i grown to love marlon..Just the other day i happend upon his very first movie .."The Men" ..and hes great.hes way of acting has faded big time these days .the emotion is gone these days from alot of actors..everything seems soo wordy and forced..The thing that made marlon great is that he understood acting..One thing i hate is when people connect him with method acting ..which is soo untrue ..he was greater than that.its what people these days need to see

He could have Stanley as mush as he could have, but the fact is that was his best on screen. His performance is so out of the world that it is difficult for me to watch another actor, I give up. As Stanley Kowalski, Brando is in full force, he is so present there that Stanley will never die. Stanley is like a guy next door, a passionate, funny brute, who gives no damn. Perhaps there was quite a huge part of Stanley in Brando and maybe that made him despise the character.

@LucLeFou Damn! There's never a shortage of that! You must be making $30/hr atleast. There's too much math in that, that's why I didn't do it. My bros. wife does it she's making $45/hr. I studied Media Maintenance Tech. starts as interns then hired if you're lucky. Most of us aren't lucky. That's why I'm going to go to more training. Didn't cost me a dime though. It was fun. As long as I work w/ my hands, I'm a happy man.Peace.

@LucLeFou YEah. What job did you land? I'm a veteran so that shit is paid for. But job market sucks ass so I'm gonna be getting a shit job for a while(which doesn't really bother me.) I'm graduating in May thinking becoming an apprentice or going vocational. What do you do?

I loved college BTW 4 years were good...real good. Economy/job market is a bitch

@JPLV Maybe also the poor role choices.

Its like he attempted to turn shit into gold.

He partly fucked himself. He had so much but made poor desicions.

@CobainLennon8094 Sadly, his legacy was hurt tremendously by the whole blacklisting/communism-case.

But I agree with you, he is one of the greatest and most important filmmakers of all time.

It's a joke that Elia Kazan is so underated. If all he ever did was Street Car, Viva Zapata and On the Waterfront he would still be ahead of Quentin Tarantino.
