It always annoys me when people try to jive off childish, difficult, misanthropic behavior as “genius”, etc. Dude…this is WORK. There are dozens of people on location with you who are just regular joes trying to feed their goofy families. As awful as the script might’ve been, some shmuck spent untold hours adapting it. Have some respect for the people around you, man. I think that's also the reason why "method acting" annoys me so much. Stop it…thousands of actors have put on genius performances without having to play dress up, costume party, adult playtime. "But I *AM* Andy Kaufman!" 😣
Wow your so mad lol, Brando had this representation his daughter killed herself , his son was in prison for murder during this time , I don’t think he took this seriously
@@steviedub9370 It’s tragic what Brando went through. But if you’re not up to the task don’t take the role. Someone else will step in willing to put the work in.
Actually the production on Man on the Moon was not problematic per se, at least not for the crew. This movie was on a completely different level, also it was reportedly Val Kilmer who treated people on set worse than Brando. Not to excuse Brando of his selfish behavior of course.
He actually hated acting. He only did it for the money, and never hid that fact. Kinda sad really, since he was an accomplished actor, and certainly in The Godfather, made the role his own.
Why it's so shocking and sad? Acting was his job. Nothing else. Do you love your job? I don't but I have bills to pay. I do my thing and go home. Acting is just another job.
@@stevemuzak8526There's not liking your job, and being a multi-millionaire acting like a jackass. If he acted like that working at a Wendy's, he'd be fired before he could even put it on his resume.
I've watched that movie several times. It's one of my favourites. Thank God I didn't read the reviews before I saw it for the first time. Maybe I never would have watched it. Brando was absolutely stunning throughout. His combination of aristocratic and batshit crazy was a performance for the ages. And the ice hat was one of the many quirky things I loved about that movie.
Brando's behavior reminds me of my dad, at times. Underneath the outrageousness there's a sensible person, but if he's in a mood everything's gonna be out of left field. Brando was being an ass though, yeah he was trolling some head-honchos, but what about allllll the other workers involved in the production, consider them, be professional for them. "Let's take 6 to 8 weeks to do rewrites." COME on now.
You must be joking. The film is all kinds of bad all over the place, but he's a fucking joke in this. I lost a lot of respect for him the way he behaved. Kilmer wasn't any better. Completely self-absorbed and disrespectful to everyone involved. Balk was coming off sleeper hit The Craft coming into this and was lucky she got American History X afterwards, but her career could have ended right here with this disaster. This was Thewlis' only shot as a lead in a major Hollywood film, and that ship sailed with this turkey. Brando may not have given a shit about the film, but he was already a rich, famous man with his career behind him, and this wasn't the case with Balk and Thewlis. He was an unprofessional arse.
On the one hand you have to respect that Brando knew full well what type of film he was making; complete shit--- and treated it accordingly. But, on the other hand, I don't understand why anyone would want to hire at this point in his career - he was a has-been self-serving hack by this point, far remove from whatever glory he once possessed. From what I understand he was never truly a "professional" when it came to his craft.
He did that movie with Johnny Depp late in his career though and told Depp he only had so many faces in his pocket so that's the thing with him he wasn't versatile but took some roles just for money obviously. Chris Reeves complained about him on the Superman set too but really to Marlon that was just a stupid kids movie too to Chris it was his whole career.
@@annalisavajda252 its strange because marlon did actually have a tonne of range - look at godfather and last tango; two films from the same year, hes completely unrecognisable in either of them. The dude did everything from mob films to theatre to shakespeare musicals comedies but at this point of his career he was just unbothered and couldnt give a shit about acting.
LOL i love it!! He didn't care. You know how much work Brando put down, disrespect earned, yet activated for human rights. Man, he earn his right to not give a fuck.
He was a dickhead. Imagine how he'd have felt as a young actor if some big has-been don't-give-a-fuck star had sabotaged a picture he was hoping would be a success. That requires the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes, a bit of empathy. Nah, it was all about him. Someone should have said "fuck it with this guy" and slapped that stupid hat off his swelled head.
Something happened to Brando, especially in his later years. He had always been known as a brilliant actor, who could be difficult to work with -- Francis Ford Coppola had to fight hard to get him for "The Godfather" because of his reputation -- but he became just totally and completely unprofessional in his later years. He couldn't be bothered to learn his lines and directors had to position cue cards strategically around the set for him to read, and he dialed the "difficult to work with" aspect of his personality up to eleven. His behavior on the set of "The Score" in 2001 was positively childish. I lost a lot of respect for Brando as an actor because of such behavior. Apparently I am not the only one. In one interview, Christopher Reeve criticized Brando pretty bluntly, for essentially just phoning his performance in. It really is a pity. Such a great talent, you'd like him to be an honorable, professional actor and a decent human being as well, but Brando lets you down in that respect.
Not surprising. The worst part of Apocalypse Now is the scenes with Colonel Kurtz. The first 3/4 of the film is a masterpiece - the last 1/4, not so much.

