In Reply to: Powerful disagreement. The character of Fletcher Christian is posted by tinear on July 3, 2004 at 09:16:05:
"a great artist". Nor did he believe there were "great films".As for his interpretation of Fletcher Christian, it is certainly interesting (and possibly accurate). And there is some evidence to support his point of view (much about the Fop, precious little about the conversion)
But on the performance (as opposed to the point of view/interpretation), we do emphatically disagree. Most of the critics detested it as well, though that actually worries me. Every movie Judith Christ ever panned I made sure I saw. I actually think the critics wanted more "Streetcars" and "Waterfronts" (and maybe I did as well) and this episode offended them. Deeply.
As Robert Duval says, Brando was a genius but he got so much less out of his gift that he could have had he really taken it seriously. No matter, really. What he left behind was beyond any of his contemporaries.
