...probably his best role and a soul searing performance by any standard. This was Brando at his most personal, truthful and vulnerable, achieving his most universal appeal. I haven't seen LTIP in about 15 years and would like to again.
Don Corleone was a well crafted performance, memorable, perfectly judged, but Brando didn't personally invested himself in the role the way he did in LT - I grant you, it didn't require it either. But LT was the role of a lifetime and remains a very special performance. You'd have to go back to Streetcar or On The Waterfront to find anything comparable and LT may be Brando's best ever..
Brando in Apocalypse Now ...whacked, man, very whacked out.
