Marlon is one of the first actors to actually bring a visceral, raw, in the moment, naturalistic way of acting. Being the character instead of acting the character. Being the poetry instead of saying it
This isn’t all together accurate. John Wayne was actually doing that before Brando did. But Wayne limited himself to one character basically for his career. Tarantino has also said this. Now Lee Marvin was a better actor than John Wayne and every bit as good as Brando.
John Wayne played himself, not any character. This is something that he himself said. John Wayne was never a method actor. Brando never played, either himself or even the character. He was the character. source: www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/movies/john-wayne-success-playing-movies-article-1.2649407
@@vperkv6554 no amount of arguments will make you change your opinion, and it would be wise to watch him in his younger years if you are going to criticize him, although it probably won't alter your opinion either. I think with Brando it might be more about the impact that he had on movie acting and for that one would have to compare him with what came before him. Just in case, I don't meant that you are wrong and should like Brando. I only want to mention something that might be worth to take into account.
Only guys that is even close to Brando is Al Pacino and maybe Daniel Day-Lewis if he comes out of retirement and puts together 2 more Oscar worthy performances!!!
Watched a whole load of Brando interviews recently and was surprised to hear how he thought the whole acting profession was overrated. He appeared to dislike how he was held up to be this great actor and placed on this podium of greatness. He recognised everyone having the capacity to be an actor e.g. like sucking up to your boss when you hate their guts or pretending to be interested in someone when you're actually bored with them. Brando was an interesting guy but it's also interesting to see how different other actors views are to his own when it comes to what he considered 'great acting'.
Norton didn't directly compare them but i think Brando resembled Bob Dylan so so much when it came to interviews. Like when everyone was telling Dylan that he was an amazing writer and he just said things like "i just do it cus' i have nothing better to do". It's interesting how many celebrities would do everything they can to romanticize themselves and try to be 'the best' and guys like Dylan and Brando just plainly belittled it all.
Brando's greatest performance to me will always be Marc Antony in Julius Caesar. You've read/heard/seen dozens of actors in that role. But Brando was the only one who actually terrifies me when the line "cry havoc! And let slip the dogs of war." Just the way he slowly built to it and then threatens and then his rage erupts.
@@phalspar it was edited down, so it it was tighter. Also it aired 5 days a week, every week. Anyway, look it up. He had guys like Tarantino and Clooney and Salman Rushdie.
Eddie Van Halen is the most recognizable guitarist of all time. Nobody else holds a torch. Skill wise though, all those legends suck when compared to classically trainee guitarists.
I love how he mentored so many throughout his lifetime. He was an effortless genius, Born to act! I am happy he left a part of his genius to the next generation.
Yeah. They created metal, horror music, and also in some ways goth and but also stoner rock for the riffs. The main idea was simple but amazingly executed:people like horror movies why not horror music? Of course there are horror classical pieces but they did in the instruments and structures of the time.
Seen it. Amazing. But yes..agreed with others...really really sad. I think all his torment and torture experienced made him even more sensitive too. Great man and actor.
I've seen GCJ twice. The first time was in VA when he opened for the Dave Matthew's Band. I recall wondering who this musician was. After his 45 minutes the whole place knew who Gary Clark Jr. is. Thrilled to hear Mr. Rogan mention the greatness that's so evident with every note he makes. Truly a legend in the making in our time.
Brando came from the charming suited gentleman era of acting with guys like Cary Grant and Clarke Gable and dragged acting almost single handily into the gritty real man era that inspired pretty much every big star of the following generation. I don't think there will ever be another human being who changes the art of acting a drastically as he did.
@Dean Bennington It's usually the one with the most influence that has the biggest impact. The fact that you used "many actors" while almost every big star that came after Brando cited him as the reason they became an actor kind of proves my point.
Yeah he should ask him about his close relationship with Harvey Weinstein. Tarantino doesn't look like the type of guy who would've known anything, so it's cool
QT can't talk about anything other than films and Joe Rogen likely has no where near the amount of film knowledge that QT has and likely isn't a big enough film buff to care.
