This is a gem. I find all of Brando’s interviews fascinating but he’s usually battling the corporate interests that plagued him through his life. This is by far the best I’ve heard, thank you for putting it out there. He was really allowed the time and freedom to respond in his own way here. I would direct anyone who is interested to his autobiography which is also very good - songs my mother taught me. A great actor, yes, but much more than this. He had the courage to stand alone in some sense, which seems so rare.
So true he had the courage to stand alone
DEFINITELY! he was the BEST actor 😱 soo GORGEOUS 😍🔥🥵 and he stood up for things in the world that we're WAY ahead of his time 👏 which is really neat I think he was doing God's work and he didn't have an EASY life either unfortunately 😥 but I believe he DID try his best to help others DESPITE all of this after all he DID say he was ALWAYS for the underdog 😁 we 💖 and miss you Marlon! 😥😭
Well,well
@@angelica6560 oh,yeah!??????😀 take care girlly,girl
Just makes me cry, for his sensitivity. A prophet! Xxxsusan 😷🤯🤞👊🎭💚⚖🙏🏼
Take away Tik Tok, Instagram and the mindless forms of immediate expression our culture and technology promotes - and there is room to actually think. We are stunned with the quality of this interview in part because of the contrast to the crass mediocrity of our time and culture. Brando is brilliant and this interview a treasure.
Many of us grew up reading as our primary form of learning , past, present, important speeches, political, military matters, social issues, psychology, geology and even the news. Reading slows the brain down where it absorbs at its best rate, and we may even re-read parts over. I did. Fahrenheit 451 has happened , but the books haven't been burned yet. In another few decades or century will people read ? I agree with you.. these hi-speed apps are dangerous for the young mind and older mind.. it dumbs people down. I pray for the future and hope that these important videos , great philosophy and historical meaning get watched by younger minds. Im grateful the internet lets me learn and re-read. Brando was really prophetic. Thank you for posting this interview.
He called out the demise of our country due to celebrity culture 65 years ago.
I lost it when I stumbled across this. Massive Marlon fan and I've watched all his interviews multiple times. Not to mention, the incredible documentary on him, Listen to Me Marlon...which I'd highly recommend to anyone who hasn't seen it. This interview is an absolute treasure.
There are more unpublished interviews, including one with Larry King, among others
Can you go into more detail which unpublished interviews you mean? Would be very interesting to know
Marlon Brando is one of the brilliant minds I have ever heard!!! His words are prophetic to this very day.
Very much so.
Absolutely! Amazingly so!!! What a mind!!!
Thanks for uploading this gem of a moment in time, it's 1963 and the changes that are on the horizon have yet to happen.....
As.long as Hollywood exsist and white puppet politics exist it will never change..
two amazing humans: Studs and Brando .... WELL DONE / GREAT UPLOAD!!
What a treasure. I am always happy for new Marlon material. This one is extraordinary delicate!
This is Gold!
@@Redemption7825 definitely! 😁 it's SOO fascinating! 😳 Marlon was SUCH a fascinating beautiful man! 😏
they did God's work showing this interview with Marlon 😳🔥😏 he was SUCH a mesmerizing fascinating and GORGEOUS guy! 😍😱🥵
Have this interview at my mobile,whenever I travel long haul, or have spare time I always listen it. He is so deep, smart, wonderful human being, decades ahead his time. Love his interviews. Thank you for uploading.
Great idea to have it on your mobile. I have it on my mobile as well, and have listened to it when I’m in the kitchen cooking. The debt and complexity of his thoughts are remarkable. How prophetic some of his discourse was in this interview back in 63.
Hi five…I did the same as well. It’s a rare interview what i mean by that is that, he opens up like never seen or heard before.
Marlon Brando is one of the most fascinating individuals, in my opinion. What a truly gifted mind this man had. Absolutely brilliant.
the most interesting man of the 20th century in my opinion
He is right. All tecnologies created by men are apply to his evil part, like we are using this, and its used very often for evil. He has a very good point
I absolutely agree with you.
