[@MarlonBrando414]

method acting vs classical stage acting, the whole film feels like an acting duel between these two, Vivian won the battle as she won the oscar but lost the war as method acting became all the rage and I think took over classical stage acting in films.

[@musajaved9862]

I'm not sure it was a battle between two forms of acting. Both performances are closely based on the characters which they lift from the pages of the play. Brando's adherence to a more natural approach reflects the brute-like mentality which characterises Stanley Kowalski. Whereas, Leigh's delivery and mannerisms are an attempt to display the air of a showman Dubois carries with her. It's ludicrous that Brando didn't win the Oscar but both are phenomenal in their portrayals mirroring the sacred battle between the Old and New South.

MADE MY CAT MAKE THE SAME SOUND 💦💦💦🫦

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

In this first meeting, notice how he asks her questions, then minimises the answers. “It’s a little outta my territory!” “Lot of people don’t touch the drink but it touches them!” He’s actually very cunning, but hiding it behind a mask of obfuscating stupidity. He senses she’s trouble, and she’s hiding something. He lets her check his physique to see if she’s “loose” by the standard of the time of course And the cat shriek he lets out, in some ways is indicative of his cruel nature - we see a lot of that later - but also him testing her nerves. She’s incredibly highly strung. Something he used against her later In no way praise of Stanley’s character, rather a case of brilliant writing from Tennessee Williams and acting from Brando. Bullies can be both physically imposing and psychologically controlling. They’re well aware of what they’re doing & know how to push peoples buttons. Later in the film we see how Stella never gets a fixed “allowance” from Stanley, so that he can control where and when she goes out, if at all His friends are quieter and mild-mannered. He uses just the right amount of swag and control (even something like keeping their voices down or turning off the radio) to keep them in line Sure the movie is probably very slow by today’s standards but it still is a masterclass of writing and drama

I can also understand why some critics and filmgoers didn't like Brando in this movie. He does tend to mumble his dialogue when he was talking to Blanche. It was hard to understand him at times when he spoke and it did take away from his performance as Stanley.

[@ikshields]

@@michaelverbakel7632- Absolutely not. It SUPERCHARGED the performance. Right from the get-go, the audience is on edge, behind him a step, catching fragments, and he knows it. The more accidental it all feels, the more he’s got us. This isn’t a diction exercise or a script demonstration, this is a living, unpredictable, dangerous happening.

He met her during the shooting of a movie in Tahiti where she played a leading role opposite him...she was naive and down to earth and living in Tahiti, not interested in Hollywood and therefore, not interested in Marlon Brandon...which of course made him want her all the more, as he was used to having any woman he wanted. After many months of trying, she at last succumed to his advances, falling pregnant at the same time. He immediately insisted on her having an abortion...she refused and left to go back to her family in Tahiti. He followed her, married her and brought her and their child back to the island he bought...but as the ultimate punishment for 'falling pregnant' and refusing an abortion, he NEVER AGAIN SHARED A BED WITH HER....living in her own house next to his on the island. That is just cruel beyond comprehension. He was a total sociopath.

[@alvinjohnchandra2509]

Marlon Brando acting like hes in a 80s movie, Vivien Leigh acting like she's a 1940s movie. Then again Leigh takes the Oscar.

[@Chapin-pc2kz]

That's because Best Actor is the most difficult category to get into and win, especially if you're under thirty. Many women in their twenties have won for Best Actress, but only one twentysomething man (Adrien Brody in _The Pianist)_ has ever won for Best Actor. And that was fairly recently.

[@angienoexiste]

is that supposed to undermine her work in this film ? she was incredible and if anything that clash of acting methods betwen them only served to further empathize the disconnection between their characters, and in Leigh’s case, to add dramatism and quirkness to an already dramatic and over the top character, she couldn’t have conveyed Blanche better and her oscar was very well deserved.

[@harpreetsjhutty]

Part of that has to do with him competing with Montgomery Clift, and the other part has to do with an interview he did where he said he was going to send a taxi driver to collect his oscar had he won.

[@Yidspurs]

I don’t think Brando was competing with Clift it was the other way around 😊

Notice his body language and unrestrained movement , other actors tip toe around a tea shop, Marlon is a tiger crashing down a mountain: unpredictable yet rhythmic , chaotic yet directional , vulnerable yet fierce , careless yet coordinated, arrogant yet selfless , sensitive yet base, there never was a more righteous scoundrel than that impossible man.

They awarded Breaking Bad long before the general public caught on and now Breaking Bad is the highest standard for television.
