MARLON BRANDO INTERVIEW. PART 1

Marlon Brando interview

[@ladygreenlife]

Such a genius! He was more of a philosopher than anything else! He searched for the truth! The most difficult thing to do! Love him!

[@christopheraparicio4482]

How actors don't like this anymore. He was deep and the way he talked about different subjects was very introspective.

[@satans_pet_penguin]

I love when he talks about how we're always looking at the extremes. He's spot on. Every video on youtube transcends in to arguments about who is best and who is worst.

[@Mevdrum]

This aired in October of 1989. I remember watching it at the time. A memorable interview. Funny too.

[@markopolo958]

Interviewer: Don't you realize that youre thought of as the greatest actor ever? Brando: (looks at dog) Tim's the greatest actor ever. He pretends he loves me when he wants something to eat. Get outta here! hahahahahahah classic!!

[@scooterdooter]

One of the most easy-to-listen-to human beings we've ever known. Beside some rather odd editing choices, this interview was classic Marlon: breezy, philosophical, entertaining, challenging, and over way too soon. Sublime, clownish, thoroughly honest.

[@badskroy71]

seriously hes such a brilliant man, he is one of the most interesting offstage personas and i love hearing his thoughts on life...he has such an honest and ethical approach to life.

[@grace777d]

This is a really cool interview. He seemed so candid with no trace of pretention whatsoever!

[@nunnaurbiz8177]

Brando seemed so vulnerable in so many ways, yet hard in so many too. What a duality...I bet it made him crazy sometimes. No matter what....that face was so beautiful...especially the eyes....amazingly expressive man.

[@sthalifax]

Thank you for posting this. Modesty- only the great understand this. A gift like so many others who got tired of being wrapped and unwrapped etc.

[@theflorgeormix]

Like Erroll Flynn, Brando had a Warm Quality, Natural heroic quality, Studied Life always, some of his performances are so good, they cannot be described.

[@williamsproule1186]

8:40 to 9:04, pure gold. '... everybody has their own value in a different way'... Beautiful. The essence of living responsibly and respectfully towards those around you-us. The man is fantastic, what movie star is interviewed in a long in-depth feature and does everything they can to avoid talking about their movies and the glamorous side of their life???

[@CBright7831]

In most interviews, Marlon seems reluctant to talk about his work, but this interview is an exception. Its one of my favorite interviews with him. Marlon Brando - one of the best actors of all time...if not the best actor of all time.

[@oliviatocali]

this is great! greatly appreciate the upload. i love how the interviewer lets him speak. i'm sick of others always interrupting.

[@DankBudwoi]

This guy is a legend

[@Musicmaster1947]

I will die in love with the Art and Beautifulness of Brando!

[@leejee88]

the same reason the people on this post idolize him is the same reason just about every actor on the planet and person whos watch film likes him .Even the chick interviewing him is in awe ."Dont you realize that your thought of as the greatest actor ever ?" ..Brandos response is priceless when he says that his dog is the greatest actor ever.People are so enamored with this guy that he could spill his secret out in the open and they still wont believe it .which he is doing in this interview

[@rozewebb731]

....he is correct ..we are too competitive, to the point of ripping one another apart...BRANDO could READ ppl very well...that's why ppl did and did not like him ....HE WILL ALWAYS BE THE DON..MARLON BRANDO...

[@AMpufnstuf]

He always wanted to be a lot more than The Godfather, and he always will be. He was a highly intelligent, reflective, philosophical, and considerate man.

[@VivianFashion100]

Jesus! This man was sexy, smooth, incredibly talented and spoke at least 4 languages fluently: English, German, French and Tahitian. What was his IQ, 170? I wouldn't be surprised. Brando was the classiest man you could ever meet

[@joemuscat5355]

His best movie last 20 minutes are gold. Thank Marlon you're the best.

[@lutfi1981]

he is a great man with a great thoughts wow. a real genuine human god bless his sould

[@TedExpo1]

Ladies & Gentlemen, the greatest actor of all time.

[@misslu73]

He was , and he is always the best, a real BEAUTIFUL genius !

[@OsvaldoPaese]

very inspiring interview...thanks for posting.

[@KnightFox18]

Brando talks about how everybody Acts and he's 100% right, I've always realized this im only 25. it baffles me how this women, Dick Cavett, Larry King don't understand this and argue with Marlon about this when he brings it up....one of the best actors ever, a pioneer of acting, is telling them what acting is...and they're fucking arguing, and telling him no thats not it....seriously i wish Brando would just bitch smack these people and walk away...

