[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1071411, member: 70552"] Yeh Brando is not in the first film for large swathes of the film, but when he is in it I think his presence is immense. He won best actor at the academy awards but declined to accept it in protest of the treatment of Native Americans and even got a Native American lady to go up decline on his behalf. He was supposed to be in the second one, but for whatever the reason wasn’t but the penultimate scene in that one and him being invisible lends greater power to that scene IMO. Lol, yeh there’s a reason for that Vito’s character was based on a number of Mafia bosses, but Brando primarily based his raspby voice on Frank Costello (a former Sicilian mob boss of one of the 5 New York Families) after seeing footage of him speak, and as Vito’s character got shot in the neck. Hence use of the cotton wool in the cheeks. And Brando was a method actor and didn’t learn his lines, often reading them off cue cards and improvising. [/QUOTE]
