In Reply to: Re: Was he THAT good as an actor? posted by patrickU on July 2, 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.
