[QUOTE="Bruce_ma gooshvili, post: 1071406, member: 74121"] Yeah, Brando is a bit of an enigma to me despite his critical acclaim. In his early work On the Waterfront, The Wild Ones and A Streetcar Named Desire he just seemed to play a kind of manchild and personally I don't think those films have aged well. I also wasn't a fan of Apocalypse Now (maybe because I like the source material, I don't know). I think if you aren't captured by his 'magnetism' it is easy to overlook him. But hey, the guy got paid $4 million to say a few lines in Superman and kept getting hired despite his ludicrous behaviour (he once insisted that a polynesian hotel worker he had taken a shining to be cast as the leading lady in Mutiny on the Bounty, before marrying her) so people that know far more about cinema than me obviously rated him to put up with this sort of thing. I like all three Godfathers though (yes, even 3 :O ), so will give Brando his due for that one but maybe he wouldn't have mumbled so much in it it he hadn't stuffed his cheeks with cotton wool!