[@WintersWar]

I will always believe he liked to act to some degree, regardless of what he has said over the years. he's stayed in the same profession for several decades for one, and some of his characters are so good, I cant see him doing those roles despising them. connie chung caught him in a good mood, or she had an effect on him to make him at ease, usually he's a tough interview.

[@37Dionysos]

Thanks---Worth the time, esp. 4th part, despite Chung's relentless triviality.

[@TalentedSteven]

marlon brando always turns an interview upside down lol

[@eslubin]

I remember years ago when he was alive he was considered such a kook for his views as they are. They are totally relevant now, he'd be visionary

[@theroilsoil]

8:46 is also very good, and very true . . . especially now in our declining (soon to go over the edge) society.

[@yellowfever8336]

still handsome at 65.

[@tommyreilly3454]

Legend

[@mantletiger]

"i coulda had class! i coulda been a somebody!!" -The Greatest:)

[@leejee88]

well people raise him up to such high regard is because there is no one else like him and because .He represents truth in what ever he did very very few have done this

[@jambenes]

Love the way brondo's interviewing her :)

[@humanentity2214]

"Tim's the greatest actor ever, pretends he love me to get something to eat" --> Brando lovingly smacks dog's bum " get outta here". nice interview. deep thinker

[@esquibelle]

The David Letterman impression @7:20 proves he did not lose his genius until many years later.

[@nouranabdulla2869]

He never loset his genius :D

[@gerrydooley951]

+esquibelle I think Brando did this because at the time Chris Elliott was doing a reoccurring impression of Brando on Dave's show. My guess is that Brando didn't like it

[@johnrunion5357]

+Gerry Dooley i liked elliott prior to his brando impression. who is chris elliott and what has he done that is so great that gives him the right to mock brando???

[@leejee88]

brando equals the truth real talk .everything he did was working towards finding the truth

[@cookie6711]

This silly woman didn't get the David Letterman impression?? Lol, "Dave doesn't do that".... it was an impression!!!! And a brilliant one too. Marvellous Marlon......

[@shanni-leighboobear2471]

I recommend listen to me Marlon for fans also master piece

[@anny96florence57]

agree is a good documentary and interesing ☺

[@CupcakeExplosion]

Regardless of his girth , the man provides some very sound insight. Especially

[@leelee8852]

One of a kind man.

[@Steadno]

real deal dude

[@FlavianaSalvatore]

so modest :)

[@MrImiller07]

My impression is that in the mid 70s, after the success of The Godfather and Last Tango In Paris, Brando essentially lost interest in the creative process and acting in quality projects and decided that he would accept films where he would invest the minimum amount of time for the maximum financial benefit, i.e. Superman, Apocalypse Now, The Formula, etc. In doing so, he squandered his talent, which was so apparent in the Kazan films, Streetcar, Waterfront, Zapata, etc.

[@rubyk445]

Love him ❤

[@yazazan]

A legend.

[@saintjimmy456]

LOL at his letterman thing.

[@JodySeabodyWhirls]

haha "tim's the greatest actor of all time. He pretends to love me when he wants something to eat." nicely done mr. brando

[@HyperGameDev]

Jim Carey sent me here

[@howardhawksmovies1996]

How could Connie Chung win an emmy for this interview? Marlon is very clear that he has no respect for the acting profession yet she persists with her fawning questions. Great to see him when he was happy, before all his troubles with his son Christian.

[@dreamycalm]

u really love brandon ive seen u post on all his videos lol

[@marty051892]

Those were the best faces.

[@SAMMOFIDEL]

natural actor.

[@ahmad201020111]

legend

[@picturesque1835]

@Lytton333 Haha I see your point! But I think on a deeper level he was just referring to how society constantly wears some sort of facade or deceptive visage or mask of the truth to make others believe things about us that they want us to believe. More instinctive, not like ya know, if I'm trying to be mildly polite about an ugly dress I won't say it so that means I'm acting- just how one presents him/herself in certain situations!

[@mathisolivier6426]

Heya. Very Good cobweb moon What's your opinion about that 1!

[@Hassus]

8:24 - Humility: "Don't you realize that you're thought of as the greatest actor ever?" "*name of the dog* is the greatest actor ever.. He pretends he's listening.. wants something to eat.. Get out of here!"

[@DavidLovins67]

Connie Chung was the wrong person to interview Brando. She doesn't get it, and never will.

[@xmauixwowix92]

"Time is the greastes actor ever" lol I remember that dog from the larry king interview

[@EpicF4iLx23]

RIP you will always be the godfather

[@lavkachudes]

During interview in 1973 he've mentioned that it's all about bissines.Now he've changed his mind saying that If would of done it just for the money it would be a waste of time.

[@Joekirby06]

@shainahasnousername who is the autobigoraphy written by please?

