The Difficult Fate Of Marlon Brando - Full Biography (The Godfather, Last Tango in Paris, The Chase)
video description
Also, could you do a bio on the late great actor David Janssen who was also very interesting. He may have lived only nearly 49 years but he was very filled up with an interesting life. His vices of drinking, cig smoking and jumping from woman to woman may have wore him out to die young but he was a fantastic personality to follow.
Thank you if you are willing and able to do a doc on these two guys.\r\n

To frame the Godfather as a metaphor for 'capitalism' in America is misguided. Even if Coppola himself framed it that way. It's more like a metaphor for 'corruption' in America. And Socialism or Communism is not the antidote to corruption. As a matter of fact, it is the ultimate corruption. The corruption of 'crony' or 'stakeholder' capitalism is in no way related to the 'free-market'. The free-market when it works correctly (not by government picking winners and losers, is the only 'antidote' to lifting societies and civilizations out of poverty. And also realizing that 'perfect' or 'Utopia' is impossible, that which universal law will never allow can ever be attained. And the more you try to do so, the more fascist and authoritarian a society becomes. We can only improve by accepting these realities to which Communism ignores. By ridding of 'Capitalism', or the free-market, you will never rid of man's greed. It finds it's way through no matter what. And a Communist or centralized government will only make matters worse. This is why the best system ever created known to man is America's constitutional republic along with the free-market. Nothing is perfect, but no one else has a 'fire-wall' quiet like America's. And in these times that is being tested more than it ever has.

I have not watched all Marlon Brandon movies but quite a few. Not just the obvious choices like The Godfather, On the Waterfront, A Streetcar Named Desire and One-Eyed Jacks but some of the others. So far. Marlon Brandon hasn't been bad in any of them. I can't say all the movies as a whole has been great but always interesting to see Marlon Brando. I will continue my search for the others.

Look, I am a big Brando fan. But his rejection of that Oscar ceremony was pure hypocrisy. He did not say anything about people being free. His gripe was at the caricatures Hollywood made of it's Indian characters.
Check out his movie -The Teahouse of the August Moon. - Look at the character he plays. Sending that girl up to take his Oscar in 71 was nothing but virtue signalling.

Brando is a great and interesting subject, and this is a good, comprehensive look at his life and career. So, it's surprising that the narrator's mispronunciations of virtually every foreign name (aside from the hispanic ones) were not caught and corrected. I mean, how can you possibly get Blanch DuBois and Steven Speilberg's name wrong?

He was against America in Vietnam. He politician Bobby Kennedy and actor Robert Vaughn were a political triumvirate on that subject. See below.
Ho Chi Minh brutally slaughtered landlords in North Vietnam in the 1950's. Ken Burns himself recently showed this of Ho.

Marlon Brandon my favorite actor of all time-. his personality was cool. He didn-t want be more special than anybody and neither make anybody special for any reason. He wants to be himself and let others be themselves. That-s what life is all about. Isn-t it?

I enjoyed this biography BUT you mispronounced practically everyone referenced, many very famous people i. e. Olivier. You are not alone in these errors, many of these documentaries have similar mispronunciations in them which I find odd.

Brando's sisters were beautiful! Brando always looked like an overweight bad little boy looking for trouble. I never liked him very much. I can't see what all of the fuss is about. I thought there were many actors better than Brando.

Brando's portrayal of Fletcher Christian in MUTINY ONTHE BOUNTY was far closer to the fopish Christian than Clark Gable's he-man portrayal in the 1930s. Brando never got enough credit for it.

Everyone has their take on this guy, he was basically a tortured undisciplined and ultra narcissistic man who was an above average actor at best. People glorify him Elvis etc. I don-t get it?

I recommend everyone see the documentary -Listen to me Marlon- throughout his life, he recorded himself talking so the entire thing is from his point of you. It-s a great documentary.

I don't think you should be considered adequately knowledgeable to be doing a bio on Marlon Brando when you can't tell the difference between Tallulah Bankhead and Betty Garrett.

It-s difficult to focus in the autobiographical information when I keep being jolted by the truly awful narration, in particular, the atrocious mispronunciations. It-s painful!

I've never watched a video where the narrator mispronounced so many names. And I'm surprised that many of not all of those names were or should be known to the narrator.

This seems to be an advanced VO bot. It has programming to pick emotional variations but EVERY bloody name is mispronounced. The breathings are bizarre too.

So funny when you hear millennials and zoomers pronouncing names they've only read like -Coppola- and -Olivier. - Otherwise, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

9: 10 - MISPRONUNCIATION - Antigone is pronounced an-ti-guh-nee. I really enjoyed the biography though. It's just a pretty famous play and character.

I love all of Brando-s sixties movies. Despite all of the box failures I find each one of them is a masterpiece of acting.
