A moment of silence please for The Godfather

I feel sorry for how his life had been the past few years. Since his soon died, his whole attitude and even grip on reality at times seemed to dratsically flucuate. Hopefully now he can rest in peace and see his son again. It's also kinda sad how one of the greatest actors of the last century sadly became the butt of an incredible amount of jokes the last decade and a half or so of his life.

He was always a pretty sensitive soul. I guess that's why he was the master of method acting.

Just saw the godfather again on SPIKE. What a masterpiece. That opening scene with the wedding is one of the best things ever filmed, in my opion.

He's as good in On the Waterfront, and he changed the world in Streetcar. Look at movies before that, and look at them after. by the mid-sixites, everyone was doing the Brando thing.

You are an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks...

RIP

Well said, JWSleep - most people of my generation and younger know Brando from the Godfather, but he was brilliant in earlier movies. Anyone remember "The Freshman"? He was fantastic in that, lampooning himself, without slipping into parody.
