Unruly Terry

Some people say that Marlon Brando's performance in the film is a true performance, rebellious and known to the world. The high head, slightly disdainful eyes, and a wicked smirk at the corner of his mouth catered to people's expectations for heroes.

Heroes have always been saddened by Beauty Pass. If there is no Edi, I don't think Terry would have resisted. Although I admit that Terry has long been secretly rebellious in his bones, he just needs a fuse. Being in the arms of a beautiful woman will inflate a man's heroic thoughts, creating a feeling of being needed, and even have the spirit of the world giving up on me. Terry's choice of Edie led to the tragic death of his brother Charlie. I don't know if there will be any guilt in my heart, but in the end, as the first hero to stand up to resist, sacrifice is inevitable.

The character of Father Barry is more expressive. When he starts smoking and drinking in a serious manner, people can't help laughing. The contrast between the character setting and performance creates a light comedy effect. The character setting of the priest in "Young and Dangerous" is also similar to this. It is similar, they all hide a sullen heart under their serious appearance, but upholding justice is their moral bottom line.

As for the heroine Yidi, apart from being pretty, there is nothing else that stands out. I feel that the old movies in the past are not movies with women as the protagonists. The expressiveness of the female characters is relatively average, and it can only be regarded as an embellishment in the film.

    Marlon's acting skills are simply superb, and no one can improvise as well. When he plays opposite girls, it's so natural that he sees the scene where he usually picks up girls! Handy and natural exudes charm! The subject matter has depth! Retired boxer Malone is perfect! But why does Marlon's eyes make me feel unnatural! ? Is it because of the makeup or something?

    Looking at the title and starring Marlon Brando, I thought it would be very good, but who knew it was so half-hard and not soft.
