I read it a couple of times some time ago. Novella it is, hardly

pertinent.
Kurtz was a lunatic which Brando perfectly portrayed. His performance was completely original, low-keyed and chilling. With Hopper, the wild-eyed performance already was filled; also, Sheen's eyes took on that Hollywood intensity. You expected Brando to make it a trio of scenery chewing?
As far as weight, who cares? Fat or thin, tall or short?
Without Kurtz, the film was worthless. All through the story, we heard about the character. When he appeared, he was riveting, mysterious, hideous. A masterful characterization that is unforgettable. Genius.
Brando's acting wasn't based on long preparation, memorization. He felt those detracted from the spontaneity and realism necessary to greatness. Very early on, he began to write dialogue on sheets of paper or even on his fellow actors. Who cares? Not only was he the greatest male film actor this country ever produced, he was the clear model to one of its other greats, James Dean.