[@erock81487]

so is he saying he wasted his life?

[@garyhiggins1931]

Marlon exposes most actor's they think they really are something what a joke. They are no better than a plumber. Marlon rips the whole thing apart that is what you call a free thinker and he has the guts to say what he wants this is why people are drawn to him.

[@TributesAndUnique]

His voice is memorable though

[@eslubin]

@shainahasnousername I'm reading it right now and I agree. He isn't trying to portray himself as right or justify his career decisions. Had he been raised in a remotely functional family he would never have gone into acting. A line of work like that was a waste of his genius

[@moonstarr8053]

Connie Chung does NOT know how to interview him....

[@TedExpo1]

You can tell from this interview that Jack Nicholson took a lot of notes from this guy.

[@CupcakeExplosion]

@CupcakeExplosion especially that everyone has their own value. Best this, best that, so what. We all contribute each in our own way.

[@AnonYmous-tb8dq]

He went to his grave without accepting the fact that all people had a personal life, a public life, happy times to talk about, and bad times that movies gave an escape from. In his constant need to reject both the "show" AND the "business" of Show Business he came across as what he continually complained about; self-centeredness.

[@SuperBigwilk]

She's a bundle of laughs.

[@Howardsternlistener]

I don't believe in such thing as greatest actor of all time or that we could rank them into order they all great in their own way and marlon brando was very interesting individual who had a great sense of life in general

[@lenzorg]

@07:30 "Dave doesn't do that!" "No, but I do it in the mention of his name." strange answer, but obviously true.

[@badskroy71]

seriously, its the same thing with the larry king interview...its like they dont want to comprehend his honest philosophy or what hes really saying, and just play the media's devil advocate.

[@oldhollywoodangels]

I'd still wanna date him, even looking like that, his personality is so beautiful

[@philipabbate5135]

Dead

[@axlrod05]

daaaaamn connie chung is freaking gorgeous here.

[@dreamycalm]

thanks :)

[@Joekirby06]

@shainahasnousername thank you very much :)

[@mpxoxo]

What year is this?

[@Dank951]

Did any of you hear that Paramount wanted to remake The Godfather shortly after his death in 2004? 'Supposedly' as a 'tribute'...THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BIGGEST INSULT EVER! I'm glad Francis Ford Coppola has retained creative rights to the films and blocked and overruled all intentions of any remakes!

[@ViniciusFiocco]

the simply best to him, act is like live...so easy, so simple, it's just act.... BUT IT DOES NOT you know why he said it? because he's the fuck best actor ever the way that he act..

[@dackywamboo]

He is so funny.

[@St4rdog]

Ahaha his Letterman face is UNCANNY - 2:15...

[@Lytton333]

Just because someone doesn't want to hurt somebone's feelings, doesn't make them an 'actor'..

[@ToThoseWhoVanished]

When I get back from the stupid place shitty place I work in, I make sure that I watch a lil bit of B to get closer to reality, to create a distance from the idiots I spend my time with.

[@tljkoap]

At 8:12 i thought she was gonna say "i'm sorry Godfather, please forgive me Don Corleone."

[@theroilsoil]

7:20 was the best! . . . David Letterman as he really is . . . . absolutely priceless! :)

[@capoislamort100]

...is she crazy, of all the funny talented people in the world that she can pick, she picks Dave Letterman----hehehe, ain't that something?

[@gerrydooley951]

+capoislamort100 Letterman had a crush on Chung at that time and was funny about it.

[@lavkachudes]

No the thing is, back then in 73 he was pretty young and the whole movie bissines was the money bissines and he worked like a bee.Now when the life is coming close to the edge he thinks that he did it just to enjoy life?!Thats kinda funny to analize.

[@arkantakaya1339]

he said it all. we 're in the jungle. big small winner loser etc..........

[@jimmypage2138]

yeah right

[@giovanni565]

your to smart for your own gooooood!

[@Danetto]

haha ill try that as my next pickup line "god thats an ugly dress, your really repulsive." damn, now i know why mystery gets all the girls

[@LucLeFou]

@Chris2O09 because his dad was an alcoholic...and he had a lot of anger towards him and that...and he was anti-drug...so food made everything o.k.

[@cellardoor199991]

@shainahasnousername Actually it;s not 100% true. He lied about certain things to protect people's images. Like that Stella Adler, Carlo Fiore, etc,etc.

[@theaustralianidol]

what year was this in?

[@philipabbate5135]

1989

[@Danetto]

@esibrecher yeah. i think i get more girls than mystery too...

[@WorldlyMusi]

DAVID LETTERMAN? how long has he been around for????? haha
