Marlon Brando here’s the funny thing
even though his mother was a total
alcoholic and absent a lot of the time
she ended up playing a huge role in his
development she was involved in the
theater and this was an inspiration for
Brando in fact he picked up the talent
for mimicry at a really young age what
he could essentially do is pick up on
your takes and mannerisms and
impersonate them perfectly when he got
into his career this wasn’t going to be
enough for brand or the perfectionist he
had to take it a step further his rural
development was unprecedented he would
get into a role in a way that no one
else would for example when he’s filmed
the nineteen fifty movie the men where
he was going to be playing a crippled
war veteran he actually bothered to
spend a month in a Veterans Hospital in
bed as though he was an invalid himself
but it goes a little bit further than
that decades ago a brand new acquired an
island complete with its own little
tribe and this led up to him eventually
playing the famous Colonel Kurtz in
Apocalypse Now where he leads a tribe of
renegade guerillas through the Vietnam
War and then also the island of dr.
Moreau where he plays a strange recluse
who lives on the island with his own
tribe of subordinates Marlon Brando has
so much mojo he turned down the lead
role and rebel without a cause a movie
that made James Dean but let’s face it
what really immortalized him was his
role in The Godfather he managed to take
a role that would have been otherwise a
very cliche role and turn it into
something extremely organic and with an
element of humanity basically you may
not know this but he stuffed his cheeks
with tissue paper to give that Slurpee
CD element to his voice that made it so
famous but this is why this man had so
much mojo he could make a roll his own
he really brought it to life but more
than that he also overcame obstacles
that most people can’t when his career
got down in the dumps in the early 60s
not only did he come back but he came
back as Vito Corleone and it didn’t stop
there overcoming his own obstacles
wasn’t good enough for a man like Marlon
Brando let’s face it he’s too big for
only one person’s obstacles he was a
huge champion of civil rights
specifically for Native America
so even though he was a bit of a recluse
and a bit of an eccentric the man was
also mojo riffing