Most of the actors who come from the Actors's studio is thanks to Marlon Brando who's a kind of father from actors like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and even Jack Nicholson, whose dream was working with him, and he did it. I think for any actor to have worked with Marlon is a truly privilege, and that's why Brando is the main referent from Method acting, don't you think?
I think James Cagney was the precursor to Brando. Looked them in the eye and told the truth. Powerful, yet vulnerable. Some people think Kirk Douglas was over the top, Spartacus with a briefcase, but I always liked and believed his characters. Kirk saw a Brando on Broadway before either were famous and was tremendously impressed.
@Natty Fatty Powerlifting I thought it was just me. But Norton wanted to bang Brando and Joe was sounding like it too. If Joe banged Brando's corpse, by default Brendan Schaub would have to get sloppy seconds.
At 6:26 Joe starts talking about what Marlon talks about in his LISTEN TO ME documentary. The actors before Brando.. you could just tell they were acting. My Mother says the same thing about Leonardo Dicaprio. She says every time she watches him.. you can just tell he's TRYING to act. Like DeNiro and Brando.. gotta just be yourself. The method acting taught by Stella Adler.
Agreed 100%. DiCraprio really forces it. Not natural. This was especially evident in Revolutionary Road. Jonah Hill was far more natural in Wolf of Wall St
But that’s the thing you don’t understand your not being yourself at all.method acting is to put oneself aside and allow the character to live through you.
From my perspective Brando was a natural, and that's why he was so great. He seemed to not care. He had a kind if childlike way if becoming the character he was playing.
Norton said something about Brando being not discipline, but a very poetic person. If anyone has seen the 2015 documentary on Brando, Stella Adler, his former mentor, said something about being present and finding the truth in that moment. And I think that had a profound impact on his technique as being infinitesimally grounded in realism and the way we perceive him as an actor today. Maybe that's why he hated being hailed as the 'greatest actor' because to him he wasn't acting, but rather simply presenting the truth to the audience. He forbad his daughter, Cheyenne, from living in the States because he didn't want the environment to disrupt the tranquility in her upbringing. That is poetic, but in 'reality' a child needs their father. Of course, it's incredibly hard to put a number to parenthood and find that sweet spot in the upbringing of a healthy child, but she seemed to have hated him for his absence. I think I'm way over my head so I'm gonna stop right here. This is not meant to judge anyone or tarnish the legacy of Brando. It's just a thought that came to me and I found it interesting how Brando had such an incredible innate ability to see the flaws in other human beings, his characters, and present them in such a sublime, poetic manner that lauded him as an acting god. But he wasn't able to see the flaws in himself and manifest them as a loving father. Maybe his love was authentic and earnest, but it was poetic and not disciplined. And if he tried it any way else, he would be 'acting'
Ed I think when Brando showed his vulnerability it was more powerful Because he presented himself as powerful and masculine but Eventually revealed that vulnerability. He wasn't crying when u first meet his character. He gives u journey to that which makes it much more powerful.
Brando's concentration on being in the moment is apparent, but only in retrospect because he puts YOU in the moment, too, so easily. There's a scene in "On the Waterfront" where he is walking Eva Marie Saint home through a park. She pulls out her gloves and drops one of them. Brando picks it up and instead of giving it back to her when she reaches for it, he keeps it while they're talking, playing with it, putting it on his own hand. Eliza Kazan is partly responsible for Brando's brilliant performances for giving him license to take over a scene. Many other directors might've yelled, "cut!" when Saint dropped that glove. Francis Ford Coppola notoriously used this method of directing to mine a quirky moment in some scenes, and would call for take after take of simple scenes in search of them. Yes, Brando was dynamically influential in cinematic acting; on directors as well.
Marlon Brando adopted children as well. No one includes that fact when talking about how many kids he had. That says a lot about him as a person. It is my opinion between his acting literally changing history, his humanitarian efforts literally changing history, and him standing up to powerful people in the government against injustices, that he is an amazing human being, one to look up to.
From this, we can see that actors are not used to long hours of unrestrained discussions compared to academics or politicians. They are too used to snap, crackle & pop fast interviews. This might be a good time for actors & artists to show off more depth to their fans or audience.
This is why my best friend of the past 13+ years is named Marlon. He's been to 34 states with me in my Jeep, and listening to more Bob Dylan than anything else this whole time.