@@kurtay3232Michael jackson *
Fame was awful for him. He'd have been happier being a psychologist or sociologist and a theater local actor.
I love Marlon and his brilliant mind ! Most wonderful human being . This interview is a must .
I am greatful to this guy who posted this interview,this felt more like todays podcast convo than an interview actually. 👍👌
It's the most genuine, honest and fascinating interview I have ever listened to with Marlon Brando. Thank you.
This is unbelievable, had no idea there was an interview like this around. A real gift for fans of the man.
Marlon Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony, a Hell's Angel in THE WILD ONE. Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, a Japanese man in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.
Don't forget his great work from the 60s. Mutiny on the bounty, Ugly american, Reflections in a golden eye, and burn in which he did his best acting according brando himself.
Very interesting conversation. He was a very intelligent man. He’s clearly studied about so many different causes and historic events; no wonder he’s so deep. Thanks for sharing.
You can't apply any cliche to him. He just is outstanding. So much to learn from a man who didn't value money fame loved nature loved his individuality. Loved...
I agree
🙏🏻🙏🏽🙏 A profound and beautiful mind.
He was a tortured soul bedeviled by his supersensitivity.
Thank you for this upload..priceless. looking for future Brando interviews
There will never be another Marlon Brando, the most gorgeous guy I've ever seen.🙏💔
I didn't know that Marlon Brando was such an interesting, astute and insightful philosopher.
He's very insightful. People can only be enlightened by knowing themselves. But its difficult because it requires slowing down and being quiet of mind, and people cant generally do that.
Very good unintentional ASMR & the story itself is very fascinating cause the times & because it’s BRANDO …
Thank you so much for this! Always look forward to new Marlon Brando material.
He is absolutely marvelous thinker and philosopher, I am in love with his raw honesty, his depth and his courage to speak on topics that were taboo., and at a time where it was very unpopular to do so. Today we know any entertainment industry individual who speaks about politics or social issues becomes a target of the media, the general public and anyone and everyone., they risk losing everything and never getting any employment opportunities. Marlon was a man with many vices, many of whom originated from his early childhood trauma and neglect. As I read his biography I sense he didn’t take anything seriously and especially not his acting career, which made many people get angry at him, because they took their acting careers very seriously and with a great deal of superiority and arrogance, to Marlon acting was a means of making a living and not the entirety of his existence. That’s why he put buckets on his head, pranked and made jokes and continued to clown around the sets because he realized life goes by and his life was about being an actor alone..!
Brando was not (only) an actor..but a great philosopher hiding behind an actor costume...to reach to our consciousness
other way around.
Brando recorded hundreds of hours of him doing spoken self meditation and reflection, I really wish and hope those will be publicly available one day soon
He once said of Burt Reynolds " That He Worships at the Temple of His Own Narcissism " ! 🤯
HIS INTELIGENT,INTELCT IT'S MIND BLOWING.....THAT'S HOW HE NEVER LIKED TO TALAK ABOUT ACTING....HE'S ABOVE ACTING AND HOLLYWOOD IN WHOLE....RIP BEAUTIFUL PHILOSOPHER.
Thank you. I loved this interview/talk. Harry Dean Stanton (fellow actor) had a similar beliefs & they had long talks on the phone the last 3 years of Brando’s life. HDS’s last film was entitled “Lucky,” was autobiographical & about enlightenment, but many westerners know nothing about enlightenment. These men traveled widely & were exposed to much more culture than most in the US or whole North America. These actors both hated small talk & really wanted to stay in the present moment. One of Harry’s quotes in his movie, “Small talk is worse than awkward silence.”
Sometimes i get disillusioned listening to Marlon talking, Then i would watch streetcar, Waterfront, Godfather, Last Tango and then i am taken away to another place, That no other actor has brought us to, With Brando America could look Europe in the Eye in terms of art, An extraordinary talent..
