Some writers believed that Kid was a reference to his dad and the same reason he named Malden's character dad. It was a play on words about him and his real Dad and how he betrayed him in real life, gone for days only to come home like he was a savior.
Hope everybody as enjoyed watching but YOUTUBE in their wisdom decided that I am breaking some kind of ancient copyright law and have threatened to ban me from YOUTUBE !!! if anything they or Paramount should be paying me for promoting their old films and maybe turning on a younger audience to them that may then go out and buy them on dvd! They have already deleted all my clips of 'SHANE' which took me quite a lot of effort to edit and upload back then.
I was refering to Shane which yoiutube deleted Paramount had apparently complained to them that my uploads of Shane from about five years ago were illegal and against copyright law. Anyway they deleted them.
Stanley Kubrick worked for 6 months on this film. Brando fired Kubrick and directed the rest of the picture himself. It went over-budget. Brando, however, converted this project from a director's vision into an actors' journey. It shifted from cimema to stage-play. Brando is the only actor who could so brilliantly pull it off.
Great actors like Brando and Gene Hackman can play all emotions: sorrow, joy and rage with intensity. Sometimes I think anger is the toughest because so few actors can do it realistically (Tom Hanks take note). To see another great explosive moment watch Morgan Freeman and Robert Guilliame go toe-to-toe in a scene from LEAN ON ME.
The scene was unforgettable but Ben Johnson gave a masterful portrayal of his character as well a hateful, cynical, treacherous character. Git' them stinkin fish outa here! They were all great I love this flick.
Yeah your dead right Ben Johnson was brilliant like he always is and really funny with his cynical observatons ' wouldn't want to loose a handful of brains trying to find out' ...great lines.
My fave scene of the movie! I think brando was especially good at sudden outburst/temper/fight scenes; both physically and verbally. The way he is so calm a lot of the time then suddenly let's loose....pretty intimidating for sure! I guess he must bring up a lot of his own inner anger into these scenes to make them so effective. Like the classic temper scene at the meal table in Streetcar...I've yet to watch an actor portray the same kind of phyiscal&verbal energy and anger so realistically.
Yes he was a master at portraying that simmering rage that was just bubbling below his calm brooding surface, superbly demonstrated in this scene. The one and only actor with the same quality in my opinion is the criminally overlooked and neglected Richard Bradford who was a great admirer and fan of Brando.
@HiddenFormula actually there was one Jimmy Stewart he is slightly more terrifying in Winchester 73, but it is very close yuo are essentially right though as for psychotic White Heat Jimmy Cagney is crazier than either
he really makes u pay attention, so powerful and striking, i unfortunately haven't seen the whole film and was wandering y he gets so mad at this guy who seems 2 b playing poker with him?
He's winding him up (Brando), by keep refering to Rio's girl friend as 'a jumping bean' that he's messing around with on the beach Rio's just found out she's pregnant and is beginning to feel a ittle guilty and protective towards her.
Catfishes, thanks for posting this. I liked this movie too when I first saw it in 1962. I like the main theme that runs through it, especially the melody that is played at the beginning while the credits are being shows. I want to mention the actress here Pina Pellicer, Rio's love interest. It's too bad she suffered from depression and took her own life. I did a Wikipedia search on her, she made a few movies and had some popularity in her own native country of Mexico.
Remember watching this film for the first time in a motel somewhere on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. Couldn't take my eyes away from it. Great film, quite captivating. Thanks for the insight on Pina Pellicer, "stillgotit01". Hadn't known any of that about her. I'll check out her wikipedia page...
That's very sad to read Pina committed suicide at age 30. Seemed like the height of her career following 'One Eyed Jacks'. Attributed to depression. Can only wonder what all was involved. Tragic.
Her wikipedia page showed she was also in a TV series called 'The Fugitive'. Which brings to mind how 'The Fugitive Kind' is my favorite Brando film.
From one of the greatest Westerns, Easterns, Southerns, or
Northern movies ever made by one of the greatest Artists of the 20th Century. It is nice to see finally that people have woken up to this true masterpiece.
Thanks for your observations but in my case your preaching to the converted I thought this was a masterpiece when I first seen it in the sixties. As for Brando lets just say when he was good he was the best the other times well not so good!
I wouldn't put any of them as great apart from 'On the Waterfront' and 'The Godfather' what about Viva Zapata, The Men, The young lions, Southwest to Sonora, even Mutiny on the bounty! but for every good film there was a 'Countess from Hong Kong' or 'Candy'. or 'Tea house of the August moon', that's my point.
And don't call me Kid I don't like it, if you want to leave a comment about the film I took the trouble to post then do so but don't get personal.
Sorry took that the wrong way, I do have the up most respect for Marlon Brando thats why I posted up this great film, its also very funny the dialogue has some of the funniest one liners I've ever heard.
Marlon Brando was my favourite actor and in my opinion the best actor of all time.
Absolutely. The best dialogue. Karl's best acting. Ben Johnson was perfect. Everything about this movie is so quintessential.
I'm from Arizona originally but have lived in Los Angeles since 1976. I never got to meet the man but I have a couple of friends that got to know him a little.
The lines are just so powerful. It would be nice to see someone today as good. Oh well.
Ben Johnson as ever was brilliant and so sly and funny ( 'help him not this horse enough scatter gun down there to start a war') K. Malden perfect all the supporting actors were great as well. Went to the States in 1979 for the first time stopped a little while in Arizona, Flagstaff, then moved on to Los Angeles lived in a motel on Sunset for a few weeks then toured all over the West Coast...Loved it
Ha..Ha your in the same groove! he looks like he's gonna crap himself. The film's got a sly humour all the way through everything Ben Johnson says is pal says 'Yeah that's right Bob' the dialogue is really funny one of the funniest scenes is when Ben Johnson's pal first meets Rio and he fancies his chances and Ben Johnson warns him off...I think I'll post it up for a laugh!
big! big! western of marlom brando.
