"On The Waterfront"
"A Streetcar Named Desire" (A Streetcar Named Desire)
The Godfather
"Last Tango In Paris" (Last Tango In Paris)
These old movies that are famous in the history of shadows were all watched during college in the 1990s. I don’t know where I have read it, "When you are young, don’t meet people who are too amazing." I saw this documentary and thought of this sentence, and I was really full of emotions. I saw these movies at that time, but I didn’t actually understand them. I only knew that they were good things. I watched them wholeheartedly, but I didn’t realize the real benefits. . Although I don't understand, these fine works stored in memory must also secretly affect me in my later life, in a way and to a degree that I don't know.
For example, in "A Streetcar Named Desire", the two leading actors, Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando, were mentally affected to varying degrees after the filming, so that they had to seek psychological counseling, which shows how dedicated the performance is. At that time, I was accustomed to watching romantic comedy movies such as "Pretty Girl in the Wind". When I saw "A Streetcar Named Desire", I was only shocked. Human nature can be so ugly, and the movie can expose this so straightforwardly and ruthlessly. This kind of ugliness, "Before, inner torture was rarely expressed in such a sensitive and clear way on the screen." In depth, this should be a middle-aged movie. And seeing "A Streetcar Named Desire" when I was young, it must have had an impact on some future decision, but I didn't realize it.
Vivien Leigh won the second Oscar for Best Actress with "A Streetcar Named Desire", and the young Marlon Brando was nominated for the Oscar for the first time. The comment at the time said, "... he gave Stanley a cruel and cold youth character, not a vicious old man... Brando's lines showed new value, and it was the best I have heard so far. "And Marlon Brando's response in the documentary "Listen to Me, Marlon" was, "I'm not Stanley, I hate him."
"Listen to me, Marlon" is the real voice of Brando himself. It comes from hundreds of hours of tapes recorded during his lifetime. There are life, business, hypnotized words, and psychology. There are recordings of treatments, as well as records of news interviews.
The documentary tells about Brando’s childhood and how his parents influenced his life; his children have various problems; his views on movies; the black civil rights movement and the aboriginal rights movement he participated in Wait. It shows a colorful and bumpy life of Marlon Brando that is more dramatic than the movie, which is unique.
Marlon Brando was the first person to bring natural law performance into the film, and he helped promote the performance method of the Stanislavs system. In this documentary, he criticized his older performance methods: "There was a standard performance style in the 1930s and 1940s. Before you arrive at the cinema, you know how they will perform. Gary Cooper brand oatmeal, Bogart Brand oatmeal, Clark Gable sliced crispy fruit rolls... They are like cereals, without creativity, each one is exactly the same." The corresponding lens is Clark Gable staring at her with the same expression and the same angle of bowing. Actress in. The documentary even quoted the last scene of "Gone with the Wind", Marlon Brando said harshly: "When a man walks to the door without looking back, you know he will say-Frankly, my dear, I don' t give a damn. "I really like this kind of "artists are lighter". Only people like Brando who have reached a certain height dare to despise the classics, and only by constantly overthrowing the classics can the film industry make progress.
Listen carefully, Marlon Brando's words and sentences are not the same as ordinary people's speech. It may be his drama training, or it may be related to his old age. The documentary started with a poem he read about the shortness and emptiness of life:
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
creeps in this petty from day to day
to the last syllable of recorded time
and all our yesterdays
have lighted fools the way to dusty death
Out, out, brief candle
Life's but a walking shadow
a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage
and then is heard no more
It is a tale told by an idiot
full of sound and fury, signifying
nothing
Marlon Brando describes when he first arrived in New York, "the socks are full of holes, and the mind is full of holes": I arrived in New York with holes in my socks and holes in my mind.
Describe the charm of film art in his own words: And the reason they don't have light in the theater is because you are there with your fantasy. The person up on the screen is doing all the things that you want to do. They 're kissing a woman you want to kiss. Hitting the people you want to hit. Being brave in a way you want to be brave. 【It's pitch black in the theater, because you are with your fantasies. The people on the screen are doing everything you want. They kiss the woman you want to kiss, they beat the person you want to beat, they act bravely in the way you expect. 】