This is the best interview I have ever listened to. I wish more like this was available. It would be great to have interviews like this of all people. We are all better people when we dive deeper
visit the Studs Terkel Archives. there are many , hundreds in fact. Brilliant interviews with Oliver Sacks MLK, Zero Mostel, political figures, performers, anyone who was anyone, the most prepared and provacative interviewer of all time.
Poem, Mathew Arnold: Dover Beach, one of the best poems ever written...Good taste, Marlon.
Brando fascinates me, i read his autobiography, watched most of his movies, basically a high school drop out, but such a mind, such a philosopher, his view of the world and society and so many subjects on human nature are mind blowing. Genius.
He wasn't meant to be famous. An actor maybe. Sometimes. He would have preferred being an analyst or some other occupation.

Marlon was his own man. So insecure ignorant people will always take shots at him. As a NZ Maori and proud polynesian, i love his dedication to my tahitian brothers and sisters. Negative comments dont deserve to top these comments
yes ... he was purely human, and this includes good and not-that-good things.
The most intelligent people, will question the world.
It's absurd that a car wreck on RUclips will get 10 million likes, and this brilliant gem has gotten 1.1K. Proof that generally people don't want to look this deep into themselves.
Play him off, keyboard cat!
Since the Tipping Point for Humanity in 2020 AND The Shift of Humanity 2020 - 2030, What you say IS Changing.
The media DONT empower The Masses By reporting the Positive ! ❤😮😊❤ There IS Change going on regardless of HOW it APPEARS 😮😊
Wow....where did you got this great stuff from Brando? Never heard this before.Brando was such an very intelligent man it,s fascinating to just listen.Thanks
What a noble man. Can’t praise him enough. I feel pure love for him… wish he would still be around 😔
The only interview ive heard in which Brando s allowed to be himself, he knew it too, a far cry from the usual crap .he was used to. Studs let people express themselves, and always knew his subjects.
He's just turned 39 here and it's fascinating and evident how well read he is and how much happier he is talking about philosophy and the human condition than he is discussing Hollywood. Excellent interview so far. I'm 30 mins in. (You can tell by my account name that.... I'm a bit of a fan! 😳👀❤️)
Are you related?
Sorry, duh!
@@franciscogalvan3384Only when it comes to handsomeness yes
What a sensitivity: a mind forever in process: ever embracing the beauty and difficulty of the human heart.
Great interview💯
This is a masterclass on human nature. Stunning!
Wow. A genuine conversation between two people. A rarity it seems.
Thank you for this gem. Most people don't know what a wonderful human being he was with concern for everyone in such a deep level. He had so much knowledge of all areas of life. Amazing. The very highest and best to all.
Without a doubt a man who had a deep and sound knowledge of the human psyche. The best interview ever put on RUclips.
This dude had psychological x-ray vision, some parts gave me goosebumps
A man so far ahead of his time, people just didn’t understand his depth. I’m glad he was able to go as deep as he could in this interview, one thing with Brando is there is a lot of interviewers who ask him very shallow questions and you can tell he doesn’t respect it. Not many will be here again like Marlon Brando. What a human!
Love you marlon Brando great mind and ideas and your perception of the things that really matter says a lot about how much you love humanity to understand both good and bad in all of us
MARLON BRANDO IS THE GREATEST ACTOR EVER. THE GOAT❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thank you very much! It's very important to hear his unedited thoughts.
A brilliant mind
beautiful. i hope he too listened and heard what the man across from him spoke of how every man/woman should be examined, how us of the street must look within ourselves to find truth because it is much of what brando expresses outwardly and also of how in this world one can worship based upon an earlier statement of agreement yet a very human figure sits across in conversation rather than interrogation. two who think for thyself
Brilliant. Fascinating. Beautiful.
