As Mr. Brando feared, digital technology quickly became a reality for movies. "Fast and Furious 7"'s screen reproduction of dead actors may mean the end of traditional performances. Reproducible faces and expressions will replace the real emotions under the skin. The evolution of recording and dissemination methods caused by the fragmentation of information has allowed a large amount of meaningless material to break away from the private category and become a daily redundancy that is difficult to filter and distinguish suspended in the cloud.
This may indicate that, with his private recordings, "Malone, Listen to Me", which was combined with the editing team of the pictures, uses a first-person perspective, without any interviews with other characters, and is wrapped in a handcrafted workshop style of the last century. The memory of performance production, stripped of the exclusive audio-visual record with social intentions, may be a documentary of characters that only appears in this era.
It is the charm of the movie to bring the dead to life and to spice time to make them immortal. "Marlon, listen to me" is the resurrection of Brando, relying on the memory of the idol before his death. When "The Godfather" was staged in 1972, people discovered that the unruly young people in "The Wharf" were so old. Marlon Brando's two career rises in his life, as well as the gloominess and anxiety of the years, have built a relaxed and moderate innate structure for this documentary.
The beauty of celebrity documentaries that are not advertised is that people can find a certain correspondence or contrast between his works and his life. In 2015, the same well-received character documentary-the protagonist is also deceased, and the private video has also become a must for narrative and the focus of viewing-"Amy" and "Kot Cobain: Montage of Troubles" both put them on The work is the result of reflection of the emotions of life. Marlon Brando started as a film in 1950. After half a century, he has witnessed almost half of the history of American film from the inception of the method to the advent of New Hollywood.
"Of course the outside world will associate me with the character. They have a hard time believing that I will not eat on the ground or that I will not run barefoot in the street. It is difficult for me to convince the outside world that I am not like this." Stanley Kowalski is nothing like that. I actually hate that kind of person. I hate that character so much that I can’t resonate with him.” Only after hearing this explanation, a star was exposed to a fictional film and television work. The multiple personalities in such occasions as public social interactions and secret family individuals can be restored and displayed.
The fact is not what people think, but the trajectory of life is always linear. The elderly Vito Don Corleone fell into the sunny children’s laughter, becoming a metaphor for the previous generation of filmmakers; "Apocalypse Now" in the light and dark of the humid forest in Vietnam, it is the key to his life. Word: Fear.
Brando has always been an anti-Hollywood rebel, tired of the outdated performances of the golden age in the early stage, numb to the mechanized production model in the middle stage, and unhappy with strong directors in the late stage. The flashy fame and fortune cannot bring him real satisfaction, and a tough attitude cannot conceal the inferiority caused by Brando's family as a child.
The low self-esteem throughout his life is the source of fear. The fear of people losing nature for their own interests, and the fear of people being concealed from reality by virtuality, are, in the final analysis, questioning their own existence. Brando's recordings have more insights than narratives. "Marlon, listen to me" is also his confession to himself. What he expects is not to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors, including his father and his colleagues, but inevitably, he will be unable to retreat in the whirlpool rapids. The aborigines gave him a speech on the stage to receive the award, just as Tahiti has become Brando's spiritual sustenance, only by returning to nature and nothingness can the disordered order be clarified.
"You hear the singing of the Tahitians, the laughter coming from a distance. The sun just set, a star appeared, the first star in the night sky, peace and love. I looked endless, beyond words. At night, I thought to myself: "God, I am not important at all, no matter what I do or don't do, or what anyone does, nothing is more important than the sand under me.""
In an empty room , The virtual avatar on the screen is talking, and the discarded audio tape is packaged. This is the only scene outside of the historical data in the film. Just as film will fade, and digital technology will replicate you and me, "Ma Long, Listen to Me" looks at the final legacy before exiting.
