4 of the 10 GOAT actors - Brando, Nicholson, Pacino, Day-Lewis (and 3 of the top 4 Americans - except for De Niro) celebrate birthdays in April (the GOAT month obviously).......but Brando's is 100 years since his birth........ So you'll be seeing a lot of things in Pop Culture about this and if you like share films, scenes, Twitter disses (see below!), Twitter raves........ performances that made you love (or hate) him, discuss his influence......his rivals..........his heirs.........his peers........overrated, underrated, underseen....... ............all of it..........

Never cared for him besides The Godfather, which he's great in. One-dimensional strutting in Streetcar, sad sack whiner in On the Waterfront, etc. Lousy voice and incessant mumbling. Get him the fuck outta here. He looked cool as a young man, but that's not acting.

bro the fact that he didn't win for A Streetcar is so stupid. It is indeed a shame that he didn't win for his best performance and was the only one from the cast to lose but hey, Bogart remaining Oscar-less would've been an even bigger shame. And the Academy more than made up for this by rewarding Brando twice. Thankfully everyone got their due! |

In an odd way Brando losing that Oscar - the single most influential performance on film in male American history imo - established a whole differet parameter of "alternative" ideas / theory in film......that The Academy ALWAYS gets it wrong.....when Pacino didn't win in the 70s there was that precedent that his fans could argue - and Newman not winning in the 60s etc also........
That idea - the actor as a sort of outsider to an establishment as a kind of "Punk Rock" iconoclast has its roots in that specific performance - even if he did win 2 eventually also subsequently.....

Clint made it clear right away like he was still shooting Dirty Harry  ) |
