resorting to the title of antihero

 


Marlon Brando, the actor most responsible for bringing Method realism to American movies, spent his later years deflating the mystique around his own profession. His argument was that acting is simply persuasion and concealment, things every person practices daily, and that the craft differs from everyday life only in degree.

Brando is right. He found it and then denied it. Played it down. Dumbed down his talent for the spotlight. It's all reverse psychology. Nobody fooled us better. The truth is, Brando was an enigma. One of a kind. To say he meant what he said on terms that made us revere him were only contradictory. A genius. I learned a great deal from him.
