting was just a part of his life, and you are basing your opinion on what actors say of him - this is just one perspective.
The fools have no idea about the Real brando
F Christopher Reeves. Like Brando owes you something. I thought his small part in Superman was excellent. Certainly better than the camp performance Reeves gave.
Reeve was not campy at all in his portrayal and its refreshing that Reeve was authentic about his experience. He was there in person with Brando and saw it all first hand.
