Brando

Before watching this documentary, I thought Brando was a man among men. After watching it, I thought he was the "person" in "people"-it is not unreasonable for Brando to play Superman as his father. He is the closest public figure to Nietzsche’s Superman himself. However, in his time, in the age we are still in today, people are not yet ready to accept a Superman-perhaps we are depraved enough, but not ready to be redeemed. ; Perhaps we have not fallen to the bottom where we can only hope in Superman. In any case, Brando himself has the ability to become Superman, but before the time has come, he becomes the father of Superman-a gentler, more humane, and at the same time more powerful and revolutionary because of his cultivation of Superman. The predecessor of sex.

I can't see any grandstanding element in him. Even if it is sometimes sensational, it is for ridicule. The human characteristics in him are too strong, which prevents him from becoming a professional actor, even though he is blameless in acting and stage performance-he cannot be crafted; although at the same time he cannot be commercialized, Ma Long -Brando is destined to become a legendary superstar-Brando itself, hidden under an unusually dazzling and distinctive label, is a legend. Even with superficial and crude labels, Hollywood cynical youths who support the equal rights of black people and are full of rebellious spirit are enough to be stared at. But he is not the abyss; Marlon Brando, he is a real "person."

There are too few such times. There are too few people of this kind who can remind me of all the good qualities and greatness of being a human being. Although most of our lives will not be so miserable that "I was born to be human, I am sorry", but there is also very few moments of self-consciousness that we can be proud of as human beings-it is true and simple "People" without any other modifiers, not "people in a modern civilized society." In fact, we often mistake the pride that we consciously belong to the latter as the former. If it's just "people", is it worth doing? Without the civilized imprints of money, power, ideas and morals, what is the measure of the "person" we pursue? From the documentary, we can see that Marlon Brando has been thinking about these issues from beginning to end, from his youthful age when he was thriving and smirked the Hollywood industry, to the old age when he was bloated, chaotic, disorderly, and debt-laden... …He is almost innate and naturally pays attention to these issues, and he could have tens of thousands of reasons to stay away from them-he has no higher education, he is an entertained movie star, he is a romantic The playboy, he is rich, he is busy as an actor, a celebrity announcement and entertainment, and outside the schedule, he is busy drinking and racing all over the world, sleeping women... But these flesh and blood have not changed his as a "human." Enthusiasm and potential-as if this potential is deeply buried in his muscles and bones, it cannot be eroded or erased.

To me, he is so cool.
