I know he's a lefty...But he was once an excellent actor. And he doesn't seem to be hateful...Just misguided. I'll never forget his support of MLK when it wasn't chic.
I once heard that for one of his scenes in "Superman", he had his dialog written on Sarah Douglas'(Ursa) forehead so he could read his lines.
There was aslo a film he stared in with Matthew Broderick - "The Freshman" - That Brando torpedoed in an interview before it came out in theaters. Brando appologied to the interviewer and said the film sucks, and "this is my last film, and it seems I'm going out with a dog". The movie flopped. And it wasn't Brando's last film.
He was a good actor. But he's coasted on a good rep for a long time.
"And he doesn't seem to be hateful...Just misguided. I'll never forget his support of MLK when it wasn't chic."
Treu. And I've never heard him rally behind present day democratic platforms. He seemed to be an old school member of the "loyal opposition", rather than one of the present day hatemongers. His social activism was heartfelt, if not a little wierd sometimes (does anyone understand what he was talking about at the oscars?).
Fortunately he has enough friends in high places I doubt he will ever have to worry about losing his home.
