Summer 1943. A young 19-year-old man arrives in New York with just a few dollars in his pocket. His dream was to become the greatest actor in the world. Eleven years later, after appearing in the film A Streetcar Named Desire, The Wild One and On the Waterfront, he earned the title “king of actors”.
Brando excited our imagination and generated more clichés than any other star with his aura, powerful performances, extravagant beauty, rebel attitude, and a career path that had never been seen before in the history of cinema. But there was another person hidden behind the Hollywood image: a private, secret Brando. Away from the spotlights, his life was a dark novel, a never-ending road leading to increasing neurosis and self- destruction.

Marlon Brando was very intellectual & way ahead of his time on all issues. If by chance he questioned anything, he immediately researched & found the answer. Most of the time, he already knew the answer. His mind was always at work. His close friend Karl Malden called him a genius. He truly was! RIP Marlon Brando🙏💔🤴♥️ You are an Icon that will NEVER be duplicated‼️I think he's the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen‼️🫅♥️🫅♥️🫅♥️🫅

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.

@CG-ee1cz Ай бұрын

Marlon wasn't lazy for no reason(s)...Marlon was severely depressed and self sabotaged his personal life and his acting career, all the avoidances and negative actions made it worse yet he chose them anyway. Maybe deep down he felt if he was lazy to do anything then in a way the cycle of destruction would end too. Sad that he became like his father maybe worse and his personal life especially the children were deeply bothered too. Not a healthy environment from any Parent it seems. I feel if Marlon cared for anything he too wouldn't have ended so alone and emotional baggages. May he have peace and had a clear perspective from above. 🕊

Why ask God to bless dead people? If you are a follower/believer in Christ as God in the flesh, you go to heaven which is the greatest blessing. If not, the Bible is very explicit, you end up in the lake of fire for eternity. Pray for salvation for the living.

@atiphwyne5609 2 ай бұрын

@SaltyChips-dh3mp Name one unequivocal verse in the Bible which states that Jesus peace be upon him is God and that we should worship him. One who is born to the stomach of a woman and who according to you died on the cross is what happens to humans not God. If you think not having a father makes you God, then Adam peace be upon him must be an even greater God because he had neither father nor mother. I would advise you to study Islam, it is possible you might profit from the experience.

A great bio pic! As a young NYC actor many years ago, I knew actors/people in the theater who knew and hung with him. One of those was a great off-Broadway director and acting teacher Gene Frankel. He was a "downtown" legend who worked with everyone and had attended the Actors Studio when Brando was there. He and Brando were on the Studio softball team (a little-known fact in NY theater is that during the summer big-time theater groups and Broadway shows have teams that play against one another). Gene said Brando would play outfield and try to catch the ball with his feet and other such "I-don't-give-a-shit" behavior. Gene said "He was not a team player, Marlon". So it made me laugh when the narrator says the same thing about him in this video.

35:00 I hate this perpetuated put down that James Dean was just copying Marlon Brando. There is no denying he was an admirer of his, most actors coming up at that time were, but to claim that Brando was the first to wear casual clothing and ride a motorcycle is absurd and therefore anyone else that has the vaguest of similarities is unoriginal and they must be copying Brando. It's just lazy conjecture that demeans Dean.

But I don’t so people would over think it was worse then it was or it was my ego ect then after someone gets to know me they no it’s no big deal but I’m just not hiding it. I think this is what he experienced and people would have their own take on what he was feeling and this is what’s upsetting.
