1986 was just a good year for Hopper in general. He did Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Hoosiers, which got him an Academy Award nomination and Blue Velvet, which really helped cement he was back. In retrospect, his Academy Award nomination should have been for Blue Velvet and he should have won the Oscar, though that performance was pretty dark to be nominated that time as the films acknowledged in the 80s for film awards were more light hearted compared to the 70s.

Agreed with you again. In addition to his dedication to social causes, I read about Brando was a real friend--not fair weather--to many people such as Maureen Stapleton. Brando's penchant for speaking his mind, unwillingness to compromise and please may cause him troubles because he could easily make enemies. Brando was the victim of his own fame, which has attracted unethical writers writing his biographies, filled with inaccuracies, speculations and lies. He really doesn't deserves these.

Brando was an acting genuis. Elia Kazan, the oscar winning director, claimed in his lifetime the only acting genuis he had ever encountered was Brando. Kazan himself was a good actor. People who criticize his private life don't even know him. I have never believed that he didn't treat his daughter well or any of maliceous speculations. I always believe Brando was a nice person based on his support of powerless peoples. Brando's sensitivity certainly reflected his soul.

Wow, in retrospect these Bob Costas shows were such treasures. No late night shows except Tavis Smiley have adult, in-depth discussions with their guests the way Costas does, and Tavis isn't as good at it.

Thanks. One thing the haters can't deny - he actually went way out of his way to help someone other than himself: Native Americans. He had no dog in that fight, but he tried to help them in his own, grandiose way. How many people have the courage to do that? And how rare is that? He tried to be a good man, at least once in his life, and that's more than most people. Compare that to just about any other major Hollywood star - they just take the money and run.

That's a great moment at the very end when Coppola's trying to explain to Dennis what the scene's about and he keeps interrupting him. Coppola gets so frustrated - "We'll I'd tell you but you don't let me talk for more than a fucking second!" Classic manic Hopper.

In my humble opinion ...just what I know...Dennis Hopper is being very gracious here...Hopper is a slight weirdo but actually he is very underrated as an actor...on the other hand....... Brando is / was an ass. Hopper just very slightly touched on that..........and was very non judgmental. That's a very classy move. Props to Dennis Hopper!!!!!! I like that guy.
@jennifersman79905 жыл бұрын
Sharkbiteleft Yes, but Hopper could be just as bad , if not worse, than Brando. He had an auteur complex about himself as a director and it cost him a career that he only regained after he sobered up

Part of what made Brando so great is the fact he didnt really prepare for the roles he played.. he showed up to the set.. got the idea of what was going on in the movie.. saw the situation first hand then started to think about what he was going to do..... and to be fair what he did and said in the movie was perfect. Couldnt have done it better.

After bankrupting a studio, Hollywood did it’s best to erase Michael Cimimo and his films. That said, The Deer Hunter is still remembered, at least for the Russian roulette scene. As far as Apocalypse, the critics couldn’t wait to tear Coppola down after his early ‘70s success and the film’s long gestation. After that died down, Apocalypse has become an all-time classic.

Other than the fact that I never got speared or took acid during a battle at night or bumped into some playboy bunnies it was astonishingly nothing like the movie at all lol.