Brando outlived his method actor contemporaries (James Dean, Monty Clift) and he got bigger-than-life roles. John Garfield, who also had a relatively short life, was an influence on Brando.
John Garfield, another method actor, was an intense movie star before Brando came on the scene. His performance in The Postman Always Rings Twice is powerful in a Brando way. But give credit where it is due, Brando upped the ante, and made the art his own.
I would agree Hendrix is that figure for that transition but Hendrix admitted that what was going on across the pond, of which Clapton was at the forefront, inspired him to keep pushing towards freeing the blues sound from the rigidness of what was going on in the black community here in America at the time. Also the story is that Linda Keith brought Hendrix to the manager Chas Chandler and they wanted to bring him to England and one of his conditions was that he would get to meet Clapton. Chandler took him to a Cream gig and then convinced them to let Jimi jam with them. He then proceeded to blow everyones mind and it took everyone aback because at the time Clapton was considered god on guitar, and here was some random guy turning it up to 11.
Mothblood 77 the story goes Jack and Ginger loved it as they launched into Killing Floor and Clapton left to have a smoke and asked Chas “Is he really that fucking good?”
Marlon Brando is the best actor of all time, and he didn't give two shits what people thought of him. He wouldn't play Hollywood's game. Watch his "LISTEN TO ME" documentary. On the Waterfront is my favorite movie.
When talking about identifiable 'guitar sound' you can talk about Hendrix or Clapton but EVH IMO had the most identifiable guitar tone ever. And as far as #GOATGuitarist you cannot even have the discussion without Jeff Beck in the equation.
also Paco De Lucia for Flamenco guitar.... clear before and after when he played. PAco also in my mind is the greatest guitar player ever! look him up!
Interesting observations by Norton. Dude definitely knows his shit when it comes to movies, he has a pretty captivating way of talking about them. Almost too thoughtful for someone like Rogan, but to Joe's credit, this one time he is letting his guest talk.
Disappointed there’s not more love for Humphrey Bogart. His performance as Sam Spade in Maltese Falcon is nothing short of iconic, 13 years before On the Waterfront came out (also a great flick though). Hope more people my age are able to appreciate these legends since a lot of these films are available in some streaming capacity
I think very highly of Edward Norton, and I don't have any criticisms to make of him. I praise his performances in Primal Fear, American History X, and Down in the Valley, as did Leonard Maltin did in Maltin's 2015 movie guide. At the same time, Meryl Streep was inspired by Robert Deniro, mostly I think because of his performance in Taxi Driver. According to Wikipedia, when Meryl Streep was watching Taxi Driver, she turned and said to her mother " That is the kind of actor I want to be when I grow up."
Brando was the first realistic movie star, all the others that came before were theatrical actors, where they enunciated to the back row .. Brando played to the camera & to the realism of a scene, it seemed. He stood on the shoulders of Bogart & Cagney and made acting a different thing entirely, imo.
I saw a video of Jimi on the Dick Cavett Show and he hinted to his depression and spoke of his nervous breakdowns and how tired and overworked he was. Was really sad to see because the crowd and Cavett would just laugh at his saddness. Would of been so hard
Brando's character wasnt toxicly masculent, he was given power and didnt abuse it. He used it in all the right ways. Yes he benifited naturaly, but he made sure and i think enjoyed helping and seeing others around him benifht as well. His relaxed soft tone of voice with that much power and influence next to his non-chelont vibe....
Rent Streetcar Named Desire. All the other actors are doing stage type acting. Brando is doing what we call acting today. You could argue that it was the most influential role ever since all other actors acted that way after that.
Clapton tells that story about seeing Hendrix for the first time. Hendrix is in a joint playing with every English guitar rock god in the house (Clapton, Townsend, Beck, Page, etc.) and they were ALL knew they were looking at the next level; going "WTF are we gonna do NOW?" Jimi playing with his teeth and behind his back hadn't been seen before.
Marlon is one of the first actors to actually bring a visceral, raw, in the moment, naturalistic way of acting. Being the character instead of acting the character. Being the poetry instead of saying it
Great way of stating it.

