    Wow those Marlin Brando comparison pictures are crazy. He really did an amazing job. I always forget that Marlon Brando was so much younger!

      If you compare how Max Von Sydow looked towards the end of his life, he also nailed that look in The Exorcist.

    When I saw «the exorcist» I didn’t know actor Max Von Sydow very well. It had intrigued me to see him in other films; how can he be so young!? I finally learned
    that everything was makeup :-) This clip made me want to watch the movie again (my first viewing was a very long time ago) to see the amazing makeup job and to
    salute Max Von Sydow who passed away earlier this year.

    I saw bombshell in theatres and 100% noticed the makeup lol. On Charlize it was incredibly subtle, perhaps the best likeness I’ve ever seen crafted out of prosthetics before, but on literally every other character it was terrible to the point of farce. (Look up Richard Kind as Rudy Giuliani if you don’t believe me.)
