My Take
I keep coming back to Brando as the dividing line in screen acting: there is before him and after him. What fascinates me most is not the two Oscars but the refusal underneath them, the mumbling that turned out to be precision, the rejected statuette, the contempt for Hollywood even as he defined it. A Streetcar Named Desire still feels dangerous, and Don Corleone is practically scripture for every actor since. Yes, the late years were erratic, and the Razzie sits on his record like graffiti on a monument. To me that mess is inseparable from the genius; he treated acting as truth-telling, and truth is rarely tidy.
