A quote from People Magazine
says, "He was handsome enough to be a heart throb,
tough enough to play a thug, and gifted enough to challenge
Laurence Olivier as the greatest actor whoever lived."
Marlon Brando was unlike any other leading man from
Hollywood. He was as some would say, more intense, more
animalistic and iconoclastic.
He was an angry young anti-hero
that won Oscars for such performances. Marlon Brando
constantly wanted to surprise people the rebellious
side of him, that didn't let him do what people expected;
funny, because throughout the years we began to expect
just that of him. Such qualities are seen in films such
as: "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951), "On
The Waterfront" (1954), "The Wild One"
(1954), "The Godfather" (1972), and "Last
Tango In Paris" (1973).
Though now, Marlon is sadly
settling down and doing high-priced cover cameos in
commercials, his "disdain for Hollywood's creative
decline is understandable yet lamentable." But
the shows not over yet, and if there is one thing we
have learned from the rock hard Brando, it's watch your
back, because you never know what you're going to get.
Who knows, maybe he's just waiting to seize that perfect
opportunity. Only time will tell. (CD)
