In Reply to: Re: Was he THAT good as an actor? posted by patrickU on July 02, 2004 at 08:43:36:
when he was bad, he was awful.Probably the best improv actor around. The death scene in "The Godfather" was entirely an improv, the butter scene in "Last Tango" was an improv.
The lighting of his scenes in "Apocolypse Now" was his idea and immediately agreed to by Copola. He contributed other aspects of the movie as well.
But; in "Mutiny on the Bounty" they had cue cards all around because he couldn't remember a line to save his life. That trait worsened as he got older.
The columnist Shana Alexander once said about Brando that "where most of us have a goat path to our subconcience, Brando has a four lane highway" She was right.
I can't say that he will now be missed because he had done little of note recently. But I have missed the Brando of "Streetcar", "Waterfront", "Godfather", "Tango" and "Guys and Dolls" since he abandoned acting for self indulgence.
Follow Ups:
What Shana said is a kind of illumination, it seems so truth as its jumping right into your face, and that must be so. I donīt think he was very intelligent nor cultivate. He made quite a few good things in his life, speaking for minority, and that was good.
He was one of the last great hollywood star.
He was a part of our life even if he fades long time ago. His death is taking a little peace of ourself in the eternity of time.
Now a shadow more around us, the still living.
Sad.