He was well before his time
.👀Very Intelligent,Interesting and was Great about Integration and No one should be judged for Color,Poor,Rich.👀🙏👍🙏👏🤞😁
I Absolutely love Marlon Brando. He's definitely the most handsome man I've ever seen! The greatest actor in the history of cinema. There won't be another Brando in this lifetime.
Apart from his intellect,just love hearing his voice.Thank you.
Fascinating, riveting, stunning. I wish there were more famous people who are deep thinkers like Brando. May he rest in peace.
Our actors today talk about their diet and fitness routines

I have the utmost respect for Marlon Brando true social héro RIP
I love how Brando just flat out says. I don't agree. Elevated discourse on humanity.
A great vidéo. Brando is a excellent actor and a great film producer. Here he is simply brillant. Thanks Marlon.
He is living and using life to understand life. And what a style. Which is himself not put on. God what a blessing it would have been to have known him. What a loss.
The poem he quotes is Dover Beach by Matthew Arnold
Every time I listen to this, and any interview Brando has done, I find something new and brilliant in Brando's interpretation of humanity and life. Marlon Brando was a genuine genius, raw and truthful, on a level few people have ever reached and researched within themselves ! One of the most brilliant philosophical geniuses of our time. His acting was beyond any actor of our time, but his mind was more brilliant in the area of psychology, humanity, and of what it means to be a human being..than any PH.D teaching at an Ivy league college. Most other interviewers missed the boat by asking him frivolous questions, this interviewer asked the deeper questions which totally show cases Brando's brilliant mind..best interview ever ! Thank You for sharing ! So glad we have this insight and record into Brando's Brilliance for generations to study !
Brando didn't know jack. Look at his personal life and how he ended. You think is in heaven now? You ever hear Brando talk about God?
Rico, you make a valid point. Intelligent without virtue is false intelligence that crumbles over time. Brando said himself on the stand at his sons trial that he lead a meaningless life so he’s not one to emulate. He was an incredibly talented and interesting guy but definitely not a prophet. All the problems and conflicts he addresses can be solved by following Christ but that’s just not fashionable and requires humility which is greatly lacking in every generation
Very Well Stated.

@@seshwondo376 The truth regarding WHAT IS/WAS LIVED,...NOT just what is said.
Brando was a brilliant and very conflicted person,...but certainly no saint.
Oh so beautiful! Thank you from a follower of his trail over a life time. This is a gem and show more the scandal and how we were denied the higher mind of this man. We can listen into his labyrinthine sense of existance. Ps studs Terkel was also born in the year of rat 12 years previously. This as student of chinese astrology confirms a point of common understanding that is epic here how they bounce off eachbothers track.
Those looking for Hollywood stories or insight into his process won't find it here, or in any Brando interview. Studs was prepared with interesting questions about his films and characters, but gave up. Luckily he is well versed on a wide variety of subjects. Imagine the average interviewer! They would be exasperated very early on! What you WILL find here is what things are truly important to Brando ( at the time), and an interesting , free form conversation .
Marlon Brando is the King of Actors and always will be The Godfather
Wisdom. Genius. Heartbreak...
I love Marlon he was misunderstood
Oh...what a great mind...such deep insights....Thank you for uploading this gem..!!!
A rare free and sophisticated bird, untamable.
i would see him like a greek philosopher...he talking without prejudices, because his high thoughts skills allow him to be above judgement..listen the way he thinking and analysing without judgement, about Hitler...this voice is loan with capacity of thinking without hate or love...he speak also, you can feel it, with delicacy...you should read his biography , you feel he is very cultivate about science philosophy nature etc..is ascendant is Sagittarius, this is the sign of philosophy and elevate spirit
amazing person
Unpopular opinion: The Ugly American features one of my favourite Brando performances.
Same.
What an absolutely amazing interview. Thank you for uploading!
Marlon Brando
Marlon Brando set foot in New York in the summer of 1943 at the age of just 19, in a simple suit with only a few dollars in his pocket.مارلون براندو
وطأ مارلون براندو قدمه في نيويورك في صيف عام 1943 عندما كان عمره 19 عامًا فقط ، مرتديًا بدلة بسيطة مع بضعة دولارات فقط في جيبه.
