In Reply to: Maybe you should go to the theater... posted by RGA on June 9, 2005 at 21:36:44:
Brando pointed out that it was easy to become bored and repetitious in the theatre. He added that if you think film acting is easy, try to perform some earth-shattering emotion with 60-70 crew members standing around, all the time aware that if you move your head one half inch to your left, you are either out of focus or perhaps even out of the shot.Want to know what Brando considered REAL acting?
Go to an office where someone has just gotten a promotion..."Aw gee, thanks, Boss..." Brando wondered why people were interested in his views of the mechanics of acting when everyone acts all day.
Follow Ups:
Certainly not to me --- so I don't really have much interest in what he had to say about the subject. Most Hollywood actors who are any good end up on the stage --- John Malkovich makes movies to suppliment his stage work and his studio --- The movies pay his bills. He also happens to be one of the best movie actors.Brando was a Star -- that is different from acting. To me Brando was one of the most overrated actors in the industry.
Most real actors prefer the stage -- which isn't to say that film acting is easy but film acting also lets you do 300 takes to meet the director's vision...it's no-pressure compared to the stage - and bad actors and bad performances can be altered in the editing room pieced together until you have something.
I think those actors who are in it for the art and not just the money will agree that the stage is the palce to be.
