It's too bad he had such hostilies towards acting. When he was great no one ccould surpass him. I still think Last Tango In Paris is his best performance. After pouring so much of himself into the caharacter of Paul he vowed never to do it again and sadly he was true to his word. His acting performances following got more weird and contemtuous of acting itself. Look at either Missouri Breaks or The I sland of Dr. Moreau or Apocalypse Now. Hints of greatness but sabotaged by characture.
brando..born to act! even hes features are designed to be pleasant to look at.....when i saw streetcar named desire i coudnt take my eyes off him..and im not even gay!
You can see from this interview that he is such a good actor, the way he turns the whole interview on its head, its odd in real life but it shows he had amazing instincts. You can see he would have been great at all the improvisation rubbish they get you doing, being a herd of buffalos trapped in a rocket on the moon etc...and he would have relished the fun and games drama school interviews where they ask the wierdest (sometimes unrepeatable) questions!
@cutandpaste1 What we've had for at least 10 years are big blockbusters with the highest paid stars which are very safe and promoted and exibited on a huge scale and indie movies which more often end up on video. Indie movies are not necessarity better just different, smaller, unknown talents,etc.. If anything, indies appeal to very tiny audiences of obsessed people not targeted by studio movies. Great talents are not emerging from them as in the past.
Thats a good piece of advice over there, there's gotta be some dialog. can't be an individual blabbering his mouth off, disagreement must lead to a conversation if not an argument. sadly we're already in a lota trouble. Marlon is the complete package.
My interpretation: we need dialogue. We need direct democracy. We need the internet. Because without these, we will have pontificating dictators controlling our lives and minds.
That's brilliant that he's talking about exponential population growth. He knew we didn't have much time. It's now commonly recognized by experts that we have already reached peak world oil production. Marlon, you got off easy.
sadly it seems not many would care to hear what the camera man or lighting man would have to say and that's way interviews of Marlon Brando are looke for because some seem interested in what he had to say, not the dialogue.
Does anybody realize that the kind of media that Marlon was talking about at the end -- the non-formulaic, interactive kind in which dialogues are had and ordinary people, not just the "stars," give their opinions -- is the kind that we have now with YouTube? It's amazing. He was very astute about what was coming.
Despite my comments about his acting, I always liked the bastard though. He
would have been fun to be around, when he was just himself. Even half of those
moments he apparently felt it necessary to be putting you on. Very strange, sad guy. And jeez, look at all those kids and what happened. Good ole Marlon.
@doctornoooo Yeah Marlon became more mannered by the late fifties. Part of him liked to ham it up in those character parts where he did an accent or wore a period costume. Burn was his personal favorite. He didn't like himself in Godfather. 'What did I know about a 65 yr old Italian who smokes goat shit cigars?' People say he was real in Tango but he imitated himself at times. Or was it Dan Duryea? Mitchum was more real. Never caught him acting. Even when he had an accent. Just enough.
@1915fas I dont really see Marlon as an actor. Hes more of a presence on the screen. He always did things in a way only he could have done it, an interesting man.
@nelsano3 Yes, as I wrote above, he was a character actor who was inspired by people like Paul Muni but he was of course a star with his own unique magic. One of his aunts was trained in the Mesmer system of hypnosis and who knows, maybe Marlon was acquainted with this but never told anyone.
@1915fas He even did a play with Paul Muni, in 1946, 'A Flag is Born' (about Israel's birth) and said that he watched all 'new Lon Chaney''s movies. And Paul Muni is in fact the only dude who said - from what I've read - that Marlon Brando was far from being 'the' greatest actor ever.
@roxor1080 I've never heard about the new Lon Chaney movies. Were these DVDs of Lon Sr. or Jr.? Sr. I would suppose. That's not surprising since like Chaney he was great at body language. The Muni quote is interesting. He was thrilled when Luther Adler the director of A Flag Is Born told Brando to overact in rehearsals because Muni was tired of his underplaying. The result scared Muni. His jaw was trembling in dumb admiration. I guess he blamed Brando for deserting the theatre.
Nobody could ever get Marlon to sit down and talk seriously about his process when it came to the genius of his acting It was either he didn't understand it or rather didn't care to understand it or maybe he knew (and probably enjoyed) driving people crazy by acting like there was no process and all of it meant nothing OR maybe he didn't feel it was a subject worthy of being discussed seeing as how he's shared on more than one occasion a certain amout of loathing for the whole craft. Who knows?
Good God, look at his eyes, his face, at :26-:34. What an intimidating animal, just burning with intelligence and potential violence. He didn't become a great artist by following the rules, and it shows.
Okay, my schpiel...Please look at the Marlon Brando Interview 1973 (parts 1 to 6, particularly the latter half). They is at least one in the right hand "related videos" bar and can be found via search.
What I like about the 1973 interview is that he says that Americans were (are?) a bunch of killers. I am Briton. I think that the British are a bunch of killers. I think that every strong nation in the history of this planet has been and is a bunch of killers but, the great thing is that now, with the Internet, there is the possibility of realising that fact. We can become self-aware. We can reflect.
Don't take it from me, please see Marlon's 1973 interview (google is your friend).
Brando would've been a great art scientist if he hadn't been an actor instead. What actor nowadays would talk about Marshall Mc-friggin'-Luhan in an interview?! And Brando didn't even go to college. One of a kind, really.
haha marlon throws a cup of coffee at the interviewer and his first concern is that he wasted the coffee! - one of the million reasons why i love this guy
@tomes55moon He knew this part of the musical he did named Guys & Dolls. If you'll watch carefully you'll see the same part happening at the dance scene.

Brando had a kind of genius, but not that much for me. He was just....strange.
I always felt his best role was in Burn and Godfather and was never glad to see
him in many others. Too many mannerisms, I never believed much of what he
said as I did when people like Mitchum I always believed everything they said.
Look at Mitch in Friends of Eddie Coyle, and then just imagine how Brando would
have screwed it up. Anyway, each to his own.