his wife put a lock on the fridge to stop him from eating...he broke the lock and ate a brick of cheese. He was a great man

Joe “popped into the membrane of a new existence” Rogan
Brando, Denzel, Penn and Pitt, Norton Nails It!!

Burn and Last Tango are also great performances.
He should have mentioned Montgomery Clift and James Dean. Along with Brando, they were the three founding fathers of method acting.
Marlon Brando is the best actor of all time, and he didn't give two shits what people thought of him. He wouldn't play Hollywood's game. Watch his "LISTEN TO ME" documentary. On the Waterfront is my favorite movie.
Ironically, he had everything - yet was always unhappy.
When talking about identifiable 'guitar sound' you can talk about Hendrix or Clapton but EVH IMO had the most identifiable guitar tone ever. And as far as #GOATGuitarist you cannot even have the discussion without Jeff Beck in the equation.
Edward great actor too
I feel that Cindy Lauper was a revolutionary. She changed the direction of fashion.
also Paco De Lucia for Flamenco guitar.... clear before and after when he played. PAco also in my mind is the greatest guitar player ever! look him up!
Ed Norton doesn’t stop
Props for Joe's praise for Gary Clark Jr. Agree, all day. The man is from another planet.
Jogan hit it with Jimmy Hendrix with the guitar 👏🏻👍🏻
Interesting observations by Norton. Dude definitely knows his shit when it comes to movies, he has a pretty captivating way of talking about them. Almost too thoughtful for someone like Rogan, but to Joe's credit, this one time he is letting his guest talk.
ACT - TING!!!
THANK YOU!
Disappointed there’s not more love for Humphrey Bogart. His performance as Sam Spade in Maltese Falcon is nothing short of iconic, 13 years before On the Waterfront came out (also a great flick though). Hope more people my age are able to appreciate these legends since a lot of these films are available in some streaming capacity
I think very highly of Edward Norton, and I don't have any criticisms to make of him. I praise his performances in Primal Fear, American History X, and Down in the Valley, as did Leonard Maltin did in Maltin's 2015 movie guide. At the same time, Meryl Streep was inspired by Robert Deniro, mostly I think because of his performance in Taxi Driver. According to Wikipedia, when Meryl Streep was watching Taxi Driver, she turned and said to her mother " That is the kind of actor I want to be when I grow up."
If you want to know how good an artist is, listen, read or observe the people that come after them...
Brando was the first realistic movie star, all the others that came before were theatrical actors, where they enunciated to the back row .. Brando played to the camera & to the realism of a scene, it seemed. He stood on the shoulders of Bogart & Cagney and made acting a different thing entirely, imo.
I saw a video of Jimi on the Dick Cavett Show and he hinted to his depression and spoke of his nervous breakdowns and how tired and overworked he was. Was really sad to see because the crowd and Cavett would just laugh at his saddness. Would of been so hard
"Sort of the Elvis thing"
NAILED IT JOE
Wow joe has an Actor on.
Brando, Bob Crane, Cynthia Lynn look into it!
Brando's character wasnt toxicly masculent, he was given power and didnt abuse it. He used it in all the right ways. Yes he benifited naturaly, but he made sure and i think enjoyed helping and seeing others around him benifht as well. His relaxed soft tone of voice with that much power and influence next to his non-chelont vibe....
Edward has a lot of knowledge and insight.
STELLA!
Very interesting !
Rent Streetcar Named Desire. All the other actors are doing stage type acting. Brando is doing what we call acting today. You could argue that it was the most influential role ever since all other actors acted that way after that.
Edward Norton’s acting makes Brad Pitt look like Mickey Mouse 💪
YOU CANT SEE CALIFORNIA WITHOUT MARLON BRANDOS EYESSS
Bruce Banner : just enter the podcast
Joey Diaz and the Brando jokes and now this... 😁
Clapton tells that story about seeing Hendrix for the first time. Hendrix is in a joint playing with every English guitar rock god in the house (Clapton, Townsend, Beck, Page, etc.) and they were ALL knew they were looking at the next level; going "WTF are we gonna do NOW?" Jimi playing with his teeth and behind his back hadn't been seen before.