The interviewer is the radio host and oral historian Studs Terkel.
epic, thank u so much!
Amazing!
I didn't know he spoke 6 languages.
Marlon Brando was an activist in the truest sense of the word. Sometimes passionate to a fault in his devotion to causes. Also, one of America's best actors we've ever had honestly. But normally when you become as famous as he did, you tend to stop caring about people you feel are below you but Marlon wasn't that way. People have made jokes, especially about his later interviews and I'm not gonna lie. I've laughed myself, but I also think you could see how great of a sense of humor Marlon had. He didn't mind people poking him. He also liked to make people laugh. We miss you, Mr. Brando.
thanks!
Fascinating interview
"the unexamined life is not worth living..." Some say things and they say sound cliche but he had a sincerity to him as validation.
Brilliant mind and spirit. It is a murky world in each of our souls
Honestly yes.now and forever
Great interview, what a great intellect, at times i felt a bit sorry for the guy interviewing him, but it's fascinating and he let him speak,
Thank you 👍
HERMOSO!!❤
What a fantastic interview, but it takes two to tango well, great questions from the interviewer.
Marlon Brando was the greatest actor of all time.
A great feeling man . A human of the upmost !! There must some Irish in him ;)
Brando was extremely talented and intelligent. He was one of the very few actors who were true genius. He was very well read and knew in detail many subjects ranging from science, politics, history, religion, psychology, agriculture, construction, and so on. He was a man who genuinely cared about people. He championed Indian and Black rights when it was unpopular to do so. However, he was an abusive womanizer, he often treated authority figures in the movie business with disdain and total disrespect, many not deserving such treatment. More than one woman committed or attempted to commit suicide due to his callousness about his relationship with them. While he truly loved his children, as best as he knew how; he had a terrible upbringing, he was an unstable father. and some of his children had unfulfilled and troubled lives, in part due to his inattention and womanizing. In total, I believe at the end of his life that while he had a lot to be proud of, he had many regrets and remorse.
EPIC ACTOR, EPIC NON-CONFORMIST, EPIC WARRIOR FOR THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF OTHERS, EPIC HUMAN BEING, EPIC EVERYTHING.
RIP DEAREST UNKNOWN FRIEND. IT'S NOT GOODBYE, IT'S TILL WE MEET AGAIN IN HEAVEN. " IN THE SEA OF LOVE WHERE EVERYONE WOULD LOVE TO DROWN"

Brando gets a bad rep for some his shenanigans, and he deserved some of that, but fundamentally he was a huge-hearted humanist who saw the world's potential, but also saw the unwillingness of America even to try to realize its potential for human equality and kindness. Life and society disappointed him, and that sunk his outlook, drove him inward.
Fascinating, wise, humanist. And an anti-capitalist, I think, which makes me love him even more.
The first time I ever saw this man in a film called the Young Lions I was drawn to him and have been all my life has changed my life for the better if everyone in this world thought and lived like this man it will be a better place
The most beautiful man with the most beautiful mind!!! Forever my love! 🥰💋💖✨💫🥂
he was obviously a great deal more than a simple movie actor
hm , never ever read /heard such statement
" Marlon Brando a simple movie actor " ;)
This is a gem, true. It is a call for all of us to find ourselves being ourselves and find our inner peace. Be at peace with ourselves. Being ourselves. Turn off your mind relax and float down stream. Rid ourselves of our ego. The Tibetan book of the dead by way of John Lennon. Ego death.
The guy’s always been quite interested in the spiritual wisdom from the East. Actually, one might say he happened to be born a westerner, but he felt he rather belonged the rest of the World.
The MAN was WELL EDUCATED...an intellectual(a rarity on his field) ...that s why he was such GREAT ACTOR
High school dropout"!
great interview with marlon brando keep up the great work