2:49 He just wanted an excuse to keep wearing the icecube hat. 😂

Val Kilmer was way worse on that set then Marlon Brando.
@@stevemuzak8526
I think it’s safe to say that Val Kilmer is worse than Brando in pretty much every conceivable way lol
Given the fact that he had recently lost his daughter to a drug overdose, he was probably not in the right frame of mind.
I actually didn't know this... Makes sense.
@@frasercliff9417 He's been difficult long before that ever happened..
@@FervAnimalLover let's put it this way; i don't think it helped
She shot herself
More like "totally gonzo!"
he was trolling them so hard.
I think so 😂😂😂
"trolling" Ruining them is another way to describe it.
The dolphin reveal would've been genius
I would've paid good money for that
That depends if it was meant to be a dark satirical thing or a badly done thing...could have had either impact, who knows.
"If I could swim with the dolphins" 🎶
When I realized that Balk was such a great actor since she could hold her own in a crazy scene where she has to deal with the Brando lunatic.
He actually hated acting. He only did it for the money, and never hid that fact. Kinda sad really, since he was an accomplished actor, and certainly in The Godfather, made the role his own.

I could watch the cast and crew do impressions of Brando for a hour and half lol

lol, it's fucking awful beyond endurance.
2:48 M. Night Shyamalan: Quick! Someone get me a pencil and paper!! STAT!!!
I think Brando lost himself during the filming of Apocalypse Now.
no, he was making a fool of the whole production. i think he hated Hollywood. He used his firsr oscar as a doorstop!
he was lost before that, but coppola used that succesfully
@@Uprising771Hollywood is cursed anyway
wow!! Marlon Brando indeed was a genius...

a masterpiece by the master brando. the play is the thing. not the noun but the verb
Whats crazy is he is far and away the best part of the movie. So weird so fascinating

I think Kurtz was working on the dolphin scene when Martin sheen took him down
He already cemented his legacy & was the best actor ever . He knew this movie was a pos & he just wanted to be goofy he obviously didn’t care.
She is so beautiful
I clapped
Based Brando
In an alternative reality there was this gothic masterpiece from Richard Stanley without Marlon Brando and without Val Kilmer. I wish it was true.
"The Island of Doctor Moreau - Directed by Richard Stanley, starring Jürgen Prochnow, Bruce Willis, James Woods, and Fairuza Balk."
Starring Jürgen Prochnow and Asia Argento, at least, that's the cast that I knew of.@@fernhausluv44
One of the reasons why I love this disasterpiece so much is how batshit Brando is.

Marlon Brando: the script makes no sense.
Also Marlon Brando: I didn't read the script.
Well which is it, man?! Lmao.
LOL i love it!! He didn't care. You know how much work Brando put down, disrespect earned, yet activated for human rights. Man, he earn his right to not give a fuck.

Someone should have said "fuck it with this guy" and slapped that stupid hat off his swelled head.
Why didnt they fire brando? Actors get fired all the time
Fire Brando? No way!
He was the only person who could have saved the movie
You can't fire Marlon Brando, Brando fires you!
and he was amazing.
Er, no.

Marlon's ideas were genius. Between him and Val's committed performance, they were easily the best parts of this dumpster fire.
committed performances pmsl they wanted to ruin the film hence wuy there acting was fucking terrible
Not surprising. The worst part of Apocalypse Now is the scenes with Colonel Kurtz. The first 3/4 of the film is a masterpiece - the last 1/4, not so much.
LMAOOOO
The dolphin idea is not that far fetched .. its actuality an interesting twist..
Marlon Brando was pissed off with the director and Val Kilmer.
Fairuza looking feral now
Wdu mean? I just saw a 2022 interview segment and she seemed pretty level-headed?
God's insentient
If they had listened to brando it would have been a great movie. But they sticked to their crapy script.
