Ma Nan Brando

A reporter asked Brando, did you know that you would be chosen as the greatest actor in history? In his later years, Brando grinned and touched the dog walking by his knee. He said that the greatest actor is my dog. Every time he wants to eat, he acts like he loves me very much. This is the definition of a great actor in Brando's mind. Brando is a good student. When he was a teenager, he lived in the home of acting teacher Stella Adler. She learned how to reproduce the real acting from Stanislavsky in Paris, and Brando learned from her again. To the truth of Stanney. He began to feel that other people’s performances were too stereotypical, too facial, too fake, they were just performing, so he felt that Gary Cooper’s performance was like oatmeal and too rough; Bogart was a crispy oatmeal. Quite simply; Clark Gable is a fruit circle, too dry? It is not difficult to understand why he would not appreciate the title of the greatest actor, even using his own dog to ridicule, because he wanted to be more than just a breakfast cereal-style actor. He wants to act authentically. He is unruly, he is unique, he is loyal to himself, and he really did a real performance. The real result was that he had a conflict with the film company. He felt that his characters were not full enough. He felt that the director was incompetent. He felt that the script needed to be revised. He was trying to express his true self. The real performance of the film extends from the role in front of the camera to everything in life outside the camera. Soon, a real Brando was disgusted by the film company. He began to look for his true self outside the movie circle. He bought the right to live on an island in Tahiti for $200,000. He said that the sky and sunset there are the most beautiful things in the world, all the performances, and everything. Movies are not as important as a grain of sand on the beach. They are true. Braving a bullet, he walked into the Native American armed forces to support their confrontation with the government forces, and he walked into Martin Luther King’s team to fight for civil rights for the blacks. These all confirmed his words, performances and movies are not as important as a grain of sand. He chose Indian and Tahitian women as his wives to prove his distance from mainstream white ideology. He sometimes starred in movies in order to make money. He didn't even memorize his lines, but stuck on the face of the opposing actor, and improvised after a glance. He used this kind of carelessness to express his contempt for the film industry. "We have no artists, only money, only businessmen." He could not persuade himself to do a cereal-like performance, nor could he persuade himself to be a cereal-like person. He often recalls, small When he comes home from school, he can eat the sweet apple pie prepared by his mother. The kind of sweetness that he wants is his life pursuit, not the oatmeal style. Although healthy, it has no taste. In his later years, he continued to use the sweets he loved since childhood to fatten up his body and fill his lonely heart. He is real and lonely. He has struggled with unhappy childhood experiences all his life. An alcoholic mother, a beating father, a nanny who left him, he felt that he was abandoned by love. "We acted very well. In front of outsiders, I acted as a filial son and my parents acted as caring parents, but that was completely an illusion of acting." This is just like the "Horse Boy", like a ghost from time to time. The Ma Nan mother who appeared, just like the curse that she has never stopped for her son since childhood, is the source of the dark power of his depression and lack of confidence in love. Just as BoJack couldn't force a performance with chicken blood, Brando couldn't accept the performance and life that he thought was unreal. Even though Coppola and his cooperating godfather brought him back to the throne of the film king, he said that Coppola was a bastard because the war performance in the script of "Apocalypse Now" was wrong. Although Brando agrees with real performance and real life, he clearly distinguishes the two. "I won't let the audience walk into my heart, because my heart is my private domain." Just like his home, every door has huge locks and surveillance cameras added, and he puts his own Private life and heart are all hidden from intrusion to ensure their authenticity. He even recorded many tapes, talking to himself, to tell himself the truest self. The only person who walked into his heart was Bertolucci. He used superb director deception skills to let Brando reveal his unhappy childhood and lonely and desperate inner world in his "Last Tango in Paris". Brando was shocked after watching the film and said Bertolucci, you stole a lot of things from me. He used Tahiti's nature, isolated seclusion, and tape-style self-telling to contend with the world's unreliable and frustrating evaluations of him. He has always adhered to Stanislavsky's truth. Steinney said that there must be a wall between the actors and the audience in order for the actors to be truly immersed in their own roles and perform authentically. Brando's approach is very straightforward. He really blocked the audience outside with the high-wall compound, and played himself at home. Like the horse boy BoJack, in the eyes of the outside world, Brando is a loser. He lost his fortune in his old age, his wife was scattered, he was shot at home, and he had to testify in court with his gray hair and his daughter committed suicide. The whole society announced that a person who was rebellious, far away from the public, and unwilling to cooperate has received his due trial and end. However, Brando easily fought back in the interview. The greatest actor you like is just a dog who will please the show. And I, Brando, is myself. Suddenly, he discovered that another person who believed in Steinney had a lonely life trajectory very similar to Brando. His name was Zhou Xingchi.
