His screen image.
Well, that's it. I always like characters in dreams and illusions more than everything in reality.
In the real world, I can hardly find any people or things that excite me. My sister is the opposite of me. She is enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing. She has been the protagonist of the party since she was a child. She is always surrounded by a group of beautiful men and women. She is born with reality and is only interested in reality.
She can always find fun in the real world, whether in the bus or in the restaurant, on the street, in the hospital, as long as there are people, she will always find a beautiful boy, and then watch him enthusiastically and unabashedly. Even trying to get close, she always actively pursues what she wants, money, clothes, and men, and she is fearless. Although she sometimes runs into a wall, in most cases, she will get at least one date.
The strange thing is that I have lived so old. Apart from the feeling of love for that junior high school boy, I have never felt that a man is fascinated by me, let alone on the street. I have never found any beautiful man to make me. Staring for five full minutes, maybe I was blind.
What I like, and what I like forever are those in the illusion, because I know that those people are false, so they are perfect, there will be no flaws, will not cause me harm, and everything in reality is true, but It is imperfect after all, and I am a perfect perfectionist. So I would rather like those dream worlds and phantoms than actual things. I am an escapist, a person who indulges in dreams all day long.
I don’t know what other male actors are like him, who have a truly powerful yet gentle and delicate feeling. What kind of beautiful men are those so-called electric eyes, and a bunch of guys who only yell on the screen. Hollow and false, without texture. The charm of Marlon Brando lies in his sense of reality. He has created an extremely impactful sense of reality on the illusory screen. No one has acted like this in the past, and even the Soviet actors did not act like Stanney. His excellence lies in the integration of that theoretical system with his own characteristics, instead of becoming a slave to the theory, but maintaining his own nature. To him, acting is life, not skill, and he is a born actor. He is a powerful man, but sometimes he is selfish and even mischievous. There is a kind of fragility behind his strength, tenderness in the wild, and he cannot be judged by the principle of good or bad at all. He is a real one. The image, the real person, at least he has shortcomings, it is not a cold moral symbol. This kind of symbol is normal in Chinese culture, so that until now, people keep copying the so-called pure man, almost morbidly shaping a kind of symbol. The non-human character seems to be perfect.
In the United States after World War II, people were tired of Wayne idols, hoping for a real, not-perfect, but still-masculine actor to appear, and Brando was born at the right time. He does have a rebellious and violent side, but it is expressed in a delicate and calm form. His performance is a perfect combination of this explosive power and convergence. Just like what he said, you must not be in Expressing 100% passion on the screen will be very false, because the image itself has the function of magnification, so it is better to converge emotions in front of the camera than to burst out. This sense of precision is where the actor's skill lies. He did so well that no one can surpass it.
In this typical Hollywood music and dance film of the 1950s, he plays a blocker, the most handsome blocker in movie history. He has this fascinating ability to act bad guys. It was so cool that it captured the heart of the Christian Salvation Army. His masculine charm is undoubtedly shown in this film, especially when he sings with Jane Simmons indoors-she is the only female opponent besides Fei Wenli who can be equal to him on the screen, and his performance is extremely tempting. , Especially his last kiss.
I recently watched three of his early movies, and I think his kissing style is very breathtaking. Without asking the other party's opinion at all, he kissed suddenly, and then slowly became gentle. All the heroines seemed to have been enchanted, lost their souls, and fell asleep. Of course, this kind of powerful expression is in the belief that a woman has been tempted, and his instinct tells him that he can do so. This kind of involuntary conquest, I think every woman likes it in her heart, and the expression of love should be like this in men, because for men, loving a woman is conquering. The reason why Brando deeply attracted the audience with his unscrupulous image in the 1950s is that he completely opened up perhaps the most hidden place in human nature. For women’s psychology, the kind of actual desire to be dominated and The desire to conquer understands very clearly that every woman is educated to become a lady, and in essence, a woman is still a woman, no matter what the era. The incarnation of desire is really appropriate for him. He is desire, the deepest desire that people dare not admit. I think he basically understood human nature correctly.
The most exciting is the scene where he bet against other gamblers in the basement. He was so handsome when he dealt the cards! Every action is precise and cannot be questioned. There is a posture of dominating everything. I don't know who else can play a villain so beautifully, so handsomely, and so imposingly. He exudes a complex personality of evil and justice, introverted and violent, stubborn and humorous, and many contradictions, and his face is such an unspeakable attraction, but his nose is not good and young. At that time, he was almost like a Roman statue, masculine and fit, arrogant and tall, but underneath it was irresistible sexy.
I think all women will fall for him, both in the past and in the future, because he is a unique and true idol in a false fantasy.
I put the first introductory article here, hoping that more people will see Marlon Brando forever.
